Stuff on the to-watch list

[yuuago]

There are so many series that I want to watch/rewatch some time soon - "some time soon" meaning "in the next few months or so, I guess".

Rewatches:
+ Vatican Miracle Examiner - I marathoned this while tipsy last New Years and I'm really due for another go. Maybe I'll get some new fic ideas? :D This series sure is a wild ride, though.
+ Yuri on Ice - I think it might do me good to go through this one again. It's such a light and happy show. Plus, I'm kind of in a ~figure skating~ mood, lately.
+ Anno 1790 - I've watched this series through at least three times but... it's been a while, I'm due to give it a go again. Love the characters, love the setting, I just really like this series a whole lot. Though I guess I should see if I can find any other Scandinavian historical dramas that I'll like just as much; I'm sure there are some out there.
+ Nirvana in Fire - 54 episodes is A Lot to go through, buuuut it'd be worth it, considering the series is so good and I notice new things every time I go through it. Plus, well - it's visually stunning (excluding a few silly CGI bits).

Didn't finish, want to complete:
+ Rose of Versailles - A classic! What happened here was that I started watching it, but then lost access after it was removed from the service I was using to stream it. So, I bought the discs, but haven't had time to get around to it.
+ The Terror - I was so excited for this series, since I'm a nerd for the Franklin expedition and a sucker for anything set in the arctic, but I somehow never got around to watching the damn thing. I have the episodes purchased, but they're only watchable on a device I don't usually use (my main computer can't run them), so that's a big reason why I haven't seen it yet. But I'll watch it! Eventually! [WATCHED Jan 16 2019]
+ Di Wang Gong Lue - I'm pretty sure I never got around to watching the last episode of this. What the heck?

Haven't seen yet:
+ The Haunting of Hill House series - Heard mixed reviews about this one. I'm curious! [WATCHED as of Dec 15/2018]
+ Fortitude - Crime series set in the arctic? Okay, yeah, I'm there. :D [WATCHED as of Dec 24/2018]
+ The Rain - Post-apocalyptic Scandinavia? Sounds good to me! I've heard some people mention that it reminds them of prologue-era SSSS.
+ Rise of Phoenixes - Chinese costume drama; I don't really know anything else about it. My mom was glued to the screen for this one, and while we don't always share taste, the way she couldn't stop watching it reminded me of how I reacted to NiF. Worth a try, maybe? (Or perhaps I'll just enjoy some eye candy.)
+ The Exorcist series - Well, I like the film, and I keep hearing that the series is pretty damn good. I'll give it a go eventually! [WATCHED as of Feb 24/2019]

Wow, that's a lot. Likelihood that I'll get around to covering all of this is small. However, considering how much knitting I plan to be doing, maybe I'll watch more than I usually would. It's easier for me to watch things when I have something to do with my hands, otherwise I get so bored, even if the story is engaging.

This is a formidable list! I've watched The Haunting of Hill House and I loved it a lot omg.

[yuuago]

I'm looking forward to it! :D Probably will tackle it soon, just to see if it's as good as everyone is saying.

I'm watching Rise of Phoenixes right now! It shares a lot of commonalities with NiF but I'm not getting the same emotional response to it. Which is to say, it hasn't taken over my brain but I'm still enjoying it a lot. The two leads are very very attractive.

:D Good to have another data point on this one! Sounds like something I'll be able to enjoy without getting sucked into yet another fandom.

I plan on eventually getting around to The Haunting of Hill House! There's so many good shows that get released; hard to keep up with them all!

[yuuago]

Ahh please do say what you think of it once you get around to it! Have you read the novel it was based on? '3'

[merit]

I haven't, no. I've read some of Jackson's other work though.

My to watch is somewhat like yours. Hopefully I eventually get to it!

Ooh, been seeing a lot of Haunting of Hill Houses gifsets on the blue hellsite lately! It looks like a really aesthetically pleasing show. (That's one thing I will miss about tumblr, it was so easy to make gifsets.) Let us know how it is!

[yuuago]

Definitely will do! o7 I'm tempted to give the original book a re-read after I'm done with the series, too.
