The Diplomat (2023-)

Passionate about international crises, Kate Wyler is forced into a decorative role, which she assumes and transforms into what she needs.

'The Diplomat' is a political series, dramatic, a bit soap-opera-ish, a bit of contrary styles, combined with the most positive effect possible. Full of lively and rich dialogue, lovers of sarcasm and incredible situations will have a field day. Keri Russell is excellent in the lead role and Rufus Sewell (the husband) and David Gyasi (the British foreign minister) are not far behind.

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

Batalia dintre Jedi si Sith ajunge la final, cu revenirea unor dusmani vechi si descoperirea puterii abilitatilor ultimului Jedi - Rey.

Ultimul film din serie. In sfarsit, finalul. Un pic mai plin de continut fata de predecesorul si cu un pic mai mult suflet, Episodul IX a impresionat audienta ceva mai mult. Ca si in cazul episodului antecedent, raportul Rey-Kylo Ren si influenta lor reciproca este lipiciul si inima povestii, restul e umplutura.
