Thursday's Widows 2023 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 THE WIDOWS OF THURSDAY on Netflix is a new miniseries with only six episodes. A mystery thriller from Mexico (org. title: The Widows of Thursdays). It's a very character-driven story and also a remake of the 2009 film of the same title. Both are based on a novel. Read our full review of Thursday's Widows series here!


WIDOWS OF THURSDAY is a new Netflix mystery-thriller miniseries with only six 45-minute episodes. This is a Mexican production (org. title: The Widows of Thursdays) and a remake Рor retelling, if you will Рof the 2009 Argentine film. Both this new series and the film are based on the popular book by Claudia Pi̱eiro .


The story takes place in a gated community in Mexico, where the rich live their best lives. Or are? Not everything is as it seems and in the opening scene, three men end up dead in a swimming pool. How this happened will ultimately be shown in the sixth and final episode, so you'll get definitive answers.


A very character-focused story.

This limited series has a very character-driven story, and that's exactly why there's enough for six episodes. The episodes are named after the different families in the community where everything takes place. This also results in a very non-linear narrative, but it is never confusing. We are also told when things happened “a month ago” to make sure we are okay with how things are evolving.


And we do need to understand what has been happening in this luxurious Altos de la Cascade estate. Obviously, not everything is as wonderful as it seems on the polished surface.



When Teresa (Irene Azuela) returns from the weekly night out with the other wives of the community, she finds her husband Tano (Omar Chaparro) and two of her friends dead in her pool. This obviously surprises the other residents, but everyone is quick to call it an accident. Well, at first anyway.


In the first episode, we learn why the wives are known as the Viudas de los Jueves or “The Widows of Thursdays”; the latter was actually the English title of the 2009 film.


The reason for this nickname is that husbands meet on Thursdays. Obviously, this leaves the night free for all the wives to go out to dinner and just have fun. They do not have husbands on this day, so people began to refer to them as widows and they held on to this new title.



However, that doesn't mean that these wives (or husbands, for that matter) are all real, true friends. Their friendship is mainly based on the fact that they live in this exclusive community and everyone is rich. Or at least that's what it seems, but very little is what it seems. In this character-driven story, we learn that people can be brutal to their so-called friends. Hell, even their spouses.

The Acolyte 2024 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

 There are three main types of Star Wars stories. There's the kind where you write whatever you want and call it Star Wars, common in the many novels published in the 1990s. There's the kind where you recycle existing Star Wars stories and make them familiar; this has been the primary way of doing things at Disney. But finally, there are the stories that enthusiastically use Star Wars as a setting to create something new. There have been several novels that fit that profile, as did the first season of Andor, and now, four episodes in, it looks like the new Star Wars series The Acolyte, set a century before the movies, also fits the bill. in that category. . The Acolyte centers on a pair of twins, Osha and Mae (both played by Amandla Stenberg). The girls were raised by an unaffiliated coven of Force users, but despite living outside the Republic, the Jedi, including Carrie-Ann Moss's Indara, stuck their noses into these women's affairs, leading to the disaster. As a resu...

Nefarious 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

 NEFARIOUS is a supernatural thriller. A skeptical psychiatrist, Dr. James Martin, takes the place of another psychiatrist who committed suicide. Dr. Martin has to interview a convicted serial killer to see if he's sane enough to be executed. The prisoner tells the psychiatrist that he is a demon called Lord Nefarious. Martin asks Nefarious to prove that he is a demon, but he gets more than he bargained for by making such a foolish demand. NEFARIOUS is an intense and hair-raising thriller with some good twists, dramatic dialogue, great acting, and fascinating direction. It has a strong Christian worldview that dramatically depicts the battle between God and Satan's world of demonic evil. God is clearly more powerful, however. For example, in one scene a character appeals to God and God performs a miracle. However, NEFARIOUS has a very strong execution scene that warrants extreme caution. The movie also has three relatively light obscenities and some scary conversations with a m...
