Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Decent pacing but derivative. Needs more convincing firefights. Solid performances mask the cheesiness. Still entertaining and funny.

The October Country  is a collection of 19 short stories by Ray Bradbury (b. 22 August 1920 – d. 5 June 2012). A larger collection that...

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

Nothing particularly original but good pacing, production and performances. Overall, both films are still solid and enjoyable.

Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.

Plot follows nurse working in the psychiatric ward. Good balance in tone. Good performances. Some structural clumsiness but a decent series.

Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

Tacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.

Office infidelity mystery-thriller. Sounds totally stupid, but is actually a solid drama about the subject, including its consequences.

Character-driven series. Tries to balance dark and light, both in terms of storytelling and visually. Mostly looks good but a bit bloated.

Revenge drama with somewhat simple plot and characters. Nothing great but it is sufficiently captivating to keep one watching to the end.

Red panda with her work and personal life problems. Vents by singing death metal. Relatable and amusing if you are into that type of humor.

Good but not great. Decent writing and performances. Nicely shot. Worth watching if one is interested in the genre.

Fails to fully utilize an interesting premise—a lost opportunity thematically. But, strangely, it may still be a likable series.

Twist-filled mystery/thriller about the corrupt imperial family in alternative present-day Korea. Ridiculous but addictive.

Attempts to be a supernatural thriller-drama. Formulaic in many respects. Nothing bad but nothing special either.

My Verdict: An amusing supernatural-fantasy drama. Excellent cast. Beautifully lit and shot. But female lead’s past is not well handled.

Interesting premise with potential. It’s a show that I want to like, but some of the characters are difficult to sympathize...
