  The Electric State 2025

  ★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  the absolute epitome of the Netflix adaptation:

  - blandest leads possible with little to no chemistry
  - dull and lifeless visuals (watering down the absolutely beautiful illustrations of the original novel)
  - a ton of talented actors who are given absolutely nothing to work with and thus deliver pretty bad performances

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  Sophie thatcher and jack quaid are absolute power players, both of them really get to show off their chops here. Really really fun, though i wish it explored its premise a little more (i really liked the scenes when iris fucks around with her own settings…
