We live in the age of the TV revival – The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Prison Break, Roseanne... the list goes on. Popular series revived after years, sometimes decades, away from our screens.

But there are a few TV shows so resilient that they couldn't even be properly cancelled in the first place. Defying the networks, even the intentions of showrunners, this lot just wouldn't be kept down and continue to enjoy success.

Where else would you send a Treasonous man and a Dragon with dangerous ideas and powers? Out to the prison colony in Australia of course. Temeraire and Laurence, no matter where they go just can't stay out of trouble. They have charge of 3 dragon eggs and the theft on one of those eggs has them traversing the continent and avoiding a political mess in the mean time only to find something way more complicated.

Tracy Letts recommended Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983) in Movies (curated)

"A story about compassion and forgiveness set in a World War II Japanese prison camp, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence seems to improve with age and repeated viewings. The screenplay, by Nagisa Oshima and Paul Mayersberg, based on a book by Laurens van der Post, is oblique, brutal, poignant. Tom Conti, David Bowie, and Takeshi Kitano all give first-rate performances, and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score is heartbreaking. The last five minutes never fail to destroy me"

Book Favorite

"This true story left a hole in my head and in my heart. A woman on death row in Egypt decides that she wants to tell her story before her execution. She is in prison because she's killed her pimp, but even looking death in the eye she feels it’s the best thing she ever did, for in a weird way it sets her free. Painful, complicated, sad, and triumphant—all at once."
