Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I started watching a show that is over the top violent, and the usual hbo overkill with predictable sex, I fast forward the sex because , well, it's not my thing at 73, and I find it boring, like a commercial, and, it is, as I said, predictable. The fight scenes are amazing and it is full of suspense. The name of the series is Banshee, and it is good and fast and has great acting, it's a twist on good guy vs bad guy and I guess how a man tries to redeem himself because of love, but just keeps getting himself deeper into shit, as he tries to right the wrongs in a small town. It;s been out a long time and I just stumbled on it when I had a need to escape in the evening. As they say in New England, it's wicked good. It has been out long enough because it started in 2015 or 14, so I do not think you have to subscribe to anything other than maybe pay for the series, it's also on Youtube. The actor portrays the character of a manly man, but for those who are sensitive to some things, I respectfully add it probably is not everyone;s cup of tea. I just found that for some odd reason, it helped me with some depression to get out of my own head. I guess I would rate the violence and sex on par with Game of Thrones, or any "modern" depiction of crime and violence.
Lonesome Dove did, another favorite. I liked first 2 Fargo series. I will check out Korean stuff, I don't watch too many films or shows from other countries, I did watch a Brazillian series called 8% (I think), and I loved that Korean sci fi which I do not remember the name, but it had to do with a monster in a river that terrorized the beach community. It was good. There are other series I turned off after 1 or 2 episodes because of them going nowhere and just not very interesting. I tend to like shows that have that rural mystery going on, with lots of shots of landscapes and heroes dealing with inner turmoil, fighting their own demons.
wowser thank you !!!!!!!
