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.

Remember, the Pentaverate must never be exposed.

Aanrader: Springvloed (Netflix)

Super spannend, je wordt echt op het verkeerde been gezet. Ik heb sommige stukken met gesloten ogen bekeken, echt vreselijk.

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”.

Afrader: Mother/ Android (Netflix)

Wat een misser. Tergend traag, geen goede verhaallijn. Zonde van mijn tijd. Maar ik had ook eerst naar de IMDB score moeten kijken. Oordelen onder de 5 zijn zelden de moeite van het bekijken waard.

Aanrader: Clickbait (Netflix)

Spannende miniserie die je telkens op het verkeerde been zet. Een nare gebeurtenis wordt in elke aflevering vanuit een andere persoon getoond, wat leid tot een spannende onverwachte climax.
