The Umbrella Academy (2019–2023)

A family of superpowered individuals reunite after the death of their father.

"The Umbrella Academy" is a fantasy, adventure, action series, mixed with some comedy and quirkiness. The graphic novel origins are felt at every step, and the charm of the whole is based on the character building and their interaction. With a much more interesting first season, when the mystery and the unknown can be used as a promising asset, the rest of the seasons remain intriguing enough to continue watching.

The Prodigy (2019)

Schimbarile ingrijoratoare de comportament ale fiului sau, o fac pe o mama sa caute solutii in departamente neobisnuite.

Un film horror/thriller ce adesea aminteste de elemente ale Child's Play cel original. Are cateva idei originale si merge pentru o vizionare neinvestita, dar ceva ii lipseste pentru a deveni ceva mai mult decat clisee si repetitii.

Regia:  Nicholas McCarthy    
Cu: Taylor Schilling, Jackson Robert Scott, Peter Mooney, Colm Feore

Rating: 6/10
