MY 2 FAVORITE GENRES ARE COMEDY AND SCI-FI, BUT I HATE MOST COMEDIES AND SCI FI (theyre rarely done well )
heres some recommendations. not necessarily my favorites, but maybe ones you havent seen.
i will do a comedy one or another sci-fi one in a few days if people like.
==========================================================================
"THE OUTSIDER" (HBO MAX)
- 10 episode miniseries from Stephen King
- great acting and a resolved end,
- its a slow burn/suspense
- 50% supernatural 50% crime thriller
QUITE GOOD = 7.5/8 outta 10.
WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE- 11.22.63
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"THE EXPANSE" (AMAZON PRIME- 5 seasons)
- still runnning
- the first few episodes were tough sledding for me and i wasnt a fan
- its a film noir detective story in space (if you want rubber headed aliens, youll be disappointed)
- its become one of my favorite shows, one of the best running sci-fi show off the top of my head
8.5/10= IF YOUVE BEEN AVOIDING IT, YER ONLY HURTING YOU
WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE= "ASCENSION"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"LOVECRAFT COUNTRY" (HBO MAX- 1 season)
- magic, monsters and white guilt
- supernatural story about HP Lovecraft fiction themes
- some episodes are much better than others
- it bothered me to see "Omar" from "The Wire in such an unlikable role.
- if you like movie monsters, this has some cool ones.
6.5/10= DECENT, BUT NOT MUCH MORE
WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE= LIKE IF 2019 WATCHMEN HAD A BABY W WAYWARD PINES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"LEGION" (HULU- 3 Seasons)
- canceled but concluded
- superhero show about a Marvel mutant youve never heard of
- if you liked the Dream Sequence in The Big LeBowski, youll dig the creativity.
- some episodes drag, some are amazing.
- dude from "The Guest" is more than just a bootleg Paul Walker- he can act.
7.5/10= A WEIRD BUT WORTHWHILE SHOW
WATCH IF YOU LIKE= Tom Pettys "Wont Back Down" video
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DOOM PATROL" (HBO MAX 2 SEASONS)
- still running, Season 3 confirmed. Ive only seen Season 1
- think "The Boys", with a less attractive cast. (if you like The Boys raunchy humor, def consider checking this out).
- DC Comics superhero misfit team
- raunchy, tacky and obnoxious, but after a few episodes i found myself invested.
- starring Jeremy Irons and Encino man.
7.0/10= WILL UPDATE AFTER I WATCH SEASON 2.
WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE= "THE BOYS"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 MONKEYS (HULU- 4 SEASONS)
- a reimagining of the classic film starring the stunt double from Joe Dirt.
- i avoided this forever, but was shocked how good the show was.
8.75/10= BETTER THAN THE EXPANSE. BARELY.
WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE= "CONTINUUM" (the 4 season Canadian show)
