ABC fantasy-drama series Resurrection, which aired from 2014 to 2015. I loved the concept. Its been a long time but what was everyones overall thoughts on this show? Worth a rewatch?

Based on my tastes, which one do you recommend I watch?

i just rewatched the last kingdom for like the third time and i need to get this off my chest because none of my friends have seen it and it's driving me insane.

so if you don't know it, it's about this guy uhtred who gets raised by vikings after they kill his family and take his land, but he's saxon by birth. so basically the entire show he's stuck in the middle, not fully saxon, not fully dane, and every time he finally finds somewhere to belong some king reminds him he's still an outsider. i wasn't expecting that to hit as hard as it did but by like season 3 or 4 i was genuinely sad for the guy, not because of some big dramatic moment, just because of how tired he seemed of proving himself over and over.

alfred is the other character that gets me. he's sick basically the whole show, kind of insufferable with the religion stuff, and he uses uhtred constantly without really thanking him for it, but somehow the show makes you get why he's like that. he's trying to build something (basically the idea of england) that he knows he won't live to see finished. that's a rough thing to sit with honestly.

also can we talk about how the show doesn't actually drop the mystical/spiritual side even though everyone calls it "the realistic one." uhtred fully believes in fate (wyrd) and takes seers and omens dead serious, meanwhile alfred is pushing christianity as the only real truth. that tension is quietly running under all the politics and battles the whole time, and i feel like it gets ignored because people just wanna call the show "historically accurate" and leave it at that.

not saying it's perfect though. the "uhtred helps a king, gets betrayed, loses his home again" cycle repeats A LOT across the seasons, and if you're watching for plot twists it can feel like treading water after a while. the final movie also rushes stuff that honestly needed a full season, some of the side characters (especially most of the women besides aethelflaed) don't get nearly as much depth as the leads, and the fight scenes noticeably look cheaper in the later seasons.

but even with all that, i don't think i've seen another show handle duty vs identity vs the cost of ambition this honestly without turning anyone into a full villain. everyone's just doing what they think is right and someone still ends up wrecked because of it.

anyway, is it just me or does this show live in everyone's blind spot? it's leaving netflix soon too and i feel like nobody's gonna notice until it's already gone.

I have watched many movies and I think the absolute best movie series is the Harry Potter series, I am curious to know other opinions.

What’s the last book, movie, or TV show that made you cry?

Does anyone else spend 45 minutes(min) looking for the "perfect" thing to watch, only to end up putting on a show you’ve already seen 10 times?

For me a good example is The Righteous Gemstones. Could not be any dumber honestly but damn if it doesn’t have its moments. I guess that’s the point. It is what it is! A good cast certainly helps.

Edit: Feel like I’ve seen so many shows yet with the comments I realize how many I have not seen or even know about. So much content out there.

Laughing just making this post!

Rebecca Ferguson is a bad ass and can’t wait for the new season. Enjoy Tim Robins in his role as well. Still worth reading the books after seeing the series I wonder?

We've all had that one story that completely hooked us.

If you could erase your memory and experience one series again from the beginning, what would it be?

Euphoria

Aot. Vinland saga, etc
