Which season? The first one was boring, the second one also but more watchable as it was in Elizabethan London, and I have not started yet the third and final one, but I do have it downloaded, I hear the reactions of the audience were not overly good. Domina was nice, and I'm happy it is getting a new season, too bad it is not on Netflix, it would have better ratings.
I’m still on the first season. There are things I like, there are things I don’t. I’m looking forward to the time-traveling season. Good question. Why didn’t Netflix pick Domina? Didn’t have enough nudity? The political message was not strong enough?
Netflix is always evil towards period set and costume drama, they only like it if it is distorting history like in Bridgerton or if it is very gory like Barbarians.
I’m with Theresa! I thought we were past the whole vampire trend. I made I through the first round without ever seeing Twilight or True Blood. I’m not sure I’ll make it through a round 2. Lol

Are vampires still a thing? I thought we moved past that already.
ReplyDeleteBilly the Kid doesn't look bad. I'm sure it's one Jason will want to watch.
These are the royal vampires.
DeleteTalking about vampires, I just began watching Discovery of Witches. Did you like it? Since I don't have EPIX, I'm not into any of these projects.
DeleteRoyal vampires are more exciting than regular vampires then? I think I'll just skip past all vampires at this point.

DeleteI do like the Ancient Rome costumes and atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very subdued atmosphere, but still watchable and nice. Hope the second season will be more dynamic.
DeleteIts been a really long while. Vampire Academy film series sound good.
ReplyDeleteTeens will like it, us adults not so much :)

ReplyDeleteI'd check this one for hunks, though, although I expect it will be utter trash, more suited for CW than Peacock.
