I'm totally bored of that fighting nun thing. Wife and Daughter still seem to like it.

It's a top class 3 season show with a compelling narrative and great character development. The fights, based on the elements, become more inventive and visual as more elements are added. I loved ATLA. (Toph is the best).Started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and have been enjoying it. Easy going anime style cartoon fantasy, aimed at kids, but the story and characters are enjoyable

We got to the end, when I say end... They really left it hanging so that there's a season 2! There better be!

I dunno, it's just like a shit Buffy, and I didn't even like Buffy. So far I'm getting a bit sick of the "I'm not going to be the chosen one" . . ."you have to be the chosen one. . .oh actually I don't care", "oh good because I don't want to be the chosen one", "she will do it" . . .one fight per episode.
Tedious.

That's kinda what Buffy was
she accepts it eventually... Like Buffy. But yeah, if you don't like Buffy... If you don't like the characters then it just doesn't work.I didn't like the first season of Buffy at all... Only watched it because I was told to stick with it. Not saying that to convince you of anything, people have different tastes. Just saying it because it's what happened.

If that's the case, I strongly recommend you don't watch Cursed, Netflix's new fantasy series
It's a kind of LOTR meets GoT fantasy take of the origins of Excalibur and King Arthur. Nowhere near as high-budget as those though- everything about is rather more pedestrian. and the main character struggles through the series with the theme you mention in your post.
I nearly quit at the end of the first episode as it wasn't coming across as very good, but we stuck with it and it does improve. I would give it a 6/10 overall. It manages to be entertaining enough if you like that kind of genre- just don't expect too much of it.

My wife and all my friends were into Buffy and all talked about it. I would go around and drink and smoke and we would always be watching Buffy. I was also told to stick with it, but I never got it. . . . until Once More with Feeling, which I love very much. . . . but then all shit again. So I just don't think warrior nun is for me. I have to admit that I found the first two, maybe three episodes intriguing, but as said before, after that it just became tedious.That's kinda what Buffy was

Sounds even worse. I hate LOTR and have zero interest in GoT, so I'm not even going to look at it on that basis alone.
I have to admit that I did put it into my list because I thought my daughter might be interested, but if she doesn't beg me to watch it I don't think I am going to pressure her on it. . . .she's quite happy watching various anime on Netflix (which I kid myself is educational from a language perspective).

Yeah, I agree it did get a bit meh halfway through... There was also less of her internal dialogue. Maybe that'll get dropped. I kinda liked it but it could grate sometimes.
It has potential, but could turn to shit. The last episode opened a few doors for interesting storylines. Hope they don't fuck it up.
I also have no time for LOTR and GoT!!!

Your daughter might like it depending on her age as it is slightly teen-oriented. A bit of violence here and there but nowhere near as bad as GoT.

It's great, isn't it! Some wonderful comedy moments and great characters. Both this and the follow up, Korra, do some fantastic work.Started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and have been enjoying it.

I wouldn't have watched any of it if it hadn't been for my partner wanting to watch it. Further cementing the fact that I should trust her choices more!

Oh yeah, I forgot about the internal dialogue. It sounded at first like like really shit writing to explain what was going on to make up for a lack of well thought out film making. . . . then it just seemed to go on and I wondered if it wasn't a daring new style element that would eventually see the halo also talking with her internally. Internal dialogues always jar with me because I don't have one that uses words.
Anyway they seem to have dropped it, so I guess it was just lazy programme making, or executive interference.

Yup. Thought it had those qualities plus a Doctor Who vibe to it.

I'm watching a UK crime series from 2002 and the psychopathic torture murderer in the first episode is.....trans. It feels like a slap in the face after watching that documentary.

What’s the series ? Due to my love for retro “trash“ there are a few films I love, which I feel conflicted about when it comes to the depiction of LGBT+ characters. Still, I’d rather be a psycho killer than one of those self-hating suicides.

Which Freaks? Not the 1932 original?
Nooo, that is a stone cold classic, mind. No, this is another one.

Wire in the Blood. It's quite good but I'll watch pretty much any crime drama.
It was just strange having watched that doc and then there it is - boom! - right there.

I guess it is 18 years old and one would hope attitudes have moved on a bit since then.

I find this often while watching old movies with my kids - particularly representations of women. I watched Bill & Ted with my sons recently having remembered it being fun and harmless and lots of it was

Lots of really gross stuff about the young step mum, and at one point Bill and Ted are literally given two girls as a rewardBill &Ted? That's a shame because I loved that film but when I think about it, I'm not that surprised. 1989 is a long time ago
