TV Series Review: ANNIKA

One of my favorite actresses, Nicola Walker, stars as DI Annika Strandhed in this 6-episode series on PBS, and wow, she doesn't disappoint! 

She was in two of my fave series, Unforgotten and River. (If you haven't watched those yet, put them on your list!) 

It took me a minute to get used to the format in ANNIKA, where Walker breaks the fourth wall and talks directly to viewers. But it soon became the best part of every episode. 

I think this series will appeal to readers and writers, since Walker's character defines each episode based on her literary preferences. The first episode centers on Viking sagas, another on a Shakespearian play. 

If you decide to watch this, make sure you see all six episodes. You don't want to miss a minute of this treasure!

Movie Review: In The Shadow Of The Moon

 

I just finished watching IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON on Netflix and, whoa, was it good! If you can handle gore (not my fave story element) and push past the beginning, which is a bit confusing, you might just stumble on one of your favorite SciFi/Horror flicks. 

Time travel, end of the world scenario, secret identities, mystery, and a redemptive ending, oh my gosh, I'd give this one 10 stars. 

It has echoes of The Tomorrow War, but this released in 2019, two years before TTW. 

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON stars Michael C Hall, but don't let the fact that he's a minor character stop you from checking this one out! Every actor pulls their weight in this one.
