Babylon Berlin streaming on Netflix is getting 5 star reviews which is well deserved. It is a German production that is dubbed over in English which works well enough. Story is fantastic. You'll learn a lot about the Weimar Republic if you look things up, and you'll learn that the Nazis didn't just pop-out-of-nowhere but were the result of, not just chaos but desires but happens when other plotters plan to overthrow the new republic and return the Kaiser to power. This alone with the communist unrest mixed in.

Is anyone watching Patrick Melrose?
Simultaneously better and worse than I hoped/expected. Worse, because even in the 5-hour format, there simply isn't time for all the signature prose from the source to play out. Better, because it seems to be rounding into a truly innovative take on the usual tales of wealth and addiction and depravity. This is because BC plays him as someone legitimately traumatized and legitimately trying to better himself. The [truly] depraved are juuuust a little more depraved, and the idiots juuuuuust a little more idiotic, and the journey juuuust a little more plausible, because, even though the intoxication scenes are dramatic, the milieu is played with restraint. The horror and tension of his childhood is palpable, although almost entirely unspoken or unremarked-upon. Last edited by Baby Lee; 05-29-2018 at 12:22 PM.. |

Enjoying The Handmaid's Tale. What a crazy scenario but somehow believable and unsettling. Brutal at times.

BTW, I forgot to say Babylon Berlin is a crime drama—mafia-like types, drug running, weapons running thriller in a historical period. So it has plotting Bolsheviks, plotting Monarchists who want to return the Kaiser to power, current Social Democrat govt, corrupt cops, flappers, transvestites and gays which were normalized during that era of debauchery and I reckon eventually Nazi's will enter. It starts around 1928/29.

It's a cross between 'the office' and 'arrested development'. it's actually not a new series at all. I don't have all night to describe all the nuances, just check it out if you feel like it... fuggin' hell... it's even funnier when i rewatch the teasers after watching the show for the first time ![]() |
