Dr. Who episode with the werewolves of Scotland. That the queen of England was a werewolf.

Pretty much all of Doctor Who history is superior to what we actually got. Trust me, I'm an expert 😉

I enjoyed Man In the High Castle but have heard the finale is horrible. Plot against America is also great.

I enjoyed the first season. After that I quickly lost interest.

[-] echoplex21@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think the second season was the peak and the third was also good. Honestly the first season to me out of the three was the weakest as it dealt way too much with the love triangle.

It was truly disappointing.

The ones where all the burnt texts such as the Mayan codices and Manichaean scriptures are found stashed away somewhere and we get to see what everyone was actually afraid of.

The commercials in the film were an excellent addition.

That the USA was a place where hard work and determination led to great lives. That was true for exactly one generation and they pulled the ladder up behind them.
