snek_boiWhat's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?
Jo Miran- A&E’s Nero Wolfe
- Agatha Christie’s Poirot (with David Suchet)
- The Expanse
- Star Trek: TNG
- Fleabag (season 2 is a masterpiece, and I don’t throw that word around)
- For All Mankind
- Archane (season 1 is another masterpiece)
- Penny Dreadful (it dips in quality in the later seasons, but worth it for the Frankenstein’s monster story alone)
EDIT:
- Coupling (UK) - Thr first two seasons
- Keeping Up Appearances
- IT Crowd
I started Arcane, and pretty soon I felt like they were just ripping off a lot from the 80’s Shuiten and Peeter’s graphic novels, that I just quit.
80’s Shuiten and Peeter’s graphic novels
Those seem to borrow Mœbius’ earlier style, which was defining for French and Belgian comics since the seventies. So it’s rather ironic of you to say that it’s S&P who were ‘ripped off’.
I don’t concur. I believe you are talking more of graphic style, while I’m talking more about the worldbuilding, the ambiance, the conceptual, pre-steampunk visual language. While Shuiten is a sort of Ligne Claire extremist, I find Moebius very difficult, if not impossible, to classify. He is often called Ligne Claire, but his style is often very gritty, and his protrayal of movement is clearly inspired by Franquin, the master of movement. Moebius has such an ability to move between styles, while keeping his personality, that makes him very difficult to classify.
