KIRI - SEASON ONE
The genius of Thorne's writing is that he plays to his viewers' assumptions and then pulls the rug out from underneath them, exposing their own biases in the process.
SOLAR OPPOSITES - SEASON ONE
Each episode is packed with a wit that's thrives on orchestrating chaos and then bringing it all back home, and for the most part it's a hilarious!
TO THE LAKE - SEASON ONE
A hyper-active show, where a pandemic crisis serves as the framework for 2 families to take a road trip out of Moscow to a "house on a lake", and then experience a series of "unexpected, out-of-the-blue" events, from mobs attacking, a kid being left behind, weird encounters with other people in despair, road blocks, and so on. It is like an RPG game where things just keep happening one after the other, trying to keep the audience pumped with continous adrenaline...

STEPHEN - SEASON ONE
Stephen folds the known facts and the known characters into a riveting story without letting the naturally more dramatic element of Driscoll, as he hunts down new evidence and tightens the focus on the killers, overwhelm the infinitely harder work done by the unswerving, unflinching Lawrence parents.
THE CHALET - SEASON ONE
Succeeding both as a slow-burning horror story and as a tale of revenge, "The Chalet" is a mesmerizing and satisfying miniseries.
NINE PERFECT STRANGERS - SEASON ONE
Playing a cult-like figure running a secretive resort, the only thing wobblier than the Australian Oscar winner's Russian accent are the lifeless scripts.
SQUID GAME - SEASON ONE
Squid Game doesn't offer an escape from the horrors of the real world; within its limitations as a fictional drama, it gives us something far rarer: an affirmation that they exist, and that we're not alone in finding them nightmarish. I can't recommend Squid Game enough.
CLIQUE - SEASON ONE
Don't assume from these extracts that Clique is a slow, talky, discursive show. It's mostly a sly thriller with little time for in-depth debates about discourse. It smothers its political message in suspense.
OPEN YOUR EYES (Otwórz oczy) - SEASON ONE
Open Your Eyes is a series for individuals who don't like the "middle-ground", it is unique and imaginative with a sci-fi curve. I would recommend it whole-heartdly.
CLICKBAIT - SEASON ONE
Clickbait uses its unconventional storytelling technique and great cast of characters to take viewers on a familiar but thrilling journey. It keeps you intrigued by presenting each of its following seven episodes from a different perspective, all of whom could have a potential motive.
