BM/WW IR sightings on TV

[Young Herschel]

If I can make a suggestion . . . try "Pillars of the Earth" on Starz!! If you haven't seen it yet that is because George RR Martin was clearly influenced by New York Times #1 Best-selling author Ken Follet who published his Magnum Opus in the late 80's. You could make the argument that George "borrowed" some plot points for his 1996 publication of "A Game of Thrones". That would be my suggestion anyway and then you can watch the sequel series . . . "World without End" which is also very good. There is a third book in the Ken Follet "cathedral" series but it doesn't have a TV adaptation as of yet.

"Pillars of the Earth" is a cable TV adaptation of the historical war ~ "The Infamy" that serves as the inspiration for GRRM's Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon ~

The recently departed Donald Sutherland stars in this masterpiece in one of his better roles as a Lord and knight. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne also plays a key role as does Rufus Sewell, Tony Currran, Ian McShane, David Oakes and Hayley Atwell. If medieval fiction is your fix . . . check this out and its sequel series ~ "World without End":

Blood and Violence, Lust and Passion, Betrayal and Opportunism all abound as well as naturally-beautiful women in plot-integrated scenes of lust or love in these mini-series by Tandem Productions.

While we're at it, what do think about the recently cancelled Epix/MGM+ Ancient Rome-based drama series "Domina"?:

I'm thinking about jumping into "Domina" next instead of "The Serpent Queen" after I'm done getting caught up on "Snowpiercer".

I saw it when it aired. Sky television is producing it so maybe Amazon told MGM+ to end their partnership?!? I really enjoyed the first few episodes but it didn't live up to its auspicious initial episodes. They time jump alot and the names are so similar that it got confusing at times. An actress from "The Spanish Princess" plays the young protagonist Livia Drusilla and she is HOT!!

They excluded some characters that would have enhanced the series like Cleopatra's daughter for whatever reason (she is included in "Rome") and I struggled to keep track of what the various relationships were among the characters. I had to watch HBO's "Rome" to get a better sense of what was what . . . or rather who should be with who.

"Rome" is better than "Domina" and HBO definitely spent more money than MGM did. "Domina" is much more serious than "The Serpent Queen" as it does not have any comic relief characters at all. It will leave you longing for more action and less talking though. "The Serpent Queen" has more activity I think than "Domina" did.

I noticed that "Domina" season 2 has a 90% Rotten Tomatoes audience score compared to only 71% for season 1. Maybe it got better in the 2nd season?

I enjoyed the first three episodes the most and that was season one. They time jump more than a little . . . I guess they had budget restrictions. Season two more betrayals and plotting but never got back to being as good as early season one in my educated assessment. I wanted it to be successful but I think "Rome" has better action and characters. You might enjoy it though . . . did you enjoy "Rome"?!? "Domina" has much more talking and off screen action by comparison.

Are you talking about the British actress Nadia Parkes? If so she's been in a few on screen bmww projects

That's her with Clinton Liberty who plays Adam Waters of Hull on "House of the Dragon" in "This is Christmas". Great catch!!!! She know she sexy and it's great to hear she has done holiday interracial content. It was a Sky Cinema production not Hallmark so it probably takes place in the United Kingdom with its predominantly British cast. It is available on Prime Video so I am going to buy it if need be.

@Jeffrey Tripp Looks like you were wrong. So far I've watched every episode of the new "Emily in Paris" 3rd season, EXCEPT for the season finale, and Emily & Alfie have been a couple all season. So if any of y'all watched the 2nd season for the Emily & Alfie 'ship, you might as well watch the new 3rd season even if you still think Emily & Gabriel will be endgame.

Yeah it went way better than I thought it would and their chemistry was on display in a major way.

Spoiler

I'm glad he was the one that walked away and with his dignity intact. But this is yet another case of a White guy being "the one".

I don't think any of us were planning on bothering with the new season 4 of "Emily in Paris" seeing as how the season 3 finale played out. But based on this cast press tour interview clip I just saw, looks like Alfie is back for Season 4 & the love triangle is still ongoing:

Emily in Paris stars Lucien Laviscount and Ashley Park, who play Alfie and Mindy, discuss all the twists and drama from part 1 of season 4.

