HEHE, I have ALL day to watch whatever, I sit here and drink and don't really care what's on at night, LMAO. I could honestly go without TV, done it off and on for years. Now, I have this streaming service that allows me to watch just about anything one could dig up!!

Anyone watching Locke & Key on Netflix? Horror/fantasy series about a family that moves into their father's secluded ancestral home after he is murdered. To me, it has that "Stranger Things" feel.

As I've mentioned before I don't watch TV. I read. A LOT. But, I must admit to two guilty pleasures. I stream Supernatural and I used to watch Project Runway until Heidi Klum left. I just streamed The Witcher. I think they could have done so much more with The Witcher..... but, I must say Henry Cavill is really good in it. He might break the Superman curse as an actor. I still think the previous Superman Brandon Routh got a raw deal. I liked him as Superman but the script was SO bad. I also just watched The Irishman. Was okay... Not Goodfella's or Godfather quality but not bad. I don't think it lived up to the hype.
Tried to watch a few other show's I've heard of like Stranger Things but I only made it through half an episode. I did make it through a season and a half of Single Parent's apparently it's an ABC show and I must admit it's really funny! I believe it's still on TV. But, my books keep calling me back.

I did see previews for a show called EVIL. Anyone watched it? Is it any good? Maybe I'll try that after a season or two is out and it get's good reviews.

Descartes once said "The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries."

Not bad for a French effete prick.

Stranger things is a "You have to start in the beginning" kind of series. The last season was meh in my opinion and I was quite frankly disappointed. I haven't seen any of the others you mentioned.

Descartes is an effete prick though.

Supernatural is in it's 15th and possibly final season. It's a great popcorn munching show that touches on all the old monster legends from every culture. It also deals heavily with the Old and New Testament stories. Demon's, Angels, Satan, God, Death are all characters. It's funny and serious.

I've always been fascinated by all religions and the psychology behind them. The origins, the effects on culture, our entire history. Love the art too. Love it all even though I'm an atheist. Hard to take the Noah's Ark story seriously when we know for a fact it was plagiarized from the story of Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Then Ken Ham goes and builds that monstrous Ark complete with dinosaurs... anyway I digress.

There is a hilarious book by Christopher Moore called The Gospel According to Biff Christ's childhood pal. In the Bible Jesus is born and then doesn't show up again until he's 30. Biff who was born Levi got his nickname because Biff is the sound you hear when his mom smacks him in the back of his head. It's funny but also pretty deep. He manages to tell a funny story while not being to disrespectful to the believers. It's a good read or audiobook if you don't have time to read. I highly recommend it!

Nice.

Ok, with that in mind look up a series called "Penny Dreadful" It was originally on showtime. Great great show. 3 seasons? Awesome series based on victoriann horror penny dreadfuls. Very well done.

Ah, religion. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition now do they! Eh wot? That is why I loved Mel Brooks and Monty Python so much. As a life long Catholic and career altar boy, I found the "Holy Grail" and later "The Life of Brian" to be hilarious. The churches lend themselves to being sent up quite easily. 😂

Agreed, "Life of Brian" is an absolute riot. With quotes like "IT'S THE HOLY GOURD OF JERUSALEM!!!" "I have a goof fwend in Wome named Biggus Dickus!" And "We're not the Judean People's Front, we're the People's front of Judea!"

“The Platform” on Netflix. An interesting Sci-fi/Horror type of film which critiques human nature. Requires some thoughtful analysis to really appreciate it fully. Not for kids. Some very hardcore stuff in there. The only movie I can think of that was vaguely similar to this would be "Hostel."
