The Changeling (2023)
okay so here's the explanation
So mayor spoilers ahead.
The show is about Emma and Apollo. Emma goed to Brazil and meets a witch at a lake she was told by the locals NOT to go to. The witch grants her three wishes sealed by a red string bracelet which she may never cut, it needs to fall off. Back in the states, Apollo waited for her return and cuts the string because "he can make all her wishes come true". They marry (first wish), they get a kid (second wish), Brian. Then things start to go south: Emma develops what looks like postpartum depression but in fact, she does not believe Brian is Brian. It's not a baby, she keeps saying. It's actually a "changeling" a weird type of fairy monster that is switched with a baby. Emma comes in contact with women who are names Wise Ones. They tell her to get her baby back, she must kill the changeling. Emma kills it but does not get Brian back. She meets other women who have been trough the same on an island, Apollo finds the island with the help of William, who is actually Kinder Garten, a group of men who change baby's into changelings. Further in the show there are hints left behind for the women that point to a Norwegian forest (in the beginning of the show, the link to Norway is made). This forest is probably the place where the real baby's are being held, which would mean Emma did not kill her real son and her son is still alive, which probably will be the topic of season two: Apollo finds Emma, he finally believes her, they go to Norway to find Brian.
The Serpent (2021)
Pretty good but hire Dutch actors to play the Dutch next time!
It's overall pretty good and pretty freaky, but the Knippenberg guy speaking Dutch is just.. cringy all over. I am Dutch and there are so many wonderful Dutch actors that can work internationally (I mean look at Carice van Houten, Michiel Huisman etc.) so casting this British dude to play the ambassador.. come on.
Sightless (2020)
Pretty good!
She's a good actress and let's say a good way up compared to Riverdale.
