I'll be very interested to watch "Troy: Fall of a City" in due course when it comes out. I hope they portray Achilles' and Patroclus' gay relationship accurately.
ReplyDeletethat would be lovely!
DeleteI guess we'll never get tired of stories about the fall of Troy. I think they should do something about Ephesus. It's still a fantastic place, even in ruins. Troy not so much. Still I'll probably tune in.
ReplyDeletethey could dig up something else from Ancient history, but they're too lazy
DeleteThe Last Kingdom looks like it has potential.
ReplyDeletethe first season was certainly fun although visually very mediocre, which I told to the director himself and he got pissed with me :)))
DeleteI'm not usually a fan of historical, but if they're done well, they can be intriguing and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTV would be doomed without the quality they offer and under quality I mean only UK and European epic shows
DeleteThe Favourite is something to look forward to. Hello, Nicholas. :)
ReplyDeleteNicky would make us join the Torries in a second
DeleteGlad that Netflix has a new one coming out. Jason just cancelled our cable since we hardly watch the telly anymore. I'll need me some good shows to keep me occupied while doing household chores.
ReplyDeleteAnd, still looking forward to The Last Kingdom. I do agree, it was not visually appealing during the first season, so I hope they step it up for season 2!
most things will start this March when it comes to shows. I'm finishing THE HALCYON and EMERALD CITY so I will have two empty spots, probably for LAST KINGDOM and EMPIRE.
DeleteYes, the director of Last Kingdom caught me trashing the lack of vision and visual identity of the show over at Twitter and got angry :) I was glad he heard the truth LOL
Last Kingdom looks interesting...
ReplyDeleteThe first saison wasn't bad at all
DeleteSome good shows, but I did stumble on Santa Clarita diet it sort of gave me the bumps
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the last kingdon
yes, that one is not something we would ever write about here, we don't do gore and morbid stuff
DeleteNice butt. Sure beats mine.
ReplyDeletemine too
