Oasis is a pilot episode of a potential series available to Amazon Prime subscribers. The series has a similar story to Netflix’s Terra Nova that also portrays future where the Earth is destroyed due to excessive use of resources and people look for options at other planets, or in other time. However, unlikely for Terra…
New season of Netflix’s Riverdale promises to unfold new events in a lively little town of Riverdale. While one would say it is too much that all this is happening in such a small place, the directors managed to overcome that issue by actually saying so in the series. Thus, when discussing who tried to…
I like business reality shows so I regularly watch Dragon’s Den and The Apprentice on BBC, and I absolutely love both shows. Therefore, when I saw that Netflix recently added Shark Tank, which is the American version of the British Dragon’s Den I immediately got interested. I was not disappointed because Shark’s Tank is brilliant.…
If you enjoyed all Star Trek series before, you will love this one too. And, if you care about representation of minorities and women in the media and popular culture, you will love it even more. In Netflix’s version of Star Trek the story starts with a female captain Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) and female first…
Gypsy is a new series on Netflix, and I honestly do not know what to say about it. I knew right from the beginning that this would not be everybody’s cup of tea since there is lots of talk and thoughts, rather than action. But, I do like that especially when directors are telling us…
I watched this series as soon as it came out, and I did not let it go until I saw all episodes. So, there I am back to enthusiasm with Netflix’s programme and I clearly seem to be a fun of TV programmes based on really good and detailed research by their directors and writers…
Glow is a new series from Netflix, and it is coming from Andrew McCarthy, director of fabulous Orange is the New Black (OITNB), about which I have written already (see here and here and also here). Just like in OITNB, this show also celebrates women and their independence. Surprised I liked it, huh? This series portrays women trying…
Friends from College is a new series on Netflix, and it is about old friends from college (as the name says) who end up living together in the same city after living elsewhere for a while and partying as they used to when they were college students. However, they are still trying to grow up…
I always try to stay on a higher moral ground and refrain from revenging, and the 5th season of Orange is the New Black has vividly portrayed the decision making process when it comes to gaining power to hurt your enemy. In other words, the series demonstrated that vengeance eats people alive and turns them…
Anne with an “E” is a new series on Netflix based on a book ‘Anne of Green Gables’ (see here). I watched the series as soon as it was released but was too busy to write this blog to comment on it. Until now, that is. The series is a combination of classical stories we…
Riverdale is a new Netflix series, with 10 episodes broadcast by now. The new episode will be broadcast on 28th April (episode 11). At first, I thought it is a typical teenager series with one beautiful girl bullying everyone else due to her beauty and money. However, this series is much more than that, for…
New series from Netflix provides a brilliant insight into a mind of a broken teenager and circumstances that brought to her suicide. As I have written in my previous blog (see here), “the series portrays a life of a high school girl Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) who committed a suicide. Hannah experienced some of the…
13 Reasons Why is a new series on Netflix. It has 13 episodes and I just finished the fifth one (within the same day, as this is not a series one can easily let go). Needless to say, I will be doing a speedy watching of this series. As the series is quite powerful it…
Netflix has recently launched the Ultimate Beastmaster show with competitors from six countries. In the first round, competitors competed for becoming the beastmaster and then they will continue to the ultimate championship, i.e. 10 of them. Sylvester Stallone is one of the producers of the show heavily advertised to Netflix’s audiences around the globe. It…
Imagine a guy who is trying to blackmail you to have sex with him, and you eat him. Literally. First you bite two fingers off, and then continue until villain is gone. You must be asking yourself, what she’s on about in this blog. Well, I felt the same when I saw all first episode…
I noticed that many people ask what series to watch, and surprisingly some of them never heard of some of my favourite series. Some lists and blogs give advices on what to watch and my series are not there. It will be quite possible to argue that series I list do not encompass series listed…
Netflix started to broadcast second season of its series ‘Touch’. The series has already been broadcast in the United States (where it ended in 2015). In the UK, the first season of the series was broadcast last year (just that I did not see it until this year), and yesterday we were able to start…
For those of us who love the Big Bang Theory, Sky has turned out to be a quite handy subscription as they started to broadcast the 10th season. For me, this came in the perfect moment as I just finished watching the 9th season on Netflix. For those who are not watching the series yet,…
It is well known from previous blogs (see here and here) I am a fan of time travelling and series that portray social relations, and I will watch everything that offers those types of story line. Clearly, this preference has led to a strong attachment to Netflix as they indeed offer a lot to time travelling lovers like…
I read last week that Netflix has an information on when viewers get hooked up with a series. According to the information, viewers get hooked up to a series when watching episodes between two and eight (Kastrenakes, 2015). At first I raised my eyebrows, but then I thought about it again. Indeed, when I recently…
Since the turn of a new millennium, there seems to be an uprising in focus of many films and series on time travelling and the dark future ahead of us. It is enough to see the saga on The Hunger Games that offers the most exaggerated criticism of our current situation as well as criticism of…
