Notre-Dame (2022)
Worth-it
A notable series, following the events of Notre Dame, how the lives of several Parisians - Firefighters, Journalists, Citizens was involved in it. Also a progressive dive into each characters lives and the emotions attached with this historical monument simmers across each episode. Though created as a mini-series, each episode is about 45-50 minutes long which gives the director enough time to develop the story and piece it together along the way, with tiny glimpses into past moments. Dealing with loss, self identity, finding love amidst all this choas, are a few moments highlighted on this spectrum.
The New Mutants (2020)
Brilliant development
The story revovles around new-mutants who either don't fully understand their powers or have trauma which renders them unable to utilize and control it. It's a refreshing perspective into the methods of Essex Corporation (which we last witnessed in Logan) of how the process of creating mutant soldiers actually works. The characters go through their own challenges, face their own demons which keep haunting them and learn to rise above. Amazing visuals, feels like Stranger things meets Defence of the ancients. While it doesn't not have a lot of strong moments, it creates a lot of space and lays the foundation of a link in the mutant story line. Definitely a must, for all mutant enthusiasts out there, but a usual weekend watch for the rest of the crowd.
