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.

As the series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself. Remember, the Pentaverate must never be exposed.

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.

Summary: A man is able to choose his own afterlife after his untimely death, by having his consciousness uploaded into a virtual world. As he gets used to his new life and befriends his angel (real world handler), questions about his death arise.

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.

The threat against mankind soon escalates into an interstellar war as Ford and a team of elite soldiers try to stop the imminent attack before it's too late.

Aanrader: Ginny & Georgia (Netflix)

Het lijkt (na 2 afleveringen) een leuke serie. Vaderloos gezin verhuisd voor de zoveelste keer en moet zich settelen in een nieuwe omgeving. De gesprekken zijn soms semi-intellectueel en best vlot. Wat ik er leuk aan vind, is dat het een complete tegenpool lijkt van “The Good Wife”.
