Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
Completely awful
I rarely review things but this deserves a warning. I was excited for this, as I'm a loyal viewer of the franchise and was interested to hear Chris Rock was attached. Well I was mistaken- the dialogue is cringe, everything is forced, over-acted, the kills are uninspired, the story is insane in the worst way possible, the jigsaw wannabe is awful, horrible puppets... I could go on and on. I honestly don't know what this even has to do with the Saw franchise at all, except the copycat notion in which it's all framed.
The only decent acting comes from Max Minghella, who's believable despite the horrendous dialogue. He does what he can with the material and delivers a solid performance amidst all the blunders.
American Horror Stories (2021)
Second Season Worth Your Time
I'm an avid Murphy/Falchuk fan, that likes most of their work and has watched all of the AHS seasons (some of those were also not of their previous caliber). The first season of Stories is boring, lacks substance and frankly, is a strange offering from a franchise that's given so much variety and talent. It received many bad reviews. I believe they have listened to what has been said.
Season 2 of Stories is interesting, creative, spooky and imaginative, with original ideas and great acting. Some fan favourites return and some history from AHS looks back at us (if you've watched the show you'll know what I'm talking about, I won't spoil the fun). It's creepy and entertaining.
I had already rated the previous season with a 5, which was quite generous and have now changed it to a 7.
Soulmates (2020)
Don't listen to the negative reviews
I found this show very entertaining. The premise is quite original, albeit a little far fetched sometimes (although maybe not that far away from where we're headed). It has quite the variety- love stories, drama, cheese, the scifi element, thriller, even borderline horror. Great acting, also the shaky camera work isn't that bad and makes sense for the storyline.
All in all I enjoyed it and think you should give it a chance! Excited for another season.
