Synopsis: "During a fantastical 24-hour road trip, two young women attempt to move past a childhood tragedy that tore them apart."

Edit summary: Remove the weird forest drug-trip scene and a handful of lesbian references.

Ver12: Remastered

Synopsis: "16-year-old Henry Coles is an outsider in her new town of Reston, New York. With a major chip on her shoulder and no friends, she remains withdrawn and isolated, but everything changes when a traumatic encounter with a classmate triggers something deep within Henry - unleashing a power she cannot control."

Edit summary: Removed the teen-focused sections, the religious cult, and a lot of the awkward cringy nerd sidekick character, focusing more on the relationship between Henrietta and Nikolai.

Synopsis: "A new life awaits 22-year-old Tess when she arrives friendless in New York City and lacking any specific ambitions beyond finding a job. Her charm and observational nature lead to an invitation to train at one of the city's best restaurants."

Edit summary: Removes most/all the romance side-plots, and most of the side plots that revolve around single characters outside the restaurant. This isn't a very structured overarching plot - it's just a good vibes slice of life story about a girl working her way up at a restaurant.

Synopsis: "A ranching family in Montana faces off against others encroaching on their land."

Edit summary: This makes some very large cuts, trying to tone down or add context to some of the more dramatic parts of the series, and removing some of the soap opera level drama. It gets rid of both Lee and Jamie - and any plots related to those characters and makes Jimmy less of a comic relief character, also removing most of his later season scenes to keep focus on the Dutton family.

A lot of the mob-type violence - the train station, the yellowstone brandings are removed, but some of the more raw gunfights are kept and reworked into a darker narrative. This also streamlines the multi-season fight over land into one plot arc, to keep the story moving to new places rather than revisiting the same one multiple times.

You could call this edit An Ode to Cowboys, since the focus is really the ranch, and the people on it, rather than the various political machinations and personal infighting the original series featured heavily.

Synopsis: "When a renowned architecture scholar falls suddenly ill during a speaking tour, his son Jin finds himself stranded in Columbus, Indiana, a small Midwestern city celebrated for its many significant modernist buildings. Jin strikes up a friendship with Casey, a young architecture enthusiast who works at the local library."

Edit summary: I have a lot of respect for this director, he did an amazing job weaving a light story into some beautiful imagery. Really excellent the way he juxtaposed the actors with the architecture.

This edit just tightens up the story slightly, toning down some of the side characters to keep the focus on the Jin and Casey story. It makes the pace slightly less sluggish but does not make it a fast movie by any means, the contemplative vibe is left fully intact along with some long periods of silence, it just isn't quite as extreme as in the original.

Ver7: Remastered

Synopsis: "A drama set in the glamorous southeast of France. An extremely wealthy banker and his wife, Georgina, lead a luxurious lifestyle. But Georgina's world is turned upside down when he's killed and she begins to discover the details of his secret life."

Edit summary: Cut a few unsatisfying red herrings and trimmed out a bunch of drama with the side characters to give it a smooth plot arc with less manufactured drama and a chill vibe. Dropped the last season and part of the second season to rework the ending, and rescaled the second season to match the aspect ratio of the first season.

Synopsis: "Transitioning from his job as a CIA analyst in the U.S., Daniel Miller's new mission puts him under cover at the agency's Berlin branch, tasked with sorting out messy cases involving damaging leaks, whistle-blowers, terrorism and more."

Edit summary: Cut the crossdressing subplot, gay informant subplot, and a bunch of irrelevant filler scenes. Drop season 2 and 3 to create a tight, complete spy story.
