Watchmen
The Watchmen HBO tv series was based on the 2009 American neo-noir movie starring Dr Manhattan and the Watchmen. If you like blue god-like superhero and a bunch of kick-ass masked men then you’ll love Watchmen.
Amazing Stories
Based on the 1926 science-fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. Like its namesake, Amazing Stories features a series of amazing, mind-boggling, out of this world stories. If you like the 80s original run, you’ll love the 2020 reboot as well on Apple TV.
Doom Patrol
Superheroes are usually good-looking, strong and usually good moral compass but not Doom Patrol. These guys received their powers through tragic circumstances and are shunned by society. Most members of the team were treated by the Chief, a medical doctor who gave them residence in his mansion to help protect them from the outside world. Their name derives from an earlier Doom Patrol team that was formed by the Chief. Catch them on HBO.
Key and Peele
Key & Peele is an American sketch comedy television series created by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele that aired on Comedy Central. If you’ve been on social media, I’m sure you’ve encountered one Peele meme or another. These guys are hilarious. Key & Peele is now showing on Hulu.
Emily in Paris
Emily left her fiance to pursue a new position as a marketing executive in Paris. What adventure could possibly await her? Unsurprisingly, Emily broke up with her fiance and had a mad fling with a local Parisian. Plot twist: the hot monsieur already in a relationship with someone else. So typical but yet cute enough that I watched it till the end. Catch this stereotypical romance drama on Netflix.
Lovecraft Country
I would describe Lovecraft Country as a messed up witchcraft story with mythological creatures and monsters. Set in 1950s America, the protagonist set out across the country in search of his missing father. You cannot watch this HBO horror drama with your family.
A queen’s gambit
Chess genius/prodigy child escapes from her broken family in pursuit of chess glory. Will Beth Harmon achieve the ultimate price? One thing for sure this period drama miniseries set off a minor global interest in chess-playing for a while (not for me though). One of Anna Taylor Joy’s more bearable acting.
