I watched that one too. I give the first season 6.5/10. 1.5 because of the cliffhanger in the last scene alone.
Otherwise it was a series where I was always waiting for the wow effect - but it never came.
But it wasn't necessarily bad either, it was so interesting from episode to episode that I always wanted to know what would happen next.

What bothered me the most was the lack of emotion. Hello, the apocalypse is imminent, snow in summer is killing everyone outside,
we take a nap and make a cup of tea because the gas stove is still working. And nobody really goes crazy.
No, somehow it didn't fit.
The plot twist with the "soldiers" was great again - it entertained me.

When a second season comes (it's been announced) they should work on the emotion. The basics for a proper second season are there.



I'm starting "Bet" on Netflix today. It's the live-action adaptation of Kakegurui - the anime that's all about gambling.
A school that doesn't teach math, English or German, but gambling.

Instead of coming from Japan, the live-action adaptation is now coming from the USA. But the trailer triggered me and gave me the right Kakegurui vibes.

I'm curious.

The ending already had a wow effect for me. I also thought that some people went crazy who were normal before and then became increasingly strange. I agree with you about the somewhat sluggish build-up of tension in the first episode. Everything is crashing outside and the men are playing cards, wondering about the capricious weather and the women are brewing tea. But I found plenty of emotion. I like it when the tension builds up so slowly and you have time to get to know the protagonists better. I'm definitely looking forward to season 2. There's certainly room for improvement.

The first threat is deadly snow that falls in the middle of summer and kills anyone who comes in contact with it. After a few episodes, another very creepy threat is revealed. It gradually increases in tension. Had to watch it in one go.

I'm now on "The last of us", season 2, which seems to be just as good as the first. Very exciting and you just want to stay with it. I see it on "Wow". It's only available as a buy title on Amazon so far.

"Eternauta" pleasantly surprised me and I binge-watched the first season immediately. But I would say there's still room for improvement. I would rate the first season 7/10. Season 2 has been announced and I'm looking forward to it.


i absolutely loved season 1 of "The Last of Us", but I'm having a hard time getting into the second season. No idea why. I'll give it another go this weekend.

I like Suits L.A., not as good as the main character of the original series but also quite good the actor and the one from suits comes later too
I like lawyer series like that, the best was ally mcbeal anyway.
I'm looking forward to the new episodes of malcom in the middle
It'll only be a few episodes, but reliving the characters will be nice and especially bright 😂😁

Hey Zocki, I'm glad you enjoyed "Eternauta". As for "The Last of us", the first episode is really lame, but in the second I was as flashed as in Game of Thrones when the white walkers attacked. I was literally speechless at what happened. So my Tip: make sure you watch the second episode

Yes, I really enjoyed it. Didn't think it would grab me like that. Yes? Is the second episode better? I found the first one so boring. That's when I stopped watching it.


Because you just mentioned Games of Thrones, I've now watched the whole series again. It was awesome again...except for the last weird season

I have to agree with you about the second episode of the season. The first was really lame but the second was really exciting.

What I was also eagerly awaiting was the last season of Handmaids Tale. Unfortunately, there won't be another season.
