I am pretty sure that I also saw season 4, but I apparently forgot to review it. In any case, season 5 was announced big, so hard to miss. Eight more episodes.

Even though season 4 came out 3 years ago, you come in flying. Things basically pick up where they left off. The teenage friend group is still after the evil spirit and not even just in the real world, but also in the “down under”.

There are some old and new elements, the same characters, some of whom grew up a bit. The atmosphere is again decent, but the surprise is of course off. Season 5 makes a big spectacle with too much drama for my liking (especially in the 2+ hour final episode), but it does seem that the story is now all wrapped up.

Perhaps not a masterpiece, but “Stranger Things” is certainly one of the better series of recent times.

I am not a big fan of the John Wick franchise and I am afraid that “Ballerina” is no exception.

Eve’s father is killed by a group of guns for hire. She is transferred to an organisation that teaches her both the arts of ballet and of killing. When she runs into a man who has the same scar as the man who killed her father, Eve sets out to find this shadowy organisation to get revenge.

So, your usual bloody fighting scenes, this time of a one woman army. Eve does run into John Wick as well.

A 13 in a dozen movie. The only positive thing about the film is the presence of Ian McShane and Gabriel Byrne.
