Ancient Apocalypse (2022)
Too many effects
I've been following all Hancock's theories during all these years, and reading some of his books, which I find inspiring.
That said, this TV series has been tough and painful for me to watch.
I really miss the simplicity and even intimacy and spirituality of the first Graham Hancock's TV documentaries about a sunken ancient civilization.
Dramatic music and drums are constantly distorting the narrative and torturing the spectator.
There was no need for that, the content should be interesting enough with no need for so much spices in order to make it tasty.
It reminds me of Carl Sagan's Cosmos vs Neil deGrasse's.
The second doesn't reach by far the purity and simplicity of the first, and tries to compensate it by adding tones of glittering FX and Disney-film-like sound track.
Irmandade (2019)
A flat series
This series brings us to Brasilian penitentiary system & criminal gangs underworld. Until this point, it could be an interesting view, as it connects directly to great films such as Tropa de Elite, Cidade de Deus (where Seu Jorge has a remarkable acting). The problem is that the whole script is flat, forseable and lacks of basic sense of humor. Transform Seu Jorge in such a dull caracter should be considered a crime. The previously mentioned films or even Oz and El Marginal are way much more interesting.
Reacher (2022)
Foreseeable and flat
I enjoyed the first Jack Reacher movie with Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike and Werner Herzog. A sober, straight to the point but not that obvious action film. This TV series comes after, has more resources available and more time to go deeper on detail and secondary plots. It simply doesn't, it is really flat. Even flashbacks to Reacher's childhood are naive and boring. The main character is a dull hillbilly as interesting, expressive and complex as a brick. He's bigger than Cruise, though. So that's it. Really disappointing.
Dom (2021)
É muito ruim
Dramão, sem senso do humor, preconceituoso, sem ironia, e tentando copiar dos grandes (Cidade de Deus, Tropa de Elite).
Muito ruim. Pior não da.
4 Blocks (2017)
A bad batch
Take Gomorra as if it was 100% pure gold. Then cut it with 99% lead and bring it to Berlin. Then you get the worse mafia series ever. Terrible. Seriously. Really bad.
