The Old Guard (2020)
I guess it really is all personal preference
It's kind of ironic that a mediocre review mentioned that the antagonistic was an "evil cartoonish character" given the fact it was based on a comic. That being said, I, personally loved the movie. The soundtrack was great, the action high-octane and the graphics were seamless (which for a movie based well outside the conform of reality is important so as not to take you out of the story - ie: when a person's intestines literally heal in front of your eyes). Was it perfect? ... no, it had it's standard cliche moments. But definitely top notch.
Summer of 84 (2018)
Nostalgic to say the least
Definitely better than I expected. Growing up in the 80's, it gave me a major flash of nostalgia, but was also quite well done to boot. Acting was spot on and I liked how they gave each teen their own backstory on top of the overall mystery.
Metod (2015)
Won't make sense unless you watch to the end.
This is one of those shows that only comes full circle in the last 20 minutes (episode 16). I'm not going to lie, when I first started it, I asked myself several times why I was watching it. It was completely far fetched (by American standards) but the dynamic between the lead characters was absolutely amazing and the story within the stories was breathtaking. You don't even realize how caught up in it you are until suddenly it's down to the wire and you have one episode left. And let me tell you, I don't think I've ever been as invested in the characters of a show so much since The Tunnel (french). But you really have to watch it through to the end because those last minutes weave the entire story together so intricately that it's stunning. Truly an amazing experience I will not soon be forgetting.
Dicte (2013)
Excellent Crime Drama
Thankfully Netflix has added the first season of this to its streaming lineup otherwise I would never have even heard of it. I was hooked from the first episode and even though it was subtitled, soon you get so caught up in it you don't even realize you're still reading. Although Dicte is the main character, there is no shortage of surrounding characters whose stories are just as deep that you find yourself wanting to see more of them. The setting is beautiful, the stories intertwine perfectly from one to the next and the cast is superb.
My only complaint is that they haven't released the second season anywhere that I can view it, so I will have to wait, albeit impatiently, for the next episodes. If only America had more shows like this, I'd never leave the house.
