Hey folks, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but can anyone point me to available doc series/tv series/movies that captures the American history esp. between 1490s to 1900s. I want to know how things changed for the native Indians after America's discovery.
For context -
I recently completed Red Dead Redemption 2 video game by Rockstar Games which captures the American history of 1890s - 1910. In some part of the game, we help native Indians in their struggle. I found it really interesting and want to dig more.
I also watched Yellowstone tv series and looking to get my hands on the 1883 tv series. These also has some connection with native Indians but in a modern world.
I am from Asia and have a very limited knowledge on this.
I forgave a lot of the series and really enjoyed seeing new interpretations of characters I got invested in.
But the last episode explained nothing, closed off nothing, showed nothing, and added nothing - all in service of a poor cliff-hanger to try and retain viewers next season that will inevitably backfire.
American TV executives refuse to finish a story. The plot can NEVER be resolved for the season if they are even thinking about season 2.
They're was NO closure. No point in which you felt a pay off to all the set up of the season. And no point in watching it further.
If you can't tell I just watched the season finale and am raging that they could have so easily stuck to the books and had an even mildly satisfying conclusion.
What a Waste of Time.
the episodes starts with a male narrator in a suit telling about odd events around the world. he is dressed in a suit, part of some secret goverment agency. he is in a camper van that has many tv screens in it, like the ones police use to track people and listen their conversations. i remeber few episode themes. one was about an airport where was a different time zone in it. the burgers got old and people were missing when entering that airport territory. another episode was about forest gnomes posessing a knife and killing people or kids?
I'm sorry this is a bit ambiguous, a few years back a tv series came on in Australia. My memory is vague but i remember there being 2 separate story lines in the show. One was of a young male police detective who partied hard and was a bit corrupt. The second story was, i think, of a family in Mexico. I want to say the young female was an assassin but i think i remember her having something to do with the DΓa de Muertos celebration. I think that there was a supernatural theme based around that. I only saw one season and lost track of it. I also know it isn't that Penny Dreadful show that came out around the same time.
I specifically mean those were the hosts are complete assholes like they are depicted in Parks and Rec or Monk. I'm aware that these character are supposed to be jerks in the context of the series, but there musst be some truth behind it. These are modern shows I cant imagine this would fly well with Twitter today.
Despite somewhat sci-fi underlying premise it was mainly drama led. Adult themes, so shown late night probably on channel 4 in UK.
From the depths of my subconscious I want to say main protagonists in the town are the sheriff and a female mechanic.
...in the very last scenes, right before the credits. Lyrics include (possible name of song) "How did it come to this"?
