This spring, I watched When Life Gives You Tangerines, and I honestly didn’t expect to be so fully transposed. Even though my own experience is tied to French Polynesia and the series is set in South Korea (Jeju), the depiction of island life - the good and the bad - the dream of escaping to the big city (in my case, the “Métropole”; in the series’ case, the mainland), and the struggles of adapting to that big city once you get there as an “exotic” person, all felt so familiar and well done that I cried during every episode. I’m curious - have you ever experienced something like this with a movie or series?
Season 1 of The Last of Us. I was very close to my dad, and my real dad isn’t my biological dad. I miss him and I’m often in !dadforaminute@lemmy.world
Watching a daddy daughter relationship develop was really powerful for me, I have NEVER connected with a show or film so much. They weren’t biological and started as strangers just like me and my real dad, but they fiercely were at the end. I couldn’t watch s2 because s1 is perfect for me and I don’t want to change that.
Good call on not watching season 2. You’re not missing out
Yeah I just finished season 2 and was super meh compared to the first. It did get a bit better the last couple episodes but the first half of the season was a melodramatic snooze fest.
Yep so I gather! I got spoiled about The Event in the 2nd game when I looked into the plot, it’s just not for me. S2 just doesn’t seem to be any good as well
