Anne With an E
Dark
The Crown
The Last Czars
Away
Outlander- Currently Watching
Emily in Paris- Currently Watching and lovin it. lol.

What series are you watching and recommend it.

Did you know Away is not renewed? Sorry........:(

There's so many I decided I want to live longer to see them all....
I may fight to stay here now!!!! :tongue: And not go quietly into that good night.

Is your avatar Meryl in The French Lieutenants's Woman?

Just unsubscribed from netfix.
Outlander and Ann with an E are not really Netfix TV shows.
The Queens Gambit is, and it is great.
Lately I didn't find much on Netlix so I unsubscribed.
I can get those show somewhere else anyway.

I know. I was so mad with that news when i saw because i loved that serie. It was awesome. I would love to see them in Mars and the development of the relashionship of Emma and Ram :(
It´s so unfair that they cancelled good shows.

Rah, i use another stream no so convencional, i don´t pay to netflix.
Since THE OA i got traumatized with cancellations :(

Vikings
The Queen's Gambit
Lucifer
And currently: Salvation

All of them excellent shows, dealing with some pretty big questions behind the thin veneer of entertainment.

Don't have Netflix any more..
But first shows that come to mind, ones I really enjoyed...

Vikings.
Queen of the South.

I now downloaded when it shows up on TV calendar.

At the moment I am watching "the mandalorian" and "the outpost" "his dark materials"
all not on Netflix

Which big question(s) did you get out of Vikings?:smile:

God vs gods.

I am in the latter camp and it was pretty interesting to see the clash of Polytheism and Monotheism from a historical viewpoint. I have a lot of sympathy for Vikings and how they held on to their traditions and their gods until the bitter end. This final season will be an attempt to settle it, with the Monotheists trying to end the "Heathen" way of life once and for all.

Interesting, thanks.
I have sympathy for them as well..

Have to say though, both traditions have something going for them. The Christians seem more forgiving and obviously carried the knowledge of Rome at their back. Written history, books, laws. OTOH, the vikings have more a free spirit about them, the same spirit I believe returned again centuries later when Northern/Central Europeans sought to distance themselves from Rome and make their own decisions.

The Last Kingdom is also on Netflix, I don't know if you've seen it. It's a good show though they handle the vikings more as cartoonish villains.

Yeah, the Last Kingdom is on my to do list, but in general, medieval European history, especially during the dark ages, depresses me, so I haven't started watching it yet.

Not sure if I can think of many highlights for Christianity during the dark ages, it is all-round depressing, with perhaps Ireland and the Eastern Roman Empires being partial exceptions, at least for a while.

High Middle Ages might be more to your liking. Return of Greek philosophy, creation of universities, lots of colourful clothing, nice music, beautiful churches. Not as grim and all ruins as in many movies/series, where they can't show the splendour because of budgets.

I'm a medieval nerd though!:tongue:

But if you like polytheism.. then yeah, one has to get back further in time (Europe at least).

I really enjoyed The Last Kingdom

One huge thing I loved about it is the good guys don't all die or lose fights
so tired of that in series and movies

hey directors/writers, its ok to have the good guys win sometimes!

game of thrones, vikings...walking dead, yellowstone(all good guys may be dead its a end of season cliff hanger), so depressing when the writers always have the good guys lose or be killed...why is that supposed to be entertaining?

i really liked homeland too, not sure what platform that is on

My Netflix series that I watch are: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (2010 reboot) F is for Family this animated cartoon show is about a middle-class suburban family it takes place in the 1970s. I'm glad the show is not set in modern times, if it was anime it would be most likely to be set in modern or the Feudal era. She-Ra Princess of power (2020 reboot) .

Interesting point..

I understand your frustration, though I'd say deaths can add to the story as long as they're meaningful and improve the story. Many deaths in Game of Thrones were just random and made me think ''Why was this character part of the show to begin with?'' Say Stannis Baratheon, his death makes his entire story in the show pointless. I like it when deaths of big characters are intricately connected to the narrative as a whole, and bring development to other characters.

The deaths in Vikings, of important characters, did add something to the show. There is character development and there is retribution. It has a purpose to the story as later revealed. In Game of Thrones you rarely have that, it's just a large number of characters that are very loosely connected. An example of a story that tries to do too much... too many characters, too many places. Works in an MMO rpg video game, but doesn't necessarily make a meaningful story.

Anyway.. ramblings over.

After Life, Ricky Gervais

The Dark Crystal
 

I thought the Dark Crystal film was so brilliant that I expected the series to be absolutely junk but it was superb, I highly recommend it. It describes exactly what is happening on this prison planet.

The series is much better IMO. I'm going through my second run. It's well written with every bit of lore connecting to the whole.
I think they should make season II. There's just so much stuff to work with!

There's another season!
I watch so many! All the usuals.
Lately?
Fate
Travelers
Bonding
You

The vampire diaries i have been watching along with the originals and shadow hunters

Films dont interest me in the slightest


Namaste

I'm going to watch Cursed. Another take on the Arthurian legend. I hope it's good.

totally they should make season 2!!! so good and magical

i also loved the OA...sense8

We watched the “Queen’s Gambit”, by far the best show we have seen in a long time!

Did you see Travelers?:wink:

oh yes and i loved that one too lol

its just annoying when they cancel the shows with no like, real ending ><

I just watched a movie called "The Dig" - nice.

We just watched Nomadland with Francis McDerrmot. It felt like a documentary. It was well done, respectful.

I started watching After Life, whoever mentioned that. Really, Really like it, THANKS!

It wasn't. Stopped watching. The pace was all over the place...

I finished ''Barbarians'' today. Germans versus Romans. Short season (only 6 episodes) but I love the fact that it was all in German and Latin!!!!

I'm watching Emily in Paris, which is good ol' silly fun!

Started with The Haunting of Bly Manor. An innocent American woman takes the job of au-pair but finds out the house is haunted! Intriguing series.

me too lol. I almost died of laughing in the end of the first episode lol

The aupair is a beauty, I have never seen her before...reminded me of Piper Perabo...same with in
The Discovery of Witches, Theresa Palmer, a young beauty, I had never seen before.
I actually stopped watching The Bly story when I could tell it was becoming sad...
hahaha, I left on a high note. :tongue:

Finally watching The Vampire Diaries from the beginning ...typical high school vamp story, hahahah - just fun fluff to me.
I will do Queen's Gambit , soon.

El Chapo
Narcos
Queen of the South
Drug Lords

Not the most uplifting I know.

The Last Narc is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. Its about the kidnapping and death of DEA agent Kiki Camarena. Its really messed up what happened because it involves a cooperation between both governments and the cartels. It is told by the DEA agent assigned to investigate his death and reveals some shocking things.

I'll have to have a look. I don;t usually go for the cliche of 'haunted house' movies, but since you said it is intriguing, it's probably worth a look.

I thought it was pretty creepy overall..!!

Don't know if it was 'cliche' or not. There were many layers to the story and I like how it put me in the wrong direction many times.

Sounds interesting.. :)

I started watching, and it's perfectly splendid.
