moreover, there's a new series from Murphy, and it's interesting to look at the extended "Thunder".
I haven't watched the second movie at Grom's, so I'll check it out right away.
Well, Dempsey also counts as a serial killer.
I'll think about ice again...
that's a week!
Merlin is doubtful, but who am I that I would not try everything fantasy.
I don't know about Thunder. I didn't get the movie, I didn't even watch it. Xs is it worth trying the series...
The name I chose was "The Beauty of the Pendragon Killer." A dramatic thriller set in the early Middle Ages. There are different versions of the legend. If we stick to the one where Arthur dies at the hands of his son Mordred (born from an incestuous affair with his sister), and before that Mordred captured Camelot and Guinevere, then there is such a tragic story about a handsome young man who could not tame his thirst (for power, blood, maybe even revenge), went against his father, the king, but eventually he himself disappeared.
It didn't work out funny, but with a logical reference to the legend.
In general, so far this year there are not many interesting new products, except for Ponies, I don't even want to try anything.
And as for the sequels, since Inspector Gavrilov season 3 wasn't announced on Friday, it means that it definitely won't be released this week.
And it probably won't be next week either, there's only hope for February, but a couple of new seasons are expected to be released there anyway.
In general, it somehow turns out unevenly(
