The Alienist



The show is good but my previous comment on the "Dark Materials" remains in force. Auteurs follow an absurd fashion which came with the GoT of the extremely dark palette that for minutes there is nothing to see on the screen other than a few reflections from random objects. Daniel Bruhl is a right typecasting but his acting is so overwhelmed by Evans, Fanning and even novice Rosy McEwen that otherwise well measured tempo and visuals miss the point. 

His dark materials.



Literally "His Dark Materials". The authors enthused by the GoT so much abused the flashback narrative and the dark palette that the story became incomprehensible for all but the most avid fans of Philip Pullman. 

Covid-19 Epidemic.

Movie theaters are closed. Have to review HBO and other TV shows.
