“Life in Color”
3 out of 5 stars
The movie is really informational, but it did end up staying on for background noise as I cleaned my room. It starts out a little slow and dry, but it is sort of entertaining.
I would recommend this series to anyone who is into nature documentaries. I would also recommend it to anyone who is interested in exotic animals or anyone who just needs a show to listen to and occasionally look up at.
I didn’t hate the layout or sequences of camera shots. I really thought they made the show more eye-catching.
“Shadow and Bone”
4 out of 5 stars
This is a fantasy series that premiered April 23 on Netflix. This is an action-packed series that follows an orphan mapmaker discovering her powers. I would have given this series a 5 out of 5, but it tends to follow overused elements in the storyline. For example, a land plagued by war. The main character is an orphan who didn’t know they were magic and they are the only person who can save them.
I still really liked the movie. It uses these elements in some new ways. I recommend this series to anyone who likes fantasy and magic.
