Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Michael Mann likes that look for some reason. It worked for Collateral, but Public Enemies is truly one of the worst looking big budget films I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as romantic as you think! In a way, it's true sci-fi. 6 episodes/ 6 different stories. 6.6/10 Sounds like that Netflix French show, Osmosis. Oh, turns out Netflix just put out another spin on the same premise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yeah, I noticed that too. The One seems to be based on the same idea but it's probably a completely different show as Soulmates comprises 6 completely different stories with each time a new cast. I shall check The One out.

A24 4,331 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The One, Episode 1 Now that I've checked it out, I've have a feeling I should've given Soulmates a higher score. Unlike Soulmates, The One is barely interested in what the effects of the available science have on the human psyche. It's a much more conventional TV series about power and intrigue. The writing is inferior too. Soulmates, despite every episode being completely different, always knows how to hook the viewer during the first very first scene. The One can't even do that during the entire length of the pilot. I won't continue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wrote " every actor had a dumb look on their face, like they would rather be in a mall shopping for bell bottoms than being on a sound stage..." Canadian television sucked then, sucks now.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The wife and I started watching Resident Alien on syfy. I’m really liking this series. It’s mostly a comedy, but looks like it will develop into something fairly seriocomic. (I’m only 2 1/2 episodes in.) Alan Tudyk is well cast as a character (in this case, an alien that can morph into human shape) that is equal (and amusing) parts self-important and clueless/thin-skinned covert agent sent to destroy all humans. The other main characters (actors’ names escape me) are pretty good too, especially the sheriff and mayor of the small, made-up Colorado town where the show is set.

Murphy, Hardy, McCrory, Neill, and support, are uniformly excellent. I enjoy watching it, but I'm not as involved as I think I should be (if that makes any sense). I can't go the extra mile, and get completely drawn in. Still, I've seen all five series, and I am looking forward to the sixth, and the follow-on film. Bottom line: it fascinates, rather than entertains, me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
