Set 180 years in the past, the creator of the Beacon project makes a surprise visit to Beacon 23.

This leads to an existential crisis of the meaning of life between the lighthouse keeper played brilliantly by Barbara Hershey, and the creator also greatly acted.

We understand the functioning of Bart short for Bartholomew in the conflict between AI and humans.

The question of trust and family and religious beliefs are throughly examined in reinvention of hippy culture.

The set and pacing are extremely well done with only the concluding scene as the weakest

It leads to why AI and there partners are so tight.

The premise of this scfi horror thriller. The fingernail pull is the perfect metifor for love and heartbreak.

It looks at the idea of loneliness even if it hurts

Unfortunately the lead actress is coping with a fake accent ( she is Irish) and weird makeup on her neck.

With her being in every scene the movie rides on her. The director downplays how wildly emotional please in intimate would be

It plays more as a melodrama than a fantasy

The colour pallet of chose is not well chosen. And doesn't examine what the societal ( many suicides) cost of so many people finding there relationships are doomed

I.

Coleman is okay as the sceaming wife in this neo noir melodrama.

Liv is the perfect trad wife, beautiful, dutiful and smart.

Her husband is gorgeous and charmng. By the end of first episode she has a reason to kill him and show that she is smarter than her mother.

Fate intervenes and she has to pivot to pin the murder of the mistress on someone else.

Her mother is just a dramtic device and the the actress is a cliché

All this set up where she ultimately wins everything she wants The director decided to ads a " twist" it is revealed after what should have been the finale.

Could not make a poltical statement about the male gaze.

The reveal that the consultant is a robot is so obvious from episode 2 where he almost causes the glass floor on the executive floor to shatter due to his weight means this is a movie masquerading as a series.

Waltz plays the lead with his usual chilling performance and the female leads are middling and beautiful with the only thing having a tech company much more diverse than they usually are

The writing contains a great deal of padding to make nine episodes

My suggestion watch episode 1 and 2 and then jump ti the last 2. It will make little difference to your viewing enjoyment

Id have rated it a seven if it was a movie ( Im padding her lol)

This Netflix series was good but unfortunely it was cancelled after one season, when it painted itself into a plot corner that left the series stranded.

The open episode is very strong asthe two female leads reveal a mutual attraction. With It a great twist ending by showing each lead's back story leading to "the kiss" Of course since this is a lesbian Romeo and Juliet they are star crossed and their families are enemies.

Proceeding to the ultimate battle between the families. It would have been a good ending but in a desperate attempt to find a reason for season two they introduce a story line that is suppose to make you hate the new protagonist. Oliver.

It seems extremely contrived.

It was becoming just another vampire are outcasts and gay teens are outcast series, Netflix pulled the plug

In a nice nod to matriarchy the family is called the Atwoods.

This short done in beautiful black and white is just the right length Harrison saw keeps showing her great range from the hilarious agent on Frasier to the the evil leader of the monster hunters here.

The playing of somewhere over the the rainbow is to remind you that "monsters are te queer community while hunter are the Christian right. I case you missed it

I hope with streaming now the viewing of choice for most people we will see more of this medium length feature from Disney and Netflix

The fight scene of course top notch as that is Marvel Studio reason d'etre. The weapon design is inspired.

Watch it.

Ms Odonell givess a master class in acting as the tough cop with a soft side. Totally believable as a 30 year veteran.

The interaction of her and her captain is helpful to set her up as the person to carry the series to the end with the inevitable tragic finale coming.

The pressure of defending her son by Mol is the weakest part of this episode.

The interaction between Julian and his client shows why he is the best as what he does.

This is a perfect bridging episode to move forward the plot without revealing too much.

It doesn't lead up to who is going to take the fall for Olga's death and make want to see it to the last episode.

Anna, the lead played by the chameleon like Julia Garner, hits all the right spots as a Eurotrash con women who life leaves destruction in her wake due extreme narcissism .

The story progresses though flack backs to examine how she ensnared her victims and became topic of the most read story in the fictional Manhattan ( actually New York) magazine

The final episode does what Hollywood now does with most stories about reporting about Instagram crime and focuses on the reporting not the criminal as the cause.

Ann Chumsky. Continues in her march to become one of the great actresses of the early 21st century.

They never explain why the send people to do this mission. And why only two ships the fate of mankind is at stake. It would be much more sense to go unmanned and as many vessel as possible to reignite the sun.

But if you can put that aside it well acted and Chris Evans is unexpectedly good.

The problem in season 3 is that there is not one crisis which Superboy could not have solved by myself. Even the closing fight scenes his super speed he would have been able to take the guns from all the baddies.

The idea that just because Jason says don't bring Superboy doesn't mean they would have to listen.

This Tom Holland project is a easy watch.

When a female crash survive meet Holland she finds that all the men have developed the "noise". All the males hear each other thought.

But where are the women.

This is basis of the story.

Well acted a good chase movie. A true space western with real horses and of course an adorable dog.

Ms Hall direction of this film about colour in the US is fabulous. The opening told with no musical score and muffled sound brings the tension up to the meeting when Clare reveals she is passing.

The use of black and white also highlights the differences.
