The White Princess (2017)

The story of Elizabeth of York, the daughter of the White Queen, who married Henry VII.

'The White Princess' is the adaptation of Philipa Gregory's second book, after the success of the adaptation of the first: The White Queen. Interesting in its own right but also as a folow up of the events of the first one, especially for the fans. Well acted and full of intrigue, even though we are talking about the story of the parents of Henry the VIII, the most intriguing of them all.

Director:  Jamie Payne, Alex Kalymnios   

Production:  Starz   

Creator:  Emma Frost, Philipa Gregory (novel)   

Duration:  1 season of 8 episodes (1 hour each)   

With: Jodie Comer, Rebecca Benson, Jacob Collins-Levy, Richard Dillane

Rating: 8/10

Free Guy (2021)

A bank employee discovers that he is just an NPC in a video game.

'Free Guy' is a sci-fi action comedy. The idea is as ridiculous as it is interesting (only through the context enriched by the presence of Jodie Comer and Joe Kerry's characters), and Ryan Reynolds must be praised for portraying a non-alpha individual in favor of the female character.

Director:  Shawn Levy  

With: Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Channing Tatum

Rating: 8/10

Killing Eve (2018–2022)

Eve's life, a security agent at MI5, changes forever when she uncovers the activities of the assassin Villanelle.

'Killing Eve' is a thriller type series, with an investigative theme but also full of humor and cynicism. It has an original style, unusual for the genre, which goes perfectly in the atypical context of the life of a spy/assassin, at least on-screen. The similarity in style with Fleabag that comes to one's mind from time to time, especially due to the dialogue, is not accidental considering that the current series was created by the same mind, namely Phoebe Waller-Bridge's.

Director:  Damon Thomas and others   

Production:  BBC America  

Creator:  Phoebe Waller-Bridge   

Duration:  4 seasons of 8 episodes (42 minutes each)

With: Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Fiona Shaw, Kim Bodnia, Harriet Walter, Gemma Whelan

Rating: 9/10

The Last Duel (2021)

A long dispute between two knights, former friends, must be resolved by a duel, a fact decided by a royal edict.

'The Last Duel' is an unusual epic historical drama by Ridley Scott. In three parts, the film presents the story of the same dispute from the point of view of the three people involved, with all the subjectivism expected of each. A tragic subject, which is still relevant and as unsettling in current history, surprising as the subject chosen by a male director. The actors involved play their part with mastery, and the epic aspect is well put to work, as expected of any Ridley Scott film.

Director:  Ridley Scott   

With: Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer, Harriet Walter, Ben Affleck

Rating: 8/10
