2023-12-27 11:50:21 +0000 UTCI loveeee kdramas, even more so than Animes. I think Lola watches them but they won't react to it, that's a whole different viewer base. I'm currently watching My Demon on Netflix and it's sooo good🥹
MinaOrano
2023-12-26 15:12:48 +0000 UTCHave you ever watched or considered watching a K-Drama? Really liked extraordinary attorney Woo for example. Any K-Drama watchers here in the comments?
elisa
2023-12-26 13:12:23 +0000 UTCPlease consider One piece live action <3
Hamza Jirrari
2023-12-22 22:05:49 +0000 UTCIs that show related to the movie?
refo44
2023-12-20 18:34:47 +0000 UTCNot sure if anyone else has recommended it, but since you mentioned wanting more shows focused more on women I can't recommend love is war: Kaguya Sama enough. Really funny and super super sweet high school rom-com. One of my all time favorite shows
Will
2023-12-20 17:58:24 +0000 UTCSeconding Frieren. I can imagine them calling them "my babies" a few episodes in.

2023-12-19 05:18:54 +0000 UTCSpyxFamily Needs to be reacted by Lola & Milena 😁
Deno Baanu
2023-12-19 01:05:49 +0000 UTCThough not as a reaction, I assume.
Joe Gaspard
2023-12-18 17:26:23 +0000 UTCSadly, it seems they already watched it, so they will no react to Orphan Black
refo44
2023-12-18 16:12:05 +0000 UTCThey already watch it
refo44
2023-12-18 16:07:16 +0000 UTCfor your new show, I would highly recommend, Ether The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon, or the Live action One Piece on Netflix.
Steven Cavanagh
2023-12-17 23:40:13 +0000 UTCFrieren: Beyond Journey's End is amazingly good at making you feel ALL the emotions.

Darrach
2023-12-15 21:23:05 +0000 UTCI feel like you are pretty much only watching darks shows right now, so maybe something light-hearted like Spy x Family or Kaguya Sama
idoleyes
2023-12-15 02:39:03 +0000 UTCFINALLY! Another "12 Monkeys" tv show enjoyer. One of the most cohesively well-put together shows that is clearly planned from start to finish, AND sticks the landing with the finale. Truly a one of a kind show!
DaftBasterd
2023-12-15 01:06:58 +0000 UTCI totally forgot about True Detective Season 1, great 8 episode series that make for a great reaction!
UNC
2023-12-15 00:03:11 +0000 UTCYea I need a non anime show to stay subbed, I love the content and want to support but can’t with one show that I watch.
UNC
2023-12-15 00:02:17 +0000 UTCThe Queen’s Gambit, while you decide on your next, longer, commitment.

Jnotes
2023-12-14 23:23:11 +0000 UTCThey've seen Lost, Milena loves it!
TeaDrinker3000
2023-12-14 22:30:41 +0000 UTCIt would be good to continue the run you have had with BB, BCS, Mr Robot and The Wire. I would strongly rcommend Lost, Boss, or Startup to continue with quality drama/thriller shows.
Chris
2023-12-14 21:59:06 +0000 UTCcode geass or akame ga kill !!! you would love

LostinAoT
2023-12-14 20:18:40 +0000 UTCThey've talked about doing both of those shows! Although the sopranos so close to the wire might be too much. better to give that show some space to stand on its own legs.
Michael Cannon
2023-12-14 19:30:59 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for a quick show till you find something... Reacher on Prime. The character relationships are amazing and it's dialogue over action. Gen V on Prime. No spoilers but this show will have an impact or season 4 or The Boys. For something longer Banshee (4 seasons) is a hidden gem of a show and has a lot of faces you'd recognise from other shows.

