Todd McFarlane’s Spwan (1997) is an excellent show with plenty of heart and hurt. The writing is stellar, the visuals are terrifying , the voice acting is Shakespearean quality, and the score is hauntingly perfect. There are two caveats to this series, the first is that its technically unfinished as it was cancelled during its third season, and the second is that it has high levels of violence and nudity. Not meant for the faint of heart, and certainly not for anyone looking for a story with a happy ending. A hard watch and a must see for fans of the darker side of comic book mediums.

The film Abigail is a mediocre offering with very few redeeming qualities. The best it has to offer is the overly repeated trope of the slasher villain being the hero of the story. Not great, but not terrible either. The music was subpar at best, and the acting was except for a few notable exceptions lackluster. Not a must see, Vampire fans give this a pass.

The Chernobyl mini-series (2019) is a shockingly powerful and deeply disturbing real look at the actual truth of the disaster. Everything about it was both well-crafted and respectful to the real people who were involved. The sound design was stunning, as were the visuals and the sheer haunting awe of it all. A must see for fans of history, biopics, audiovisual terror, and for those select few that have a strong stomach. I highly recommend it, but with a caveat that you only watch it if you are certain that its right for you.

My co-worker’s wife is from Russia and lived there when the disaster happened. She said that out of all the Chernobyl-related things she has watched, the 2019 miniseries is by far the closest to the actual events that happened and the atmosphere of the country and people that lived there at the time.

That’s really cool
