Eight episodes that would’ve, only a few short years ago, been done as a movie. There’s just not enough story to hold onto.

First, I don’t understand the title. And despite being well put together, I’m still not sure what it’s trying to say, apart from technology is bad, and it’ll force us to make horrendous choices, or be obliterated.

Intense and complicated and worthy of all kinds of awards. Netflix are on a role at the moment with interesting, thought provoking, films.

The plot thickens until it’s as thick as the elixir Witchers take to give them strength.

A satirical skid at Armageddon (1998) style destruction of the planet, if say, Trump was in charge when they discovered the asteroid. It didn’t really work, perhaps because it’s just too on the nose?

As with so many America dramas, set in space or otherwise, it’s always about the dynamics of family, individual valour, and self discovery. At least Netflix had the good sense to quit when the mission was done.


For a younger cohort this will feel fresh, a super slick vampire film, for the rest of us it’s a female led Lost Boys (1989). Well made, if a little slow.

Halle Berry is almost unrecognisable as the MMA fighter seeking redemption in the ring. The whole love story subplot could’ve been excised without missing a beat of the story. Interesting, if a little long.

A cleverly reimagined history of the causes of the French revolution. The nobility have been infected with a disease that turns their blood blue and gives them an appetite for peasants.
