Interesting, the remake is hardly ever as good as the original. That said Amazon Prime has put out some good stuff, especially, for my tastes, Good Omens (which was a BBC co-production). And I liked The Boys and Preacher.

Yes. The video is the opening credits.
 
 
Just finished Utopia, fortunately they toned down the gore Tongue What an incredible show in every aspect, but particularly the soundtrack is amazing. I was surprised to see that the use of 70's sounds were justified, there was also another great track with Farfisa. Such a shame it was cancelled.



I'm so very glad you liked it. When it was cancelled after season two, I signed a petition for a season three. Sadly, the petition did not yield positive results even if it got over 100 signatures with compelling reasons such as "SAVE THIS sh*t!" (an actual quote). There were a few petitions, I think the one I signed had about 400 supporters.

  That is just hilarious....I might have to do it, as well.  LOL  This is now the hallmark for a hit in a non-PA category for PA Pollsters?  LOL

Also glad you like Boardwalk Empire.  If you get a chance, listen to the full version (I posted it on my original post for this thread).  It's quite interesting how it was adapted for the TV theme.

I love a lot of British Comedy, particularly from the time I was in the UK and slightly before (my impression is that overall quality went quite a bit downhill from 2012 or so), but they have a habit of using pretty crappy music. One that did things a bit better was Green Wing, which by coincidence (?) is my favourite series. Listen to this:


By the way, are people ready for the next poll, the surprise one?

The premise is that BoJack is a self-loathing alcoholic former 90's sitcom star of the show "Horsin' Around," which is about a bachelor horse that adopts three kids and all the wackiness that comes about. Now, 20 years later he is trying for a comeback in his career, and the show is also about the people/animals around him. He exists in a world mixed with humans and anthropomorphic animals. 

Clips of "Horsin' Around" appear within the show, including its opening:

  It's odd, that one is still growing on me, despite the fact that when I voted, I thought I didn't care for the music as much as the fact that the word repetition stuck with me.  But progressive music is that way sometimes, it can sneak up and capture you when you least expect it.Smile

Nickie, what is the song that you proposed?

(I got lost, in this thread ... many comments, many videos, and little time on my part) 
  It was Daktari, Lorenzo....I think you commented, but it didn't make the podium for you.  Also LOL re voting for Pedro 10 times!  LOL
