We finally finish this amazing series on HBO about black families living through the Jim Crow era and fighting not only against racism but witchcraft. Based on a book which in turn is based on H.P Lovecraft horror stories. A known racist in his time. Ain’t that a bitch?
Black Box (amazon prime)
As a fan of Blumhouse films, I saw that Amazon was going to release a set of horror/Drama movie for their prime subscription. One of these happened to be a black cast movie that had a very interesting concept with identity or your soul
After losing his wife and memory in a car accident, a single father undergoes an agonizing experimental treatment that causes him to question who he really is
Perry Mason (HBO)
We were pretty stoked to sit down and see this beloved legal detective drama we use to watch staring Raymond Burr. Now that HBO took a stab at it. We wanted to see if it was worth the watch.
Legal drama set in 1932 Los Angeles and based on novels and short stories penned by Erle Stanley Gardner
Tenet - back to the movies
Being a huge Christopher Nolan Fan I was not going to let the Corona Virus stop me from seeing his new movie spectacular with his Black lead star. This mind bending action thriller puts you back into the "inception" mind set of where things are going. Not really sure where this one is going but we went to the movies just to see it
Homecoming season 2
I sit down and watch the second season of home coming, confused with the story line and what new direction they would go to. Also some characters that I was not too fond of but decided to give this one a go. This is also an Amazon Prime series.
WestWorld Season 3 (HBO)
Alicia and I get into the 3rd season of the acclaimed HBO series WestWorld. As extraordinary as the first 2 seasons were, we didn't know what to expect from this season because it seems as though it ended as a mystery not as a continuation. Here’s our thoughts
Killing Eve (Season 3)
This time Alicia and I amp dead into season 3, yes we saw season 2. We enjoyed it to the extent that we had to wait until the whole 8 episode was over so we could binge watch the whole thing. This was a different presentation than the other two but worth watching as a fan
Eve's life as a spy is not adding up to what she had hoped it would be when she started. She is a bored, very smart, MI5 security officer who is very desk-bound. Villanelle is a very talented killer, mercurial in mood, who clings to the luxuries of her job. Eve and Villanelle go head to head in a fierce game of cat and mouse, each woman equally obsessed with the other as Eve is tasked with hunting down the psychopathic assassin. Sarah Barnett, BBCA president, says, " `Killing Eve' stands out in a sea of scripted stories as refreshingly entertaining and great fun.
Trapped (Iceland) Amazon Prime
This crime drama follows members of a police department as they try to uncover a mystery against the elements. In a fjord near a small Icelandic town, a ferry arrives from Denmark with 300 passengers -- but only their journey stops here. A storm overhead and a treacherous blizzard prevent the ferry and the townspeople from leaving the remote area. When a dismembered, mutilated body washes up onshore, the local police realize a murder has taken place just hours earlier. Everybody trapped in the vicinity immediately becomes potential suspects and chaos descends as they try to find the killer
Defending Jacob
Apple TV + has a few shows on their channel that seems pretty interesting that we took the time to check out when it came up. This month it was Captain America (Chris Evans) playing a lawyer who's son is a suspect for killing another child. The drama in which we go through pulls you back and forward of did he do it or didn't he. 8 episodes and an open ended conclusion of did his son really do it. This also was based on a book that was written in 2012 by a lawyer and writer.
The Plagues of Breslau (Netflix)
Another Netflix foreign film, and this one is from Poland. Not many movies or shows I've seen come out of Poland but this one seemed like something worth while seeing. This is the summary. After a body is found sewn inside of a cow hide. A local detective discovers a killer is recreating an 18th century "plague" of criminal punishments on a bunch of bad people. Now, does this sound like something we have seen before?
