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.

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: 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.

Aanrader: A million little things (Videoland)

Het is eigenlijk alles, ik kan het niet goed omschrijven. Spannend, lachen, boos makend. Alles tegelijk.

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”.

Ginny & Georgia
