Great character growth for side movie characters

I love the series of sam being captain america of what it takes for the legend also to be a influence in these modern times. Doing the show and touching political topics without being heavy awesome. The character john walker was excellent and showing what can happen living up to a legend. The incident with the bloody shield was kinda just tossed away coulda done more. Also sharon carter being power broker because she didn't get a pardon, yes she could have. Didn't like it. Awesome series

For Whom the Gods live
The onscreen adaptation of Neil Gaiman's book is an excellent one. Combining topics of philosophy, religion, culture and modern day icons around present America, it stylistically portrays do we need God and whether Gods need us. A bit explicit for everyone's taste, nevertheless, a treat to sore eyes.

Disturbingly relevant even to contemporary events
Philip Roth's vivid dystopian novel depicts America under a fascist government through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy in the peak of World War One. It's dark and compelling, showing how creeping discrimination can ultimately make way for potential genocide. Absolutely grim yet gripping.
