The explosion of streaming apps and new platforms has produced a deluge of new original programming; this curated guide aims to be the one-stop resource to help figure out what to watch next.
The growing volume of new television shows being released paired with the exponential proliferation of new streaming services make it increasingly hard to figure out what to watch. This new guide, spearheaded by television authority Liane Bonin Starr and an international team of critics, is a timely and welcome aid in winnowing the “must see” from the “don’t bother.” It is a curated selection of the most important and groundbreaking shows from past decades and the best new and buzzworthy series created in the age of streaming. It covers a wide range of genres across the spectrum and across various streaming services, from beloved favorites and classics to more obscure yet acclaimed foreign programs that are worth discov-ering, such as moody Scandinavian police procedurals and K-dramas. Organized by moods and moments, it is easy to find something romantic for date night, a dramedy to enjoy with BFFs, or sitcoms to binge during your next quarantine.
Interessantes Buch, dessen Aufteilung in Serien nach Stimmung recht gelungen ist. Größtenteils ist mir das Buch, abseits von einigen Animes, jedoch etwas zu sehr auf US-amerikanische Live-Action-Serien fokussiert. Ich hätte mir auch ausführlichere Reviews der Autor*innen gewünscht, anstatt immer wieder auf die Meinung einiger ausgewählten Zeitungen zu verweisen.
It’s difficult reading this king book from cover to cover (which I actually tried to do) but it makes a great reference book. In addition to the short summary and commentary, they give icons to guide you towards the perfect movie to suit your mood.
Unfortunately I disagreed with many of the reviews, which would make it difficult for me to trust their choices. However, it’s probably a good starting point.
