Tv Shows & Movies You Must See

What are your favourite TV shows and movies? I love most HBO shows, which is a cable network in the US.

If you ever saw the movie "Psycho" in the sixties, you must see the series, "Bates Motel". It is a prequel to the movie and shows how Norman and his mother came to live at the motel. As it unfolds you can understand what led to Norman's state of mind and the complex, weird relationship he had with his mother that made it hard for him to 'let her go', even after her death. If you did see Psycho, let me know if you can manage to take a shower with the curtain closed. I can't.

"True Detective" stars Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghy as Southern detectives dealing with their own lives in a small town rural area and a serial killer.

"Fargo" is set in Minneapolis and is a prequel to the movie "Fargo". It is fascinating.

Of course, if you have not watched "Game of Thrones", you need to get that or you will not have a totally fulfilled life at all. Peter Dinklage is a goddam genius and also my new boyfriend, (shut up now, he is so).

As for movies, "Non-Stop" with Liam Neeson is an air marshall on a flight, post 9/11, who receives messages from an unknown source on the plane and everyone is a potential suspect. Great movie.

An older HBO series that is a definite must-see is "Deadwood". Set in the actual town of Deadwood that is famous for the shootout that resulted in the death of Wild Bill Hickock. If you have a problem with full-on language using every swear word you can think of, to excess, you won't like it. For me, it gave us a whole new set of phrases to yell in the car. Look out for Ian McShane who plays Swearengen, the publican and crime boss.

The perfect series for men and women is "Justified". Timothy Oliphant is yummo. I could watch him walk for hours, replaying the visual over and over. He plays a US federal marshal and it is set in the deep South. Lots of tight black jeans on those long legs. Another actor who plays his adversary is Walton Goggins, who is my second new boyfriend just once in a while. This show is a definite must-see.

"Hannibal" is a series based on the Thomas Harris character from the movie "Silence of the Lambs". It stars
Mads Mikkelson who plays the younger Hannibal who is a practising Psychiatrist with extra-curricular interests that include gourmet food preparation and dinner parties.
 
Wow, your awesome descriptions make me want to watch all of those. Especially Bates Motel and Hannibal. :)

I don't have too many Must-Watch's, but the one show that comes to mind is Sherlock. They just put the Third season plus a few behind-the-scenes episodes up on Netflix. There are only three episodes a season, but once you start watching, you'll understand why. The stories are very elaborate, witty, funny yet gripping and fast. I mean really fast. Turn away for a minute or two and you'll be completely lost. I just love Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as John Watson, who plays as big of a role, if not bigger than Sherlock:) But their relationship is so awesome. My personal favorite episodes are The Sign of Three, A Scandal In Belgravia, and The Empty Hearse. :)
 
Thanks for thatTi Vu. I will get that one next. Benedict Cumberbatch is a dude.

Martin Freeman also plays a main character in 'Fargo' and he steals the show. Apparently, he was also in the original Ricky Gervais series of The Office. Ricky Gervais is another of my boyfriends. OK, so I'm a bit of a tart. Just love his crooked bottom teeth.

Oh, yes, that's another one. "Derek" is Ricky's latest show. He plays a guy who works in an old people's home. He seems to have some 'special needs' attributes but it is deliberately kept vague. It is funny, heart-warming, totally irreverent and real. Karl Pilkington is also in it as the resident handyman.

You will love Bates Motel and Hannibal.

I honestly think that knowing there is an episode of a great show to watch is a wonderful healing thing and it reminds us of looking forward to something simple......and that makes life great.
 
I avoid a lot of movies and shows because they trigger me too much. However, triggers or not, I re-watched the whole Prison Break series not too long ago because it is that good. It's intense, but it's just really well don, in my opinion. It's a great good versus evil plot.
 
Yesterday, I went to the movies and saw Malificent. This is an awesome movie and a must see, It even has a happy ending.
 
Breaking bad is an amazing show. Amazing.

Dexter can be triggering but if you want to see bad guys get what they deserve, it's an awesome amazingly well put together show.

Two of my favorites