Åsmund Bergsbakk
2023-12-14 16:15:17 +0000 UTCyou’re watching the sopranos next right?
Leric
2023-12-14 15:31:08 +0000 UTCim a little surprised no one here has recommended Black Sails or The Sopranos. Im not a mentalist or anything but I'd say Lola is probably gonna pick this one judging by her comments.
MrRuss50
2023-12-14 15:28:03 +0000 UTCYou should want Jujutsu kaisen or sword art online
Jordan Brogan
2023-12-14 15:19:12 +0000 UTCSecret City Main Cast is Anna Torv who played Tess in the Last of US Because you asked how the could make the profile in The Wire about the "Serial Killer" Manhunt: Unabomber (run for 2 Seasons 18 episodes) Mindhunter (also 2 Season 19 episodes) Also with Anna Torv in a main role The last two depict the creation of Profiling Criminals
aramaki
2023-12-14 14:03:33 +0000 UTC@Wanda Did Nothing Wrong Totally agree, on all fronts. Especially on Max and Flint being two of my favorite TV characters. They’re both very complex and have great arcs, as you said. And unlike in certain spaces of the fandom, I’m confident L&M would love Max too. Tbh I never understood anyone disliking her, but that’s a whole conversation for another day.
cosmotron
2023-12-14 13:56:26 +0000 UTCIf it’s going to a poll instead of us just getting Black Sails at long long long last, then I would also like to add 12 monkeys in there. Those 2 are the nearest to perfect shows as it gets, and they both just slip right under everyone’s radar.
Wanda Did Nothing Wrong
2023-12-14 13:39:18 +0000 UTCI think Black Sails is one of only 2 shows I would class as near perfect. It is phenomenal from start to finish. There isn’t a single lull in writing, story, acting, sets, stunts, anything. And it has an actual PERFECT finale. Not a single thing I would change about it. Plus it produced two of my favourite tv characters, Flint & Max. I love them both, so much. Best character arcs on tv.
Wanda Did Nothing Wrong
2023-12-14 13:31:57 +0000 UTCThrowing in another vote for Black Sails just in case. You guys would love it!
Sayaki
2023-12-14 13:29:19 +0000 UTCI think you guys would love Black Sails

2023-12-14 13:03:27 +0000 UTCFrieren for sure!
LuminousT
2023-12-14 12:36:01 +0000 UTCYes Mad Men would be a considerable time investment - I thought it was 6 seasons but it's 7.
Chidi.
2023-12-14 12:05:05 +0000 UTCSince you loved Violet Evergarden so much, then I highly recommend "To Your Eternity" since people who love VE usually end up loving TYE (but please don't read the summary)
Markub El Jaden
2023-12-14 11:15:55 +0000 UTCI recommend the One Piece live action. It's only 8 episodes. You get the best of both worlds. It really impressed non-anime fans about the series. (The anime/manga is even better than HxH, IMHO. both my top 3 or 4) Also the used the cancelled Black Sails set and refurbished the ships. So that should satisfy them for another series. The GOAT series that you should eventually watch is 'The Sopranos'. But One Piece live action could be a good appetizer.

