Update on my end:
Peaky Blinders - One of the best series I've seen in recent times, certainly up there with
Sherlock, Game of Thrones and Hannibal. It's a gritty, Britty, gang series with a stage in
1919's Birmingham (and later London), where a family of criminals who've just made it
home from the war is starting to make a living for themselves. Obviously not really in
accordance with the law. I highly recommend anyone of a mature mind to watch it.
Penny Dreadful - Another excellent series, heavily influenced by the movies "the league
of extraordinary gentlemen" and "Van Helsing", or if not: By general British urban and
old legends. And although you may say what you want about those movies, this series
is taking those ideas, moving them into central 1800's London and making an ex-expolorer
of wealth and fame, a medium with a mysterious past and an American gunslinger deal
with it all. Same recommendation as with Peaky Blinders. They are both, I'd say, series
for a mature audience.
The Hateful Eight - I
am a sucker for Tarantino movies, excluding the two
ridiculous Kill Bill movies, which I am completely incapable of liking. This movie,
which was originally planned to be a prequel to Django Unchained, I've heard, is
really fucking amazing. It's everything a Quintin Tarantino movie should be and
nothing more, which is exactly what makes it great. Great and diverse characters,
good acting, natural and entertaining dynamics and obviously it's fair share of gore.
Quite possibly the best Tarantino movie in my opinion.
Deadpool - Watch it.

Yes, it is.
