If I were stuck in an island for 2 weeks and ony had two shows to watch both of these would be it.
Please watch those shows and get back to me. I have a simple movie tv blog where i put all my favorites so check out the cast trailer and short review. I don't put whatever movie or tv shows that I found terrible to make sifting thru everything out there easier. Of course there's lots I haven't watched yet but I'll be constantly updating it.
Killing Eve - Now this crime-thriller drama surprised me a lot. Sarah Oh is one of those actors who just turns any role into her own, tactless, unintentionally funny persona. Go try it out. https://foundaz.com/2018/05/killing-eve-tv-series/
watching soon coz i heard good things bout them:
Handmaid's Tale
The Crown
Money Heist
Alienist

I thought Barry is just gonna be a cool comedy, it turned out sick
If you guys haven't seen Handmaiden's Tale - just do it now. This show is amazing... the director is perfect, the way how it is shot is perfect, the effects, the actors, the script (even though season 1 isn't going by the book and I really hate when people do that as they usually fail - this one I'd say is much better). It's just the most brutal drama I've ever seen
Handmaiden's Tail and Westworld best two shows out there right now.

I thought Cobra Kai was very entertaining. :D
They basically made a series about the karate kids-kids 34 years after, with the same actors involved. What I like the most about it is how they managed to modernize 80s cheesiness, like, they brought characters from 80s movies, placed them in a modern context, and made their surroundings relate to them like if it actually is 2018. It's not really brilliant, but light hearted and fun, and just 10 episodes of ~25 minutes each.
It's a youtube production also; for the first episode.
lol POKER

It's indeed a dystopian story, but SJW? Nope, there is diversity of topics discussed including ones the SJW do, but not the way they do it. It's just pure, brutal and seems extremely real.
Also why "another dystopian story" ? This is not the hunger games and its series. Basically, The handmaiden's tale's novel is put up there with "1984" and "A Brave New World", except the series surpasses the book a lot.
Another good series I got recommended is
But haven't had the tiem to check it out, Hugo Weaving & Benedict Cumherewat are in.

Yeah that patrick melrose thing looks interesting. Since you recommended a handmaid's tale i might finally give it a try. You've been on point with a lot of your recos ive noticed, I got to watch barry because you posted it here and thanks for that. Have you tried watching Killing Eve? It's really good and surprised me a lot.

Haven't read all the thread but Ozark is really good.

^^ Yup Ozark Season 2 coming this year! I'm eagerly anticipating a couple shows, Castle Rock is one!
Watched Peaky Blinders and turned out really good, cillian murphy is great and tom hardy just brought it to another level. 4 seasons but you gotta power through the first couple character arcs before stuff gets really good. Watching Penny Dreadful now. I'm allergic to period shows so took me years to watch these haha

Succession - great HBO drama about internal family squabbles for the empire's control
https://foundaz.com/2018/06/05/succession-2018/ - my new and improved blog! :D Thats where I've put all the movies I've loved from as far back as 2000-2018. I also put coming movie trailers in there and its my hobby/passion project. It's never going to be done as there are tons of stuff to put in there but i do very short reviews on each hopefully sometime in the future.

wow its not a SJW series? I assumed it was I will give it a try
It explores the subjugation of women in a patriarchal society... but Atwood is no SJW, she's a very serious thinker. She is an old school leftist, she even finds the label "feminist" problematic and has received flack for her critical view of the MeToo movement.
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount

lmao, hold your horses there or im calling the internet police
anyway, you can thank me later, plus a good time to start as the season is about to end
If you've seen the new movie with Jennifer Lawrence (red sparrow? red something?) , that one is just as SJW as the Handmaiden's tale, except the Handmaiden's Tale environment is dystopian so its fucked up on a whole other level
edit:
nevermind this season is longer than S1 so it actually runs till mid July so thats good I guess

Watched the first couple episodes. Not HBO or AMC quality but was really interesting. It's about Jack Parsons, father of american rocketry and disciple of Aleister Crowley, another strange and infamous American figure who is like the MJ of occultists and heretics to this day.
