As you noticed, I was away for some time, went to Denmark because of work… But, when I came back, I really made up for the lost time watching some TV; done some other stuff, but I’ll save that for future posts…
Finished watching the first season of Game of Thrones… Now this is a good series… Heart-wrenching, loads of suspense, a political story that didn’t become boring at any time, brilliant direction and photography… Really great, and something I recommend to everybody… I’ve read the first book 15 years ago or so, and I wasn’t as captivated by it as by the series… Probably will pick them up, after this ends (hopefully in 20 seasons!); can’t wait until next year for season 2! 10/10
The new series produced by Spielberg, I wasn’t expecting much (especially after “War of the Worlds”)… While most of the flaws of “War of the Worlds” are still present (the overbearing concern about “character development”, the 90’s like homage, the passable special effects), it wasn’t as bad as I expected… I actually like the pos-invasion scenario depicted, it’ feels “real”, which is interesting… now let’s see how this develops… For now, I’m curious enough to keep watching… 7/10
