Very very good list. I’m confused why they reversed the ordering? (BoB is clearly #1, not 10)

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago

Agree, must have been a typing error on their part

The Watchmen movie is a flawed masterpiece and a cult classic, despite Alan Moore (the original comic creator) disavowing it. It's one of those movies where I usually would say there's no need for a sequel, but the TV series which is set after the events of the film-

Not to be too much of an "ummm actually" guy, but the Watchmen series takes place after the original graphic novel. The movie's ending is considered not canon which confused a lot of people (including the author here).

I am one of the few comic book adaptation lovers that didn't care for Watchmen the movie. Its biggest flaw was the desperate need for proper editing, like most of Snyder's films. It is like the equivalent of extended word salad, only on film. And didn't they release an extended version also? Yikes.

Alan Moore disavowed it? Must be a day that ends in 'y'. To be fair, it is a polarizing movie but also Alan Moore comes across as the kind of guy that would yell at Labrador puppies and kittens to get off his lawn. I bet he's not fond of this (great) miniseries either.

I've watched some of these. Currently almost done with WandaVision and looking forward to getting to Agatha All Along. Thanks for the future watch list!

All seasons of True Detective are good, and loved the Queen's Gambit.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I really couldn't get into true detective. Just... couldn't

[–] Rodneyck@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh really? All the seasons are different, btw, different plot, different actors for the most part. They kind of stand as their own.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 days ago

Yep just wasn't my cup of tea

[–] vane@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Some other not from this list:

  • consultant
  • zero zero zero
  • homecoming ( each season is separate story )
  • little fires everywhere
  • the dropout
  • pam & tommy
  • devs
  • vinyl
  • aquarius
  • fargo (each season is separate story)
  • pacific

I loved Pam and Tommy! I found out afterwards she didn't approve of the show being made so I felt guilty. But damn it was a good show.

I like the pacific too, I prefer Masters of the Air though. Have you seen that one?

[–] vane@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Masters of the Air

I tried, not my type of show. I liked Prime Target and Sugar from apple tv, those were nice for me.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 4 days ago

I respect that, also covid rewrites badly damaged the last few episodes. The first few are so amazing for me that I love it though

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 3 points 4 days ago

I have seen almost all of these, and this is a very good list
