Tv shows that try to explain the mentality of a serial killer are fascinating. Prodigal Son seems it is like that, I will take a look.

On series 3 so no spoilers please! Little annoyed that there's no LGBT+ arcs, well there was one but it was heavily stereotyped, very cringe 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too!, I was more into Marvel but DC is often getting my attention. Smallville is a classic. I vaguely remember it was more about the awkward aspects of being Superman, is it like that?

TinyLove_CJ Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Another series I'm watching at the moment is Killing Eve (I'm watching the latest series). At the start of series 1 I didn't think I'd like it but now I'm totally hooked. I know Villanelle is a murderer but a tiny part of me can't help but root for her sometimes! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I finished watching Smallville! It's not a bad series but from series 9 it just got a little chaotic 😅 Now watching Superman and Lois! (I'm sensing a theme here... ) Really loving the series so far, it's very engaging and leaves me wanting to always know what happens next! I've also just started The Originals and already I have so many questions, hoping everything will be explained as I watch more of it. Unlike me, my Mum doesn't really like horror/gore but I think this series is a good introduction to darker stories and so far she likes it! (Or I should say she rather likes Daniel Gillies who plays Elijah ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that didn't last long 🙃 6 episodes in and Mum can't look at the screen during any vampire killing. I'm still loving The Originals and will continue to watch it on my laptop instead 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Convinced my Mum to continue watching The Originals with me, we're now into series 3 and the tables have turned. Now my Mum genuinely does like the show and wants to watch it whenever we have a spare hour, whereas I now find it rather boring 🙃 Problem is I'm also far too invested in the show to stop watching now... Ah well only 39 more episodes to go! 😅 We've also been watching Arrow on and off for the past couple of years. (No spoilers please I've not finished the whole thing yet!) Just finished series 6. Absolutely pointless series, didn't add anything to the story whatsoever! Could have just missed that one out and gone straight to series 7! Which I'll hopefully be doing soon!

TinyLove_CJ Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Been a while since anyone used this thread! (myself included 😅) Just coming back to it to say I did get round to watching The Vampire Diaries and Legacies. TVD = Brilliant, both with the story writing, various arcs and acting. Would watch again 10/10! Legacies = WTF?! Absolutely pointless spin off, would not watch again or recommend to anyone (unless you want to learn how not to write a TV script). Might as well be called the 'Hope and Malivore Show'. Characters are awful and not one is likeable. Really creepy/disturbing as to how Hope destroys Malivore too -100/10 Anyway... moving on to something a lot more wholesome I watched lately and that is 'Love, Victor'. It's so perfect and lovely and heartwarming. There's drama and teen romance and people just accepting each other for who they are. I found it quite a relateable show and I love how the ending came full circle for the main character Victor. It's short with only 3 seasons but it works and I feel like it's something everyone should watch at least once! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit more realistic and mature than say Heartstopper or even Love, Simon which it's based on of course. 4 hours ago, TheOneAndOnlyLeo said: I'm watching Ted Lasso, and, as someone who grew up in the Midwest, all the midwesternisms make me very happy!

QueenBigFat Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Just finished Little Bird (the Canadian series). beautifully acted and directed. Heartbreaking and moving.Entirely manifested by Canadian aboriginal professionals and intensively researched so as to present everything accurately and sensitively. Really recommend.

I love Ghosts! Do you know that there's an American version, too? It's hilarious, surprisingly -- often the US versions lose something in the translation. I can't believe it's entering its 3rd season here -- it's the kind of thing that doesn't usually fly on US TV. I just watched "All of Us Strangers" (on Hulu) last night -- Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. Loved it so much, and was outright sobbing in several places. I've loved Andrew Scott since he was Moriarty on Sherlock - so glad he's getting so much attention for this film now. Had never seen Paul Mescal in anything and couldn't figure out why he was rated so highly by so many - I get it now. Really a great film, well-written, beautifully acted, with a great ending. More than what I expected. And I rewatched "All About Eve" with Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. There aren't too many lines that are delivered more perfectly than Bette Davis's, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" Yes, the film is from 1950 but it still holds up. Definitely watch it if you can. On the TV series side, I'm in the middle of "Masters of the Air" (Apple+) -- mostly because my husband is into anything relating to WWII, but also because it's meant to be good. It's OK, but it's no "Band of Brothers". I'm not really into war movies or series, but that was extremely well done. I finished the latest "True Detective" series, "Night Country" with Jodie Foster (HBO MAX), a few weeks ago. Highly recommend! Also recently watched "Criminal Record" (Apple+) with Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo -- very good crime drama, if you like that sort of thing. I loved her in a series in the US a few years back, The Good Wife, so I was happy to see her back on the screen, plus she wrote this series, so pretty impressive. And I finally saw "Saltburn" (Netflix) the other night - trying to catch up on Oscar nominees before this weekend! What a film. Loved parts of it, other parts left me wondering, WHY? Just why? But it was great to see Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan. Yeah, I've been watching a lot of TV lately -- not sure why. Too many late nights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
