I don't like Zombie movies either, nor does my wife -- we
both love The Walking Dead. It's more about the people and
how they survive while also trying to sustain some semblance
of law and order; the zombies are just what cause the
situation and constant stress they live within. More of a
back drop.
Ah.. A kind of psychological approach then. But then it depends on the pace of the series. I don't like a series that drags out the mystery for too long.
For example, I could not get into LOST despite all the hype built up around it.
Later, I learned that the ending let the fans down anyway.
... having the feeling of not being
surrounded, without the expense of a lot of land, is what I
like within a back yard. And, the trees help filter some of
the road and siren noise that seems non-stop 2-3 blocks
away.
No street noise around here. Just birds, crickets, frogs.
I can relate to the char in Ozark who lives in the basement at his house and has the habit of going skinny dipping in the lake. It's at *his* property after all.
Back to films.. I would recommend the series: The
Americans. It's a spy thriller set in the Reagan era..
I saw that show listed, haven't tried it yet. I'll have to
do so.
It's a very smart/intellectual series. The poker-faces of the actors as they deal with concealing their secrets are fun to watch. The scenes of unspoken communications are well played as well.
I just recently reviewed a couple of episodes where I left off. It is near the end of season 2 where they deal with the "secrets" of arpanet, stealth technology for the SR-xx bomber, and ECHO.
The ECHO scenes reminded me of echomail. I'd like to create a little mashup of
those scenes and have a little spoof on how the "secret" of echomail was revealed to the world. LOL
Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I
really enjoyed.
I heard a lot about it when it first came out. The premise intrigued me. But I did not have access to DSL/internet as I do now. My movie + tv series backlist is getting longer than I have time to spare for!
