Station Eleven (2021)
Extremely good
Great plot, great cast, great acting, fantastic directing. This is a highly poetic slow paced tale about how a group of people survived a pandemic that killed most of the planet's population, and how they continue to survive. It's about loss, hope, community and love. You should watch it.
Folk med ångest (2021)
Surprisingly good
I almost stopped watching after the first episode, but glad I didn't. I ended up bingeing the whole thing in one sitting. It's a touching and heartwarming crime mystery set in a small(?) town of Sweden. The episodes reveal the stories of all the hostages in a well paced and well played manner. However, it's not a comedy even thought Netflix claimes it is, which was also part of the reason I almost stopped watching, cause I had the wrong expectations. It is somewhat quirky, and it's well worth the watch.
Doom Patrol (2019)
Ridiculously good
It's not for everyone, but for those who like shows like these will probably love it. If you like superheroes and the supernatural, but like me have fallen off the highly commercialised mundane Avengers, Spider-Man, Batman franchises a long time ago, this might be for you. I love it!
Shadow and Bone (2021)
I liked it, but it feels a bit rushed
This series has a lot going for it and I liked it, but it feels quite rushed. Too many coincidences and strange behavior by the characters make up for somewhat lazy storytelling, where you're left with the feeling they had to cut corners (I.e. The Nina plotline). And at times the directing and editing is sub par, making it seem like confusing day time drama.
However, good cast, interesting story, good scenography and special effects. I will continue watching. I just hope it will improve a bit.
After Life (2019)
Highly overrated
I like Ricky Gervais, but firstly this show is extremely sentimental venturing into the embarrassing at times. Basically the concept is a guy who feels sorry for himself all the time. Therefore he treats everyone around him badly. That could have been fine if that's was the print of the show, but the point is rather saying that that behaviour is ok because everybody else are idiots. So Gervais' character keeps being set up with odd characters who mostly say and do stupid things so Gervais' can tell them off and share a bit of his life philosophy. It's just a bit contrived, and most of the heartfelt scenes (and there are a few) are cringeworthy.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016)
One of the best series ever made
This is hands down one of the best series ever made and it tears me up inside they're not making another season. Why?! For the love of God! Why!??
But for real thought: you should definitely watch this if you like incredibly well produced, casted, directed and written series. It's funny, quirky and extremely imaginative.
