The Wheel of Time (2021)
It's better than Rings of Power at least
I'm not a big fan of Jordan's story, I only read his first three books.
However, the source material is huge for the story and there are plenty of interesting character arks to explore in WoT.
I didn't have much faith for this show as it's an Amazon product so I can't say I was disappointed. There are alot of things to like in the show so if you are not a big fan of Jordans work or don't expect much, you can find entertainment here.
Actors are quite competent and I love Rosemunds Pike presence on the screen. It's also somewhat faithful to the book (as far as I remember), though that should not be praised really... should be a default standard when taking on such grand stories.
If they make another season I would check it out hoping they learn from mistakes and act upon fixing them. Plenty of opportunity here to make a great TV show. Just dont let "crazy" people get near the making of it.... :D
At least it's far better then the scandalously awful Tolkien show they butchered.
Duggholufólkið (2007)
very good children horror story
This movie is the best icelandic horror movie. I recommend you watch it. Its about a boy who is alone with his stepsister and she calls a ghost to be with them.

Ratched (2020)
Only watchable if you are interested in aesthetics
This was a weird show for me to watch.
Its wonderful to watch for the share beauty. It's like a painting so I love the visual art that this show has to offer.
The acting is also quite good and complimentary towards the atmosphere.
However, the story is simply unbelievable and all over the place. Just plain stupid. Not a good premise for the wonderful film (Cuckoo's nest) and the great character (Nurse Ratchet) in that movie.
Watch and enjoy the show by muting the TV.
Dopesick (2021)
Real Television!
With this show we are reminded of how good, real and powerful REAL TV shows and movies can be.
By REAL, I mean stories that really can impact people by being emotionally invested in real and serious events.
Dopesick is really good in digging into this horrible epidemic that has plagued the US for over 2 decades. My hope is that as many people watch it, learn from it and move on with that knowledge between their ears in their future.
Thank you, writers/producers/directors/actors of Dopesick!
Midnight Mass (2021)
Has potential but a very flawed series
Like most things, Midnight Mass has its flaws and positives.
Pros:
Original Story. (wow that is a rare find these days, right?)
Very good setting: Really like the atmosphere in this small island community
Actor: On the grand scale I thought the actors did a great job.
Cons:
A bit pretensious and shallow: Too many silly character cliches - such things annoy me because they make them shallow and unauthentic
Long winded: Many looooong scenes that becone very boring and not necessary for the story to progress
On the whole:
If you are not expecting something spectacular, you will not be dissapointed.
Justice League (2017)
A lesson in a downward spiral
I wasn't disappointed, I expected this gibberish mess of a movie. I hope they just stop now. Leave the space open for something good and meaningful please!
