Dead Ringers (2023)
This is a straight up 10
I just finished this series, there's so much I'd love to say but I think this is a show better discovered on your own terms.
There is undeniable technical wizardry, camera, vfx, direction, sound design!.. but Rachel Weisz does a magic trick where she ignited this most excellent writing and glued everything together.
The original film that I grew up loving was male centric, this could be one of the best adaptations that converts to a feminine perspective I've seen. I'm so grateful that shows like this are being made and moved by the courage to make them.
Basically, just watch. It's challenging but never tired. I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
Star Trek: Picard: Disengage (2023)
First ever review
A longtime lover of the Next Gen series, for all its ups and downs I loved the way it explored morality in a complex way. It explored questions more than clear answers. This feels that same way, filmic like First Contact and still uses eclectic space opera to explore inner conflict. I'm so in. Thank you for finding the voice, if you've been waiting for that old feeling I think you can find it here. Great work all round.
This series could almost be a beginning. I'm not trying to insult what came before but if you're curious to reconnect to the heart of Next Gen, you can't start with this season and applaud; with some sweaty eyeballs occasionally.
