What is the sudden lust to tell the Getty kidnap story.

Just saw 'All the Money in the World' , a normal 2hr movie telling the story of the kidnap of the Getty grandson.

Coincidence I guess. It has happened before. In 2016, a documentary named OJ: Made in America, dropped in January of that year, and received instant critical acclaim. A month later, FX debuted their newest anthology show, The People vs OJ, a dramatization of the story the earlier documentary has already told, and received more acclaim than the docu.

Stuffs like this tend to happen from time to time. They might look like conspiracies at first, but are just the manifestations of near identical ideas getting promoted/advanced by completely two different sources and airing at near identical dates.

Finally! I think Smurf is behind Baz getting shot. Don't f**k with that mean old woman.

Can't wait for The Man in the High Castle. My interest is highly piqued. John Smith is my favorite. Does that make me a Nazi?? *ponders*

I think he will make it, he's one of the main characters the show revolve around.

The Man in the High Castle June release date has been shifted to October/November. Bad news.

Let's put it this way: in a grand hotel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer owns the penthouse. Directly below the penthouse is the presidential suite and guess who's the resident, True Blood apparently. Just two floors below the PS is the VIP suite of Penny Dreadful. On the same VIP floor, in fact, just across the hall way is the VIP suite of Masters of Horror. Then several floors later, just in the economy class floor, Angel suite can be found just across the hall. Then on the first floor, Supernatural modest little suite is the first door you will encounter. Then, finally, the basement... a floor down is the nondescript shabby room of The Originals. Then, directly below at the car garage level (the lowest), the tiny room of Vampire Diaries.

Summary:
Above basement

Upper tier
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Penthouse)
- True Blood (Presidential suite)
- Penny Dreadful (VIP suite)
- Masters of Horror (VIP suite)

Middle tier
- Angel (Economy class)
- Supernatural (Regular class)
--------

Lower tier

Basement
- The Originals
- Vampire Diaries

Well, I stopped taking ds dude serious since he gave a bad review to Britatania even before watching it.

Just started Watching " Ghost wars " hope I haven't wasted my mb?

With people comparing The Originals with True bloods should simply go and watch porn. Without the sex scenes, there's nothing spectacular about the film. The Originals isn't in sane league with them

The Originals is made for specifically young adults demographic (teens), so kiddo, I won't judge you or even question your childish taste in tv series, but please, I take god beg you, stay away from my mentions. It's highly embarrassing when secondary students quote me just to talk rubbish.

Buffy the vimpires layer that I watched ?? Shown on silverbirld television back then .c'mon that's your opinion .Buffy and the originals ??this is strange to me .

Please have you seen the originals ...I need to really ask if you stopped watching the series ..the finale is still on .let's not start comparing character and story line .

I can deal with your opinion to say the originals is not the best out there but juxtaposing it with Buffy the vimpires layer is very alien to me .


I am using this medium to call out all the witches if there is any ,the vimpires if they exist and the wolves together with their alpha in new Orleans to please come and dagger Mr koice tonight .

All the series you mentioned are sire to originals end of quote .

I just tire

na silver bird I still watch am

Exactly, the portrayal of relationships in originals is truly original.

The acting is top notch

I haven't watched any vampire genre in series apart from TVD and Originals. From from extensive googling of sites that rated various vampire series, one was consistent all through - Buffy The Vampire Slayer topped all their lists. True Blood and TVD was usually in top 5 but on some, TVD was around 6th or 7th while True Blood was consistently in top 5. Also in some top 5 where both TVD and True Blood were in it, TVD topped True Blood in some, while True Blood returned the favour in some. I guess it boils down to personal choices, but from observation, I'll say True Blood edges TVD but wins Originals hands down.

One of these days, I'll check out True Blood, although the general consensus was that the show tanked when Alan Ball left the show. Which is not surprising because TVD too tanked towards the last 3 seasons especially when Damon started dating Elena and the producers knew and ended it.

That's one thing about most series, at a point they get boring.

Just finished watching KILLING Eve.... Ooh dear.

I wasn't even aware of those websites you mentioned, but it's gratifying that the best minds at this specific genre shared similar sentiments.

Buffy is the 'originals' of the vampire genre, the pioneer, the one others try to imitate and surpass. The gold standard only few has come very close to touching over the years... the one that invented the infamous vampires/werewolves rivalry. Buffy is always gonna top that list until another show completely reinvent the genre. The Strain tried and failed. Penny Dreadful tried and also failed. True Blood tried to put a mature spin on Buffy and had some degree of success. The Vampire Dairies straightup tried to ride on Buffy's mantle but shot itself in the foot later, and never recovered. The spinoff, The Originals is just a bad Angel ripoff (Angel is Buffy' spinoff btw), and arguably the worst vampire show I have ever watched. The acting on that show is terrible. I tried watching it once and couldn't even make it more than 5 mins.

All these shows pale in comparison to Buffy for the same reasons Black Mirror will always be 2nd best to Twilight Zone: the first of it's genre and thus the gold standard.

True Blood set out to tell a story, and it did for the most part. It took a detour here and there but made it back to it's true path in the end. It's a solid enough supernatural themed (vampire, werewolves, etc) show.

13 REASONS WHY.....watched the whole season 2
damn hannah is one mental unstable crazy attention seeking bi.tch
she dated almost half of the football team including bryce, sharing free sex to who ever need it, she is also a bully
clay is the victim here, im angry right now deleted the whole fucking series

Most definitely its Smurf. She knows he was the one who raided him.

Nah, that doesn't make who a Nazi. I do enjoy the series, The Man in the High Castle.

I'll have to contradict you on Penny dreadful being an example of a show that tried and failed to toe the line of 'Buffy' a pioneer show by all standards, in the sense that I don't think that was an objective in the first place.
Penny dreadful was more or less a convergence of sorts of historical supernatural elements/figures, (Dracula inclusive), with more focus on supernatural philosophy and religiosity than actual vampirism which is only one of the many sides and aspects to the show.
Although the Vampire tag is obviously applicable to penny dreadful, I think grading as an actual Vampire show as against other vampire shows with main focus on vampires, werewolf rivalry and everything in between is wrong.
Both Penny dreadful and the strain have distinct feels separate from Buffy. But with the strain tilting more towards the the buffy set up, penny dreadful is in a whole other class.

This is why people need to pay more attention...

- First, I never said that Penny Dreadful & The Strain tried to emulate Buffy at all. I said, they tried to 'reinvent' the genre (supernatural), ie, they tried to do something completely different from the mainstream, and... failed, if we were to take anything from their abrupt conclusions.

- 2ndly, Penny Dreadful belongs to the 'supernatural' genre same as Buffy . Supernatural genre is a broad term that covers not only vampires but all kinds of mythical elements, thus, dragons, witches, fairies and gods are allowed... which bring us to...

- 3rdly, it's a mistake thinking Penny Dreadful is unique from the rest of the genre because of it's less focus on vamparism and more focus on the fringe elements of the supernatural by the importation of Dracula and the Frankenstein monster among others. Nope. See, Buffy did that already, it had demons, half demons, witches, Undeads, demigods, ghosts, monsters, robots, gods, spirits, etc. Vampires and werewolves were only just a small part of it. Thus, Penny Dreadful owes it's uniquemess to it's presentation not application. In application, it's a lot like Buffy and the rest, but in presentation, it's remarkably different.

- 4thly, none of the shows I mentioned in a previous post were strictly about vampires, thus it would be wrong to classify them as 'vampire shows'. They are more accurately tagged 'supernatural shows' for the fact that anything goes. It's not all about vampires and werewolves, often times, witches and gods are thrown into the mix too.
