In summary, "The Bondsman" is a series that defies expectations from its outward appearance as a B-movie trading on Kevin Bacon's fame. Instead, it emerges as a series that creates a new kind of demon-hunter universe, seamlessly blending horror with social satire, along with a complex family drama. It skillfully integrates musical dreams into the demon storyline. Although limited by the short duration of each episode, which makes the demon-fighting scenes end too quickly, it still delivers fun and creepy action sequences filled with Kevin Bacon's unique charm. This is a series that is highly recommended not to miss!

A stunning historical political drama from Spain in the 1930s about a modern mother who aims to raise her daughter as a genius destined to transform the world according to her ideological vision - combining Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Marx in a single individual. The young girl is an incredibly brilliant prodigy, despite living primarily within the confines of her home.

The film portrays societal transformation through Spain's first democratic election, with her serving as the intellectual core of the winning political party. As she ventures into the wider world, her relationship with her mother becomes increasingly conflicted. The narrative unfolds as a dramatic philosophical and political dialogue, rich with intellectual debate and passionate exchanges.

Those deeply passionate about politics will especially appreciate this film, and it's particularly recommended for those who are drawn to pure ideological narratives. An absolute must-watch for those who love intellectual and political discourse.

A small film from Stelana Kliris, a newcomer filmmaker who is a South African-Cypriot woman. This is the first Cypriot film to be released worldwide through Netflix. Previously, she had only worked on small short films. However, for her first full-length feature, it's incredible how well she both wrote and directed it, surpassing the quality of many Netflix Original productions.

A small romantic comedy that stands out in many ways, surpassing many original Netflix productions. From the unique plot details centered around the "most popular suicide spot and love", which the story intertwines deeply with the complex romantic past of the male lead who is a former rock star. The film also incorporates music, seamlessly blending it into the story as if it were a musical. I highly recommend not overlooking this small film.
