A bit about tv series
that I recently watched but didn't write/talk about
Aquarius: I think I already mentioned about this crime drama series in some of my archives, but it's worth a second mention. Set in the late 60's, revolving around Manson family and other incidents that formed the backdrop of that time. It's a good watch.
Stranger things: You might start as a skeptical when you first watch this, but by the third episode you'll be a complete convert. It envelopes the whole 80's vibe so well, paying homage to every sci-fi horror, thriller movie of that time, it immediately pulls you in. The tint, the vibe, dialogues, settings and the music works so well. Its music deserves another mention, because they've nailed the 80's synth so honestly, and oh man I LOVE THE CASTING of that show. It's a must watch
11.22.63. : based on Stephen King's book of the same name, it's produced by King as well, which sort of nudged me to watch it. It was nice, very Stephen King, and wore that whole American culture to it like some of King's book do, that sometimes bounce off me, cuz often times I find these topics absolutely culturally irrelevant. I kind of found this a bit of both meh and gripping at times, but that's only because the central plot or reason/topic of this entire series was not something I could relate to. It's a so-so watch.
The Night Of: An HBO series that's based on 'Criminal Justice' which was pretty good when it came out. It's a crime drama series and engrossing. Each episode is an hour long, and not necessarily a binge watch material. It's gripping and weaves a good image of the American justice system, race prejudices and how shit can hit the fan that one day in your life when you thought nothing would go wrong. It's a good watch.

Series that I'm currently watching
Wayward pines: It started off with that blue tint, everything's mysterious, 'man lost in a town can't get out of there' kind of predictable vibe, and it didn't help matters much when the casting showed that M Night Shyamalan is behind this tv series. I didn't pay much attention, but again, a couple episodes in and it picked up, and picked up so strangely creepily that now I'm kinda hooked. Also I realized that Matt Dillon looks like a cross between a zombie and Frankenstein's monster. (I'm not kidding). This is definitely binge watch material. It's a fantastic watch.
Inside No 9: A British Tv series that's a new story each episode. What can I say, it's uniquely creepy and exceptionally awesome. Each episode is a mish-mash of horror comedy and it's darker than pits of nights. Oh man its funny and it's dark. Brits know a thing or two about dark comedy with that bone dry humour, something I love and adore. Episodes are half an hour each, engrossing, crazy, creative, mad and cathartic. It's a must fucking watch.
(this list doesn't include anime's that I'm currently watching/watched. That is another post for another time)
