Altered Carbon (2018)
Clearly far too many religious and boring people tried to review this,
Otherwise they would have given it the 10/10 this series deserves. I will be buying the books.
This series is simply awesome in every way, can be very unpredictable at times which is something today's shows are lacking. Tak has a fighting advantage over the average sleeve in AC, but this isn't portrayed by any ability to defeat endless armies singularly, in fact, we often find him defeated, which adds some realism to the theme. This is something else today's shows cant capture, they would rather have their superhero win every battle regardless of the odds, which just gets boring.
AC is captured in the distant future, where of course sex is running even more rampart than it is today, it's not such a brave new world anymore, it's something else. Despite this I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of sex focus, sure there are a couple of scenes like any series, but AC keeps its focus on the story. The reviewers here calling this series out for sex are clearly religious or just plain boring, because it only happens twice and for reasons of developing the story, not like your average series today which has a lot more, and a lot more of the meaningless type.
To conclude, I binge watched the whole season in one night. I give AC a well deserved 10/10, AC blows shows like the expanse out of the waters, and I loved the expanse too. I have ordered the AC books, which is very rare for me, as someone who watches GoT and highly rates the series, it still wouldn't make me buy the books. AC is something else and anyone who rates it less than perfect is deluded, religious or boring.

The Giver (2014)
Truly moving, I cannot believe the reviews.
If you thought this movie was worth a single star less than 10/10 or are thinking skipping a watch I urge you, please reconsider.
I know this film is based on a book, which, I am most definitely going to read because the very idea of this dystopia is so real and poetic.
Forget everything you know, Imagine you just came into a world where society pushes you to be what it wants you to be, this is what has happened to you and almost every other single human being on this planet.
This film runs a beautiful paradox of what is happening with society today, not to mention the build up between black and white picture and incredible acting is really out of this world and captivates exactly what this movie is trying to show.
Today people are going colourblind, people are at war with each other, rape each other, cold blooded murder each other, make terrible music which ruins children's lives, really, you cannot deny that we are destroying every single part that made any of us the philanthropist human beings that most once were or should be.
What this film does, is, takes you to a place where this shift in the human consciousness has ended, rather abruptly, instead of getting to the root of our problems, society in this film has removed the very branches of the tree that allow us to fail.
The detrimental effect of this shift in consciousness becomes very obvious, taking away and controlling human emotion has led to a zombie like mass population we see today, which, is mirrored in this film.
I really cannot say anymore without spoiling the film other than watch it with an open mind and heart, think of every single living being on this planet before you watch this film. Think about whats happening to society today and how close we are to becoming the society that exists within The Giver, with, an end that could be so easy as, thinking outside the box.
If you are anything of a human being and watch this film with my instructions in mind I can %110 guarantee not only your satisfaction but your every heart string pulled in directions I believe another film will struggle to ever pull in again. One of very few films next to the fault in our stars that shed tears with me.
11/10
