The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
Layers of intrigue with 20/20 hindsight
We all know where Snow is going to end up. We simply want to know the steps that made him become so ruthless. I was honestly surprised by the reveals in this narrative of Snow which shows that he is far more worldly than I took him for initially. The layers of intrigue include speculation on whether Snow was a victim of happenstance or if an influencer manipulated his life from behind the scenes. Hhhmmmm....this circumstance is never revealed, but it can be implied from the way the narrative unfolds. On the one hand, Snow is young and ambitious. On the other hand, he is somewhat naive and impressionable. Theater viewers are left to wonder who is playing the long game.
Social Distance (2020)
Behind the scenes drama
Anthology covering various perspectives of the progress of the pandemic. A walk in other people's shoes, if you will. Each episode is a stand alone story with plenty of drama to evoke empathy for characters in unique situations. It can leave you wanting more resolution to some episodes. Overall, the series is enlightening and entertaining.
Limitless (2015)
Very creative twist on the feature film!
I saw the movie Limitless, and it was OK. The ending was morally questionable. I love what the TV show did with the power mental pill. Brian is a morally questionable character also, but it's because of the situation he finds himself in. This circumstance drives the drama arc of the show. Episodes are action peppered with drama and a heaping of immature humor that makes Brian endearing. I enjoyed watching the season again recently on Netflix
