Agreed



also,

Its time to get onboard with The Terror, much like Sons of Anarchy... its as good as you'll get on regular cable

There is still a lot of places to go. Hopefully there is a season 5

We loved the first 3 seasons, and happily zipped through S4 in a handful of days. Still great. :D

YAS!!

Created by Taylor Sheridan - say no more!

Babylon Berlin streaming on Netflix is getting 5 star reviews which is well deserved. It is a German production that is dubbed over in English which works well enough. Story is fantastic. You'll learn a lot about the Weimar Republic if you look things up, and you'll learn that the Nazis didn't just pop-out-of-nowhere but were the result of, not just chaos but desires but happens when other plotters plan to overthrow the new republic and return the Kaiser to power. This alone with the communist unrest mixed in.

The 16-part German period drama Babylon Berlin, which starts streaming on Netflix today, is lavish, epic, dizzyingly complex, and (through the four episodes sent to me early) as satisfying as anything I’ve seen in months....

It’s also similarly expensive. One of the immediate pleasures of this sprawling crime story set in 1929 Weimar Republic Berlin—which is full of unknown-to-me, hugely talented German actors and has as thickly braided a plot as a Tolstoy novel—is the millions thrown at the screen (it’s reportedly the most expensive German-language show ever made).

Is anyone watching Patrick Melrose?

Simultaneously better and worse than I hoped/expected.

Worse, because even in the 5-hour format, there simply isn't time for all the signature prose from the source to play out.
Better, because it seems to be rounding into a truly innovative take on the usual tales of wealth and addiction and depravity. This is because BC plays him as someone legitimately traumatized and legitimately trying to better himself.

The [truly] depraved are juuuust a little more depraved, and the idiots juuuuuust a little more idiotic, and the journey juuuust a little more plausible, because, even though the intoxication scenes are dramatic, the milieu is played with restraint. The horror and tension of his childhood is palpable, although almost entirely unspoken or unremarked-upon.

Just finished 1st season of Rain on Netflix. Very enjoyable.

Thank you - noted.

not being nit picky but you DO mean The Rain, right?

Enjoying The Handmaid's Tale. What a crazy scenario but somehow believable and unsettling. Brutal at times.

One of my sisters likes that one. I just don't get Hulu.

BTW, I forgot to say Babylon Berlin is a crime drama—mafia-like types, drug running, weapons running thriller in a historical period. So it has plotting Bolsheviks, plotting Monarchists who want to return the Kaiser to power, current Social Democrat govt, corrupt cops, flappers, transvestites and gays which were normalized during that era of debauchery and I reckon eventually Nazi's will enter. It starts around 1928/29.

Gavin & Stacey

It's a cross between 'the office' and 'arrested development'. it's actually not a new series at all.


I don't have all night to describe all the nuances, just check it out if you feel like it...
