Doctor Who: The Star Beast (2023)
Spot on
I couldn't catch it live unfortunately, so i watched it in my sheets at nighttime. One has to admit The Star Beast is far from the best episode of Doctor Who. It's (too) fast paced, really cheesy in some places, its music overstays its welcome one too many times. The twist villain isn't all that twisty, the sonic screwdriver really serves as an all-powerful mcguffin. But it's also thrilling from beginning to end, funny, action-packed, heartfelt, and a promising glimpse into things to come. Most importantly, it is making me go to sleep dreaming of stars and travel. That hasn't happened in a long time. So thank you Doctor Who. Damn, you did it again.
The ABC Murders (2018)
YES, we ALL know it's not faithful
I mean come on, guys, move on !
It's a bad adaptation of the Christie classic. It does not share nor (is that a word ? I don't know, I'm french) the precise events and characters nor the overall feeling of the book. Now, could we PLEASE try to actually evaluate this show's quality as its own piece of art ?
It's awesome. Way darker than any Christie novel. The genius of it is to have made it a story about Poirot. He is not the Poirot we're used to, it's an old man, tired and sad.
I love how they made it his last mystery. I love the acting. The music. The writing is phenomenal.
What is wrong with you people ?
