This Week
Good Omens
The genius of this series it's simply the fact that they put David Tennant and Micheal Sheen together. That alone elevates the series to a "must watch".π
It's also nice to see Jon Hamm play a funny role.
This second season starts off a little weirder than the first one.
I'm getting the feeling that they're going for a bigger story this time.π
However I highly recommend it to anyone.π
The Covenant
Guy Ritchie's latest project is more grounded than usuals. I've always loved his filmmaking style.β
This movie is a bit more serious than the rest but it does not disappoint at all. Jake and Dar are really good together and they display an interesting chemistry between an army sergeant and an interpreter.π¬
Storyline is pretty linear and not so full of surprises... I expected one or two at least.π§
All and all a good weekend binge watch.πͺ
Vote: 6.5/10
Invincible: Atom Eve
I'm glad that we had an "appetizer" to keep us from starvation between season 1 and 2 of Invincible.
That being said, this is a hell of an appetizer.
Simple yet effective story, the usual great animation, the usual funny and irreverent dialogues and the usual violence.π
They've set an high bar for themselves but they seem determined to not disappoint...
I'm really hyped for season 2 now.π―
It's rare to see an animated show made with such care and genuine love. π₯
Warrior S3 Ep.8
The Wedding
In this episode we get to see the characters reunited to celebrate Mae Ling's wedding.
Weird but nice to see, however,as we all expected, the peace doesn't last very long...
Just two episodes to the end.π
I'm getting the feeling that they are preparing for a rematch between Ah Sam and Ly Yong...
Might be wrong, but it would be awesome.π―
The Witcher S3 part 2
Just wanted to add this tweet to show you what a bunch of morons are the executives...π€£
#TheWitcher producer on the shows controversial changes from the books
"When a series is made for a huge mass of viewers ... and a large part of them are Americans, these simplifications [are] necessary"
"The logic of the plot is less significant"
