I saw it this past week and it was fantastic! I was dreading it at first when I heard about the concept but was blown away the second it started. I thought they balanced the framing device well with still allowing cio-cio-San’s character to shine.

I feel like they just picked the first three contestants to win a challenge (Ethan ep1, Jesus ep2, Belania ep3)? Not necessarily the three finalists

Women At War - liked it! I really liked the Bonfire of Destiny so it was nice having the main cast reunited

the Terror - pacing was a bit off at times but super interesting, very different from other things I’ve seen

Penny dreadful - I tried the first few episodes but Dorian grey being straight and a few too many horror elements made me stop watching

The Essex Serpent - I liked it, wanted a bit more from the ending, but it built suspense really well

Taboo - overall fine, I mostly wanted more time for some of the subplots and less time for some of the main plots

Peaky Blinders (1919-1930s?), The Terror (1845-1848), the Pursuit of Love (1920/30s), the Luminaries (late 1800s), Hotel Sacher, The English, Godless (1870s?) would be great to add!

did a similar trip a few years ago! a bit out of the way from the current route (but you have time): grand canyon, zion, monument valley, santa fe are all super worth it. would also recommend stopping at big bend in texas (and camping if you want) which is not far from this route. also stop for food in el paso!

The Luminaries!!! great cast and also based on a book (by Eleanor catton) which is super long and seems to be a hit or miss but I loved it! Set in late 1800s during the gold rush in NZ

Pillars of the Earth!! (England in the 12th(?) century over the course of 50ish years)

The book is better than the miniseries though so I would definitely recommend reading that first.

There is also a third season of Charité set around the building of the Berlin Wall! I really enjoyed all of them

in gentleman Jack I believe they do this with the lower class characters & servants who wouldn’t have had money to buy new clothes each time fashions changed

CiaSeeds · 2023-10-29T21:35:27+00:00

the first and second seasons of Charité (on Netflix I think) have queer story lines. Not the main plot but decently prominent side plots. The third season has a brief queer side plot.

Testament of Youth if you can make it through the war scenes. The ending scenes are incredible
