I looked on the tracker, and didn't see anything since the 2023 TV/Movie Discussion thread, so I decided to create one for 2024.
Soo....what are you watching these days?
My original impetus for posting were these two new shows:
Shogun so far has been great. It's on cable on F/X, and streaming on Hulu, but since it's on cable, episodes are only available week-to-week. They're up through Episode 5 of 10 right now, and the first four have been fantastic. A few changes from the books, but nothing really major to this point. A favorite book of mine, so the Game of Thrones style budget and cinematic feel have been welcomed.
Haven't even seen this trailer yet (I'm at work), but I read a review on this, and it sounds interesting. Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem was a fantastic sci-fi read. One of the most difficult parts of the book, though, was that it was set in China, and the names made it harder for western audiences to follow, even with a Dramatis Personae in the front matter. (It really broke immersion having to refer back to that every so often.) The Netflix show is set in Oxford, so that difficulty has been removed. The story was so good, though, that I'm really looking forward to this, which is good, as it dropped today on Netflix. Check it out!
But since this is a new thread covering 2024, I gotta say that Dune 2 has me excited. Yes, I know, it's been out for a bit, but I have kids, so it's not easy to go watch a movie opening weekend. We're trying to work a rewatch of the first Dune movie in and take the kids (11 and 14) with us, so that might be fun. Hope to see it on the big screen soon!
All that said, what are you all watching?
