The story of superhero The Tick, based on the popular comic book.

Excellent short series starring Partick Warburton as The Tick, in a great incarnation of the superhero. Nestor Carbonell (Lost) does also a great job giving life to Batmanuel. Seven popcorns for this very short (9 episodes at 20 minutes each) that should have had many other seasons.

Every city has its secrets. HBO presents this epic series about the furious historical events that saw the birth of the Roman Empire.

This is basically un-woke Game of Thrones, but with the story rooted in history. It’s direct, well made, well acted and the dicks painted on the walls are very historically accurate. All in all, seven popcorns for one of the best TV shows out there.

Common People

When a medical emergency leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive.

Good jab at the realities of today’s services. Six popcorns.

Bête Noire

Confectionary whizz kid Maria is unnerved when her former schoolmate Verity joins the company she works at - because there’s something altogether odd about Verity, something only Maria seems to notice.

Weird and mysterious, this one will take you unexpected places. Six popcorns.

Hotel Reverie

A high-tech, unusually immersive remake of a vintage British film sends Hollywood A-list star Brandy Friday into another dimension, where she must stick to the script if she ever wants to make it home.

Divisive episode, most people will not like it. I’m not very fond of it, although I liked the old movie vibe. Awkafina manages to be only mildly annoying, so that’s something good I guess. Three popcorns.

Plaything

In a near-future London, an eccentric murder suspect is linked to an unusual video game from the 1990s - a game populated by cute, evolving artificial lifeforms.

Loved to see the Colin Rittman / Tuckersoft tie-in and the ton of easter eggs, but the episode is not as strong as I expected. Loved the performance of Peter Capaldi. Four popcorns.

Eulogy

An isolated man is introduced to a groundbreaking system that allows its users to literally step inside old photographs - stirring powerful emotions in the process.

Slow burning, heart wrenching episode, loved the performance of Paul Giamatti. Five popcorns.

USS Callister: Into Infinity

Robert Daly is dead, but now the crew of the USS Callister - led by Captain Nanette Cole - are stranded in an infinite virtual universe, fighting for survival against 30 million players.

Great follow up to the awesome space-themed episode from Season Four. With great Star-Trek vibes, this keeps you at the edge of your seat with its good story and nice visuals. Six popcorns.

General opinion on Season Seven

We are sooooo back! Black Mirror is back with another strong season, featuring a good variety of episodes, good VFX (Loved the Eulogy episode from this point of view, but USS Calister: Into Infinity is also a very good looking episode). I’d say that you’ll find something nice for everyone in an episode at least, so all in all the season is worth watching. Six popcorns as it’s better than the previous one.

132 rooms. 157 suspects. 1 dead body. 1 wildly eccentric detective. 1 disastrous State Dinner. The Residence, a new series from Shondaland, is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion. Starring Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park, Susan Kelechi Watson and many more.

Great to see Uzo Adouba (Crazy Eyes from OINTB) in this new production alongside a great cast of famous actors, like Giancarlo Esposito, Ken Marino, Jason Lee, Mary Wiseman, Mel Rodriguez, or even Bronson Pinchot (Balki from Perfect Strangers). The production quality is very high, the mystery unfolds nicely just as in any other whodunnit private eye movie. Six popcorns for a binge-watching miniseries that goes to the Movie Vault.

Based on one of the best cartoons of the 1990s, this is well made, funny, Peter Serafinowicz does a great Tick and Griffin Newman does a great Arthur. Five popcorns.

Ten top UK comedians face off in Jimmy Carr’s challenge: make others laugh while keeping a straight face. They’ll try everything to crack their opponents, but must never break themselves.

One rule: you laugh, you lose. Some good comediantss good some good bits, some awkward bits and try not to laugh. And considering that British comedy is either hit or miss, some jokes land nice, others just fall flat. Four popcorns because some comedians really carry the weight of the show.

Following a cyber attack on a German bank, an investigator teams with local authorities and an elite hacker to track the suspects.

The premise is not bad, but the series suffers from pretty bad writing. Still it’sa decent TV series, as the bar is not very high in Romania, a good watch if you need some background music hwile doing something else. Three popcorns.

An orphaned teen hits the road with a mysterious robot to find her long-lost brother, teaming up with a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick.

Interesting small cyberpunk-ish retrofuturistic movie. While it looks like a combination of Fallout, Emoji Movie and Matrix, it’s a good watch for all young adults from 13 to 69 years old. Millie Bobby Brown is doing great, as always, and Chris Pratt is great with his handlebar mustache. All in all, this won’t be a masterpiece, but if you want to bonk two hours, then it’s a great way to do so. Four popcorns.

A complete graduating class, consisting of beautiful girls, geeks and promising footballers, assemble at a rich classmate’s residence for a party. Interesting developments follow at the get-together.

Can’t Hardly Believe I didn’t watch this movie until today., as it’s one of the source of inspiration for “Not Another Teen Movie”. This is a cult classic graduation party movie situated at the end of the nineties, features an all-star cast (Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Lauren Ambrose, Peter Facinelli, Seth Green, Donald Faison, Jamie Pressly, Jason Segel, Clea DuVall, Leslie Grossman). Moreover, the soundtrack is absolutely bonkers. This is definitely the kind of movie that won’t be made ever again. gets six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

A man travels around a city with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling invention.

Excellent documentary showcasing life at the end of the 1920s. A masterpiece from a cinematographic point of view, as it was pretty much non existent by then, it features techniques used by the director, or invented by him, like multiple exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, reversed footage, stop motion animations and self-reflexive visuals. The music complements the daily life in a wonderful way and although it’s only a bit over an hour, it’s an entertaining, educational movie, a window to a world gone now. Six popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.
