In short Snowfall is about the perils of drug dealing in LA, and the introduction of "crack" "ready rock" "gravel" "hardrocks" (you get the idea) to the black community in the 80's.

The second half of the show focuses on the same premise of the movie "American Made" with the CIA dealing cocaine and providing weapons to the Contras

For an FX series, I am impressed how they push the boundaries of what is acceptable on basic cable. So far there is only 10 episodes and being the first season it is setting up the series, but they have done a great job of keeping it enticing.

Also, Im sure 95% of you fans know about "The corner" but for as big of a wire fan I am, I did not find out about it until a few months ago. So die hard wire fans, take 6 hours of your life and watch the 6 episode series of "the corner" on youtube ASAP.

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?

[US] This or that? As of 2021, which TV series has had fewer than eight seasons? [01-27-2022]

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.

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.

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?