Jesse S
2023-12-14 05:38:09 +0000 UTCAs of 2022, during an exhibition for the series in Tokyo, she had this to say: "This exhibition is dedicated to everybody who supports me and keeps reading my work. I am terribly sorry for making everyone worry since I have taken a long hiatus from NANA. I feel like my body has been recovering little by little while preparing for this event as well. Not only that, but I would love to keep working on my manga while taking care of my health from now on. Please look forward to when that time comes."
Robert H.
2023-12-14 05:14:26 +0000 UTCHell's Paradise is one of the animes considered part of the Dark Trio of Shonen. The others two are Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw's Man. It's great but right now I think the girls will enjoy more an anime as Ranking of King.
refo44
2023-12-14 05:10:29 +0000 UTCAre Twin Peaks reactions impossible due to copyright ? Otherwise that's what I would recommend.
Schweitzer
2023-12-14 05:00:07 +0000 UTCI believe they said they started until they got up to a sexually graphic and violent scene early in season 1. IMO the first season is definitely the weakest and it tries to ride that (at the time) GoT hype train by overdoing violence and sex in the first few episodes. Thankfully the writing gets much better and doesn’t rely on shock factor as much
My Toasty Toast
2023-12-14 04:56:34 +0000 UTCIt was indeed great!!! One of my favorite television shows for sure! I honestly think LM would love all the twists & turns it has and fall in love with so many characters, too. Wish they'd look into it or at least consider giving the first episode a go. Guaranteed they'd be hooked from the get go lol. Tatiana absolutely KILLS IT in the show. Never an episode where it was boring tbh.
Jessica Sutherland
2023-12-14 04:43:58 +0000 UTCcosmotron wrote this so I don't have to. Bless It's the end of my top 3! Mr Robot, BCS, Black Sails
Isaac
2023-12-14 04:32:06 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure they've seen on their own time. I'm not 100%. TeaDrinker3000 would know
Isaac
2023-12-14 04:29:50 +0000 UTCPolls are gonna get nasty now lol. Entertainment City
Isaac
2023-12-14 04:27:30 +0000 UTCYeah, Black Sails is definitely a contender. Hopefully it doesn't get upset again!
Isaac
2023-12-14 04:25:42 +0000 UTCSopranos, Barry, Fargo the TV series Seasons 1-3. All would make for great reactions!
UNC
2023-12-14 04:19:28 +0000 UTCI think they have watched Succession but if they havent its on the top of my list!
UNC
2023-12-14 04:18:26 +0000 UTCOrphan Black was a great sci-fi show. It's curious that it hadn't been recommended or mentioned here before. Perhaps it's Tatiana Maslany's best performance as an actress in a TV show so far. She even won an Emmy for it. And it has great plot.
refo44
2023-12-14 04:07:47 +0000 UTCThe last kingdom on netflix you wont regret
Jack Gagliano
2023-12-14 03:57:52 +0000 UTCIf you haven’t seen the sopranos yet I’m amazed. It’s THE piece of American television of the last 30 years.
ecksdee
2023-12-14 03:44:01 +0000 UTComg where did u read it, last thing heard from her was like a year ago and she was still sick, btw nana is fking genius and LM are looking for women centered anime it would be great
Marta Renzetti
2023-12-14 03:41:01 +0000 UTCI would shit if you guys reacted to Orphan Black or Haikyuu tbh. Both shows are so, so good.
Jessica Sutherland
2023-12-14 03:23:14 +0000 UTCThe sopranos is so good and you guys would be very surprised I think.
Cole
2023-12-14 03:16:28 +0000 UTCIt has to be sopranos. You cant review the wire and not sopranos and vice versa lol its youtube/patreon law

2023-12-14 03:08:05 +0000 UTCYou need another anime for the week.

Shaolin H
2023-12-14 02:25:52 +0000 UTCIt would be fantastic if you continued the saga of great HBO dramas with Six Feet Under and the Sopranos, I also recommend One Piece for a short and lighter show
Wallas
2023-12-14 01:57:11 +0000 UTCs2 of jujutsu kaisen has been insanely good even despite the poor schedule for the animators. probably unlikely but im hoping they watch it after hxh even though its incomplete

nestlerowo
2023-12-14 01:50:39 +0000 UTCI'm really happy to see people who haven't seen Black Sails still being interested in it! It's a really great show that a lot of people missed out on when it was airing.
cosmotron
2023-12-14 01:27:58 +0000 UTCI think The Expanse is a really good comparison to make, actually. I totally agree, and am going to keep pitching Black Sails.
cosmotron
2023-12-14 01:23:42 +0000 UTCIt is! I don't want to overhype it but I think its easily one of the best shows I've ever seen.
cosmotron
2023-12-14 01:22:14 +0000 UTCThe streets are saying it should be Mad Men.
cheech
2023-12-14 01:19:13 +0000 UTCPoll for more HxH??
David Salazar
2023-12-14 01:17:58 +0000 UTCBlack Sails would be a great show for you to react to.
Rileymetal
2023-12-14 01:08:34 +0000 UTCI really don't think the show being finished is a hard requirement they've started plenty of unfinished shows like Vinland Saga, The Boys, Rings of Power, Last of Us, The Bear, Arcane etc. Definitely not enough to write off some of their most requested shows until like 2025-2026
HeavenlyR
2023-12-14 01:06:10 +0000 UTCI'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet but please watch The Boys spinoff Gen V. It ties directly into the next season of the boys and it's only 8 episodes.

