Not sure they're my kind of shows but I'm sure others will enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for both of them!
DeleteI am interested in this one. I always love these mini series based on the past greats. I can't imagine in the future anyone will look back on this generation and make a miniseries about anyone here. People just aren't as interesting these days.
ReplyDeleteMini series on the current events and politicians will be Nazi and Fascism series, stories of very dark ages when dark politics, tyranny and plague ruled... kinda very mediaeval except with mobile phones and gadgets.
DeleteMedieval with a modern technology twist. Yep, that's how it's going to go down LOL
DeleteNo doubt! New Dark Ages.
DeleteCool costumes ❤
ReplyDeleteThey look very good in them!
DeleteI'm sold with Domina. We do love a good story about overcoming adversity and becoming a powerful woman leader. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about that one as I love almost everybody from the boys in the cast, hope it will rich and lavish.
