The Addams Family (2019)

The Addams family moves to the suburbs where the closeness to ordinary and conformists people in the area creates a growing conflict.

'The Addams Family' is an animated film that brings the tragi-comic family back to the screen. The new format is surprisingly appropriate, the black humor makes an appearance as expected, the story is not just superficial and touches on current social issues related to genuine and assumed identity, and the soundtrack is wonderful.

Director:  Greg Tiernan, Conrad Vernon   

With: Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Bette Midler, Martin Short, Allison Janney, Aimee Garcia, Catherine O'Hara, Nick Kroll

Lucifer (2016– )

Lucifer se razvrateste impotriva numelui rau si paraseste Iadul in favoarea Los Angeles-ului, unde investigheaza crime.

Un serial plin de aventuri nonsalante. Cu o premisa simpla, Lucifer asculta cu adevarat ceea ce publicul fidel vrea. Ideea de investigatii criminalistice astfel a aparut, precum si prelungirea vietii serialului prin adoptarea de catre Netflix in 2019. 

Foloseste abil mitologia biblica si nu numai, dar fara a intra prea adanc in semnificatii prea complicate, foloseste clisee care functioneaza (bad boy, dragoste ispasitoare), actori carismatici si umor obraznic. In ciuda momentelor destul de dese in care eroul principal cam calca pe nervi, serialul e placut si usor de digerat. In plus, mutatul pe Netflix a oferit cateva ocazii fericite in care povestea si-a asumat niste riscuri interesante.
