The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Speechless
After having been irritated by its cover and the title first (especially the German translation), it took me a while until I gave this show a try. But now, finally - after having binge-watched the first season in one piece - I can hardly put into words how overwhelmed I am by this incredible series. It catched me from the very first minute till the end, as I found myself somewhere inbetween being terrified and fascinated at the same time, blown away by the metaphorical language, not to forget the outstanding cast and acting performances! And the whole plot makes you think. Thinking about current political changes in this world. Despots and egomaniacs are taking over. The story sounds like fiction, but actually it's nearer than you expect.
This series definitely goes straight into my top 3 lifetime favourites. Can't wait to watch the next 2 seasons.
Instant Hotel (2017)
Interesting concept, insufferable candidates.
I actually like the idea behind the show. But what the hell is wrong with those candidates? It seems the more corrupt you vote, the higher chances you get to win the show. Does this reflect our current society in terms of selfishness, arrogance and corruption, or is this just a little touch of hyped drama put on top of the series to make it even more exciting?
Anyway, after having seen this, I would never ever book most of those "Instant hotels". So I think they didn't do good advertisement for themselves in the end.
And the producers should definitely think about a new rating system that is more fair and makes more sense.
