Community: App Development and Condiments (2014)
Top many fives
The only reason this episode is not rated a 5 is because of all the ones ruining it for the rest.. just like the black mirror Nosedive episode it .. well dives into the idiocy of social media.. SO many topics are being adressed in such a cool level that I think it transpires the normal level of a tv show and it enters a whole new level of excellence. And I should know because I am a one becoming the new leadership.. No the new thing you want to be: a sheep cloacked as a wolf in a sheeps skin under a wolf unbrella with a sheep's pelt in my throne while shaming wolves for eating sheep and SO on ;)
Reacher (2022)
Solid adaptation with competative cast
I read all the books (some even twice) and I really like the series and the main character. Everything the book made stand out above the rest of the crime/action genre, it equally does so on the screen. The actors are well chosen with notably Reacher self but also Neigley, Roscoe and Finlay. Some (non-reading) 'fans' had a gripe about Reacher not winning every fight unscathed and got less easier wins to the end: the bad guys are some special forces from Venezuela who actually can fight (instead of the loads of big mouth bullies Reacher normally punches on the nose).
It follows the book very good and makes logical choices. Big advantage to be a series instead of a movie: way more time for storytelling and character dev. (yes even in a Reacher story there are character arcs).
I hope for a season 2 (until the last book) and hope that they also do the flashback stories (time in the 110th) with maybe a 10-15 year younger Reacher.
Tabula Rasa (2017)
Good suspense and very good acting
Got all the right ingrediënts for a good thriller/suspense series. The acting is very good, indeed top-notch. The story had its flaws but come on, have you watched Strangers Things really closely? Main atraction in this Belgian series is the mood.. very creepy and .. unsettling. Try and give it 3 episodes: you're hooked.
