Amsterdam Empire is… fine, if you have no expectations and are just here to see unnecessary twists and turns. I guess I was engaged at some points, but beyond that, the story is far too obvious and cliched to invoke any real thrills.

Cast: Famke Janssen, Jacob Derwig, Elise Schaap, Jade Olieberg, Yannick van de Velde, Jesse Mensah, Bart Slegers, Romana Vrede, Victor Löw, Raymond Thiry

Directors: Jonas Govaerts, Max Porcelijn

Platform: Netflix

Amsterdam Empire Review: It seems to not even be trying to be anything more than cliched and mediocre.

Rulers of Fortune is an enjoyable watch if you like twisted, melodramatic shows. Although it’s nothing quite innovative, I guess it’s fine for a one-time watch, but that’s about it.

Cast: André Lamoglia, Chico Diaz, Giullia Buscaccio, Juliana Paes, Mel Maia, Xamã, Adriano Garib, Bruno Mazzeo, Dandara Mariana, Igor Fernandez, Pedro Lamin, Ruan Aguiar, Stepan Nercessian, Tuca Andrada

Directors: Heitor Dhalia, Rafael Miranda Fejes, Matias Mariani

Original Title: Os Donos do Jogo

Rulers of Fortune Review: This is like every other melodramatic crime show that is entertaining if you don't think too deep.

Down Cemetery Road is fine and I found myself arrested in bursts. But there are some slow moments that take away from the tension of the series, and the mystery might be obvious to most. However, when it gets the tension right, it does so too well, and that’s what’s memorable about it.

Cast: Emma Thompson, Ruth Wilson, Adeel Akhtar, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Tom Goodman-Hill, Darren Boyd, Tom Riley, Adam Godley, Sinead Matthews, Ken Nwosu, Fehinti Balogun, Aiysha Hart

Down Cemetery Road Review: This is fine and although a bit slow at times, gets to you more often than not.

Physical: Asia‘s first four episodes may feel a bit repetitive for fans of the show because we have seen these sets and challenges a few too many times now. However, the spirit of winning is still as interesting as it once was and will leave viewers on edge. Hopefully, we get to see a bit more variety when it comes to the matches in the upcoming episodes.

The Elixir isn’t particularly memorable, although the kills are brutal. It will leave you somewhat engaged, but overall, there’s nothing new or interesting about it. There are a ton of great zombie horror flicks out there that will leave you flinching. This one’s just not it.

Cast: Eva Celia, Mikha Tambayong, Donny Damara, Dimas Anggara, Marthino Lio, Kiki Narendra, Varen Arianda Calief

Director: Kimo Stamboel

Original Title

The thrills, chills and horrors are quite generic in Prime Video’s Host, but it’s the story underneath that keeps us hooked. Plus, the fantastic production quality helps. I think sometimes generic horror stories can be comforting to watch, weirdly, if done right, and that’s what Host feels like.

Cast: Thitiya Jirapornsilp, Veerinsara Tungkitsuvanich, Pisitpol Ekaphongpisit, Narinthorn Na Bangchang, Weeraya Zhang, Nutkitta Poonsukwattana, Sanutcha Janchoom

Director: Pokpong Pairach Khumwan

The Monster of Florence is a thrilling, complex and depressing watch that will leave you a bit dazed. The storytelling is fine, but the non-linear format can be annoying at times. In the end, the series makes you think about a variety of social issues that are prevalent today and leaves you with an intense feeling of heartbreak over the senselessness of the crimes.

Cast: Marco Bullitta, Valentino Mannias, Francesca Olia, Liliana Bottone, Giacomo Fadda, Antonio Tintis, Giordano Mannu

Creators: Leonardo Fasoli, Stefano Sollima

Original Title: Il mostro

Harlan Coben’s Lazarus is lacking in the storytelling and tension department and leaves you confused about the whys and hows more often than not. Its biggest problem is that it’s not entertaining at all, and a lot of scenes feel irrelevant and boring.

Cast: Sam Claflin, Bill Nighy, Alexandra Roach, David Fynn, Karla Crome, Kate Ashfield, Edward Hogg, Jack Deam, Amanda Root, Lex Shrapnel, Roisin Gallagher

Directors: Wayne Che Yip, Nicole Volavka, Daniel O’Hara

Romantics Anonymous is a light-hearted, slow-paced and warm series that reminds us to be kind to ourselves and others. With great performances and some beautifully scrumptious-looking chocolates, the series will leave you charmed and smiling till the end.

Our Fault is nothing new and adds nothing to an already terrible series. It’s lazy and uninspired and leaves you feeling confused about timelines. Viewers will be able to see right through the convenient plot devices meant to keep us interested because, if you look beyond the surface, the film has nothing better to do than trying to get a reaction out of us without making any effort to tell an effective and cohesive story.

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a fine entertainer, although there’s nothing new to the series that makes it stand out. As a new watcher, that might be a problem because it doesn’t bring in new eyes, or maybe it’s happy with the attention that it already gets. Either way, this one’s a good one-time watch.

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Review: This is fine, but it's not memorable in any way.
