This one is sometimes on Netflix so I'm sorry if it's not, but The Killing! It's a remake of a Swedish show, it's got similar vibes for me.

True detectives season 1

Just finished my 4th rewatch and haven’t seen a single other season

Still not talking to you

for real. Seasons 2 and 3 are good but season 1 is another level.

The Fall. British show about a serial killer

Interesting you mention “Get Out.”

No only will “Sinners” have the “Get Out” effect where word of mouth will have it have a long time making bank in theaters (I think next weekend will make as much or more than this weekend’s $49 million); Sinners is kind of like Get Out in a way plot wise but mixed with “O’ Brother Where Art Thou.”

Now yall hyped me up to see this movie😂. Im going to see it regardless and tell my parents to see it if they can. However i hope it does good too because this just further invests in Bryan cooglers career. This will also motivate him to create movies representing black voices outside of hype and more original in terms of plot.

>It's honestly more refreshing than most Marvel and DC movies

That ain't saying much lmao...

Hollywood's in a superhero, reboot, 20 year later sequel tails pin. It's refreshing to see something new and interesting get made.

Black fantasy cinema makes money the powers that be just don't want us seen in a positive light on TV or the big screen unless a white person is centered. They're willing to lose money because of this.

Give Sharp Objects (HBO) a try. Or Broadchurch (its on netflix) is also an exceptionally well made show.

If your looking for more of a gritty show watch Mindhunter on netflix.

So many good shows that are kinda similar in different ways.

Hope this helps!

Totally forgot Haunting on Hill House!

Wait, there's a season 2 of The Sinner?! I loved Season 1 and binged it all in 2 days!

Its really really good. Wonderful acting. Yes many triggering themes of race and trauma. May caution about watching w mostly white audiences. Just bc of the material and times we r currently in. It is worth the hype. See it soon cause so many spoilers out there

Thank you for asking this. The “trauma porn” of a lot of black focused films is a lot for me and I was wondering this myself

I will say this movie does what other movies struggle to not do when it comes to this topic. It doesn't glorify or create trauma porn. So yes hard topics addressed but it wasn't as bad as u think. Coogler highlights hardships but mainly beauty of blackness in this film in my opinion

Yes (with least amount of spoilers I can give):

The klan is a medium sized part of the plot and several members show up and the robes are seen for a second, but no one wears them and they don’t attack anyone who can’t or doesn’t fight back and win. No lynching. There is someone dunking a black boy’s head under water but it’s brief, not racially charged and it doesn’t result in death or injury.

Two black men get shot in the leg by another black man for stealing. It’s implied they’ll be patched up.

There’s a short scene of in the middle of the film of men in prison wear digging holes overseen by white wardens on horseback, while a character talks about how and why they didn’t deserve to be there.

The main character is a share cropper and there’s brief scenes at the beginning of him and others picking cotton.

There’s a white (ish) lady and several scenes where there’s an underlying threat of people getting attacked by being around her (no one does). She does spit in a black man’s mouth tho, it was consensual but gross imo

Spoiler: one yt person drops the n word after being righteously killed

Not very racial trauma porny... Only violent in the sense of vampires being... Vampires.

Totally agree! I loved Sinners, kind of want to go see it again and it was giving major MM vibes at certain points. MBJ is great at horror… maybe someday he’ll be cast in a Flanagan project!

Yes!!!!!! I totally thought Sinners had both Midnight Mass and Buffy vibes!! And MBJ loves anime too and one scene in particular…

But I’ve seen Sinners twice and totally want to rewatch MM now

I loved Sinners and think it’s the best vampire media I’ve seen alongside MM. I think there are tons of little similarities too!

YES!!!!

I love this show!! Each season is a different story and they have that.. what do you call it? That feeling where you think of the characters long after you've watched it, it kinda haunts you and you must watch it again.

Agreed!! Loved it so much, makes me want to watch MM again!

The new world video logo placement on the tape makes it look like he’s holding a waffle from a distance haha

Did you make this? So cool

Omg I have to have one

🔥🔥

I appreciate the old style (and best style) BBFC rating

I don’t think Sinners had anything to do with Blade other than Coogler might have wanted to direct the Blade movie and/or be involved with the vampires in the MCU.

But the script itself probably wasnt ever for a MCU Blade movie

The themes and symbolism in Sinners must have went clear over your head. This film is nothing like what a Blade project would be.

Considering there was sex, gun violence, blood, gore, cursing, racism, alcoholism/drinking, super raunchy sex, a lot of sex, themes of slavery/oppression/conformity/assimilation… no, not really. But more importantly, why would he even want to?

He had the creative freedom to do what he wanted, how he wanted, help write it, direct it, design the look of it, choose that it was filmed on actual stock not digital, and had minimal studio interference to make the highest rated movie in a decade so why would he want to give all that up on top of being unable to implement all the things that made Sinners so unique and great?

I think this desire to want him for it stems mostly from the idea that it was good and had vampires while completely ignoring why Sinners was great and how very few of those are replicable within the MCU.

Beyond that, what would make a good Blade is a ton of martial arts, much better prolonged gun battles, and a John Wick style action movie with minimal plot and action set pieces - most of which wasn’t in Sinners and isn’t what made Sinners good at all.

I’ve been waiting for this. My Marvel Studios conspiracy theory…Coogler wanted to do Blade but the original production schedules clashed with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (not to mention the heavy rewrites required for our fallen comrade Chadwick Boseman) so Marvel didn’t hand it to Coogler so he made his own vampire film. I can’t believe Coogler would make such an incredible vampire film and not have interest in doing Blade. But his desire to also write his films caused Marvel to outsource it. I hope Coogler does Blade when it does happen. Or give it to Chad Stahelski from John Wick.

Yeah that’s true. I would imagine that is a priority if he wants to use Denzel considering Denzel seems like he’s winding down his career.

The Sinner I watched all seasons , I tried watching You and couldn’t get past 2 episodes.

The Sinner season 1 is good

Season 2 is average

Season 3 is some of the worst garbage pretentious TV I've ever watched. Wouldn't bother

No idea about season 4 as I've given up on this show

You in my opinion is a very solid show throughout

The Sinner

I loved season 2 of You and absolutely adored Jessica Biel’s season of The Sinner

The fall, one of the most underrated series in my opinion.
