Songbird (2020)
Haters gonna hate I guess
It wasn't great but it is a solid 6. I'd lean towards a 7. Wish that I could give it a 6-1/2. The main line is pretty predictable. There are a few interesting twists and the acting is actually pretty good. This is definitely worth a watch. It captures the sense of 2020 into 2021 well. I honestly can't imagine what the world would look like after 3+ years of isolation but this could be a pretty good guess.
Outcast (2016)
Watchable, maybe good, not great.
Binged the first two seasons and I'm not really that impressed. It was sad to draw parallels between the characters in Outcast and the Walking Dead but there are just so many of the same characters. The two seasons were worth watching. If you haven't seen much of the Walking Dead then the characters will be new to you at least.
The saddest part is that the adaptation to film is very poor when compared to the Walking Dead. Much of the video production of Outcast feels very much like a graphic novel translated almost as-is to film which is a shame.
Unbelievable (2019)
Just plain exceptional
Everything about this miniseries is perfect. Kaitlyn Devers surprised me. I expected Toni Collette was excellent as usual. The writing, acting, and pacing were spot on. Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys crime dramas.
Virtual Revolution (2016)
Straight forward sci-fi
Acting isn't great, but it is passable. The story is quite good -- almost classic sci-fi. Definitely worth the watch.
