The Swarm (2023)
Someone didn't read the book
I dont know what is more disappointing. The cast or the script. All the characters, the ones from the Novell and the new added ones, are introduced so slow and wodden. Especially the hero's! Leon A. Feels nothing like in the books. And the worst is Johansson. Completely over acting but giving nothing likeable. First episode includes way too many characters, which they don't explain. You don't know whom too follow. Ok it's TV - but the VFX is so poor. That's far away from the standard. But all this aside, the producers show that they didn't get the story and the fascinating telling from the Novell. It's about a global massive catastrophe!! The series feels like a small fisher town gets in trouble. The Novell is superb structured, and the series is not. Is not that they don't have budget. But I guess they spend it in expensive restaurants discussing what they have to change from the Novell. I am so disappointed!
The Last of Us (2023)
Brilliant
The first two episodes were just brilliant so far. HBO is a guarantee for good developed Series. They made a lot of fantastic decisions. They really stay with the game which is a great base. But the get you (as a person who knows) just a little bit on different paths. They do it not often and I like it. You get the feeling(after two episodes) that you are in very good hands. They give you what you want and give you a little bit more. This is how RE or MOTU should have been. Bella Ramsey is really really good. I liked her from Minute one. Pascal is one of the biggest performer of the last decade. He is just simple umbelievable. You can see all the pain and all the suffering, and he is not a nice guy. But this is the reason he is still alive. The Clicker scene is just awesome. All the SFX and VFX is on high Level. The production design is superb. There could be more E Shots of the Environment but I know this is the most expensive part. Can't wait to see where the whole ting is going. But right now it's just the best.
Willow (2022)
Disappointed
The first two episodes were Ok. But since then I don't know what the writers believed they create. Where does the story go? Ok they switched the ground story of the kidnapped princess which is rescued by the knight. But the knight here are two girls/ not even women which look like they never seen a sword in their life. The whole journey is so Nonsens. What a crappy crew. I didn't believe a thing. And the worst of them all is that the main Charakter Willow is just a grumpy/simple Charakter, who over the years completely changed? He is definitely not the main character! And that also a great problem of the show. The cast is lame. For the Defense, the script gave them no chance to glance. All the Charakters were flat and boring. The Humor is so badly placed and not funny! I'm really shocked. Two Stars because of Warwick Davies. And what the hell did they try with the modern music?
