Kay Scodelario’s character Laura Harrison is fictional
A fictional miniseries based on Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship three times. She is based on journalists who covered Ayrton Senna’s career. In addition, Scodelario’s family is Brazilian from Senna’s native São Paulo.
She is also fluent in Brazilian Portuguese
Senna’s early career races in England are shown at a racetrack next to a mountain range. There are no mountains in England – especially Norfolk, which is famous for its flat landscape. First, while opinions on historical accuracy may differ, one cannot help but notice the profound impact Ayrton Senna had on Brazil and its people.
As for the series itself, it is a masterpiece of storytelling and production
In addition to his undeniable talent and charisma on the racetrack, Senna was and remains a unifying symbol for a nation often divided by social, economic and political differences. At a time when Brazil faced enormous challenges, he brought hope, pride and a rare sense of community. Even today, in an era marked by political polarization, Senna’s legacy continues to transcend these divisions, making him one of the few figures that all Brazilians can celebrate.
It captures not only the man behind the wheel, but also the cultural phenomenon that Senna became
. The cinematography, acting and attention to detail set a new standard for Brazilian series, making it arguably the best ever produced in the country. While dramatization is inevitable in such works, it helps to highlight the emotional and historical resonance of Senna’s journey, not to diminish it.
Ultimately, the series is not intended as a documentary, but rather a tribute to a man who inspired millions
It manages to evoke the passion, dedication and human connection that defined Ayrton Senna, a man whose story deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

Scenario
A TV adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first played him on screen in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which flopped at the box office and prompted Lionsgate to scrap a planned sequel, Double Cross. Although I had never read any of James Patterson’s source material, I had heard of Alex Cross long before production on this TV series began.
The series follows Cross, who is a decorated DC
It’s definitely something I knew I’d like and have done… a lot. Aldis Hodge is an up-and-coming and underrated actress who absolutely rocks the role of Alex Cross.
homicide detective and forensic psychologist
He investigates the victims to better understand who murdered them. Here, he tracks down a serial killer with his partner, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), who also has ties to his past.
The best thing about this show is that it is never boring
In addition to being a detective, he is also a family man and dedicates himself to being great at both. That is the least you can ask of a show, to get involved in the story and never get bored.
Cross does that

These Eyes Written by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings Starring The Guess Who
Scenario
An absurd triptych of apparently unconnected stories finds a mysterious point of intersection in this tale set somewhere between Winnipeg and Tehran.. Canada’s official submission for the “Best International Feature Film” category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.. From its cinematography and its usual search for symmetry, whether static or in moving shots, and its pleasant aesthetic with a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the universality of the settings, to its story that revolves around different characters, to the way their lives intersect and enliven a dialogue that is sometimes polite, sometimes not so much, an influence of Wes Anderson runs through Matthew Rankin’s feature from start to finish.
A freelance tour guide with strange choices for his tour, etc
As in Anderson’s films, Rankin is interested in exploring the reality of his film, a reality full of idiosyncrasies that serve as fertile ground for comedy. An angry teacher in a classroom yelling at students, one of whom claims a turkey stole his glasses; another is dressed like Groucho Marx because he wants to be a comedian; and another like a fashionista. With a comedy made of ironic, deadpan and black humor, Une langue universelle manages to be hilarious whenever it wants to be.
Rankin’s dexterity manages to evoke a dreamlike surrealist fable but also an expressive introspective melancholy
There are many times when its events border on the absurd or surreal, furthering the comedy that bathes it without ever undermining its goal of thought-provoking depth. Elements and feelings that blend together and give rise to a special experience between places and times, reality and dreams. For example, in the reality of the film, even though we are in Canada, French, not to mention English, seems to be a second language, and in its place there is Persian.
The camera is sometimes static from afar, observing their movement and how it affects their surroundings instead of focusing on their faces and expressions with close-ups
Everyone speaks it, and signs and billboards are written in it, making its result feel like something close but distant, known and unknown, blending into a new reality that is culturally and demographically blind. In terms of the cinematography, which often resembles Anderson’s, more in framing and movement than in color palette, there is a constant desire to inhabit the spaces where the characters find themselves. It’s as if the place is as important as the characters to the telling of the story, and Rankin wants to make sure we enter it like tourists from a foreign land.
And while in terms of names we might know these cities, in the frame of the film and its demographic profile that doesn’t match our knowledge, there might be reasons to enter these spaces
