Indirectly asking for recommendations on what to watch.
The Expanse
Also Fringe
Fringe is one I revisit every few years, and if I ever get a tattoo it’ll be a white tulip.
Olivia is a dead fish for a main but fortunately all the other actors and cow carry it
Resident Alien
Seconding this one. I went into it knowing absolutely nothing about the show, except the name of one of the actors, and boy did it pay off.
I’m really anal about spoilers, to the point where I consider even trailers to be spoilers. This has resulted in watching a lot of shitty stuff (dishonorable mention: Valhalla Rising), but now and then it results in pure unadulterated surprise and enjoyment.
Other shows and movies I liked after going into them completely blind:
The Prestige
Chernobyl (although basic history knowledge had already spiled the plot for me)
The 4400 (highly underrated)
Breaking Bad (recommended by a coworker who was scarce on details)
EDIT: Moon
Have you seen Cabin in the Woods? It’s also one that is best seen with no idea what it is. And it is amazing.
You convinced me to stop reading your comment after “and boy did it pay off” and add it to my queue.
I’ll come back and finish reading your comment after I’ve finished the show (so far).
You can safely keep on reading. The rest of my comment is unrelated to the show.
I check reviews before watching stuff so there’s not a lot, but I remember going into Mad Max Fury Road blind and was blown away. The Killing of A Sacred Deer as well, but I was already aware of Yorgos and his style, I just didn’t know if the movie was good or not.
- Mr Robot
- Blue Eye Samurai
- Alice in Borderland
- The Expanse
The Expanse is fantastic, I recommend the book series it’s based off of as well
Just finished Blue Eye Samurai recently, and was utterly blown away. It really is as good as the hype says.
Does it end? I ended my subscription with Netflix due to the repeated cancellation of shows I would get into.
I didn’t like Mr Robot at all, but Alice in Borderland was a nice surprise.
I think Mr Robot is one the best shows ever created in regards to not only the writing, acting, filming, etc. but also with how well it handles the sensitive topics of mental health and the brutalities of our modern society. That being said, I understand why a lot of people don’t like it. Aside from being depressing and fucked up as hell a lot of the time, it kinda has to be watched multiple times to be truly appreciated. Every episode is packed full tiny details and clues as to what is really going on that are not meant to noticed on the first watch but give you an entirely different story the second time around. If you ever want to try it again maybe go into it with mindset that what you see right then is not necessarily the entire story, and that’s kinda the point. Your supposed to be confused, frustrated, and uncomfortable because that is what the characters are feeling.
But yeah, Allice in Borderland was a lovely surprise.
Dungeons and dragons.
Of course you’re referring to the masterpiece adaptation starring Jeremy Irons and Marlon Wayans, right?
