Why do they make mini series? Will they make new full series later on? It seems like it's on high demand if they still m

I saw this one where he was also in but bad movie IMO:

Was surprised to see him though.
I am not watching more tv series currently though, just one Hannibal, and that's ok. But I will add 24 to my list

Neither are very accomplished actors but I think Sutherland may have an edge having made more A list movies than Dorff. Sutherland was in the very good sci-fi feature "Dark City". If you haven't seen it, look it up on IMDB.

That was the first time I saw the super skinny Jennifer Connelly so "Hulk" is forever ingrained in my mind as the point of reference. She was so much better looking before she hopped on the anorexic bandwagon.
It didn't help that "Hulk" was terrible. -

No I haven't. Right now since Hannibal is finished, I don't have any series I follow.
I found some seasons online but it's gonna be hard to gather them all I guess. I had the same issue with Lost seasons. But this is like 2x more season I think. -

OK, I've procured a copy of "Requiem For A Dream" and watched the first 5 minutes of the movie where the loser runs off with his mothers TV to buy drugs. I was really hoping a bus would run him over and when it didn't happen, I turned the movie off. You sure this is the correct movie you want me to see?

OK, I finally sat through the whole movie and yes, it is depressing as hell. Except for the mother who is a victim of circumstances (ie: lonely with no reason to live), the other main characters deserved what they got. I hated Jennifer Connelly's character, there was nothing redeeming about her at all.
My personal feeling aside, Requiem for a Dream has a strong and very dark message to convey. Watching such movies put some people out of their comfort zones. As a non-drug user, I don't see the attraction for its use. I think the movie fell short in this area, that is not developing backgrounds for the characters. I would have like to have been introduced to the characters early on and learn what drove/tempted them into drug use. -

Definitely I would like to see more character development as well. Right now I am not watching anything. I watched Rome series that was barely OK.
I got many seasons of 24. I might watch that if I can find some time. -

You'll know you're hooked or disinterested (unlikely on the latter me thinks) after watching Seasons 1 and 2 of 24. Season 1 segues directly into Season 2 which makes for a big and complex story. The rest of the seasons are a little bit looser and don't tie directly into the preceding seasons. Each season ends with a cliffhanger and are somewhat followed-up upon during the succeeding season. They could have done a better job with the cliffhangers/story continuations in my opinion. They are shamelessly done in a way to build excitement and hold viewers interest until the next season begins. Since you'll be watching the episodes continuously, that won't bother you as much. For those of us who watched it real time as they were shown, it was somewhat annoying.
"The Walking Dead" is a fairly entertaining series. Although the setting is in a post apocalyptic world over-run by zombies, the zombies are only a tiny part of the story. The main focus of the show are the survivors doing what they have to do to stay alive. As characters die, new ones are introduced to keep the story fresh. The show is more drama than horror, more story than action. It's very different from theatrical zombie movies. There is minimal gore, nothing really shocking. People get bitten here and there, that's about it.
The show is shown on AMC channel, they are always showing reruns of the earlier seasons. Season 1 is only 6 episodes I believe.
