TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Other than the season where a character unnamed died, it was good. Liev Schreiber said there will be an ending. It got cancelled after season 7 but apparently someone will pick it up. I liked Avi a lot. He was in Scarface.

Not sure if you get this in Canada, but here in Sweden both Netflix and HBO now offer Unknown Soldier, a Finnish movie that is often referred to as one of the most realistic war films of all time, as a five episode TV series. If you can find it - watch it!



The book, that was written by Väinö Linna, who himself fought in the Continuation War against the Soviet Union, is a Finnish classic but caused a major stir when it came out as the Finnish soldiers, as described in his book, were not heroic. They were normal people with fears, obsessions, gambling and drinking habits, who just happened to be sent into battle. At the time it was considered almost treasonous to portray them as such flawed characters, but today we hail it as an unusually honest and realistic depiction of soldiers in war.

It has been filmed at least three times, in 1955, 1987 and 2017 (iirc) and all three films are masterpieces and definitely worth watching. Naturally, special effects have improved, but the book/script is so good that all three are worth the watch. The TV-series available now is basically an extended version of the 2017 movie, cut into five pieces. Strongly recommended. Almost all main characters die. It's shitty, dirty and pointless. except, they're fighting for the survival of their nation. Vibes of Private Ryan.

Amazingly, everyone is talking about how much they hated that show. I simply never watched it.
But we only had two channels back then, so I guess some people just remained seated in front of the telly even though they hated what they saw... :lol:

I guess some people here might like it though...it was all about sock puppets... :wink:
