I really want to see the show with Drew Barrymore because it sounds like a dark comedy which I enjoy. Stranger Things is a hit and another I want to see but, in both cases, I don’t have Netflix or HBO or wherever else they show it because I just have regular cable.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667410643073985006.post-30726583858000530972018-10-25T23:59:17.441+02:002018-10-25T23:59:17.441+02:00We sort of have the same pick in Twin Peaks but I ...We sort of have the same pick in <i>Twin Peaks</i> but I went with the original series but not the revival (which I haven't seen yet as I still have unfinished business with the second season).thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667410643073985006.post-36401799856483419492018-10-25T18:57:02.497+02:002018-10-25T18:57:02.497+02:00We match on Stranger Things!

I've heard of the other two but haven't watched a minute of either. The Drew Barrymore one sounds disturbing.<br /><br />This isn't really my area of viewing expertise so I had to reach back a bit to come up with three that I was familiar with. I thought of American Horror Story which I tried to get into but it's just too much for me.<br /><br />Dark Shadows (1966-1971)-The first and probably only daytime horror soap opera. Young governess Victoria Winters arrives at the Collins' estate-Collinwood, in Collinsport, Maine. Greeted by shut-in matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (40’s film noir queen Joan Bennett) and other various members of the family including cousin Barnabas Collins (Jonathan Frid) and the seemingly sweet but truly evil Angelique (Lara Parker). She is soon plunged into a world of strange occurrences and terrifying happenings that includes vampires, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. Enormously popular in its day this spawned a couple of theatrical features during its run, an unsuccessful relaunch in prime time in the 80’s and the Tim Burton misfire.<br /><br />Cop Rock (1990)-A police drama in musical form! Truly peculiar show that tried to blend those two disparate elements. For example in the premiere as the judge addresses the jury they rise as one and sing the verdict-“He’s Guilty”-Gospel style! There’s also dancing shootouts and harmonizing lineups! In the late 80’s no one was a hotter ticket in TV than producer Steven Bochco following the successes of Hill Street Blues & L.A. Law and he had achieved a level of carte blanche rarely achieved. This is what he did with it? It has been cited as both one of the 50 Worst TV Shows of All Time and the single most bizarre TV musical ever.<br /><br />American Gothic (1995-1996)-Taking place in the town of Trinity, South Carolina the story revolves around the seemingly good natured but corrupt Sheriff Lucas Buck (Gary Cole), a murderous rapist manipulating people to "fulfil their potential" usually towards evil pursuits by way of supernatural powers. His main goal is to control and mold Caleb Temple (Lucas Black) into his image. Dark secrets abound including the fact that Caleb is Buck’s son via a rape committed in front of Caleb's older sister Merlyn (Sarah Paulson), who is murdered in cold blood by Buck in the first episode but whose ghost guides Caleb aided by the town’s newly arrived Dr. Crower (Jake Weber) and Caleb’s out-of-town cousin Gail Emory (Paige Turco). Pitch black, truly eerie and brilliantly acted especially by Cole and Black this was conceived by Shaun Cassidy of all people and ex-produced by Sam Raimi. Sadly it only lasted one season.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
