So since I did the guy movies thing. I wanted to see if I could pick up some recommendations on binging a few series online. This is the list of stuff I binged over the last year. I hope I didn't do this already. Here is my list. What's yours?!?!
1. Castlevania
Just a freaking masterpiece. The voice actor for Dracula is outstanding. Great saga, interesting episodes, and fantastic animation.
2. Wandavision
Another masterpiece. Kevin Feige's ability to take the MCU into different genres to explore complex surprisingly human stories is amazing.
3. Watchmen
All I can is "wow"! I was such a fan of the comic and the movie. This series surpasses all. For anyone interested in African-American history, the masterful way the writers/director tie this story together is beyond compare.
4. Westworld
I can't get over how they took this concept in a totally different direction. The first season is beyond compelling and sets the stage for a grand saga that is really, really good. Evan Rachel Wood's performance is outstanding, then she hands it off to Tessa Thompson in Season 3.
5. Russian Doll
I have loved Natasha Lyonne for a while now. Russian Doll was a vehicle where you can see all of her talents. The series is an oddball saga where she can be funny, dramatic, witty, etc. It is a good show. And the first season was really fun. Thoroughly weird!
6. Travelers
Surprisingly good. This took me by surprise. The concept is that you can send back someone's consciousness to the past to inhabit the bodies of folks just before they die. And an organization in the future is doing what it can to change the past to ensure the survival of the human race. It was really interesting.
7. The Boys
Haha! Pure fun. Here is the premise. What if Superman was a homicidal maniac?!?!
8. The Good Place
Probably my favorite comedy over the last few years. It is a saga, of course. Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, and William Harper Jackson are hilarious. The writing is so awesome.
9. This Is Us
Here is a series, I did not think I would like. But it is wonderfully written. It was funny, compelling and very different from what I thought it was going to be.
10. Dr. Who
'I had to add this one. The episodes with actors like Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, and David Tennant are just too good. Some brilliant writing, great acting and awesome stories. And one of the best incarnations of the Master ever with Ms. Michelle Gomez.
11. Humans
I didn't think I would like this series. But it grew on me. It hits its stride in Season 2. And culminates in a surprising ending. This was very well done.
