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.
Just a scumbag insensitive riding a motorcycle cutting me off and trying to brake check me. They had the double lightning bolt symbols and off viewed swaztika on their motorbike. Thought I was going to have some unwanted trouble. Careful out there.
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
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.
Just the title
At first it reminded me of the Leftovers, but this show will be well remembered in its own right.
>!Loved the circular nature of the story. In the start, Kirsten loses her family, finds Jeevan, who then loses her, but she finds Sarah, Alex and the traveling symphony (her new family). In the end, she loses Sarah, Alex but finds Jeevan and keeps her family, because the world is safe.!<
Might have to read the book to see if answers more questions.
I felt this way about The Nevers, it seemed like a generally interesting period drama with superpowers but it wasn’t so amazing that I really wanted to watch it all the way through then the big reveal at the end of how (no spoilers) was like “okay, whoa, I’ve got to keep going.”
What other shows have worked that way for you?
Interesting points from Bradon: https://youtu.be/Dnbmku3lFmg?t=431
For example, LotR movies were hated so much for the changes they made, the casting choices, removal or Tom from Fellowship of the ring, etc. But now we don't remember it.
That said, criticism is good when it's constructive :) If you like or don't like the show, share it, but don't hate others for liking or disliking it :)
>Prime Video’s series adaptation of worldwide best-selling game franchise Fallout*,* from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films, is coming together. Nolan is set to direct the premiere of the series, which is slated to begin production in 2022. Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) have come aboard as showrunners.
It also might be one of the worst things ever made in human history. Like It was written by edgy preteens, they have 1000 storylines at the same time and unnecessary subplots, there's no character development and non of the characters have actual personality or chemistry, they're all so bland and unrealistic. everyone's acting is awful literally every actor in this show is BAD. Honestly, never felt this way to any show or movie, it needs to be taken down from television and get canceled and never be renewed for another season.
Before the season started, >!I assumed they would pretty much just drop the Laconia plotline altogether and wrap with the Inaros conflict in the Sol system. But we're spending quite a bit of time on Laconia setting up a storyline that there is definitely no room to see all the way to completion. So what's going on? Dare I hope they're setting up a series of movies or something? !<With so few episodes left, I just can't figure out how they're going to tie it all up.
This show has failed to fulfill its primary obligation in adapting the books to a visual medium: it has neglected the source material to advance the personal politics of the show writers, and it has done so with overt contempt for the mechanics of the universe and the characters created by Jordan. The following are just a few examples:
• Lan breaking down like that (read book 5, chapter 53. He didn't cry then, he would not cry over axe bro going all hirakiri on himself) • Using the oath rod like that • Moraine opening the ways with channeling(Uhhh... Loial is standing right there) • Logain seeing Nynaeve channel • The notion that there has ever been a turning of the wheel in which the dragon was not Lews Therin(OR WAS FIVE FREAKING PEOPLE?!)
There is no way you can revere the amount of thought that Robert Jordan put into this series while also thinking you can just eschew all of his plot lines for ones of your own devising. There is also no way you have time to develop all of these contrived sub-plots, but you don't have time to include more of the actual plot. I can't understand how any true fan of the books can appreciate what's being done here, and I don't believe you can respect Jordan and respect what Judkins is doing with his life's work.
So there is this episode of I watched once of an unknown sci-fi series, tried to check the synopsis of The Outer Limits and some Twilight Zone, but no success so far.
it was located in present times, in some American area, people started digging a hole, and they discovered that when sending stuff down the hole it returned back with something else in return, and sometimes even messages, written in english.
People started to think that some sort of alien civilization lives down the hole.
Once they sent a chicken down, and "they" returned gems with a friendly message "thanks for the food".
Of course the main antagonist started to get greedy so he sent some random crap, but without gems in return. So he got angry and decided to go down himself with a hook attached to a rope to check on those "aliens".
when the rest of the crew rolled him back up, they discovered that the man they sent down disappeared and the hazmat suit was filled in with gems.
There was a message attached: "thanks for the food; it tasted like chicken"
