Final season of "Earth Final Conflict" is laughably bad, but at least the ending is nice

It's been enough years I suppose it's "ok" (heh) to remake it, but the trailer gives off such a generic "Netflix series" vibe I'm not sure I could watch it. And those "sun" bonnets the girls are wearing - LOL. Michael Landon's feel-good/schmaltz style might not fit today, but he was good at it, both creation and the acting. I don't know who's playing Pa in this one, but trailer wise he has no screen charisma at all.

I loved the original show, because it was so simple and somewhat easy. This trailer feels weirdly over dramatic.

Doesn't the original series end with some tycoon trying to steal their land, and they end up blowing everything up?

tbh I don't think I've ever seen the end. The last one or two seasons were pretty bad as well (where they moved into the town?).

I watched some of LH when I was youngish then later rewatched some in daily syndication. Somewhere after Lara/Almonzo plotlines - and yeah, when they all moved to "big towns" - I lost interest, although I do recall some episodes of the two seasons after that.

My memory (articles read) is that the blow up the town thing was one of the "made for TV movies" they did after the final episodic season, as codas/popular demand or whatever, some time later. I think there were three such "movies." I don't think I saw any of them.

Really good. My wife and I both liked it a lot and shes not usually a fan of "sci-fi".

Via Netflix: shorter kdrama series

Was expecting a "task force fights school bully issues". Which is what I got, but most of the episodic episodes end with much pontificating about morality, social responsibility re: the episode issue. Fight scenes were not frequent but still entertaining in an anime way. Show deals not just with teen bully vs. teen but affects on teachers, social media, aggressive parents, etc. Odd mix of OTP plea sincere with OTP action/action-comedy.

So Ji Sub vehicle, so I must watch. I guess it's in the Taken genre (father with past/skills, daughter in danger, but a lot more chr. past-multi-military-chasing and side antagonist subplots). 1s episode a lot of setup, then the OTP violence/action starts. Nothing unique, but So Ji Sub always makes such worth a watch. Although, since Mercy For None wasn't too long ago, it's maybe slightly too similar a role. I miss him in drama, or comedy. EDIT: there is some comedy in this one - main chr. has help (vs. solo) and one of them is on the comedy side. Series not fully released yet, so far each episode gets a bit better.
