Dune 2 🎥
A long time coming but a worthy second. Denis Villeneuve is in a class my himself and no one else is making movies like this these days. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very late to start watching this and just finished season one. Some great performances, but dang it’s dark. Season two is not really my thing, so I may skip it and see what three is like. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s been a while since I watched the previous seasons, but S4 really is the standout. Each episode is packed with content, almost none of the filler you usually find in Netflix shows(and in previous seasons). The cinematography is excellent, if a bit dark at times.
The story starts off slow by re-introducing us to each character, defining the threads of the story. Then by episode 3 starts rolling and doesn’t let up. The standout episode is “Chapter 4: Dear Billy”. It will be hard to top this one in the finale I think. Sadie Sink as Max does an amazing job and the choice of using Kate Bush’s “Running up that hill”...perfect.
My biggest issue with the season is the turn towards more horror, than before. They play on a few 80’s horror movies, and while doing that well, not really my thing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a weird show. Slow burn and dystopian. Stylistically, very Kubrick with some Clockwork Orange vibes. It is following the usual mold of shows like it, a “mystery box”, where the “big hidden thing” is kept from us. Once that is revealed, the show will likely loose some interest, but they have layered a few plot threads that add some depth. This is the type of show I think should do a season or two at most then end things. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
