Actually, it was our quick read two years ago, check this link below:
Brokeback Mountain

Little Fires Everywhere Want to nominate this upcoming series for the Drama section as well as Sharp Objects another great mini series. Is it me or we might be missing another recent nominees? I didn't find Dr. Sleep in the list for example. Anyhow, I'm not 100% percent sure where to put these, lol but I just saw the newly released trailer for Little Fires everywhere and I think it could be the next Big Little Lies (season 1 :P)

You are absolutely right - I totally forgot to update this thread. Will do it now, sorry! In any case, you can add your noms to the posts we have opened for each of our genres (and here, of course).

Here is one link having them all in one place: About genre selection

Now I realized also that we do not have a genre selected for April. Will give a new poll at once. Thanks for putting this post up :)

Added Little Fires Everywhere to the list, Sharp Objects was already nominated in the Drama section, so that was covered :)

So sorry! I created lots of work for you! :) Thank you for always working hard for the group!

Don't worry, my fault totally, if I did it regularly every month, there wouldn't be as much "work" to do! I actually quite enjoyed updating these lists :)

Oh ! Have you checked Dare Me the tv series is looking quite good! Would be another interesting one for the Romance/Drama Section

I have such a backlog of old shows I do not even dare to take a look at these new ones :( Will note that above though :)
