So Keen On...

Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) Three seasons (18+)

Stars: Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, Josh Hartnett

'Explorer Sir Malcolm Murray, American gunslinger Ethan Chandler, scientist Victor Frankenstein, and medium Vanessa Ives unite to combat supernatural threats in Victorian London.'

Vampires, witches, Dorian Gray, etc... - created and written by John Logan, so do not be surprised if some lines from the Alien Covenant script appear in the episodes of the show.

'This show is definitely not your average telling of famous stories (vampires, Dorian Gray) as it takes the most gruesome aspects of those tales and incorporates them in whatever manner suits the storyline; Penny Dreadful does not shy away from the taboo, something that has been plaguing certain stories such as Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. This show loves the grotesque and downright sinister nature of storytelling and can depend on its actors to do the job right.'

 The Orville (2017-...) is a much better science-fiction series.

Fantastic show!

dk - There are so many fantastic and exciting shows and movies it is impossible to enjoy all of them - we have no time for them. :/

If you like Scandinavian thrillers, this is one of my favs:

The Absent One (2014)

'The murder of young twins initially implicates a group of upper class students as the killers, though the case takes a turn or two from its starting point.'

May be a bit odd for someone who likes Alien movies but the last really interesting movie i watched was Ernest & Celestine. I really liked that one.

Maybe I'm get'n soft on my old days. XD

Pretty keen on The Giver. 2014 movie based on the 1993 Lois Lowry book.

In an orderly black and white world, an individual starts to see color. Uh Oh!!!

@dk, what a plot! Loved it :)

Animal Farm never really gets old. The short book is best imo, but the Hallmark movie is pretty darn cool. It is possibly the darkest fable ever written. One of Orwell's best.
