Incarnate (2016)
Guilty Pleasure
For what it was, I thought this was an enjoyable film. The character work was fairly lazy with no real exceptions, and the storyline was a bit of rinse and repeat from many films that have come before it, but despite that, I can't deny that this film ended up being a bit of guilty pleasure for me. I think the conclusion of the film could have bed led up to a little bit better in terms of character progression, but I don't think it was TOO much of a stretch to believe. Overall, this was a film where I could just sit back and enjoy a good drama for two hours, and because of that, I don't think this movie was anywhere near the worst thing I've seen so far this year.
Helstrom (2020)
So much potential
For the majority of this show, I really enjoyed both the story and the characters. I was honestly invested in both Anna and Damien, and I really enjoyed seeing what happened next.
My problems withthis show begin as they introduce the organization about halfway through. I didn't think it was necessary, it wasn't interesting, and honestly, everyone involved just frustrated me to no end.
Those feelings got compounded in the last two episodes when Damien gets posessed and Gabriella and that group basically vow to get revenge. With everyone else the show was trying to say and do, I had absolutely no investment in this conflict, and I think this incessant need to keep coming back to it just soured the latter half of the show for me.
Despite that, however, I still really enjoyed a lot of the show up until that point, and I think the show could have easily course-corrected had they been given a season 2.
Mr. Robot (2015)
Captivating Storytelling
Mr. Robot is a captivating show that delves into the dark world of cyber-security and hacking, with complex characters, intelligent writing and engaging storylines that kept me on the edge of my seat. The show explores themes of mental illness, privacy, and consumeristic ideals, all while delivering an intense psychological thriller that has the perfect blend of suspense and drama. Elliot is an incredibly complex and flawed individual, and his journey through the dark underbelly of society is both thrilling and emotionally impactful. The writing, acting, and direction are all top-notch, making Mr. Robot an incredible show from start to finish. I'd say it's a must-watch for fans of the genre.
