House of the Dragon (2022– )

The succession war in the Targaryen house, 172 years before Daenerys came along.

"House of the Dragon" is a series based on another set of George RR Martin's books, which presents the history of the Targaryen house, at a time when dragons were still in considerable numbers. Full of intrigue, more or less moderate shock (GOT forever changed the bar), captivating characters, and yet the lack of typologies like those of the Starks is felt.

An action movie with some supernatural and horror elements. Fans of vampire movies, fans of Blade and well-made action movies will have a real visual feast. The suspense is well dosed and choreographed, the ending is not easy to predict and there is no moment of boredom.

Preacher (2016-2019)

Un pastor neobisnuit si cu un trecut patat isi da viata peste cap cand iubiri vechi revin in viata sa si ajunge sa porneasca un drum lung pentru a-L gasi pe Dumnezeu care se pare Si-A Parasit postul.

Plin de idei nebune si absurdism, Preacher va oferi multa distractie neintrerupta fanilor, fie ca acestia vor comedie, actiune sau situatii ridicole. Asteptand ca totul sa aiba un sens mai adanc, intreaga serie se va derula in fata ochilor fara un rezultat. Nimic nu e sfant, nimic nu e lasat fara ofensa, toate personajele sunt victimele slabiciunilor si defectelor, fie ele personaje negative sau pozitive. Colorat ca si comics-ul pe care e bazat, Preacher este placut vizual dar plin de orori de tip gore si violenta gratuita, ceea ce este ceva negativ doar pentru audienta ce a ales acest serial din greseala.
