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.
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.
I can usually watch any ott shows without seeing the religious remarks and tbh I'm not a very religious person. Though, I am very sensitive to justice and bias.
There's a argument that's made for not banning is, "if you don't like it, don't watch it". As we must not jeopardize freedom of speech and expression.
But where should we Hindus draw that line; when this freedom turns into abuse?
In day to day life, this happens naturally. We draw lines with people, based on who can and cannot take a joke/offence. And we expect the other to respect this line.
We are all aware if a Hindu directed TV series is made kidding about prophet Mohommad, will at best be marked as Islamophobic and worst, the associated people might be lynched/killed.
Should these people even have right to defame anyone else's religion? It just hypocrisy at that point as they play as the victim. If you can't take a joke, then don't make one either. And that's what angers me.
They keep crossing this line over and over again, making fun of you and your beliefs, but instantly takes offence and turns violent/victim when you joke the same. (Just imagine having a friend like that).
Freedom of Speech should go both ways.
Secondly:
There's plenty child porn made, why don't we also have the same attitude towards it. "Don't like it, don't watch it?" and just ignore it. Well because It's wrong, because it hurts people, both physically and mentally. Hence it should be and is illegal.
If the creators of tandav can't with all their creative might go beyond hurting religious sentiments to garner popularity or spread propaganda, whatever their motives may be; then it deserves all the criticisms and hatred. It is at the end fo day, insulting your beliefs.
Additionally, how would you feel if you deeply believe in something/someone and you know someone is foul mouthing about them behind your back. Will you not stop it from happening ? That shuts the "don't watch it" argument.
With all these factors, I believe at the very least, it should be partially censored. Banned? To anyone who isn't extremely woke and ignorant (cos you can't have one without other), it's pretty clear it's more propaganda than entertainment. So I wouldn't mind that either.
TLDR: Freedom of speech goes both ways. If you can't take a joke, don't make one. And using freedom of speech to exploit religious beliefs is not cool.
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 :)
