A miniseries told around the Soviet Chernobyl disaster.
A tense, decently-paced look at how communist lies spell disaster, and how communism once again cost tens of thousands and almost tens of millions of lives.

A bunch of superheroes aren’t so super.
Awesome, but I had to stop watching because I was recommended not to.

A kickass preacher is infected with a power, and for some reason there’s a vampire.
Maybe it has potential, but it’s scatterbrained and kept sliding into slow moody boringness.

An underclass punk, returning from a ten month flight from the country, happens upon a suicide that reveals that she is part of a larger picture.
The lead actor is particularly good, as is all the acting. The story is poor in a number of places, and it is particularly jarring to have literal-faggotry forced into it. I don’t mind there happening to be gay characters, but when they’re gay characters being gay because gayness yay gay gay as opposed to just being people who happen to be gay, it’s so obvious and so insulting as to taint the whole fucking show.
I’ll flag this as liked and lightly-recommended. It’s really not all that awful, but it rubs me the wrong way. It’s like girly science fiction drama-whatever.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
- German is unnecessarily sprinkled throughout this movie.

Crude and un-funny.

Pseudo-immortality is reached when alien technology allows humans to save their consciousnesses to reusable disks, and a criminal’s disk is brought online from deep storage, for him to investigate the crime against an ancient and powerful man.
Finally, a science fiction show with real depth and darkness. Highly recommended.
I forgot season 1 and so it basically goes to confusing shit in season 2 so I gave up.
