He was tired of being pushed around
English isn't my native language (not even my second language).But I do love to watch british series in english and if available with subtitles(not often the case somehow). Imagine my confusion when a unrelated looking 30 year old calls the older women character Mom. Because it didn't happen to often on my viewings (maybe Ma'am isn't that common) I was confused but I put it always aside as me being not attentive enough. Only with the magic of subtitles was I able to understand how much of an moron I was.
Implied here is … no episodic series (eg Law And Order)
We enjoy Drama Crime, Nordic Noir, etc.
No SciFi or Fantasy Dramas
Subtitles are perfectly fine
Thanks
Episodes 1-5 had me totally stoked. I was really excited that my favorite fantasy series was getting a decent adaptation. And then what the !@#$ happened those last three episodes? The series took a serious turn from decent adaptation to train-wreck. My main gripe was this whole "we'll take you all to the Eye to fight the Dark One and whoever isn't the Dragon is gonna die" with all the main characters being like, yeah alright that sounds fine to me. What justifies this? They had one Trolloc encounter and were all willing to throw their lives away for a Dragon that had zero prep/channeling experience? What the ever loving... Not to mention the travesty of whatever they did to Lord Agelmar/Loial/Moiraine stilling... come on. The sa'angreal ISN'T EVEN FAT.
Anyways. I might read EotW again just to reset my brain... So annoying because the justification for going to the Eye in the books, Rand's encounter at the Gap and everything else would have made so much more sense for the show to simply implement. :(
So my brother tonight is sitting down to watch Star Wars IV with his son for the first time and we were talking about shows that we wish we could see again for the first time.
So I ask you, what is the one TV series you wish you could rewatch but with fresh eyes for the first time?
Something similar to Peaky Blinders, Hannibal or Breaking Bad would be ideal.
Edit: Thanks for the responses. After much careful consideration I have decided to go with The Wire
I don't know if this question has been asked before but I will ask it anyway. What movie do you think would have been better suited as a TV Series?
Some films try to cram wayyyyy too much into too little and feel overstuffed as a result, personally, I think the recent Matt Damon film Stillwater would have been better as a crime miniseries since there was just too much put into the film it felt overstuffed and questions were left unanswered
What films would you say?
I need a new tv as my current one doesn’t have 4K. Should I look at getting a tv with the 2.1 hdmi? Or with 120hz? I don’t know too much about TVs. Will a 4K 60fps tv do?
We just finished the second season and I feel like the second season is just as good if not better than the first season. I've read the books up to where they're at in the show. There's a lot of changes, especially in the second season, mainly expanding and adding characters (the broad strokes are still pretty similar), but I think overall they're more positive than negative. What does everyone else think?
I have a 13 year old Deaf sister. She's been Deaf all her life. We watch a lot of movies together. It's one of the things she can actually enjoy doing with other people. We've seen all the Marvel movies and series and she's watched them too. Anyway. When she saw Hawkeye was hearing impaired she beamed with a smile because she felt he was like her now. I too love how the show handles deaf and hearing impaired characters. It really gives representation to the deaf and hearing impaired people in the super hero world.
Just wanted to share as this was something that just made me smile.
Brokeback Mountain and Queer as Folk (US) here.
Here's my list.
Glad Rags. Mid 90s kids series filmed near the Central Markets. Had the kid from E Street in it.
Sebastian and the Sparrow. 1988 movie directed by Scott Hicks. Starred a kid who was also a roller skater, but he wasn't from Skateline so he wasn't as cool as us.
The Space Demons, Sky Maze, Shinkei trilogy by Gillian Rubenstein.
Lemon Tree Passage - It's set in Byron Bay but I know it was filmed locally because I was an extra. The beach scenes are Horseshoe Bay but if they want to call it something else, fine.
Absolute gems that need no mention.. Here's Humphrey and Fat Cat, Curiosity Show, Bad Boy Bubby.
News Free Zone. 1985, ABC. This show was wierd, it was kind of like Not the 9 O'clock News and Kenny Everett Video Show. I watched an episode being filmed in the gym and pool at the Super Centre. It started legendarary comedian Grahame Bond (Aunty Jack).
Some 90s kids show about runaways filmed at the Islington Workshops which I can't remember the name of.
Just the title
