Bonus points for Little Dorrit. I have it on DVD as well. What did you think of Bleak House by the same screenwriter?

Bleak House is ok, but I found it a bit depressing. It seems to be filmed with a dark filter on the lens.

Quote from: Heinrich on May 23, 2024, 09:57:42 AMI hear Call Saul is better than Bad.

My parents wouldn't shut up about it. Only reason I haven't watched it yet is I need to carve out the time because once I get hooked, I know I won't be able to stop - like Breaking Bad or wine.

Quote from: Heinrich on May 23, 2024, 09:57:42 AMHell on Wheels is genius level scripting.

It's so good. I also love the whole old school Wild West aesthetic of it.

Consider: justly aggrieved Confederate officer, seeking vengeance, gets caught, jailed, guarded by ex slaves. Fast forward: said officer runs whole railroad operation, has ex slave guard as goon muscleman, drinks with President Grant. Not to mention the sinister sub plots.

BB, Mad Men, Sopranos, GoT except final season.

Game of thrones and Catholicism aren't compatible. Change my mind.

Never watched full episodes. Only clips. Same as sopranos.

Fair. It's what I've done with sopranos and SOA.

I've been picky with shows and media, blasphemy and sexual content just turn me off. The plots are also boring. Maybe I'm just too busy these days and can't be bothered. The more I learn about the satanic nature of Hollywood, the less I'm willing to engage in their media.

These are from when I was a kid:
The Beverly Hillbillies (still hilarious)
Green Acres (hated it as a kid; I just roar laughing at it when I watch the episodes now)
Get Smart
Star Treck (original; did not watch the newer versions)
Latte On:
Police Story
Faulty Towers
Can't think of any others.

Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit."

Lol, my husband is literally watching Green Acres right now, it's relatable I guess to us.

Too much sexual content in Mad Men, but I watched the whole series and it's almost too well made of a show.  I can't bring myself to watch it again.  It's too depressing watching the gradual moral decline of Draper

I only noticed the "little messages" in the Andy Griffith Show when I was a kid; but the situation commedies like "All in the Family" and "Three's Company" were too blatant to miss.

Little messages in the Griffith show? I've watched all the first six seasons more times than I could count growing up, and still to this day. I can't recall any.

Show went downhill after Barney Fife left it.
