Sahmaran (2023)
Interesting, romantic and atmospheric supernatural thriller
The 2 leads are top notch and their chemistry is palpable. Despite a slow burn in episode 1
the story starts to hit its stride in episode 2. Production values are very high and the blending of contemporary gender themes with mythology is clever and ambitious. Some of the supporting cast are a bit hammy but overall this is another impressive show out of Turkey. If you enjoyed The Gift then this is a natural progression. The first season is set up for a return and I really hope it does for Season 2! I wish Netflix would invest in second seasons like they once used to!
On a side note, the myriad 1 star reviews for this show feel like a set up and are ridiculously harsh.
Invasion (2021)
Awful, self absorbed drama of the most tedious and frustrating kind
A massive disappointment. Such self absorbed, selfish, characters it makes you feel like humanity deserves to be wiped out (you certainly are hoping most of the lead characters will be). The most invasive aspect is the the heavy handed, over bearing music. Awful across the board this smacks of entitlement and western privilege.
