Nightshade Part 1 & Nightshade: Part 2
Quote by MollyDoll
I watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2 in two days. I'm pretty sure I did the same with the first season too. If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend it.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Nightshade Part 1 & Nightshade: Part 2
Quote by MadMartigan
Finally dug into The Expanse. Easily the best SciFi show anywhere right now. About as hyper-realistic as you can get with space warfare. Takes a huge dump on StarWars. Acting gets better. Writing gets better. Good Shit.

Girl, you are right! I'm so glad it's back on. Love the two new detectives
Quote by AmeliaLeigh
Supposedly a link between this Purcell case on the show and the case of the West Memphis Three so this could be extremely intriguing for sure. I love the detectives too!! And of course Miss Amelia ? who happens to be a teacher

I recently fell in love with VIKINGS show and have caught up to recent season.
Now I just wait impatiently for Wednesday nights and go out to dinner w/ Vladyslav because I can't be bothered to sit through commercials so we record it.

I think Les Miserables is one of the best novels ever written. The musicals are fine but they don't really capture the essence of the book. There was a movie in 1998 starring Liam Neeson and Claire Danes that was acceptable, but it was hard for all the nuances of such a massive novel to be crammed into a 90 minute film.
This new mini series made by BBC is great. Great acting. Good production value.
The only negative thing I can say is that for some reason they have cast actors of different races in various roles. Now I'm all about diversity, but this is ridiculous. They made Javert a black guy. Ok. After reading a bunch of racist comments and reviews I actually did a little research to see if it was actually possible to have a black police inspector in early 19th century France. The chances are unlikely.
As a creative person I prefer adherence to the source material.
As a history buff I prefer historical accuracy.
The show then casts Thernardier as a Pakistani man. His wife is white, and their daughter is inexplicably black.
We live in a world where Sarah Paulson wrote using her left hand when she played Marcia Clark in the OJ show. That is attention to detail goes above and beyond. That's something that nobody in the world even noticed or cared about.
Race bending when used as artistic license is fine, such as Hamilton or the various incarnations of various Shakespeare plays. But this isn't a "re-imagining" or of Les Miserables. It doesn't ruin the show for me... I still think it's the best representation of Les Mis that I have seen. And if it does ruin the entire show for you, then you probably have some deeper issues you should attend to.
As a final critique, BBC... you need to hire some new art directors. Your promotional posters are absolutely terrible. Every promotional poster you have is just a picture of the cast standing and staring at the camera like a group of 8 year olds on picture day. It looks cheap and uninspired.

I favor mirroring historical accuracy as much as possible in cinema/TV also. But truly that usually gets butchered in script writing anyhow.
And l've yet to see Jesus Christ and his disciples portrayed by actors that look like actual Jewish men that inhabited Judea 2000 years ago. They're always portrayed by Ango-Saxon/Celtic/Nordic looking actors. Yes, actors that'd work great in a Beowulf drama, but not ancient Judea.
But then again, Charlton Heston didn't look like Moses or El Cid, did he? But he still looked cool in that chariot scene.
Need l nention Burt Lancaster as Jim Thorpe? Ugh!

Ricky Gervais just came out with a new series on Netflix. The writing is so good. Extremely funny with a very dark edge. Very British humor which I love.

I binged the whole thing last weekend. Superb!
He's writing a second series to it apparently.
I'm not sure if that's going to work as well, as it kind of came to a natural conclusion. There's a lot of strong characters, so I think he'll be able to pull it off.
