(MINI SERIES) Prisoner Season 1 - Fast Paced & Action Packed 6 Part Action Thriller Series

I watched the trailer to this series on HBO Max few weeks ago and thought it looked really good. But I did not realize it was released on 30th April and only got the chance to watch it 2 days later. Anyway, why don't I just get right to the series now.

Brief Story Line

After taking maternity leave, Amber Todd (Izuka Hoyle - The Outpost TV series, Persuasion etc) left her baby daughter with her husband Olly (Finn Bennet - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms TV series, Warfare etc) to return work as prison transport guard. On her first day, she was tasked with additional job of transporting high level prisoner named Tibor Stone (Tahar Rahim - Madame Web, The Looming Tower mini series etc) who was key witness in the trial of Harrison Dempsey (Brian F. O'Byrne - Conclave, Nightflyers TV series etc), leader of Organized Crime Pegasus. Unfortunately Harrison's son Declan (Laurie Davidson - Cats, The Road Trip TV series etc) assigned Pegasus trusted assassin Nina (Leonie Benesch - The Teachers' Lounge, Around the World in 80 Days TV series etc) to kill Tibor using any means necessary. 

(TV SERIES) Man on Fire Season 1 - A Less Action Packed Second Adaptation of the Popular 1980 Novel

Few weeks ago I already noticed this series promoted in Netflix under its Coming Soon section which was something that intrigued me. When it was finally released two days ago, I began watching and finished it last night. All right then, let's get right to it.

Brief Story Line

John Creasy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II - Wonder Man TV series, Aquaman etc) was a former Special Forces who was suffering from PTSD for few years. His old friend from military Paul Rayburn (Bobby Cannavale - Scarpetta TV series, Blonde etc) tried to make John better by employing him in a military work in Rio de Janeiro, doing protection from terrorist attack. Despite his reluctance, John decided to go ahead and met with Paul's family, including his teenage daughter Poe (Billie Boullet - A Small Light mini series etc).

The Devil Wears Prada 2 - Still Enjoyable Sequel but the Original Left Better Impression

I found out about this movie few weeks ago which surprised me as it was a sequel to the film released many years ago (twenty to be exact). Anyway it was something that I was interested and after two days playing in Indonesian cinemas, my wife and I decided to see it noon today. OK then, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Twenty years after the events of the first movie, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway - The Witches 2020 version, The Hustle etc) was already a successful journalist while the now online Runway magazine was still managed by Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep - Hoppers, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again etc) with her right hand man Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci - Beauty & The Beast live action movie, Citadel TV series etc). 

After an unexpected turn of events, Andy was hired to work as editor of Runway and reunited with Miranda while having to deal with her demands. She later met with Emily (Emily Blunt - The Fall Guy, The Girl on the Train etc) who no longer work for Miranda. Things were very challenging for Andy as she found that handling online fashion magazine was different from conventional news media. Things became more complicated with the sudden change in leadership that would jeopardize Runway's livelihood.
