Fargo: Season 1 (2014)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Set from January 2006 to February 2007, the season follows hitman Lorne Malvo (Thornton) who stops at a hospital in Bemidji, Minnesota following a car accident and influences local mild-mannered insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Freeman) with his violent and deceptive ways. Their meeting sets forth a series of murders throughout the city. Meanwhile, Deputy Molly Solverson (Tolman) of Bemidji and Officer Gus Grimly (Hanks) of Duluth attempt to solve several crimes across the state that they believe may be linked to Malvo and Nygaard.

I kept putting this off for a long while and only now I realize what a fool I’ve been. The show is absolutely great, the story is well told and it’s one of the best crime shows. I’m going to write about each seasons separately, as the show is not a series per se, as much as collection of mini-series only connected by their location and some easter eggs. However, the first Season is very strong, with great mystery and keeps you on the edge of the chair and I fucking binged these ten episodes in less than two days. Seven popcorns and gets into the Movie Vault for sure.

Reminds me I need to re-watch the feature movie, which I saw last time in 2015.

Sugar (2024-)

IMDb

Private detective John Sugar investigates the disappearance of Olivia, the beloved granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he unearths Siegel family secrets, old and new.

Great TV series with a film noir mood in a modern Los Angeles, about a private investigator on his trip to find some rich girl that went missing. But he finds out much more than he bargained for. There’s a twist athat everyone on forums spoke about, it’s right at the end of episode six. I loved the splices from old movies that really help moving the story, as well as being nice easter eggs. Five popcorns and can’t wait for Season Two, but don’t search for things about it, you will definitely get spoilers!**

Nier: Automata Ver1.1a (2023-)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

Continues the story of Nier: Automata Ver1.1a. In some places, you’ll see these as episodes 1 to 12 of Season 2, in other places, as episodes 13 to 24 of Season 1. Either way, the writing is great, completing the story of Humanity and its android protectors. Brilliant post-apocalyptic sci-fi watch, even if you’re not a fan of anime. Seven popcorns as well.

The Boys (2019-)

The Boys (2019-)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

A group of vigilantes set out to take down corrupt superheroes who abuse their superpowers.

Supes have been committing atrocities, which keep getting swept under the rug because they are revered by the adoring public. Billy Butcher recruits The Boys who have all been wronged by The Seven, the worldโ€™s most notorious superheroes, to bring them down and stop the corruption. Based on the best-selling comics by Garth Ennis, The Boys is a revenge story where the nobodies take on the somebodies.

The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven”, and their formidable Vought backing. Excellent raunchy and gorey and funny series, six popcorns and flies into the Movie Vault.

Los lunes al sol // Mondays in the Sun (2002)

Los lunes al sol // Mondays in the Sun (2002)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

This is the story of those who live as if every day was a constant Sunday, those who spend their Mondays in the sun. The story of people who worked in a dockyard but are now unemployed.

In a coastal town in northern Spain, which has seen its industrial development grow at an uncontrolled pace, a group of men walk its steep streets every day, looking for emergency exits. They are tightrope walkers at the end of the month, without a safety net and without an audience, without applause at the end; they live on the tightrope of precarious work and survive thanks to their small joys and routines. Great drama, great acting and the funny moments make the best of this. Four popcorns.

A young British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the streets of Belfast in 1971. Unable to tell friend from foe, and increasingly wary of his own comrades, the raw recruit must survive the night alone and find his way to safety through a disorientating, alien and deadly landscape. Good tension and drama and it makes up for a good movie. Four popcorns.

IMDb

Clarkson, Hammond and May ignore the instructions of Mr. Wilman and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own. Trip through the beautiful landscapes leads to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.

The personal exploits of a 16-year-old girl and her family and friends during the Troubles in the early 1990s in Northern Ireland.

This is a brilliant TV series telling the story of some kids and their adventures in Ireland during the 90s. It’s heartfelt, heartwarming and very well written. Seven popcorns for a show that perfectly mixes storytelling, comedy, drama and tragedy with good music, realistic acting and some really interesting guest stars. Seven popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.

Three misfit priests and their housekeeper live on Craggy Island, not the peaceful and quiet part of Ireland that it seems to be.

Hilarious little TV series, very easy to digest and a solid binge. Seven popcorn for one of the best and funniest TV series out there.

Wayward Pines - Season 2 (2016)

Wayward Pines - Season 2 (2016)

๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฟ / 5

IMDb

We pick up in the second season with Dr. Theo Yedlin (Jason Patric) being wooed away from a present-day tropical vacation with the prospect of helping save thousands of lives, which we all know means that Theo is about to wake up in Wayward Pines disoriented and unprepared to be introduced to the new reality.

Not as good as the first season, which was brilliant, but still a strong mystery/action tv series. Gets only 4 popcorns, because while it’s decent on its own, it is overshadowed by the first season.

IMDb

A quiet, unassuming man begins to change in a major way as a result of meeting a new, art-student girlfriend, and his friends are unsettled by the transformation.

Another great movie by the weird and exceptional Neil LaBute. Paul Rudd is brilliant, Rachel Weisz is fantastic and Gretchen Mol and Frederick Weller complete perfectly the cast. Five popcorns.
