Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation (2019)
Another show about aliens on the History channel.
Same thing as always, fringe claims about unknown objects, riddled with unwarranted speculations and "witnesses" who are puzzled by something they saw and somehow became convinced that a bird was an alien craft.
It's shameful that an educational channel is spreading misinformation, purposefully, without serious analysis and counter arguments to the claims they have decided to air. I guess Nazi documentaries don't pay off as much as this kind of content, but at least Nazi documentaries are historical. Perhaps history channel should just come up with a subscription model instead of airing deceitful shows to boost audiences.
Perdidos (2017)
Why?!
This is a poor remake of an already unexceptional movie.
A remake could make sense if there were significant cultural barriers or if the original was based on such old technologies that people wouldn't watch it anymore (like Metropolis - black and white, silent, old timey effects, etc, but still a story that can be made interesting to the public again if presented in a more modern format).
But they didn't remake 1927's Metropolis, they remade an average 2006 movie (itself already a sequel to a very similar and very average movie) which last aired on Portuguese TV's not that long ago. Not only did they not do a good job, but they resorted to what seems to be the reason behind the choice: getting a couple high profile Portuguese actresses to be semi-naked, which invariably attracts Portuguese viewers. It is a cheap shot in too many ways.
