New Material V
I hate emails with offers from second-hand shops. They always tempt me with genuinely good discounts and even free shipping. Maybe I should ask them if they’d sponsor articles like this. No, of course, I’m just kidding! I want to keep this as advertisement-free as possible, which is also why I don’t mention the names — read more

LOST III (S1)
Locke undergoes quite a transformation in the first season and establishes himself as one of the most mysterious characters. This could be due to his backstory with his father and Helen, which is anything but simple. Add to that his paralysis and the fact that he’s no longer confined to a wheelchair. Together with Boone, — read more

New Material IV
These three new series in my collection come from a little after-work trip to my favorite second-hand store here in Frankfurt. As you can easily tell, this store has one big problem, you always find something! About 95% of my vinyl collection also comes from this shop, especially all my jazz records from the ’50s, — read more

LOST II (S1)
This statement, which I’ve come across multiple times during my research, that you have to “fight your way” through the first season and that it only really gets going in the second, makes less and less sense to me. All the key characters who are important for the rest of the series, aside from those — read more

Westworld III (S1)
I’ve now finished the second disc of the first season, and I think writing an article for each disc is a good rhythm for Westworld. The series is very dense and covers an incredible number of topics, especially regarding artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness. Yes, artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness are two entirely different things — read more

Stargate SG1
Stargate as a whole and Stargate SG-1 (SG1) in particular is another series that helped me through a difficult time. This is also the reason why I refuse to watch the series on Freevee, as the commercial breaks are simply incredibly exhausting and unbearable. Furthermore, I still find it extremely sad that Stargate Universe (SGU) — read more

MINDHUNTER
Mindhunter is a series with an extremely tragic outcome, as it’s one of the first series that Netflix simply cut off without a proper ending. The situation went so far that even one of the leading directors, David Fincher, was unsure for a long time whether it would continue or not. The series is based — read more

The Blacklist XI
The separation of Samar and Aram was, as is often the case with such series, extremely odd! Why does it always have to end so strangely? They could have let it continue and Samar is just mentioned occasionally, but not shown anymore. However, I find it good that they didn’t kill her off, as is — read more

New Material III
Once again there have been some new additions to my collection, and it no longer feels too strange to call it a collection, as a lot of things are coming together. Sure, even a little makes a collection, but I still think there has to be an undefined size to call something a collection. And — read more

Westworld II (S1)
I’ve now finished the first three episodes (one disc, as I’m watching the whole thing on DVD) and I’ve totally forgotten how good this series is. What you notice immediately is the pacing, because even if you already know what it’s about, the build-up is relatively slow and takes its time. You’re meant to understand — read more