2023-12-14 00:54:22 +0000 UTCOh right I heard that in January 2024 True Detective season 4 is gonna be airing! And it has Jodie Foster! I don't even remember when was the last time I saw her in a movie or series. If you want a short live-action show to fill in the slot of tfothu in the future then I strongly recommend it. I know you girls have watched True Detective season 1 so you must have known that every season is an independent story.

Man Themanbro
2023-12-14 00:41:49 +0000 UTCWell, I haven't watched many live-action shows so I'm just gonna root for the ones I've watched: For All Mankind and Fargo! They really don't get enough credit for how good they are. Besides, from what I've heard, the current airing season 4 is the ending season of For All Mankind, so it's the perfect time for you to get into it. And Fargo's every season is an independent story so there will be no pressure "finishing" it.
Tsunemori Kiriko
2023-12-14 00:38:37 +0000 UTCI agree but is still on emission and the first season will not end yet. It will be 28 episodes for the first season. I think is awesome how this anime surpassed Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood as the top ranked anime in My Anime List. FMA have been the top anime by several years.
refo44
2023-12-14 00:37:08 +0000 UTCFrieren is the best choice if y'all wanna do another anime imo (I'm seeing Kaguya-sama and Pluto being mentioned and I support those too) but yeah I also totally get wanting to do another live action as there's a lot of anime on the channel right now. And tbh I'm struggling to think of live action shows to recommend. I do really love Fargo and Barry but I'm not sure those would be 100% your thing (I think you'd still like them though). Also kinda random and completely different but if y'all haven't seen Freaks and Geeks that's a great one.
Payam Sharifi
2023-12-14 00:35:19 +0000 UTCCan you anime fans chill? Some of us have subscribed specifically for the non anime stuff. I loved Vinland Saga but the other shows haven't done it for me and now you're all wanting an anime live action show to take over a non anime slot...Let's choose from one of the many many other great shows instead please
Max Carter
2023-12-14 00:27:43 +0000 UTCI would highly recommend it! It's less popular due to being foreign language but quality wise I put it up with my favourite shows like BCS, The Wire etc, it really is that good! It's a HBO coproduction so might be on their streaming service depending where you are in the world
Max Carter
2023-12-14 00:23:24 +0000 UTCSo many people in the comments basically wanting them to turn the channel into 100% anime reactions. Cmon folks, leave the non-anime viewers amongst us at least one live-action slot (and a live-action version of an anime show doesn’t count btw) 😂
David
2023-12-14 00:22:06 +0000 UTCHaikyuu and Black Sails are the real options.
Eric
2023-12-14 00:20:21 +0000 UTCPLEASE GIRLS PLEASE WATCH *PLUTO* YOU GIRLS GONNA LOVE IT, ITS YOUR TYPE OF SHOW.

