How faithful to the novel is the “The Name of the Rose” miniseries from 2019? It’s been years since I’ve watched the movie adaption with Sean Connery.

I’ve seen the vast majority of critically acclaimed miniseries in English so I really wanted to expand and I s…

The Curse (upcoming Showtime miniseries). Starring Emma Stone and created by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie. It will play at film festivals in the fall before premiering on Showtime. I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve heard a rumor it’s already been screened (and supposedly better than any movie released this year thus far). Apparently, a morally ambiguous social satire.
