Re: Obscure/Tiny Media You Want To Have A Fandom
I want it to be a TV miniseries so badly. I worry if it was made into a movie that it would crash and burn like Divergent (which was really the fault of Allegiant being terrible anyway) but the Partial books were so good.
Re: Obscure/Tiny Media You Want To Have A Fandom
I think I'd prefer it as a TV series too rather than a movie
I think the pacing and all the travelling would work better that way?
Re: Obscure/Tiny Media You Want To Have A Fandom
I'm not sure who recommended it to me, someone from here. I went to the library to read them and couldn't put them down.
Dan Wells has a new series that's a good paced story (Mirador) but not nearly as good as Partials.
I think TV series would well if they stretched the 3 books into one season. I hate the American television system of drawing it out or getting canceled before it's finished.
Re: Obscure/Tiny Media You Want To Have A Fandom
I couldn't make it through the opening episode 😩 I loved the trailers and was really let down by the predictable characters/story in that pilot. I couldn't finish it!
Hmmm what kind of story is Mirador? Sounds fantasy?
Re: Obscure/Tiny Media You Want To Have A Fandom
Mirador is the name of the series, the first book is Bluescreen. Here's the summary
"Los Angeles in 2050 is a city of open doors, as long as you have the right connections. One of those connections is a djinni—a smart device implanted right in a person’s head. In a world where virtually everyone is online twenty-four hours a day, this connection is like oxygen—and a world like that presents plenty of opportunities for someone who knows how to manipulate it.
Marisa Carneseca is one of those people. She might spend her days in Mirador, the small, vibrant LA neighborhood where her family owns a restaurant, but she lives on the net—going to school, playing games, hanging out, or doing things of more questionable legality with her friends Sahara and Anja. And it’s Anja who first gets her hands on Bluescreen—a virtual drug that plugs right into a person’s djinni and delivers a massive, non-chemical, completely safe high. But in this city, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and Mari and her friends soon find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that is much bigger than they ever suspected."
It's described as sci-fi noir. It's an interesting take on the what if of where the world is heading with communications. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Partials.
