First of all, the idea sounds fun. Second, the execution sadly is not - although an episode just runs around 30 minutes per episode I felt quite bored sometimes. The reason for this state of boredom is easy to detect: too much of personal/family drama (and very mediocre dialogues) and the demon hunting felt sometimes just like background noise. Anyway, The Bondsman is okay if you are in need for some horror comedy, it got its moments. Last note: Ash vs. Evil Dead (some reviewer compare those shows) is the way way better show in all aspects (cast, action, gore, comedy, production etc.), so if you think you get something of the same level, you will be most certainly disappointed. Verdict: mediocre with some good moments here and there.
Mickey 17 in short: a decent production value struggling against weak executed comedy. The tone of humor or elements of comedy did not work at all for me - I was just bored, and the introduction of our hero with all his redundant babble (to explain what should have been introduced by story-telling) is the best example. All the characters, including Mickey are caricatures and never gave me the impression this is a glimpse in a possible future. Anyway, I did not expect something dark like Blade Runner but Mickey 17 is another example or proof that comedy is no easy business. How to do it the right way? The Fifth Element is a fine example. What else? Mickey 17 is not totally crashing but something you could stream while you answer some emails or do something else, you won't miss much. Background noise, so to say. All in all a rather disappointing affair.
American Primeval is for sure one of the best TV-shows on Netflix lately - a dark and gritty tale in the West with a fine production and a solid working cast. The story got a similar (or same) tone like Mark. L. Smith's well known The Revenant (starring Leonardo DiCaprio) - so, if you liked that one this show is made for you, if not, don't bother. What you get is a lot of riding and running and killing too, the story itself is rather a simple one. Anyway, I dare to recommend the show to all lost souls who like movies and shows like The Terror, Taboo, The North Water, Bone Tomahawk, and The Revenant, of course. Decent stuff.
