A weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves |
After waking up covered in sweat from a 40-minute nap that felt like forever, in the heat of my AC-less room, I struggle to find words to properly introduce July's final theme. So I'm just going to say that this week we are talking about TV series based on movies, as the title says, and that since I've used the majority of those I've seen, I'm going with series I'm yet to watch but have been meaning to as I read great things about them.
Bates Motel (2013-2017)
A sort of prequel to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, this series follows the lives of Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his mother (Vera Farmiga) prior to the events portrayed in the film.
Dear White People (2017- )
Based on the 2014 film of the same name, this Netflix original follows several black college students at an Ivy League institution, touching on issues surrounding modern American race relations.
She's Gotta Have It (2017-2019)
Based on Spike Lee's movie of the same name, this too is a Netflix original and follows Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise), a young African American woman, and her three lovers. I wasn't a big fan of Lee's film but I've read good things about this one so I'm willing to give it a chance.
