hugo blickOne of the most idiosyncratic auteurs in modern British television is behind this outstanding revisionist western. We follow the intertwined path of two characters in search of revenge. On one side, an English woman, Lady Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt), came to Kansas in 1890 to take revenge on the man he believed had caused his son’s death. On the other hand, the quiet but eloquent Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), a native Pawnee who served as a scout for the U.S. cavalry and decided to claim several acres of land for his services. Viewers of Blick’s ‘Woman with Honor’ will not be surprised by the convoluted plot, but a certain bewilderment is balanced by the wealth of characters, central or otherwise, and his revealing vision of the West in all its genocidal reality. .

After setting up a chair with the ‘Americans’, Joel Fields Y joe weisberg This year they surprised me with this four-handed psychological ‘thriller’ which is basically a verbal duel between two of the most opposite characters in the world. Jewish therapist Alan Strauss (Steve Carell), the restrained and warm voice of mind, especially a volatile patient, Sam Fortner (Domhnall Gleeson), who kidnapped her to try to free herself from her homicidal impulses. In order to heal him and not provoke him, Alan has to consciously use all the strategies that will happen in the past and in the future.

Screenwriter From the creators of ‘Dark’ Rimje Fries and manager Baran Bo Odar, this year a new and wonderful voyage has arrived, this time on a steamship: the dark Kerberos, whose European passengers seek a new life in New York in the throes of the 19th century and finally disappear somewhere in time and space. In an interview with this newspaper, Baran bo Odar quoted influences like “Alien: The Eighth Passenger” or “The Shining” where “we find a closed situation where people can’t get out and make them lose their minds”. How much of all this is actually happening? How much is a dream? Where are we really and why? Questions in a strange, gothic and elusive world. available on Netflix.
What did it take to revive the promise of ‘Star Wars’? Find a creator with a real personality and let it work. Writer and director (not here) Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton”, The Bourne Saga) took control of this prequel to “Rogue One” and did his bit: a realistic adult spy thriller with a moral take on violence. Where others go for the obvious special effects, Gilroy prefers to subtly integrate digital elements into the series’ realistic aesthetics; this remarkable young production designer has a lot to say about it.

After discovering the classic stories of Shirley Jackson and horror filmmaker Henry James Mike Flanagan In his latest (almost certain) series for Netflix, he approached the lesser-known writer (especially) for teenagers. Christopher Pike. Adapted from the novel of the same name and paying homage to all of his work, ‘Midnight Club’ is about a group of terminally ill young people who come together at midnight to tell each other their own horror stories. When Ilonka (Iman Benson) officially joins the gang, being informed of an old agreement: the deceased member of the group must do everything possible to send signals from the afterlife. It sounds sad and ominous, and it is, but it can also be a downright funny and clever reference. available on Netflix.
After starring in James Gray’s ‘The Lost City of Z’, charlie hunnam returned to a thrilling existential adventure, or as he describes it to us, “an epic adventure about romance and friendship, betrayal, the meaning of life, what is God… An incredible and far-reaching theme.” However, these descriptions do not point to the key ‘dough’ ingredient in the adventure of Lin Ford (Hunnam), an Australian prisoner who lands in Bombay in search of a new version of himself and finds … new problems. The first season covers only a third of the story and unfortunately there will be no more, but this episode is worth living to the tragic last minute. Available on Apple TV+.
