Netflix Original Review: Death Note (2017)

Plot: A high school student is given the power to kill anyone and in a manner he so chooses. All he needs to do is write the name of the person in the Death Note and how the person dies. Could have been boring except, Light, the protagonist, is more imaginative than most. He uses the power to create a God by watching global news and punishing evil doers around the world. This is where things start to get interesting. Then, a detective from Japan with Sherlock-like abilities, starts to piece things together.  This is like Lex Luthor taking on Superman but better. You'll find yourself confused who you should be rooting for. 

Strength: The characters, pacing and twists and superb.

Recommendation: Must-watch even for those who are not familiar with the anime or manga version like me.

Netflix Review: Bird Box (2018)

Plot: If you see it, you die. It's like three days of darkness, except it's not just three days and it's only dark because you have to keep  your eyes closed or covered when you go out of the house. 

Strength: The concept is unique. It's a great ride. The rules are  so simple and requires little imagination you can easily put yourself in the shoes of the heroes. The genius is  in its simplicity.  There's also enough surprises to keep things exciting.

Recommendation: It's worth watching. It's a great ride but that's about it really. There's nothing much to talk about after. It won't tug your heart and it's not going to make you think. It's a thriller which sets you to expect it to be more but it really isn't. So watch it and enjoy the ride and don't expect anything more.