I hate love triangles, it seems like they prolonging this brother getting his heartbroken again. It's clear they got the White dude pegged as her true love or whatever so just put them together then. It's the same message over and over when it comes to Black men on these shows and in the media in general and i'm sick of it been sick of it.

Yeah when has a Black Guy won the Love Triangle. Only time I can think of his Hart of Dixie...where Lavon basically got to pick which white girl he wanted in a Love Square type situation.

The thing is unfortunately there is an audience that loves seeing that. Something wrong with them people if you ask me. lol.

But as we have pointed out on here before with this thing this is one of several ways they exercise racial dominance and humiliation. It's really straight out of The Birth Of A Nation playbook but people are too willfully ignorant to how racism and white supremacy works especially how it's incorporated in pop culture to catch on.

BTW, Here's the trailer for "Emily in Paris" Season 4, Part 1:

Get ready to chic things up...Emily in Paris Season 4: Part 1 premiering on August 15 followed by Part 2 on September 12; only on Netflix.

Based strictly on this trailer, Gabriel still looks like end game for Emily. But they're still gonna drag da fucc out of & use every last mileage of the love triangle.

I'm completely tuning that show the fuck out. I'm giving it no energy.

@Young Herschel What do you think about this show starring Kelly Reilly that aired on Amazon Prime & Epix in the U.S., "Britannia"?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia_(TV_series)

 

[darkcurry]

Though it's an affair these 2 are having. This is really done well.


A little fact about this show: This is Natalie Portman's first starring role in a TV show.

Not feeling the vibe of the concept from the trailer. Feels kind of Them:Covenant-ish

But it looks like she is either having an affair with the brotha or it was a One Night Stand. (kissing scene at 2:02)

As I guessed it's an affair these 2 (Maddie & Ferdie) are having.

A little fact about this show: This is Natalie Portman's first starring role in a TV show.

Really well presentation of the Ferdie Black Male Character despite it being an affair.

She's separated from her husband and doesn't live with him.

I wanted to enjoy it. It was one of Prime Video's original programs back in 2017. It has its moments but ultimately disappointed me. I don't want to ruin it for others but most here will agree . . . when that infamous scene happens in season three . . . I said I'm out!!!!!!

Enjoy the first two seasons though especially the beginning of season two which was absolutely hilarious featuring the brother in-laws . . . that scene in itself transcends anything of comic value I have EVER seen on a historical fiction cable series.

 

[ColiBreh1]

There is a show called The Lady In The Lake and Natalie Portman has a Black love interest.

Not feeling the vibe of the concept from the trailer. Feels kind of Them:Covenant-ish

They hook up second episode, four episode out.

Can't watch any more episodes until I come back from my business trip

I just looked up "The Lady In The Lake" on JustWatch & saw it's only a miniseries. OK, I'm in.

 

[darkcurry]

She's separated from her husband and doesn't live with him.

It's playing out as an affair. The dynamics of their relationship is a soon to be divorce woman meeting up with a Black Police Officer for casual sex. Recipe for something more with Ferdie buuuuut....

Can't trust these screenwriters and producers who keeps the white guy around when a IR is happening with a black man. Also Milton didn't want to settle divorce until

Spoiler

he met somebody. Remember he sprung that on Maddie.

I'm curious who would be the audience that loves seeing this. Like what demographics would these love triangles appeal to? And I agree something is wrong with them whomever they are.

Also, these shows don't just do this with black characters but other POC characters also. This was done in the first season of friends when Ross was dating a asian girl and Rachel was dating a Hispanic man. Both POC characters were essentially used as plot devices for Rachel and Ross to get together.

@Young Herschel What did you think about the WGN series "Salem"?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_(TV_series)

I liked that show much MUCH more than "Britannia". It kinda lost me in the last season but the first season was EVERYTHING. I was so surprised it was on WGN (seemed like an FX series with its MA sex and horror elements) and somewhat saddened that it was NOT released in the October. That would have been a no-brainer for marketing purposes. The story was intriguing and those characters were captivating. By the end of the second episode you will be hooked!!! Check it out on jailbreak firestick if only for the first few episodes but the entire first few seasons were good as well. By the end of the second episode I was 100% engaged and you will be too!!
