Sweet Home
2020

6.5/10

This is a horror series that plays out more like a character drama.

It debuted on Netflix around December 2020 and I had been watching about an episode a week back in February 2021.

This is a slow series. It's why I had been watching about an episode a week.

It does have action and suspense in each episode, but it's not enough to hold you. This is not a series if you suffer from TV ADHD, if you suffer from it, you will not make it past episode one for sure.

The SFX and VFX is done well with the monsters and violence. The series looks godd and clean visually. The premise is interesting and it does play out well.

For the Thirsty, there are a couple of cuties in the series. No nudity or sexy outfits are worn, so don't get yourself excited.

If you looking for something to watch to stretch out over some time, this should do. There are 10 episodes that run for about 45min.

The series is from Korea and Netflix has it dubbed in English. Subtitles are used when signage is shown.

Synopsis

As humans turn into savage monsters, one troubled teenager and his neighbours fight to survive and to hold onto their humanity.

Sweet Home
Season 2

5/10

The 2nd season debuted this past New Years weekend and I finished it up this morning at home.

The season picks up directly after the events of season one, the main change is the characters are out of the apartment complex and out in the world.

The season is a slow burn like the first. The season doesn’t hold up as the first mainly due to the fact in the first season the characters were stuck in a apartment complex not knowing what was going on along with trying to figure out how to fight the monsters with hand made weapons. This season the military is involved using heavy weapons which takes away from the suspense.

We get a good amount of information on the monsters and how the government/private sector is involved. New characters are introduced.

The seasons last two episodes tried to go the same direction as first season but fell flat. The final scene sets it up for a 3rd season along with taking it too a different direction than seasons 1/2.

Season 3 has been completed and Netflix plans on releasing it later this year. Like I pointed out, it’s a slow burn series. I pretty much watched one episode a week to allow me to soak it in. It’s not a binge watching series, especially if you suffer from TV ADHD.

Ultraviolet
1998

7.5/10

This series popped up in my tubi recommendations after I watched the earlier film I reviewed “Tales From The Crypt”. I watched a episode a day in the morning before starting my work day this week and finished this morning at home.

I had never heard of this series so when I looked it up, I discovered it originally released on BBC in England. It later debuted on the SyFy channel in the early 2000s. They made a US pilot to reboot it starring Idris Elba, but it never made it past the pilot.

The series revolves around Vampires. The Vampires come out of hiding prior to this shows debut due to the effects of climate change and its affects on the human populations blood supply quality.

Without spoiling it, there are some other things going on with the Vampires.

This is a 6 episode series, each episode runs about 50 minutes. The producers did a good job making it a “Limited Series” in case it did not get renewed. You can watch it like that, even though the last 20 minutes of the season finale is going to get you Thirsty for more.

The series is a slow burn and has a similar vibe to the “The X-Files”. The main plot of this series would be perfect for Ryan Cooglers upcoming “X-Files” reboot instead of it focusing on Aliens.

Idris Elba co-stars. While watching you gonna think he is “Luther”. His character has the same demeanor and behavior of Luther. He also does the hands in the pocket bit. You can clearly see he used this character for Luther.

For the Militants, there is some interracial tension between Idris and his White female co-star. Nothing is shown.

Synopsis

The six-episode series, first aired in 1998, stars Jack Davenport as Detective Sergeant Michael Colefield, who discovers a secret government vampire-hunting unit while investigating the disappearance of his partner. Made up of soldier Vaughn Rice, scientist Angela March and Catholic priest Pearse J Harman, the unit's goal is to track down and exterminate people infected with a disease called `Code 5', which is transmitted via a neck bite. Colefield inadvertently becomes part of the unit after he finds his partner too late - he's already infected, and Michael is forced to `kill' him.

Griselda




I'm four episodes in and by the middle of episode 2 I started buying into Sofia Vergaras performance as Griselda. I can tell they are pulling back on a few things by the way they structured the episodes and how they chose to write her personality but it's still entertaining to watch.




Zorro on Amazon





I'm enjoying this new take of the legendary characters. I like his network of allies. It's nice to see so many familiar faces from various Spanish series I've watched over the years. I liked how they brought out the repercussions of Zorros actions.So many good story paths and interesting characters. Looking forward to more episodes.

True Detective : Night Country




So many writers are choosing to set their murder mysteries in these remote and cold areas of the world and i love it. So far this season is pretty good heaped in mystery and people who may or not be sinister,with secrets that are well kept and other secrets not so much.The most shocking thing are the sex scenes that come out of nowhere and also who's in them...HA HA !! The only maybe bad twist is that there is a character that is into or leans into mysticism and old tribal lore so much so i start to think is the character seeing things or is it real?
Im all in though.

4/10

This is a supernatural, thriller series based on a Stephen King novel.

I mainly watched this cuz my future ex-wife Melanie Lynskey co-stars. She was in her early 20s filming this and she looks like a senior in junior high school.

This is a 3 part miniseries with each part running about a 1.5 hrs.

The first part is character introductions and backstory of the Haunted House.

The 2nd and 3rd parts gets into the supernatural stuff. There isn’t anything knew with the plot/premise and no scares or surprises.

The series is cast with well known veteran B-List actors and B-List actors at the start of their acting career.

Like a lot of Stephen King novels, they all don’t transfer well to the live scene.

It’s pretty much predictable. Watch if you live supernatural stuff and don’t care about quality.

I watched it on Hulu, it’s the only place streaming. On regular Hulu they have it loaded down with 7 commercial breaks which is odd. Normally 90 minute stuff has 3 commercial breaks in the first 45 minutes. They normally overload content with commercials if they know people will be watching because of a upcoming sequel.
