I just looked it up. It's certainly indie. Netflix essentially was a sponsor for a contest by distributing.
These directors were given a budget of less than 100K.

Came out this week. I just finished the fourth story (which I'm not sure if I understand, I may need to do some research but I'm fascinated by the visuals). The third story is a masterpiece in simple storytelling on domestic violence that makes a huge impact.

Or even Paramount Plus.
I watched the first season all at once when there was a sale on showtime. It was the only thing on the network.
Are this many people paying $8-11 a month for Showtime?

Nah. . . .
My husband had below a 3.0 and got into UM for an MBA, one of the top MBA programs in the country. If you are going to get a research based graduate degree right after your undergrad then grades matter. If you plan on getting a basic masters at some point then it doesn't matter.

She loves her war zones. Go back to Scotland Claire. Or move to England, England is safe.

They're not even creating it. It's all in the source material.

If you're in the romance space (as opposed to women's fiction or romantic fiction) it's the norm because a HEA is required for it to be really called romance.

I've become a big fan of romance series where each book in the series has new characters and maybe there's a bit of a story that continues. I'm ten books into a romance series right now and it feels fresh because I get new characters each time. So many writers essentially end up writing their own fanfiction when they can't end their stories.

That's where the series should have ended, or even better right after she travels back and meets Jamie in the bookshop (then give us a sex filled epilogue where they live happily ever after).
Then it basically becomes fan fiction of iteself. The author should have done a spinoff where the daughter while trying to go see her mother ends up traveling back way to far and meets a Viking.

Oh, but she had sex with the boyfriend and then the rapist within days so it was just maybe a rapist baby.
Later they find a birthmark and decide that it must be the now husband's baby. Then they for some reason decide to stay in the past instead of going someplace where there is hygene and indoor plumbing.

The show is perfect if you stop at the end of season two, maybe season three.

It's coming from the books. At least the first couple seasons.

Now every character will be gang raped because one rapist wasn't enough.

They're just expelled to a different type of school if they are. Kids have a right to be educated. If he'd been at Wendy's rather than a school. . . .
This is the best thing (outside of taking the guns away) that could have been done. I suspect they prevented something much worse from happening.

I'd love if they just put an icon if the show is dubbed.
They dub a lot of shows after release but they never announce when they are dubbed.

It's bad, and the violence is geared twards a high school student which makes it harder.

From what I've read it seems more like the creators only did Shadow and Bones because they liked The Six of Crows.

I dropped it because of that.
I think the split seasons are good for these top shows. A month long break between episodes.

Even different burial options. The Catholic Church went against eco-burials because even having the option for other people was wrong for them.

One of the episodes just flew over my head because I didn't understand what was going on. But, it was still beautifully filmed.
