I'm tired of watching TV series in conscientious and soft women are the main characters for a long time, I'm waiting for your advice
For example, the character I'm looking for similiar look like claire underwoods
And by that I mean characters that are smart, ruthless and manipulative, and preferably they outplay their opponents despite being (much) younger.
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.
He was tired of being pushed around
I was looking for interesting TV shows on Netflix and found several Russian-made. Have you watched something? If yes, please, share your thoughts with me! Your feedback will be very helpful!
"To the Lake"
The series that impressed the horror king Stephen King.
A new unknown virus turns Moscow into a city of the dead. There is no electricity, money has lost its value, those who are not infected yet are desperately fighting for food and gasoline. People who in another situation would never have found themselves under the same roof are forced to forget their previous grievances and embark on a journey full of deadly dangers to Karelia, to a secluded hunting lodge located on an uninhabited island in the middle of a lake.
"Method"
Even those who is familiar with Dexter or True Detective etc., the Russian "Method" managed to surprise. We have seen dark, harsh, frank stories many times, but for central television to show how the eyes are gouged out with pencils.
In addition to the objectively creepy and perfectly prescribed plot arches, “The Method" has another big plus - novelty. All series are based on real stories. Moreover, those that have been hushed up since Soviet times - there could not be maniacs in the USSR, their party did not allow them. A series about criminals with mental disabilities, created in the homeland of Chikatilo.
"Fartsa"
The atmospheric project takes the viewer right into the thick of the 60s, where four friends live, fall in love and dream of a beautiful life. But it's not so easy to live beautifully and within the framework of the law, so the guys earn by Fartsovka - the underground purchase and sale of imported goods.
"Silver spoon"
Children of rich parents are called majors. Our hero has a law degree, but has not worked a single day. An irresponsible playboy. In one of the sprees at night, he stood up for a friend, fought with the police, and knocked out the officer's service weapon… As a result, the father deprives the hero of everything and sends him to work at the police station — the same one in which the night police serve. He is not expected there. He is despised. But it is there that he will begin to become a man.
"Trotsky"
"Trotsky" does not look like other series about historical characters. It has a lot of psychology, a lot of sexuality, a lot of blood. It is especially important that the creators did not try to recreate the biography for certain or make a large-scale slice of the life of that
... keep reading on reddit ➡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?
Not exclusively. Anything with Jack sparrow make into a movie. Whatever. But I’d love to have smaller short form stories of the other pirates in the Caribbean. Maybe make it an anthology and give a series to each story. Make the story actually about Pirates in the Caribbean and not Jack sparrow and friends.
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.
