Fare i conti con l’America di Trump
di Sergio Fabbrini
Something very badi is going to happen (Netflix), the new series from the Duffer Brothers (those of Stranger Things) is a horror revelation, the kind that grabs you and takes you away. I haven't seen the last episode yet but I'm content with that, even without the ending, which is usually always controversial with the Brothers. Daredevil: Born Again and Scrubs (both Dinsey Plus) are two early series that both show real promise. As for April there's the finale of The Boys and that alone would be enough if it weren't for the fact that after 4 years Euphoria returns, perhaps one of the rawest and heaviest series on adolescence I've ever seen. Also for this good viewing.
The epilogue will see the final confrontation between a Patriot now in power and a Billy Butcher consumed by the anti-Supe virus. Among the most eagerly awaited novelties is the addition of Jared Padalecki to the cast and the return of Soldier Boy. Eight episodes loaded with ultra-violence and political satire to close the series that rewrote the superhero myth. The grand finale is scheduled for 20 May. (Prime Video)
If the first chapter was a splinter race through the streets of L.A., here Lee Sung Jin ups the ante by shifting the conflict to the gilded world of country clubs. Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan are the new titans ready to destroy each other over a trivial quarrel, while young Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny get caught in the middle. It is a ruthless butterfly effect: from private rage to global chaos. Get ready for a scathing satire on power, where ego becomes a weapon of mass destruction. (Netflix)
From's nightmare returns with a fourth season that promises to peel back the veil on the mysteries of Prison Town. Harold Perrineau still leads the cast in a race against time, as his Boyd falters under the weight of unbearable truths. Who is the Man in Yellow? Get ready, because the way home has never been darker. (Paramount+)
After a four-year wait, Euphoria returns and the leap is dizzying. Sam Levinson takes us beyond adolescence, using 65mm to give cinematic scope to a world that is now adult, complex and compromised. It is no longer just glitter and high school drama: it is a brutal visual and psychological investigation into evil. Eight episodes to understand if there is life after chaos, between dazzling beauty and a reality that does not give discounts. (Sky and Now.tv)