Tyrell Rose
2023-12-14 00:14:57 +0000 UTCif you're looking for shorter shows, I recommend blue eye samurai. One of the best animations you'll ever see with a pretty compelling narrative. Only 8 eps
Sahil Misra
2023-12-14 00:07:20 +0000 UTCTrue Detective, Season 1.
richard wilkinson
2023-12-14 00:02:48 +0000 UTCNot many seem to be mentioning it so i'll throw in support for Barry. And for an anime, Monster would be the clear choice imo
Sahil Misra
2023-12-14 00:02:18 +0000 UTCJust passing by to join the choir asking for One Piece live action
Camelot B
2023-12-14 00:00:39 +0000 UTCTTT It is what I was going to say, but was afraid people coming to beat me up in the comment section xD It doesn't matter how long is the source material, the Live Action has only one season with 8 episodes and adapts a hole arc, people can even watch just first season if they don't want continue... It's the perfect timming to start it (not to mention how much LM would love it)
Camelot B
2023-12-13 23:55:40 +0000 UTCOn imdb the show is only 3 places behind the Expanse in the Top TV Show Ranking. How crazy that I haven't heard of the show either.
Robert H.
2023-12-13 23:53:08 +0000 UTCIf you're just going off the GOATs, you need to watch Sopranos as you've now done Breaking Bad and The Wire. Easy choice.
Scott
2023-12-13 23:50:28 +0000 UTCI need to rewatch it, I watched so many years ago and I was so young... I barely remember anything xD
Camelot B
2023-12-13 23:50:14 +0000 UTCI only recently discovered Nana and it's really great. Some might complain about the open ending, but the show was great. Also, the author is back to drawing after being hospitalized for almost 15 years, which could mean a continuation of the story.
Robert H.
2023-12-13 23:49:19 +0000 UTCThey will, I think the poll is for a Live Action show
Camelot B
2023-12-13 23:47:24 +0000 UTCIt would be 4, because this show would replace The Wire (2 times the week). But they have said several times that they want to keep two live-action and two anime shows as their schedule.
Robert H.
2023-12-13 23:43:09 +0000 UTCI realise this will never get picked as a show to react to on the channel because of being kinda lesser known and in Italian but you should watch My Brilliant Friend in your own time. It's one of the best written shows I've watched and think you both would love it

Dante
2023-12-13 23:37:21 +0000 UTCStanding on the Black Sails hill until I die. I think it would be such a cool change of pace compared to the shows they've been watching recently. I feel like The Sopranos and Mad Men, while I know they'd love those shows and I do as well, fall in a similar vein to BB, BCS, The Wire, even Mr. Robot. I think, like The Expanse, Black Sails would be a really refreshing show and they would obviously love it as well. Mad Men and The Sopranos are also over twice the length of Black Sails which is another thing to keep in mind. Black Sails would be finished in 19 weeks with 2 a week. Sopranos 43 weeks and Mad Men 46 weeks.
Dante
2023-12-13 23:35:05 +0000 UTCbut during the Q&A they said something about that show's characters and I've watched it for that reason. I'll check tomorrow
Yū Nishinoya
2023-12-13 23:31:56 +0000 UTCAddition: Frieren still has 57 unadapted chapters after season 1 (rough estimate) and will get another 100 chapters, at least, before the story is over. Kaguya-sama still has 144 unadapted manga chapters, so it will probably get 3 more seasons. Jujutsu-Kaisen still has over 100 unadapted manga chapters, so will probably also get 3 more seasons. Demon Slayer has about 70 unadapted manga chapters, will get 2 more seasons, although I'm still convinced that Demon Slayer won't appeal to them. Bocchi the Rock also seems to be getting a movie and a second season. And since they would like to watch a show in its entirety without waiting for further seasons and content, I would have put the here mentioned shows on the waiting list for now. Haikyuu is also a bit up in the air for me because of this. The Final Part 1 comes out in February 2024, The Final Part 2 Part 1 has no date yet, but should come out in February 2025 at the latest, but The Final Part 2 Part 2 is so far away that it could be bad for them to get to know all the characters in Haikyuu over the time Jul 2024 - Jun 2025, but then sometime later for real Final to get back to them.
Robert H.
2023-12-13 23:29:50 +0000 UTCOne Piece Live-Action will be the best because it's only 8 episodes and you will end it right in time for the Avatar Live-Action Netflix series.

2023-12-13 23:14:46 +0000 UTCHell’s Paradise is good and I’d think they’d like it but I would wait, the manga is short and the show already adopted half of it, in a year or so the second half will come out and the whole thing will be finished. Otherwise I’m all about RoK supremacy

2023-12-13 23:13:31 +0000 UTCYes, you are right. So this will be the show replacing The Wire. That makes sense.

