Afrader: The Pentaverate (serie)

Heel even leek het veelbelovend. Maar ik kon zelfs de eerste aflevering niet afzien. Een slappe ego show van Mike Myers die meer dan de helft van de rollen zelf vervult. Dat de serie een krappe voldoende krijgt op IMDB begrijp ik dan ook niet echt.

Aanrader: The Stranger (serie)

Ik heb de eerste 2 afleveringen gezien en kan niet wachten op de rest. Hartstikke spannend, duister en knap hoe de verschillende verhaallijnen in elkaar verweven zijn.

Summary: Running out of options and money, single mum Callie sets foot in the small town of Summerville, Oklahoma, with her two teenage children, Phoebe and Trevor. And now, there is no turning back. As the family attempts to settle in the dilapidated house of Callie's eccentric late father, unexpected secrets hidden in plain sight, mysterious equipment, and a strange vehicle rotting in the barn seem to relate to the area's puzzling seismic activity, and something even more shocking: the long-forgotten Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man Incident in 1980s New York City. But there hasn't been a single ghost sighting since the bizarre events of Ghostbusters II (1989). Is history repeating itself? Will Phoebe connect the dots, give her grandfather a voice, and discover the family's connection to the original Ghostbusters (1984)?

Aanrader: Star Trek Picard (serie Amazon)

Je moet wel van science fiction houden. Aangezien ik Star Trek en Star Wars altijd al leuk heb gevonden blijf ik dit soort spin-offs bekijken. Na het eerste seizoen van Book of Boba Fett begin ik nu aan het 2e seizoen van Star Trek Picard.

Aanrader: Upload (Amazon serie)

Ik zit in de eerste aflevering, maar ik vind het nu al een succes. Als je genoeg geld hebt kun je jezelf voor je overlijden laten uploaden naar de hemel van jouw keuze. Een programmeur van een gratis variant sterft onder verdachte omstandigheden en ontmoet een engel. Klinkt wazig, maar je moet echt kijken.

Afrader: Cosmic Sin (film)

Een Science Fiction film met Bruce Willis, dat kan wel een goede zijn. Nou, niet dus. Al in de eerste minuten tenenkrommend slecht. Brandstof auto’s en pistolen in de verre toekomst? En dan het slechte acteerwerk. Goed, pauze en IMDB checken. Ja hoor: Een 2,5 (van de 10). Stop gezet en ik ga hem meteen wissen.
