Posted on December 31, 2018 by admin

‘Non uccidere‘ may be the first crime series coming from Italy that I have ever seen. It’s quite an unexpected source for the genre, Italian cinema being quite famous for neo-realism, for comedies, for historical dramas or for the very … Continue reading →

CHANGE.WORLD: Westworld – O oglindă a lumii noastre

Posted on December 6, 2016 by admin

Una dintre slăbiciunile mele mărturisite este vizionarea serialelor ştiinţifico-fantastice. Oferta este foarte bogată, oferta de calitate este mult mai puţin numeroasă, cam ca în orice gen artistic. Şi totuşi, odată la câţiva ani apare câte un serial care mă face … Continue reading →

Posted on May 5, 2013 by admin

The best series of the season come from an unusual source – Swedish Television, but I should not be that surprised. Scandinavian and specifically Swedish thrillers and political drama series have enjoyed great success in bookshops, on the big screens … Continue reading →
