Well, what can I say? I wasn't expecting that and noir will you. Pun intended.

Almost watched the entire season in one go, only stopping halfway through episode 6 because I was exhausted-not bored. I completed the first season the next day. The story is compelling, the characters are intriguing, and the vision is unique. This detective series is one of a kind.

Well, what can I say? I watched all six episodes back-to-back and was engrossed throughout. The casting was solid, with interesting characters.

God Is a Bullet (2023)

Recommended

[8/10 · 16 July 2023]

Well, what can I say? Absolutely blew my swede. What a film. You want to know about consciousness and the meaning of life then this is a must watch. To know the answers to the Truth you must experience it for oneself. I'm godsmacked to what I've just witnessed on screen. Amazing. You'll find it confusing and asking more questions but the underlying matter of fact this is a piece of art.

Champions (2023)

[7/10 · 2 April 2023]

Well, what can I say? This is one of those films that is enjoyable throughout. You don't have to be into basketball to be fully engaged. The characters and storyline is what makes this so touching. It is warm, friendly with some light-hearted humour and a meaningful ending. After watching you can reflect back on the topics discussed and use in your everyday life.

Ancient Apocalypse (2022)

Recommended

[10/10 · 15 November 2022]

Well, what can I say? My first 10/10. Graham Hancock reminds me of Plato. Each episode correlates with one another. Fantastically told with cgi where required. Scientists don't know about conciousness and mainstream archaeology know diddly squat about the human existence. The narrative makes perfect sense and the ideas around the symbology is enthralling. One for your bucket list.

Is the title based on the setting or the most complex object in the Universe?

It's lovely shot with nice sound and lighting. It has elements of the Cube but different in one's own right.
