As per the title, are there any feature or TV length productions from 2019 to the present that you think are diamonds in the rough? Any that truly put good writing and characterization first and don't have any woke gender or anti-populism/Republican nonsense?
If they do have any political leanings, are they at least not so preachy or heavy handed about it?
I think the discussions on this site about the overwhelming proliferation of heavily left leaning politics in pop culture are compelling.
However, I thought it would be cool to highlight the gems that break free of that nonsense and bring the depth and creativity back to these mediums.
It'd be nice to show people examples of good works out there so that they know they're not alone in just wanting good entertainment and know that it's still possible. Even if said works don't quite have mainstream popularity.
So I'd love to see what examples of good TV shows or movies free of wokeness or are at least not overly political you can think of.
I hear people rave about House of the Dragon, but while I know it’s nerdy pettiness I refuse to support GRRM til he finishes the books. The only more modern shows I watch are Blue Bloods and Yellowstone. If you ever want more classic shows I can be more help lol.
Didnt that show have a random black targerian (you know the white family that only inbreeds)
No it's a different house from Valeyria. They race-swapped House Velaryon. They also have random black dudes in the background. Which is funny because there are no black people in GOT so where did all the random black people go?
Yea. I’m just saying what I heard but they say they explain it well although I think it’s dumb. If you wanted to include black characters or non white ones in that world there are countries you can use.
I haven't and will not watch the Fallout show. What did they do to the Brotherhood of Steel? I'm almost afraid to ask
Don’t blame you. I still need to play fallout. I love Skyrim and I’m told it’s like Skyrim in a post apocalyptic setting. I used to want Skyrim to be adapted but not anymore. Dont want anything to be mainstream at this point.
House of the Dragon has multiple aggressively queer actors including a troon and a pronoun-type nonbinary.
I heard about that. I’ll probably just read Fire and Blood.
HotD is not a rage. It's ok. It is super slow. You would do better to watch all episodes at once.
Oh and it's woke.
For House of the Dragon: Season 1 was alright. I'm not completely caught up but so far season 2 seems a lot like the later seasons of Game of Thrones, it even has changes to the Fire and Blood book like shoehorned lesbian romance out of nowhere.
I’ll get the book used along with Dunk and Egg but it annoys me he can’t finish ice and fire u by t works on everything else
Definitely, he's either written himself into a corner or he's just being a lazy piece of shit.
I could respect it if he would just say he is stuck or give another writer his outline and notes and let them finish. Him working on all these side stories is really annoying for people who read the books
HotD didn't piss me off, but I found none of the characters likeable after a while. everyone just seemed miserable the entire time.