2023-12-13 23:08:21 +0000 UTCWhile I would love if it ends up being Black Sails for all the reasons other commenters have recommended it. It's got everything you girls seem to love in a show and have mentioned considering it in the past. However I'll recommend two of my favorite shows of the past few years that get no love despite being incredible Station Eleven and Silo. I haven't really seen any reaction content for either and it's a shame because I think both are worthy of exploring. I think the compelling characters and rich themes go along with stories that would really interest you girls. Just my two cents.

2023-12-13 22:55:25 +0000 UTCMost people have probably not noticed: The show that is supposed to replace The Wire is supposed to be a live action show, not an anime. Only in June or July, after HxH and Ranking of Kings, will we get the chance to push new anime shows. At the moment it will probably be something between Mad Men, Ted Laso, Sopranos, Black Sails, The Last Kingdom, For All Mankind, Narcos, Barry and Fargo. Haikyuu and Monster will probably fight for the place after HxH, maybe Spy x Family, Fruits Basket or Steins Gate (please don't...) will join them. Mushishi, Natsume or Naruto in the Oceaniz Cut (approx. 90 episodes) would be a surprise. And the anime after Ranking of Kings is somehow still completely open. I see a lot of possible options here: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Eighty Six, Odd Taxi, Your Lie in April, Ping Pong the Animation, Pluto, Berserk 1997, Tatami Galaxy, A Place Further than the Universe, The Promised Neverlands (Only Season 1), Banana Fish, Rainbow Nisha, Vivy, Usagi Drop, Cowboy Bebop, Psycho Pass (Season 1), Parasyte, Erased, ... Very many... Maybe after Ranking of Kings we could take the chance to remove a few popular anime movies from the list, like Silent Voice, Your Name, Spirit Away, Wolf Children, Grave of the Fireflies. Would be like 2 months with anime movies.

2023-12-13 22:49:08 +0000 UTCI don’t know why are people recommending anime when it’s the live action show slot that is getting a poll lol you silly people. I will be honest.. I’m down for the following three: True Detective (Season 1), The Sopranos or Black Sails. I haven’t watched Black Sails but I’ve been reading the comments and it seems like a great show so I’m willing to give it a chance.
Jack SV
2023-12-13 22:48:45 +0000 UTCFor anime reactions, I again recommend "Oshi no Ko" (please, forgive my insistence ) if you're looking for another emotional and psychological rollercoaster drama with great storytelling. It's just 11 episodes and offers some interesting commentary on today's society. Alternatively, "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" is a great choice for a heartwarming romantic comedy. Both are from the same mangaka and are slightly related as they share the same universe. They both have awesome characters.
refo44
2023-12-13 22:46:55 +0000 UTCNah I hope they react to Monster next. Volleyball with teenager drama can wait.
Jack SV
2023-12-13 22:46:03 +0000 UTCThey might consider it after finishing Hunter x Hunter, but I don't think they'll want to start a second long anime.
Merfhew
2023-12-13 22:44:56 +0000 UTCI have to recommend FARGO for a series. It is a hugely slept on series. Loosely related to the 1996 movie (which imo is a must watch before), each season of Fargo is a totally different story (so you don't need to feel pressured to watch it all) and they're all fantastic. It is now on its 5th season.

2023-12-13 22:37:12 +0000 UTCAll the folks wanting Black Sails is making me want The Sopranos, which is a better show anyway.
Aj
2023-12-13 22:36:32 +0000 UTCYou haven't asked for it but here's my tuppence on which show you could watch next based on the very little I know of your viewing preferences and sentiments. The Sopranos is a great show - one of the absolute very best shows of all time. You should watch it at some point. It's a long show to digest (minimum 13 episodes per season; the final season has 21 episodes) and it uses the traditionally episodic TV structure - unlike The Wire which is more akin to a novel with chapters. It's a big time investment but a rewarding experience. After watching The Wire you may be seeking a change of pace and not immediately want to dive into another show which explores the criminal class. I think Mad Men would be a great show for you to watch and analyse. It's definitely a change of pace and has a more compelling cast of characters in my opinion. The show creator was one of the main writers and producers for The Sopranos. It's a superb show and I'm sure you'll enjoy reacting to it but The Sopranos would probably gain you more subscribers due to its popularity. Maybe that's another variable you'll consider. Black Sails. I don't know anything about this show at all but it's very popular judging by the comments I see under The Wire reactions and it's rated highly elsewhere. So it looks like you have at least three excellent options to choose from so "even if [you] miss, [you] can't miss" to paraphrase Omar's words to Brother Mouzone. 😁
Chidi.
2023-12-13 22:35:12 +0000 UTCBlack Sails please!!
Ninaly
2023-12-13 22:34:38 +0000 UTCNah, the Live Action Version adapts ca. 100 Chapters per 8 Episodes, so It should adapt 1200 Chapters with 96 Epiosdes or 12 Seasons.

