#Carnival Row
So far I'm enjoying it, I'm at episodes 3 now, Cara Delevingne dope sex scene cheesy

Nawao..... she's gay in real life cry

O2tv get the most useless video quality ND na the HD wey dem add join Dy pain me pass, people Dy try download for there o but no more useless ad again for dere

Keep going bro, this is just the beginning, you will get to enjoy it the more as things starts unfolding and you begin to find out things for yourself. It gets to a stage where you will then become very very emotional, i was almost close to tears self.
When you get to the emotional stage, let me know grin very painful scene to watch.
And the soundtrack is soul terrifying.
Till today the soundtrack of carnival row hunts my soul.
I fly for you. My child, my son Sweet dreams to you my only one. cry
Soon you will understand why this lyrics is used in the series.
Just keep going.

actually the issue isn't about female protagonists...the issue is they aren't written well...

How to get away with murder had Annalise Keating and we loved it...
Look at The Villainess, a Korean action movie from a few years ago...with a female lead but I enjoyed it cos she was well written...there are still a few shows or movies with well written female leads...

It's just that it's hard for Hollywood to write good female leads nowadays...
Most of the good ones I've seen are either from years ago or from other countries...
Feels like Hollywood is more focused on female empowerment than writing a good female lead character
I will have to agree with you.
You are right. I thought the other guy was talking about series in general.
Other countries like Spain, Korea, France and co had block buster Series with women as lead roles except for Hollywood with nonsense script writing.
I doubt if we are ever going to see Hollywood Series with female leads like zena ( warrior princess)
The 100.
And so many old good series.

lol I'm also waiting for Kingdom season 3...
Especially after watching the Special episode abi movie...
I hated anything Zombie series before Kingdom...
It's been like three years now and no talk of season 3 at all.
This is one thing i don't like about Netflix.
If it was in HBO or Amazon, even before the airing of the last episode of season two, they already started the shooting of season 4 with season 3 already done and dusted.

Neflix keep renewing shittty series.
How many times have they renewed series like Elites and yet Series like kingdom is still hanging out there.

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by OhBritannia(m): 5:40pm On Mar 19, 2022
Guys!!! There is something I've noticed about the women when it comes to Series.
I don't really watch movies, i don't even remember the last time i watch a movie.
90% of my television time has been series so as a series addict. I have noticed that British actresses are better actresses than actresses in USA.
The women from the UK are better actresses than their counterparts from America.
I don't know if i am the only one that have noticed this.
They are not only better but they have better uses of the English words, like they speak like poets, they don't just speak English but they pick their words with Grammer and poetry like they are very very very educated women.

Xena is actually feminist bullshit if it debuts in today's world. It had a beautiful story back then and good cast, especially Jasper, Ares and Gabrielle. But things started tilting to weak plot and ridiculousness as the seasons progressed. S1-S4 would be it's best seasons.
It's success is probably because it was the first of its kind back then and no focus on sjw panderings.


But if I watch that show now, lol, I go dey smh for myself. grin
I'm hearing of a possible reboot sef. undecided

This argument is neither here nor there, show me a very good British actress and I will raise you 10 American actresses who are better. Not negating British series or British actresses but America was, is, and will continue to be the main hub of entertainment worldwide, and that's while American award shows for entertainment (Oscars, Emmy, Grammy) have a worldwide traction, even them British actress and actors want an American movie or series in their CV than anything else.

Angles and Saxons which form the British in the 5th century are the literally the founders of the "English" language and taught every other person the language including America, so of course they will have a good command of it.

No you are wrong.
Naturally British women are exposed to acting at a very young age.
I don't really know about the British culture but from what i have seen so far, i think theater and stage acting are parts of their culture which is more natural acting and more natural talent.

America deals more on editing and camera work a lot, most famous actresses in America ain't really talented, it is the industry that just decided to push them.
If you are on Reddit and Quora you will see Many people actually call these famous America actresses talentless, even those with Emmys and Oscars.
They are Just favoured by the industry.
However British women are naturalized actresses, theater arts and theater drama is part of their culture even in schools.
This is why they always portrays stage dramas in almost all their series.
There are actresses who ain't famous in television but are famous on theater drama in the UK..
And yes the reason why people go to America is because America is the hub of entertainment in the world however there are Series very famous series that the lead roles are British women.
I can name many famous and epic America series that the lead roles are British women.

True Xena became weak as the season progresses, i don't know why they had Many seasons instead of just ending it at the right Time but overall it's still a Great series..
The women that played the lead roles, really killed their roles.

As per the bold.
Any reboot of Xena then they are just going to destroy our childhood memories of Zena.
They better not provoke the audience.
They should Just leave it as it is.
This is how they have been trying to portray actors as Merlin in some Series but it woefully backfired.

We all know there is only one Merlin which we love, any other Merlin again will backfire.
Just imagine a new sword series and the actor is called Ragnar.
Like who the fork are you to be called Ragnar?

I can name many famous and epic America series that the lead roles are British women.
Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence.. mention 7 British actress that are better than these lots...The only British actress imo that has really carved a niche and has gone proper mainstream is probably Kate Winslet.

Early child acting is not exclusive to the British, Theatre and Stage Acting is a part of most countries active in the entertainment scene. It's "Broadway" a joke to you? I don't even know how vast you are in the Nigerian entertainment scene, but stage acting and theatre was a big thing in the 70's and 80's, Playwright were raking in money through weekly back then, so theatre and stage acting goes round.

Reddit is a faceless forum, and people trash talk anything on there good or bad, so saying American actresses aren't really talented is a big lie and you probably saw it in one fallacious subred.

So am I chilling and waiting for you to mention these epic American series that British actresses were lead.

Merlin to the best of my knowledge is a fictional/ mythical character and has been adopted in many stories. It can and has been retold in many form as the narrator pleases as well as the Arthurian Legend.
Fyi, DC also has its own Merlin and he's a very prominent character in the magical realm. You might come across him in the upcoming Madame X series from HBOMax.

Ragnar's Legendary status and his sometimes mythical retellings makes him accessible to different portrayals. Any one can portray Ragnar. So far it's good I don't mind. Tho they might be comparisons. What you need to understand is that there are some characters that will be retold times without number throughout history. You know Ragnar now, kids born in the next 20yrs won't. That's where reboot or retellings work. Dracula has been retold many times with different flavor and peeps still can't enough.

At times reboot of a series or movie come out better than the original. It just depends on how well it's done and it's creative team. Eg Jack Reacher...the series was better and an honest portrayal of the character. Suicide Squad vs TSS, arguably Jumanji, The Jurassic franchise etc.

That's why said imo and only one out of the three has An Oscar, an Emmy and even a Grammy. Kate Winslet is a tad above these two you mentioned, in acting prowess. I might agree that Helena Bonham Carter probably has more range than Kate Winslet but Kate is clear in every other department...Emily Blunt is nowhere close.
