Deep Conversations

Time for the sunshine_challenge prompt three: Canon Reccs!

I recently discovered my love of Colin Morgan (and Bradley James) after watching Merlin (I know, I'm way late to that party). So naturally I clicked through their filmography, and I fell hard for two shows that have both been canceled. On the one hand, I really like stories that feel complete and well-thought out from beginning to end, and both of my reccs have those qualities. On the other hand, I miss out on more time with my OTP from Humans, and the absolutely stunning period costumes in The Living and the Dead!

Humans (TV Series 2015-2018)
This show has three seasons, all available for streaming free on Amazon Prime. It focuses on a parallel universe where human-looking synths have been mass manufactured and are bought and programmed to do all kinds of jobs. The show follows the lives of a family of synths, a human family, one of the scientists who originally invented synths, and other scientists trying to crack the code of consciousness.

Why I love it:( under here )

TLDR; Four amazing main characters who are female, lots of discourse relevant to modern identity politics, and the found family trope.

The Living and the Dead (BBC 2016)
Only one season, available for free on Amazon Prime. The prodigal son returns from an illustrious big city career to his mother's farm with his talented wife, and inherits the whole operation. It turns out that something supernatural is lurking on the farm. Set in 1800s rural England.

TLDR; A cute couple, creepy ghost stories, and fantastic period clothes.
