El conde (2023)
Love or hate
My first review here.
When I first spotted the title on Netflix, I was intrigued and immediately looked at the reviews. The mix of positive and negative comments told me this could be one of those love or hate movies, possibly a low budget one. The fact that its a vampire horror movie I immediately watched it.
I did not regret it. This movie is different, dark and has a dry sense of humour. It is also quite violent and has an interesting plot, which I will not spoil here. I love the dark atmosphere and historical vibe. I flinched a couple of times, especially during the scenes of the french revolution.
Because this movie is not everyone's cup of tea and so different from the mainstream, I would recommend you watch it. The dialogues and acting is superb.
Foundation (2021)
It's not that bad.
I read all the Foundation books and the Robot series by Isaac Asimov. Some of them multiple times. I am a fan of his many works.
This series diverges quite a bit from the books.
Especially the character of Demerzel, who is supposed to be the wisest character and several millennia old in the books. The character is also supposed to be a male looking robot, but I have absolutely no issues with a female cast for the series.
The rest of the story is great, apart from some cheesy comments from Harry Seldon here and there.
I still binge watched the whole first season though and am looking forward to season 2.
