If you also experience choice paralysis when you open streaming services in the evening and just look at the menu while your tea cools down, I have collected what is currently making critics on Rotten Tomatoes literally cry and which the entire Internet approves, informs Ukr.Media.
Let's start with “How to Get to Heaven from Belfast”. 94% on Tomatoes and a sure top of Netflix. The vibe is this: high school friends who have long been at odds with each other come together because of the death of one of them. And here begins the detective comedy. It's actually about how a common past forces adult women to raking up the shame of their youth. Everyone has missed normally written stories without plastic jokes so much that this series is now simply sinking into the soul.
Next up is total fantasy hypnosis. “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” A prequel to “Game of Thrones,” but set 100 years before Dany and her dragons. The story of the wandering knight Duncan and his squire Egg. 94% freshness! This is the highest-rated franchise project ever. Wait a minute, the original GP had 89%. That is, the creators from HBO somehow managed to outdo themselves and give us the perfect escapist pill. Fans are already breaking down every frame into memes.
If you want something large-scale, but with psychology – catch “Monarch: Legacy of the Monsters” (89%). The universe of Godzilla and King Kong, but there is one nuance. Everyone was waiting for a typical action movie with computer graphics, where giant lizards crush skyscrapers, and what they got was… a deep family drama. It's such a shock: you come to watch action, and as a result you analyze the family traumas of the characters. Very ambitious, and this is for those who are tired of classic one-day blockbusters.
For those who like to bite their nails from stress – “Night Agent”. This is the same Netflix hit, where an FBI agent accidentally gets involved in a conspiracy at the highest level. 82% for a powerful political thriller is very solid. The dynamics are such that you don't even have time to reply to a message in Telegram. Continuous adrenaline and paranoia.
Back to comedies. “The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins.” Plot: a superstar American football player who has lost his reputation and a director who has also fallen by the wayside in his career are trying to somehow get out of the bottom. This is such a strong male friendship, built on the absolute incompatibility of characters. A bunch of misunderstandings, sincere post-irony and attempts to survive in the conditions of reputational collapse.
And now pay attention, because here there was a glitch in the matrix. The reboot of “Clinic”. I always put a huge red flag on all these remakes and attempts to resurrect the legends of the zero. But here the producers somehow hacked the system. The old “Clinic” has 83%, the new one – 89%. This is a triumph that no one could have predicted. They really were able to enter the same river twice and not drown.
And for the finale — “Paradise” (88% on Tomatoes). An underground bunker in Colorado, three years after the nuclear attack, and here — bam — the US president is killed. A Secret Service agent tries to find a mole, but all the evidence is a complete deception, which confuses even more. A dystopia that keeps you in suspense until the last second. Claustrophobic, gloomy and very much in the style of our anxious time.
