Stranger Things (2016)
Netflix amazement
What a stunning show. It manages to capture the 1980s nostalgia that has been missing from my world. It's sci-fi with a touch of horror. You need an empty bladder and a sofa to hide behind when it gets too scary!
The sets are amazing and believable with a sinister undertone. The actors are very well cast and it's enjoyable to watch them and the characters grow.
Enjoyed season one more than season two. Have to wait to see if season three takes it too far. Only time will tell.
The Martian (2015)
Amazing
From the opening scene I was hooked. People need to remember this is science fiction! Some other reviews are a bit harsh. Matt Damon is absolutely amazing. Well worth a watch.
Zoo (2015)
Lost it half way through season 2
It's a fictional end of the world story which has real promise. Yes in parts unbelivable but that's the point of fiction. Actors are well cast but by half way through season two it just got silly for me.
I watched until the end of season 3 but in my opinion there was no need for hybrids. The animals being crazy was enough and this should have always been the driving force of the story. Also the main characters changing their minds and swapping sides got stupid too.
However I do think it's worth a watch, even if it's just first season you watch.
