Tv

No spoilers please.. i'm waiting to have a whole day so I can binge watch it.

OK.  I won't mention anything about the crossover episode where Dr. Who pops in and saves the planet from Daleks pretending to be cowboys.

Taboo (2017)



Starring Tom Hardy's tattoos and possibly his willy as well. 

Mad Shelia - 疯狂希莉娅 - (2016)



Production values: nearly none
Low Speed Action: lots

A mad max ripoff, yes, but a tv show, not a movie, with life after the apocalypse trading cell phones and virgins.

Because in China, even the apocalypse won't interfere with your cell phone signal.

A remarkable show for 2008-9. In all the ways Terminator Genisys was a shitshow, Terminator: The Sarah Chronnor Conicals (sic) was some very fine storytelling. They adeptly handled recalled events, wove compelling multi-episode arcs, and left no thread behind. Characterizations were brilliant. (We don't mention the Jessie.) Everything was used. Cancelled possibly because nearly every character in the show had PTSD to one degree or another and the stories reflected that impressively. If this show were being made now and they could do a mean ten episode run instead of freaking 22, it'd be must-see tv. Goddamn you, Fox. Goddamn you to hell.

I'm giving some consideration to this. Trouble with sentient robot stories, Westworld included, is... who cares? So they might be people--so what? Any such show only becomes interesting if the robots might well be something other than human. If their sentience is alien to our own but is still sentience, and the story hones in on that, then I'm there. One episode in I don't know yet what the Humans tv show wants to do with that, but I do know the actual humans in the show are tiresome. We'll see.

Originally, that was a Swedish series called real humans.  I saw Season 1 and liked it (other than the microscopic subtitles - where can I get opera glasses).  Haven't seen the US version yet.

Took a look at Äkta människor aka Real Humans. Does it continue so very very pastel? Because for TV I can read I have been seduced by Midnattssol aka Midnight Sun. It starts with a man tied to the rotors of a helicopter.

The Get Down



has gotten back up, and will shortly be down down load.

Meanwhile...

In the Name of The People



Sans subtitles.

Where does one acquire English language subs for Chinese movies and tv these days?

Some competition for Preacher
