Impulse (2018)
Oh. I get it now.
This is a great show about a benevolent organization trying to harness a power that could help save the world by studying an evil teenager that seems determined to destroy everyone that loves her because... well... her life sucks more than theirs. At least that seems to be what the show-runners are going for.
Mortal Engines (2018)
Mortal Exposition
Leave it to Peter Jackson, a man who makes three movies from a one-movie book, to turn a three-movie book into one movie.
There is so much to explore in this world, and potential for interesting sub-plots that could be serviced with more time. Instead, every character is burdened with explaining the universe they live in, rather than living in that universe, to the point that the film becomes a Readers Digest condenced version of a much better series on a streaming service.
Killing Eve (2018)
Lazy Storytelling
This is an example of the lazy writing that seems to flourish in the oversaturated thriller genre these days. In the mold of the crime procedurals of the nineties, the writers and producers stick with a simple formula - if you can't be clever enough to make the antagonist meticulous and brilliant, simply make the protagonist sloppy and inept by comparison. A story with rich potential that is wasted in the hands of amateurs moving the goalposts to simulate edginess.
