Star Trek: Prodigy
The youth in the majority of the cast, will make the series more relatable to the target audience, and all the characters were interesting and empathetic. There was a lot of good action scenes and some well placed levity throughout.
DetailsThe Girl in the Woods
The plot of the series may sound familiar as it has been done several times before, and unfortunately, it has been done much better several times before. As an older male, watching the first episode, I got the distinct impression that the target audience was a much younger demographic.
DetailsInvasion (2021)
The problem is, like Sheriff Tyson, at the end of the episode, we are left with a reaction of having not accomplished much, a feeling that “nothing happened” in the episode, when in reality, a lot happened, it was just so subtle, that it seemed like “nothing”.
DetailsDune (2021)
The storyline is timely with its political intrigue and the characters are interesting and well developed. It does lack a bit of that special weirdness that only David Lynch could inject, but for most people, that is probably a plus.
DetailsHalloween Kills
Halloween Kills delves further into the psychological realm, hitting on a heavy theme. The affects a violent act can have on a whole community and the condemnation of mob mentality.
DetailsInjustice
Tired of fighting by the rules and the world not changing it’s nefarious, war ravaging ways, they see Kal El’s new path as a way to finally make this Earth a paradise. Using violence to stop violence and making the remaining Justice League members judge, jury and executioners.
DetailsI Know What You Did Last Summer
The story moved along at a good pace. There were a lot of twists and turns and there is a ton of exposition information given in a rather short amount of time, which some could find confusing and overwhelming.
DetailsGhosts
I have to be honest, I preferred most of the American characters to the British. This is purely preference. Both series were very well performed with great comic timing and loads of laughs. The main characters are likeable and charismatic.
DetailsWhat If…?
The variety is indicative of the premise of the series, but also serves a purpose. The darker and tragic stories of lost life and hope must be contrasted with stories of humor and fluff. Our brain needs a break, a relief and it allows us to process the sadness that has come before and prepare us for the adventures to come.
DetailsAmerican Horror Story: Death Valley
Neal McDonough does a great job as Eisenhower, and the brief appearance of Sarah Paulson as Mamie Eisenhower just shows how much of chameleon she is.
DetailsThe Addams Family 2
To the outsider, looking in, the family seems crazy and kooky, but to the Addams’, they are the normal ones and everyone else it insane. The juxtaposition of what is good and evil, normal and abnormal is where most of the humor lies.
DetailsOld
The idea of growing older, going through puberty in a matter of hours and having all the emotions related to coming of age, but not having the learned knowledge or experience to deal with such feelings was an interesting theme.
