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.

Mind hunters

Broadchurch

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

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!

I liked the first and second season much more than the third. I really wanted to like the third season too because I like Matt Bomer, but it was just ok.

I agree with your friend. I liked the first season but didn’t like the other 2.

No i don’t agree with your friend. Give it a watch.

The first one is the best, in my opinion. The third one is better than the second. But all pretty decent

I wouldn't be as drastic as your friend, but I do agree that season 1 is clearly the best of them.

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

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.

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

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

I have been looking for anyone talking about this and I thought I was completely alone. My partner and I went to see it and we both cried multiple times. I held his hand so tight. We lost our daughter when I was 22 weeks pregnant. She was still born. Still a phenomenal movie, just could have used the content warning

Thank you so so much for the heads up on this; we had planned to go and see more movies together in the weeks we will take off work, and this was top of the list.

I meant to share something about this, thank you. My husband and I went to see Sinners as a distraction - what could there possibly be problematic with a vampire movie set a hundred years ago? I had seen Warfare, which, albeit violent, hadn’t bothered me at all. But phew, Sinners was a good movie, but the scene at the end had both of us openly weeping in the theaters…

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!

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 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

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!

I felt this 100,000%. I love vampires, I’ve consistently felt let down by the latest trend in Black horror, I was fully prepared to HATE this movie. Loved every second.

Idk I can’t name many other movies with a serious dramatic tone that also include spooky vampires who break out in a full song and dance number to Irish folk music

Agreed. Enjoyed it and would rewatch it but the absolute CRAZE that followed was just not reflective of how good the movie actually was. Even still I’d probably say it’s the sorta blockbuster we should strive for.. I’ll take another dozen Sinners and 28 Years Later type blockbusters that’re thematically heavy and divisive than another Marvel blockbuster ATP.

Yeah the characters had more depth in dusk till dawn, sinners just felt manufactured, like it was ai written lol.

🤮 people actually believe Dusk till Dawn was good lmfao

Tarantino himself knew that was a stinker. It's why he didnt direct it. It's also why he filmed a documentary during the movie as a backup plan. The script literally reads like a 12 year old wrote it and it has all the depth of that level of writing. It's also shot like hot garbage in comparison to Sinners and its not even remotely close. That ugly aged early 2000s CGI. The cringe ass "we got p***y" intro. Clooney's terrible tribal tattoo. The openly atrocious acting despite an all star cast. The complete lack of dramatic impact of anything that happens. Why someone would hold this up as a standard, let alone use it to dismiss a clearly technically and thematically superior piece of cinema is beyond me.

But if you wanted to get really technical, Dusk till Dawn is a rip off of Assault on Precinct 13 which is itself a ripoff of Rio Bravo. The entire idea that anyone stole ideas from anyone is extremely moot.

This. I will always be forgiving of someone sticking with the bold vision. That’s why I’ll always show up to an M Knight film. I know that, for better or for worse, he’s gonna give me something I haven’t seen before. I’ll always respect that.

Ive seen soooooooo many horror movies many many times lol so if that counts as a veteran then ill take it. I can agree with your statement, started strong, dragged LIKE CRAZY, then me and my wife could barely finish it.

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

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

The Sinner

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