Beef (2023)
It grows into a binge!
The show is the epitome of "give it a chance". The direction of the plot is unknown early, but soon deepens very rapidly. How it grows so complex based on such a simple premise is brilliant.
If you like being blindsided time and time again, this show is for you! .
It's one of those rare shows that never needs to have an ending. If you felt that way as you watched Breaking Bad, you know what I'm talking about--once the show starts rolling it becomes so addicting, you never want to think about the end, you just want more.
Very dark yet filmed in a cartoonish way which somehow keeps it light. Thanks to A24, it's unique in a time when everyone else is grasping at straws.
Road to Perdition (2002)
The single thing I would change
Drumroll please ...the casting of Tom Hanks. BOOM!
Seeing him cast in this role is what kept me from seeing it at the theater initially. Years later, watching it on Netflix, I felt the same.
The film is undoubtedly easy on the eyes & a must watch. The supporting cast is memorable, the score, costume design & set design are top notch. I just didn't believe the lead character as Tom Hanks. Certain aspects of the character were made for him, while others were too much of a stretch. Make no mistake, I'm certainly not knocking his performance. I wish I wasn't such a big fan of his, I'm sure I would have enjoyed this one even more.
Servant (2019)
I see the ramp & the pool & the shark
Season 1: Wow! Unique & exciting Great writing & well directed & spot on cast.
Season 2: Ooo, can't wait. I wonder what could be next?! Same everyone, same plot, plus some over the top bizarre. OK
Season 3: C'mon, more of the same? Can't be. Please tell me there's more. Please!
Just like all M. Night's latest stuff. Intriguing but falls flat. I'm certain there is more from him, but not sure it's coming on this series.
