Nout Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Internationaly there are great series coming from Europe, South America and the rest of the world. The FB page Walter Presents is one of the best platforms that references TV shows and movies but most of them are subtitled/closed captions. I am looking for recommendations for English Language series, drama, crime, comedy, political...whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WP has hundreds if not thousands of suggested viewing subjects. I doubt you have seen 1% of them. BN has been widely panned by critics and viewers alike irrespective of what WP contributors think. I am glad you enjoyed BN...at least somebody did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for adult series, political dramas, crime thrillers , comedies using English language because although I love the Scandi series and Spanish language series I am not watching stuff with closed captions/ sub titles due to an eye/ vision problem.

nausea Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Anything free, so it's mostly You Tube for me. I must say, having neglected most of this stuff when I was working, being a Johnny-come-lately has its advantages, like, I keep discovering these hidden gems. My tastes are eclectic, and no way am I a trekky, but just as an example, Star Trek Continues took me back a few years, loved the way they kept the original format, even down to the advertising breaks. Whoever owns the franchise now could learn a lesson or two from the way this fan based consortium handled the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nout Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I recently asked for recommendations for new shows to watch. I am looking forward to suggestions but I suspect the Golden age has gone and won't be repeated. Some stuff from the past that bears a second or repeat viewing is ; The Wire. This kind of series will NEVER be made again due to political correctness. The Sopranos is also worth a second view. Better call Saul...also worth another view. Breaking Bad also worth a second viewing. But now I have watched these twice I wait with baited breath for new series that are as compelling.

However, it has been my experience that when people have to explain they are making a joke....then usually the joke is not very funny. I made a serious request. Kindly do me the courtesy of responding appropriately otherwise you are just trolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 " Devils " ( Diavoli ) Thriller in the financial world , a lot of conspiracy theories. The gross of the actors are Italian, except Patrick Dempsey, and thus English synchronized. Doesn't come really good over. I watched it with subtitles, and no sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well in these 'interesting' times might I suggest the remake of the Stephen King novel 'The Stand' I guess it puts covid into perspective! Available in the US on CBS All Access, but I'm sure it's also available in all those usual suspect places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two that are definitely worth a watch are Get Shorty and Barry. Then of course there is Homeland and Billions, also Deadwood. Also a great mini series The Night Of. Then there's a very good new series, Your Honor. They should keep you going for a while. Edited December 31, 2020 by giddyup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
