Beef (2023)
Why I gave it a 9
Using a 9-based gematria system the numerical values for the title "Beef" is 18. 1 + 8 = 9.
So I rate this series a 9, because it is the most fitting thing for this series, produced by A24, the same production company which made "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once".
No point in going over the plot. Others have done so well. Both of the key characters have close to rock bottom experiences. Through their immediate connections this 10-part series takes the viewers through event after event which viscerally moves you through the rainbow of human experiences and states of minds, including well-scripted and acted archetypal personalities of our times.
I think the less you know in beforehand, the more profound your experience may be watching it.
Ancient Apocalypse (2022)
It will either tickle your imagination, or wrath.
This Netflix series will either inspire or attract ridicule. I don't think there will be much in-between.
If I were to shape my world view exclusively based on peer-reviewed pieces of science I would live in the most dull, meaningless and senseless world possible.
When I acknowledge that I don't know about something, I love some fresh perspectives which let me evaluate based on at least something so banal as what probability could this have?
If your conclusion is that the probability of what's presented is next to non-existent then this mini-series is not for you.
If you, even if you didn't understand why but seemed to relate, however unexplainable, to something about this series, I can highly recommend it.
I gave Michael Polland's mini-series, How To Change Your Mind, a 10 because it communicated from the heart, from the beginning to the end.
I'll give this an 8 because how much it can engage your mind, if you let it.
But the Spartan 300 trailer soundtrack and ultra-dramatic narration maybe expressed the creator's enthusiasm and sense of urgency more than analyzing what people will relate to.
Regardless, I believe this series will be a starting point of a massive movement of questioning our past, and to be fair, that was its intention all along 😊I don't think it is meant to convince, but meant to make you try on a wider perspective.
Atypical (2017)
The Most Real Thing You've Ever Seen!
I have never commented on ANYTHING before, but Atypical is the warmest and most sincere and real, while lovely quirky, TV series I have ever seen.
