Fits in with Game of Thrones well

Very political
Time jump
Very familiar
I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones so having a chance to view a spin off series is a no brainer.
This is a big series 10 episodes mostly around an hour long. Unfortunately there was no where near enough action for me. The first few episodes are good but then it jumps to around 10 years later with different actors playing some of the characters.
As usual there is a lot of political views around who should be the heir to the Throne and who is with or against the various Houses. Just creates a bit of a lull around the middle episodes before picking up again for the last 2 episodes. Hopefully a second series will have more action.

Another solid Joe Wright film. Gary Oldman did an amazing job as Churchill, the ultimate spin doctor. It was a good year to bring this film out, since Dunkirk came out a few months earlier. The movie did a good job, building the tension between the various political figures, and the war. It was also nice to see Ben Mendelsohn not play a villain.

Home invasion with a twist
Probably the best of the 3 Purge films, the first film gave us something fairly original. It mixes home invasion with a political, society twist. It has a what would you do in that situation vibe to it as well. Do what's right or what is safe? There are some wacky characters and plenty of tension to keep you entertained.

The second one is the best in my mind. The first is great too though. Saying that, I quite enjoyed 3 too.

Second was very similar to the first but felt a little more low budget for me.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I started it and couldn't put it down. I read the entire thing in a day and was brought to tears multiple times. This is a gut wrenching read that I recommend to anyone who wants to get a better emotional feel for so much of what is going on in our political climate right now.

You should read 'Anger Is A Gift' as well.
