Recommended movies and TV shows

23 June 2012 by Dan Webb Leave a Comment

Some that I’m enjoying now or that I watched recently


  1. The Adventures of Merlin (3 seasons X 13 episodes, so you can get quite immersed) – Arthurian tales with enough grounding in the archetypal stories that they have my respect, simple enough in story construction that they’ll be appreciated by all ages.  I enjoy the acting, costumes, swordplay, etc.  I think it’s quite good at dealing with questions of identity, which the original archetypal stories did masterfully.
  2. Masterpiece Contemporary: The Last Enemy (5 episodes)
  3. The Story of India (6 hours) – The history of mankind in general and of India specifically, told by a guy whose interesting and engaging as a person and who clearly understands and respects the many philosophies that have moved through India.
  4. Empires: The Medici, Godfathers of the Renaissance (4 episodes X 1 hour) – looks interesting.  I haven’t watched it yet.
  5. The Tudors – I’ll bet you’ve seen it.
  6. The Forsyte Saga (10 episodes)
  7. Limitless – a movie you’ve probably seen


All-time Favorites
