I watched all 3 seasons now and the episodes are getting better and better. It may be sometimes a bit over the top, but this show is brimming with good dialogue, interesting situations, action and complex characters. As a Romanian, I can appreciate fully the dialogue, which in English may not be translated totally, and it is sometimes hilarious. So many funny expressions appear which are used by the bottom of society, thugs, etc. Of course the show is a bit exaggerated, it is not a true depiction of life in Romania, but the characters are very vivid and situations are as good as those I saw in Narcos or Sopranos.

So this show is definitely worth the watch. It has some of the best Romanian actors. HBO Europe deserves kudos for making this series, and they should continue with other Romanian series in the future. Romanian theatre is extremely good, as well as some films (especially older ones), but now is the time to bring all this talent and ideas to make good tv series.

This movie is a poorly conceived politically correct hodge-podge of references to other sf movies. Its premise is promising and could have been a truly interesting film, but as it is, it seems incomplete and very lacking in its script. It has a lot of inconsistencies and illogical scenes. The acting of John Washington is monotonous and quite poor, it feels he got this role only because he is the son of Denzel. The whole premise of humans, simulants and robots bonding like real people seems far-fetched and illogical. Also the political correctness is ridiculous--east Asia is good, the West is bad; humans are mostly bad, but robots and simulants are good! The main character Joshua has no remorse killing many humans, but is very touchy-feely about hurting robots and simulants... Why so much crying in this film, are robots able to cry without programming? The premise of the movie that robots and simulants are just people is moronic, the AI would have capabilities far beyond humans in terms of computing, reflexes, speed, memory, etc. They would not be crying, loving, praying, etc.

The movie has many scenes reminiscent of Blade Runner, Matrix, I robot, Elysium, Total Recall, etc. However they are badly put together, the movie is not convincing. For eg the simulants and robots live alongside humans, and even have religious beliefs?! Why were they created and by whom? Why some are robots, and other simulants (robots with human face)? Why were many simulants on board of the Nomad, which was American thus free of robots? And if Nomad was so powerful, why didn't it find the simulants sooner? There appears also a machine with many tentacles like those in Matrix, but why is it attacking Joshua, what was its purpose otherwise?

I give this movie 3 stars instead of 2, only because it has nice CGI. So it's ok to watch once if you are SF fan (like me), however the dumb plot is annoying and the movie as a whole is disappointing.

I saw the latest Indiana Jones, it is ok, but I hope it is the last one! It is ridiculous to force an old man of 80 years or so to play movie after movie. Indiana Jones was/is an action adventure, and it is really not suited for an 80-year od to play something like this. What 80year old can punch 2-3 young guys, then run, then jump, then climb, etc. It is too much... realy.. just stop. The movie itself was quite fun, although I didn't really like the character of Helen. I liked that the movie was about the Antykythera mechanism, which is a real discovery and stil holds some mysteries. The movie tries all the old tricks, paranorml activity, crawlers, bugs, snakes/eels, ancient relics, Indiana's hat and whip, a boy, an old friend (Baz), old codes/languages, Arhimedes, etc. However, this should really be the LAST film, in this series.
