Post-holiday Tuesday blues got you down?
Check out my latest blog post where I share some of my favorite stress-relief TV shows that have been absolute lifesavers for me. 📺
ps. Sending you virtual hugs friends! 🤗
Nach Streamingdienst und PAY-TV kommt die "Raumpatrouille" demnächst nun auch ins Free-TV!
Der ARD-Spartenkanal ONE zeigt ab 18. Mai 2024 jeweils 2 mal:
Den 2003er "Rücksturz ins Kino" - Film (RORIK)
und unter dem Motto
"Fernsehschätze - Premiere HD-Fassung"
die 7 Folgen von 1966
I'm looking for TV series, aired probably mid-1990's (in Poland it was aired around 1997 or 1998).
There was a guy trying to solve some mystery (or mysteries?), perhaps working alone. I recall a single episode where he noticed that while holding a certain mysterious object near him, objects behaved unexpectedly, e.g. Coriolis effect was reversed (working in opposite direction). I think he was trying to contact a person from his past, maybe a brother or father.
Each episode ended (and probably started) with a music theme involving tubular bells.
It is definitely not "Nowhere Man" with Bruce Greenwood, nor "The Pretender" with Michael T. Weiss.
I'm studying IMDb's TV series list from 1990's but it's a very long list... I'll be very happy if anybody gives me a hint or some title to try!
I like TV shows with a cold open. It is a neat technique to jump into the action, and works really well for both episodic story telling and story arcs.
The reason for making them is to trick Americans into suffering the opening commercial break, which is ridiculous and thankfully not allowed here, so for us it's just more and better entertainment.
I've tried so hard to like For All Mankind. I loved that it is a character-driven story, with the sci-fi sort of in the background, but yo, it has very long boring scenes that revolve around these characters I just don't care about. Like who in their right mind would root for a guy like Gordo? And why is most of Season 2 dedicated to him? I gave up in S02 E05.
But it's a good series, otherwise. If you can stomach the long dreary scenes, you'll enjoy it.

Mai 2023
Anyone else here watched / missing this amazing TV show? Book just arrived. Nostalgia read. El Ministerio del Tiempo will always be one of my favorite series. ❤️
Watching #TheBrothersSun on Netflix and I'm kinda obsessed. The choreographies, the soundtrack, the characters... Michelle Yeoh as boss lady. I am very much invested now.
Before I get to work, a few thoughts on the current big movies and TV series. You may not agree with my PoV.
Oppenheimer was about 1 hr too long. Some good character play but overall very dreary and talky. Gave up about 30mins before the end.
Flower Moon thing was almost too boring to keep watching after about 45 minutes but I kept on for a bit. I gave up and went to bed and didnt bother watching the end. What the hell was it really about? Did I have to do loads of googling to get the plot? Tedious.
Rebel Moon - a pathetic waste of time lost I will never get back. Gave it about 45 minutes.
The Killer was good. Not really good but definitely good. Fassbender is quite compulsive in these loner roles and I enjoyed how the film was put together.
The Creator was overall very enjoyable. A bit long and drawn out but the whole idea and the general production value was excellent.
I have watched earlier series of Succession but stopped as I was sick of watching stories about really horrible people. This also applies to Billions.
I haven't watched Napoleon yet but going on comments I wont bother fttb.
Same as above for Maestro.
I didn't watch Barbie bc (...) Id much rather watch Lee, but haven't been able to find a source to watch it.
I think current movies are overall terrible. There is no story, or if there is, it is so obscured by terrible screenplay that it gets completely lost in supposed nuanced meaningfulness that we the viewers lose all interest. We dont care about the characters. Quite a lot of TV series on the other hand tend to be very good, if you choose what interests you. This is the opposite of what may have been true a decade ago.
