(Mini Series) Below - A Pretty Decent Creature Series which was not the Nonstop Thrilling and Suspenseful Kind

Two days ago, this series was just released on Netflix. I actually thought it was a movie which could be easily finished, but turned out it was a series that took longer time, even if it was only 6 episodes. Anyway I immediately began watching and completed it yesterday. All right then, I'll get started with the series.

Brief Story Line

In the small town of Newfoundland, fisherman Calvin Penney (Josh Hartnett - Verity, Wrath of Man etc) who had been living there for the last forty years lately was having difficulty in finding fish. When he found a large iceberg which was rather unusual, Calvin asked biologist Dr. Fonda (Mackenzie Davis - Speak No Evil, Halt and Catch Fire TV series etc) to look into it. Meanwhile the local people had been asked to relocate to another location, which made Calvin and his older sister Ruth (Willow Kean) upset as they did not want to go through the whole process again. 

(Mini Series) Carrie - The Latest Reimagining of the First Stephen King's Novel with Awesome Performance of the Lead Cast

Yesterday after finishing a lot of things, I was ready to watch something new. While browsing Prime Video, I noticed this new mini series that I knew would be released this week but I was pleasantly surprised to see all episodes were already available. So I immediately began watching and managed to finish it this morning. Well I'll just get right to it then.

Brief Story Line

Carrie White (Summer H. Howell - Night of the Reaper, Time Cut etc) had been living in seclusion with her overly protective and religious mother Margaret (Samantha Sloyan - The Midnight Club TV series, The Life of Chuck etc) and was home schooled since childhood. But after something unexpected occurred, the County instructed Margaret to get job and Carrie to go to normal school. For the first time in her life, Carrie had to face the outside world dealing with everyone who viewed her differently, especially the mean girl Chris Hargensen (Alison Thornton - Dare Me TV series etc) with her group of Tina (Josie Totah - Saved by the Bell reboot series etc) and Sue Snell (Siena Agudong - Resident Evil TV series, Alex & Me etc). The Gym teacher Ms. Rita Desjardin (Amber Midthunder - Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series, The Ice Road etc) was the one who tried to protect Carrie, though it also put her in difficult spot in the eyes of principal Henry Grayle (Matthew Lilard - Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Scream movies etc).

(TV SERIES) Lanterns - A Much Grounded Series of Green Lantern with Emphasis on Two of Its Members and Their Personal Struggle

After weeks of reading the positive feedback on this series, I finally started watching two days ago and finished it last night. If you have read my previous posts, you would know that I only wanted to start watching when the finale is already or would be available and this one had its final episode released on Monday night. OK then, I'll just get on with it.

Brief Story Line

In the year 2016, Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern (Kyle Chandler - Back in Action, Godzilla II: King of the Monsters etc) had been training John Stewart (Aaron Pierre - Mufasa: The Lion King, The Underground Railroad mini series etc) as future Lantern, although Hal never properly teach John anything and mostly gave him instructions. When Hal found out about a mass shooting in small town of Rushville, he immediately rushed there convinced it involved extra terrestrial element. The Sheriff Kerry (Kelly Macdonald - Dept. Q TV series, Trainspotting etc) was adamant that Hal and John not to be involved, though it went on deaf ears.
