Beautiful thriller series

[9/10 · 28 June 2020]

This thriller is beautifully shot! I found myself immersed quickly in the world they created and invested in the story thanks to the production quality and performances. I also loved the music! It's a quick watch, well worth your time.

Seltsam (2016– )

Beautifully done series!

[10/10 · 15 June 2019]

This series is incredibly well executed! The cinematography is gorgeous and the entire series is heartbreakingly beautiful. The performances are spot on- in particular, Larissa Vaiano. She is able to convey so many thoughts with one look. So glad I was able to check this show out!

Sagesse2rue (Tales4Today) (2018–2019)

Well done retelling of fables on short form!

[9/10 · 15 June 2019]

I'm a sucker for modern retellings and interesting takes on old stories. This series satisfies that love with short, well acted and fun episodes. The opening title sequence is particularly well done!

The Jersey Connection (2018– )

A well executed, gritty crime drama

[9/10 · 11 June 2019]

The Jersey Connection is a well executed crime drama. The writing and acting stand out as especially well done and a shout out to the special effects department for some great work!

The Holiest One (2019– )

Quirky, dark comedy for the win!

[9/10 · 11 June 2019]

This is a super fun, dark comedy with excellent acting! I've only watched the first few episodes but am looking forward to continuing the binge!

Neem's Themes (2016– )

Fun series!!

[10/10 · 10 June 2019]

Neem's Themes is a fun comedy that's easy to watch. Relatable, short and funny episodes make it a memorable series worth checking out!

The Hunted: Encore (2016– )

Music, Vampires- What More Can you Want?!

[10/10 · 10 June 2019]

This series is a fun take on the vampire genre! Growing up, I was a die hard fan of Buffy AND musicals so The Hunted: Encore is a no brainer. Extra points for a bad ass female lead and some female directing!