2023-12-13 22:26:01 +0000 UTCI agree. This year, I watched it and honestly, it has become one of my favorite sports anime of all time, on par with Slam Dunk. I really like the characters and the plot. Thanks to Haikyuu, I've learned to appreciate and enjoy volleyball as a sport. I think some people had already recommended it. And I hope the girls some day react to it because it's an anime with a great spirit and good vives.
refo44
2023-12-13 22:25:59 +0000 UTCI vote for "Barry"! Short, sweet, and fully complete! But if we're talking longer shows, "Black Sails" is my most anticipated!

I can already picture you guys crying and cheering with joy! You guys need happy tears after all the heartaches from other shows 😂 🙏

Sebastian
2023-12-13 22:03:25 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to the last episode of The Wire! Can't wait to see what you have to say. And, as I have been, I'm going to post about why I think Black Sails should be the next reaction series. I'm hoping it will kind of just get picked since it keeps coming in second in the polls, but even if there is a poll I hope this post will encourage people to vote for it. Black Sails is about Pirates (and those interacting with them) during the Golden Age of Piracy, but thematically it is about much more than that. I think the biggest question it asks is: What is civilization, and what does it mean to survive under it for those that it marginalizes? That of course is on top of it telling an exciting and gripping story with a big ensemble cast of characters (including some really great female characters btw). I can't rave enough about the writing itself - there are so many impactful moments of dialogue and storytelling that ties into previous moments and continues to build upon itself as it goes on. The acting is excellent across the board - even smaller characters get wonderful scenes or monologues. The show itself also looks great: it was filmed entirely on location in Cape Town, South Africa, and utilizes many practical effects (including actual giant ships that they built for filming). All of the characters are complex, and even when they do terrible things the show will somehow get you to come around and root for them again, despite it all. While it's largely serious, the show also isn't afraid to be funny: there are so many moments I can remember that made me laugh out loud and still didn't clash with the tone of the show. One of the other things Black Sails does really well is show consequences for the character's actions. There's nothing that happens in the show that doesn't have a larger ripple effect, and it's truly amazing to see how all of these branching actions by different characters can effect things, even much further down the line. If you're someone who is both fascinated by, and terrified of, the ocean, that is a feeling you will get a lot with Black Sails. While I wouldn't call it realistic in the same way The Wire is, or historically accurate (it is historical fiction after all), the way it focuses on specific details of what living like a pirate (or in this time period) would be like feels very real. You see how dangerous living on a ship is, what goes into maintaining it, how captains maintain or lose their leadership. You see what those on land have to do in order to work with/survive the pirates. And again, while it's not realistic in the same way as The Wire, I do think the social subjects it tackles and the themes it explores *are*, and continue to be felt today, even if in different ways. That's my zero spoilers pitch. For those who might want a bit more detail, here’s more in ROT13. Gurer ner zhygvcyr abg fgenvtug znva punenpgref.

I’ve mentioned in previous comments about the show that there are some content warnings to keep in mind before checking it out. It can be quite violent, and it deals with the sexism/racism/homophobia that was present in the time period. I do also have to give a warning about sexual assault. This is the only one I’ll go into detail on in ROT13. Fnvq frkhny nffnhyg cybgyvar vf rnfvyl zl ovttrfg pevgvpvfz bs gur fubj.
