Fannish Friday 5 - Series
For fannish5
List the 5 series (tv, book, or movies) that best kept their quality, from beginning to end.
1. Discworld, Terry Pratchet.
That might be considered cheating given that the series is not over, but although of course I have my favourite novels and those that didn't really appeal much to me, managing to write so many unique, funny books is absolutely amazing. Well done Sir Terry Pratchett !
2. Lord of the Rings (books), J.R.R. Tolkien
Not that I didn't like the movies, which were a very good adaptation (in "my" meaning of the word, which I might explain someday XD), but when I ended the book I felt both happy and sad because it was, as my mum used to say it very well, as if you were saying good bye to an old friend.
3. The Prisonner (1967 show), Patrick McGoohan
Yet again, you could say it's cheating, because it only lasted one season. But what a season !
4. Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes
Because Gene Hunt remained Gene Hunt, and because the end was absolutely amazing.
5. Sofia Coppola's Virgin Suicides, Lost and Translation & Marie-Antoinette
Because yes, I consider them as a trilogy. A trilogy about young woman lost in a world that don't understand them and/or that they don't understand.
