Recommended TV shows and series
Re: Recommended TV shows and series
I love the Scandinavian stuff on Netflix, there are some good series dubbed into English.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

I dig the Scandi vibe.
This was a fun watch.

Game of Thrones didn't miss an episode - overall happy with it.Doc67 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 2:13 pmWhat is worse is when you start a series thinking it is completed. I did that with Game of Thrones only to find that after bingeing 7 seasons I realised there was an eighth and it was not released yet.Big Daikon wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 2:05 pmHappened to me with Walking Dead and Vikings. Gave up on both. Sucks.
Walking Dead I lost interest in many seasons ago.
Vikings - It started really strong, in the middle it hit a valley with a particularly weak season or two focusing on Ivar leading the town like a madman. For that period every episode seemed to be making the same point and was repetitive, just making more episodes to make them ($). Thankfully I found the ending of Vikings recovered from those low seasons, not to the strength of the first 2 seasons but satisfying.

I watch these Korean and other non-English shows (The rain) and they are good enough to keep me watching. I could do with less of the relationship stuff that is geared for the teen/twilight crowd but overall has enough action to keep it enjoyable for me.

Re: Recommended TV shows and series
I just watched a disturbing documentary on Netflix called "Three perfect strangers" Basically an experiment was done in the USA all through the 60s and 70s by separating identical twins and triplets putting them up for adoption and then studying them. They chose the children of people who had mental health problems and carefully chose the family's they put the kids with. The kids were filmed and questioned all through their lives nobody except the doctors knew about it. All the results from this experiment are in a vault and can not be seen until 2066

I’m five episodes into Snowfall. I hadn’t heard about it until last week but there five seasons. It might be of interest if Queen of the South didn’t survive with you.Doc67 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 1:49 pmI hate that. You give hours of your life, 2 or 3 seasons into a series and it just gets worse, but you are committed. I did that with Animal Kingdom but I just gave up, it became too boring and implausible.
I'll give Queen of the South 1 series and unless it thrills I will bail out.
It’s about the development of the crack epidemic in LA in the 80s
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Mayans is back as well, ( not as good as "sons of Anarchy" but watchable"

Re: Recommended TV shows and series
Trial 4 - available on Netflix.
This is an 8 part documentary about a 19 year old black kid in Boston convicted in 1994 for murder of a Boston police officer and sentenced to life without parole (on the 3rd attempt after 2 previous mistrials). He was released 22 years later in 2015 when he was granted a new trial (after 2 previous attempts!)
This is a story of serious police corruption slowly being exposed, with each new disclosure more egregious than the last, and the build up to his 4th murder trial.
The only downside is you have to suffer very thick Boston accents throughout, and now I get the joke about it in "Ted".
