What series are you currently watching?

@Rotron I haven't watched it to the end yet, and so far I like it. Although they usually make strange choices

@Rotron Thank you for your insights. I don't know how much "sport diplomacy" continues today: I went in the summer of 2012, less than one year after Kim Jong Il came to power...perhaps there was a desire to show more open-ness to the West. That has, of course, changed.
And yes, we were warned that we would be be watched all the time. Two of my team-mates were gay (and a couple), and they knew to not show any affection for each other, even in the "privacy" of their twin-bed hotel room.
One of my favourite photos from the trip was from the hotel room: There was a small table between the two beds with a lamp, a single-line telephone that would go only to the reception desk, and a clock radio. I was curious to pull the table away from the wall and see what I found:
The phone, lamp, and clock didn't need that many wires. We assumed that there were microphones built into the table, but we didn't want to test that theory by saying anything illegal.

@eobox91103 Holy evil tentacles! Going to this extent just for control. The imagination of them thinking you were spies is already scary enough. What else could be in that room or even in the bathroom?!
Thanks for sharing. It just shows how much evil would go far enough to have the idea of being in control of things. As far as reality goes though, having too much control will always in a way are bound to collapse. It may take years or generations but nothing permanently stays forever the same.

I cannot believe I downloaded all seasons of this series and am FINALLY watching it! Haha! I'm glad I started as it's a riot.

OMG! This is a great series to watch if you liked the series Breaking Bad. I had no idea this show existed until recently, when it was nominated for best series at the Golden Globes:
-
@djsoapbubble Definitely a great recommendation. Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul definitely belongs on top. I am such a fan of legal-themed shows Western and Korean.
-
@Rotron Yeah, I'm actually filing a lawsuit for injuries. I'm okay now for the most part, but I still have a couple of things that need improvement. Let's just say I now know what will happen to their home or building insurance premiums if I win. But as far as the show itself, it's so good. So, if you like legal shows with a dice of the cartel thrown into the mix, this show is for you.
-
@Rotron Oh, and Western. OMG. I'm also watching the prequels to Yellowstone. Yellowstone is pure soap opera western drama, but I think you'd enjoy these shows as well.
-
@djsoapbubble I'll check it out. I watched a lot of Western when I was a kid. Not much into them but if the story is interesting I'd watch it of course. The last Western / Cowboy themed movie I've seen was "The Power of the Dog". It had the WTF-effect by the end and it's got something gay in it but not that emphasized as you'd expect at those times. I thought I was gonna see Dr. Strange smooch a twinky
but you'll get a glimpse at his weiny.
-
@Rotron Oh, yeah. Power of the Dog was a good movie, and I remember the Oscar nominations it received, but it couldn't compete against CODA.
As far as the prequels and Yellowstone, they are all definitely western dramas, but Yellowstone definitely feels more "soap opera-esque" if that makes any sense, as there is family betrayal, fights, and just good filthy drama. I love it as it centers around the Dutton family, starring Kevin Costner as the family patriarch, as well as the cowboy ranchers, who also go through their trials and tribulations. I love the character of Beth—she's a fuckin' bitch. I love her, although I do find her hysterectomy storyline a little far-fetched. But yeah, that's my girl right there.
The prequels to Yellowstone still revolve around the Dutton family, but it's more history-related, as it makes you feel what people went through during those times as far as socio-economic status, early diseases, famine, immigration, Christian "nationalism" against Native Indians, etc.,
I can't say 1883 or 1923 are as "soap-opera-esque" as compared to Yellowstone, but they are definitely good dramas with a great cast. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are in 1883 and Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford are in 1923.
I'm not trying to persuade you to watch it, lol! But all of these shows are filmed in beautiful locations. I wouldn't want to live there personally, as I'm a city boy, but the locations are absolutely majestic and breathtaking.
-
@djsoapbubble Thank you! I'll gladly check on them. Most of the actors and actresses you've mentioned definitely belong to my list of favourite stars.
-
Velma. I enjoy the adult humor/content integrated with a few familiar characters
-
@Rotron Yeah, I'd suggest heading over to RARBG or maybe 1337x. As you will see, there are a lot of seeders and thirsty leechers, lol! All three of these shows are hugely popular, and I'm sure Paramount is overjoyed.
Soapbubble ... POP!
-
@musclejizz Oh! Velma from Scooby Doo has her own show now?! She does look different from the original and she's lesbian?! Haha Looks funny indeed.
-
@djsoapbubble I will. I go there when there's something I really can't find. They surely should.
-
I saw Velma listed in the torrent list, but it didn't register in my mind that it was Velma from Scooby-Doo Mysteries! Oh, yes! I am downloading this cartoon series! The only animated show I have and watch all the time is Bob's Burgers, so I hope this will be worth watching. God, I sound like a couch potato, lol!
-
@djsoapbubble It was an interesting take on the characters. There seems to be a lot of complaints about certain aspects, but honestly sometimes I just need crass humor like the stuff they seem to have in this series
-
@musclejizz Oh yeah, people were the same when it came to Maleficent. Remember? Because Disney made the decision to retell the story? I think anytime when something gets retold and breaks outside the traditional norm of familiarity, it's always going to receive negative critique. Another example of that would be Disney's new take on the Little Mermaid. Wait. What? Ariel can't possibly be a mermaid of color. No freakin' way. Yeah, that kind of mentality.
