X (2022)
I can't recommend watching this but if you do....
So I went into this very skeptical and I was right. The first hour of this production is porn on a farm with two really creepy older persons spying. The last half of the movie is one of the most disturbing piece of film making I have ever seen. I was shocked, horrified, and disturbed deeply. But this is a horror film and it managed to do its job so well. I can't unsee this film and am a little more messed up after watching this. Film and horror are about how they make you feel and this is a 9/10. Just be warned it will make you feel things maybe you could have done without. If you have tough skin and can handle nudity, violence and good story telling then I dare you to watch this. Definitely a movie I won't forget or recommend to my mother.
Invasion: Chasing Ghosts (2023)
I don't understand the soldiers family at all
Spoilers:
The soldier is back in Miami with his family and they are just having a BBQ acting like there isn't a giant alien ship right above them that is killing the human race. Okay I can get past that. Maybe they just want to have a good time before dying. What really set me off was the next scene. A boy is drowning in the pool and everyone is just standing around screaming doing nothing. The soldier runs from the complete other side of the yard is the ONLY one to jump in the pool after him and preforms life saving CPR to say this kids life. After he yells at the kid saying you need to be careful, which is completely understandable. What do the parents do? Thank him for saving their sons life? Give him a hug and say we are so happy you were here bc we obviously can't swim? No.... The yell at him and stare at him like he just beat the kid up and didn't just save that kids life. They even take it a step further and kick him out of their house. It made zero sense and is some of the worst writing I've seen in a long time. I'm a sucker for end of the world/alien type shows and movies so I'll stick with it but this show has some of the most unlikable characters I've come across. I'm not even going to get into how much I hate the bratty kid who won't listen to his mom in the first episode and almost gets his entire family killed and shows zero remorse for his actions even after the fact.
Invasion: Something's Changed (2023)
Like father like son
Luke is one of the worst characters I've come across in a TV show in a long time. I'm actively hoping he is killed just like his cheating father. He single handily made me hate this episode. Really hope he is not like this the whole season bc it will ruin the show for me. If he would just listen to his mother who is trying so hard to keep her family safe and alive everything would be okay and their story ark could evolve past the selfish teenager stage that ruins everything. I get what the writers are trying to do but they made him so awful it actually hampers the show instead of pushing it forward. Really hope the aliens get him bc of his selfish actions.
Outer Banks (2020)
It's a lot of fun!
I'm a sucker for a treasure hunt so this tipped my interest. Execution in cinematographye was fantastic. The characters are your typical band of bottom of the rung teenagers vs the super wealthy kids there on summer break. Twist and turns till the conclusion of season 1. Promising start for a modern day goonies.
El hoyo (2019)
Watch in the original language
I cannot stress this enough. Watch this show in its original language. The acting is superb and the subtle job is really well done so you can keep up. The English version made me want to turn it off. Do yourself a favor and watch this film the way it is ment to be watched.
The Last Kingdom (2015)
How did it take me this long to find this show!!!!
This is one of the most underrated TV shows of all time. I am so happy I decided to give it a try. I literally watched the first season in one day. Thank you Netflix for supporting this show!!!! Cant wait for season 4
Travelers (2016)
Travelers is SiFi meets 24 and does it deliver.
I will not go into spoilers but if you enjoy the shows 24 and you like SiFi and time travel then this is the show for you. The cast is brilliant and well crafted. The entire show is just a lot of fun. I'm giving it a 10 because I honestly cant wait for season 4 to come out and season 3 just came out 4 days ago. Been awhile since a show hooked me like this one has. Bravo Netflixs
