Tark: Doctor Sleep - Apple TV + 2019 Horror/Thriller (2h 32m)
Stephen Kings sequel to The Shining sees young Danny Torrence all grown up 30 years after leaving the Overlook Hotel. The Shining didn’t need a sequel but this movie is interesting enough to justify it. It’s good vs evil with just enough references to the original movie to please the nostalgic types. It’s slow but be patient because it pays off! 4/5 Stars

Aubz: Tales From The Loop - Amazon TV + 2020 Drama/Sci-Fi
(1 season)
TV Series set in a small town where the residents live above an experimental machine called The Loop, which makes the impossible possible. Fans of Black Mirror and (German Netflix series) Dark will like this. It's beautifully shot with thoughtful story telling, but the slow pace in some of the episodes let's it down.
