Vtorzhenie (2020)
Good
Both parts of Attraction are fitting seamless into todays high tech
popcorn cinema. They are not better or bader than ,say ,most of
the marvel movies. The story is rather simple,the cgi is fantastic
and the pace is right for a enjoyable watch.
Roswell (1999)
A good show that couldve been much better.
This show starts out sweet and tenderly as a coming of age
teen drama with a SF undertone to keep things interesting
and succeeds in this up to mid season 1,than quickly falls
apart into teendrama 101 with melodramatic endless loops.
Still season 1,some season 2 episodes - mostly those with
a story arc spanning two or three episodes -,and very few
season 3 episodes are enjoyable to watch.
Surface (2005)
Good show
Like other good shows in the genre this show was killed prematurly. Its a well executed melange of sci-fi,thriller and drama that was stopped right then when the sci-fi part became a dominant factor and the viewers were left with a giant cliffhanger. It is a well written and acted show.
This Is Not My Life (2010)
Excellent Show
Another excellent Show sacrificed on the altar of quick buck is this one from New Zealand. While the core premise - one person finds himself in a surreal situation and uncovers the machinations behind it - is not new and was quite well presented in a couple older shows like the prisoner or nowhere man,this shows approach and storyline is as well thought out and written as the show invasion which tackled the stone old sf-theme of an attempted "alien" takeover. Which means the story is densely written,with interesting and believable characters and a down to earth sf-technology-approach that paints a very convincing picture of the near future. Like in invasion the writers avoid pointing fingers at an evil power behind the curtain that pulls all the strings. In fact it seems that individual ambitions in the management are tainting the middle class eden project here. Sadly we are literally left in the middle of nowhere with this show because it was not renewed for the second season and sold out to ABC - which is a known HQ-SF-Show killer btw.. "This is not my life" is easily the best SF that came out of New Zealand in decades. Kudos to all who were involved in making this show and shame on all who killed it.
