What TV series are you watching at moment?

Escape at Dannemora is excellent

i gotta say, The Terror was one of the best things in TV for years imho iirc afaik... i'm not much of a period piece guy but damn that was some haunting hypnotic horror...

I was murdered. American garbage half hour "doc" about an IRL murder, partially dramatised as a whodunnit and narrated by the murder victim from beyond the grave. Fucking shit.

Late to the Walking Dead party but I'm quite enjoying it after avoiding it this whole time cause I thought it would be too childish. Never really found the fascination with zombies.

Same here. Just watched all 9 seasons. I feel part of the family

Not ashamed to admit it's a great show. 

Just well acted and directed, doesn't matter the antagonist. A good directed show. Never was a Zombie person either, but I do like apocalypse stuff, plague stuff, so there are analogies.

So many British actors nailing those accents too.

I go through a slight depression. Like a day after I finish a marathon session. Like now what am I gonna do?

how hadn't I heard of this? not big on period things but I could see it being good for sure. just 1 season so far, right?

only ever one season. its good

Britannia on prime is pretty good. Fascinating time period. We don't have much written documents about the Gauls and the Celts. Tacitus, Caesar's writings, Druids didn't document anything.  So there is plenty of Artistic license. But I enjoyed the first season.

John Lynch, seen him in other stuff, He always looks like he's either at a nervous break down, just took a swig of whiskey or is just plain sad and nervous. In everything Ive seen him in. 

Anyway, Adam Nagaitis steals the show. Really amazing presence. 

I honestly don't know where they can go from where they left off.

it offered a lot, but with the head druid hunched over like an emaciated Colonel Kurtz combined with the Roman duo (the one of The Bill infamy) doing in the druid's drug stash, as an archaeologist had to bail. There are flourishes, eg: the outcast's form of divination is well done & the titles draw you in, but it was too much too much maaaaan. If you enjoy a good read, this is mint and fuck off Lopez:

the Roman coliseum in Caerleon featured in one of those ultimate teenage microdot dose-fail nightmares, where the last however many hours were spent in the remains of Arthur Machen's ghost city populated entirely by demons. Proper lush.

Just started watching the Expanse as its appeared on Amazon prime. 3 episodes into s1 and I'm not totally convinced yet

Ill have to get that. Thanks

Im only anal about historical period tv if I know what is actually documented. Hate when they deviate from that. Im constantly wondering. Would there hair be that well groomed? Would they be that tall?

But I can suspend disbelief. Im only anal about music. Tv and film Ill give a chance as long as it's directed and acted well. 

Though the ancient Celts were probably pretty hardy as they were hunter gatherers. No feudal system where you had do get permission to hunt on the kings land.  

this has- so far been- pretty damn intriguing. especially if you know some of the history surrounding the black dahlia. 

chris pine is having the time of his life playing this role

Neolithic (farming, ceramics, deposition & monuments) arrived in north-western Europe 4000BC + entirely feudal. Reason I watched Britannia was some of the main sources for the utter strangeness of European pre-history were the impressions it made in Roman historical sources - biographies, shrines, art, epigraphs & monuments. So despite bias factors, eg: civilised vs barbarian, the Roman record in Britain is one way to tease out traces of pagan traditions that the Romans sought to eradicate. They were still pretty spooked about invading, Caesar's 2 failed incursions were bad juju, the legionary mutiny scene during the tv intro is pretty accurate

If yer "into it" would recommended these, the first for the deeper chronology of practices (40,000BC onward), the 2nd for more general Neolithic to Iron Age contexts & traditions, then Sacred Britannia for the finale:

Get stuck in (also avoids clear Brexit analogies in tv series), besides:

I have to admit, I started to watch season 4 a couple of years ago and had to quit after maybe 3 episodes. It wasn't happening.

Am a huge fan but in hindsight they should have left it be. None of the Netflix stuff has been good at all.

did u guys tried watching s04 alternate version? the director re-edited it and instead of, different episodes focusing on a single character, it follows a chronologically order...

i felt the same in s04 and something that helped a lot was re-watch all the first 3 seasons in a binge and then go straight to s04 edited chronologically...

ad season 3 was shit and should have never been made. it's only good for like 1.5 seasons.

George Michael looks weird now

10 years don't forgive... :^)

Had the same feeling about ad. It was weird seeing him drive a google street view car like it was some product placement

Love, Death + Robots. 

=D

I've just finished the first 'episode' - have high hopes for the other 17. 

I'll probably be lost in these various worlds for the rest of the night. 

Wooo!!!
