The Terminal List (2022)
Captivating.
Chris Pratt is stellar in this thriilller. Took an episode to snap out of his usual 'lovable guy' type character (parks & reck, and. Guardians of the galaxy, et al), but wow
Really worth a watch/try,

We Own This City (2022)
Attention span is a must.
Going to keep it short.
The show is brilliant: story is true such so it's almost depressing to watch, but absolutely fascinating - wound up reading about the actual guy.
However, it's very hard to follow. Put your phone down and pay attention - 10 seconds will throw you out. Not something you play with two screens active.
Could have been put together a bit better in terms of following the plot... but I enjoyed the complexity of it all - I felt that it mirrored how hard it was for the feds to figure things out.
In short: have a coffee before each episode. Maybe take notes? /s.
Severance (2022)
Genuinely intriguing, masterfully suspicions.
This show is a masterpiece. It demands its own genre. It assaults the parts of your mind that cause intrigue. It screams subtle. It tiptoes on tinfoil.
Its masterfully written and the camera work along with the set design and scene writing is just wonderful.

What a gift.
Atlanta: The Big Payback (2022)
Please choose a plot.
I loved episode 4. It's like a black mirror episode steeped in the Atlanta universe. Great writing, excellent execution. But dammit I don't watch Atlanta for spin-off episodes unless a main character is involved. 'Teddy Perkins' on S2 was genuinely one of the best episodes of any tv show just because it threw a monty python'esq curve ball that invoked main characters. Engaging and familiar, yet foreign, frightening, and funny.
Make a new show with spin offs and keep main characters in the OG Atalanta plot. It's really annoying to wait a week, and another week, just to see main character arks disappear throughout both.... May as wall call the show "something else" with how s3 is going...
It'd be great if the fantastic and weird arks existed as a spin-off. Like a 'WHAT? Atlanta?' Kinda thing. Or just a "what?"
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Best reboot I've seen
Reboots are generally... well... we all know they tend to be crap. This is great.
It takes its time and doesn't rush to satisfy an audience desperate for something - when you watch several seasons of a serial killer, when a reboot comes round you expect the obvious. This is nothing like that.
If only: I wished his son was obsessed with killing things as well. The story can still can go two ways. Maybe he's smarter at hiding it?
Fauda (2015)
When blurred lines intertwine
I'm not going to comment on the politics behind what this is based on, I'm no expert and it's beyond anything comprehensible to me.
What I can say is that this show is properly captivating. I speak only English, and although the Hebrew is dubbed, I'm glad the Arabic isn't. It helps distinguish who's who when across borders and it just adds to the authenticity of everything. I don't usually watch films with subtitles, I'm glad I did this time round.
I'm no meta-critic and so I won't delve into the shows plot, but I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys spy craft and action, especially when both sides believe they're right.
I saw another review comment that is was basically 'one perspective with two sides' and I couldn't agree more.
Prison Break: The Sunshine State (2008)
Why can't seasons be rated?
Do the writers think we are idiots with a short attention span?
Horrified at how the second half of s4 has carried out. Cut to this. Cut to that. Que the intense sound track. 'Something must be wrong'...
It's obvious that those who owned the rights were twisting a wet sock full of money for every dime.
How on earth the writers made predictability so predictable is beyond me. Really disappointed at both the studio for obviously rushing writers, and the writers themselves.
The Edge of Seventeen (2016)
Confusingly heartbreaking
It's been a while since I watched a coming of age story that I felt connected to.
The story told in this film is either enlightening to those who don't realise high school struggles, or to those mourning memories of it.
Yes, there are some great laughs and the writing is clever to balance them where they're needed, but overall this film is full of heart and with that, something to break. So glad that I chose it as a midnight watch.
Best coming serious coming of age piece I've seen ever.
