I’m a huge Neil Gaiman fan. I know I already wrote this on several occasions, but allow me one more time. Among his works, considering only novels and short stories, Neverwhere holds the sceptre but I’m not indifferent to this novel either. Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (weirdly translated in […]
I haven’t seen the others Agatha Christie’s adaptations made by the same production, but I hear that they were good. The same cannot unfortunately be said of this miniseries starring John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot. And before you start ranting, let me make something clear: I am no excessively traditionalist, I appreciate a good adaptation even […]
Bad day, today, aside from a very satisfactory lesson held for a client. So I’ll write about comics and tv: that usually helps. Just a little preface, before I tell you whether I liked this second season of Runaways or not: we really don’t know what the fuck is going on with Disney and the Marvel […]
As we step bravely into a new year, let’s try and see what’s good and what’s promising to keep us company on tv. Since summer, some things have changed in what I watch: I crawled through the latest seasons of: Daredevil (boy, that was a good Bullseye and I like what they did with the […]
I adored season 1 of this show and that was hard to beat. The whole concept of hosts trying to break free from their loop had a Greek tragedy flavour to it, with a sprink of Nietzsche when they kill their creator. Usage of time, loops within the loops, were amazing features and it was […]
After the whole Defenders storyline went down as it did (in boredom), I was both glad and skeptical to see the announcement of another Marvel-inspired tv series. Cloak and Dagger is one of the probably few comics I didn’t read back in the days (2008 or such) when Valerie D’Orazio brought them back after their […]
While waiting for American Gods (according to Neil Gaiman on twitter they’re filming it, so there’s hope), I’m really happy to be watching Westworld again. And even though I have to lament a little lack of Thandie Newton and I fear the whole “where’s my daughter” thing will go down in shit, the man in the black […]
One of the finest sci-fi series I’ve seen in a while starts off with a dissatisfying episode that might give you the temptation to give it up. Don’t. I know that the concept is ripped off a novel by Arthur Clarke and I know that you might feel like you’re trapped in a science fiction […]
I am not always a fan of Seth MacFarlane, meaning that I think the guy is super-smart and absolutely brilliant but I don’t always like that kind of humour. To give you a clue, I enjoyed A Million Ways to die in the West as long as they were not sticking flowers in Liam Neeson’s […]
