Aelliseu (2020)
Dear past me: save yourself and do not watch this.
The first few episodes of this show are truly excellent. They con you into flushing a further 12 hours of your life away. The middle few episodes deteriorate into a soap-opera-worthy emotional dirge with all attempts at plot development suspended. Just as you are considering giving up and watching something else, the show senses this and feeds you just enough plot and action to push on to the end. At some point in this final episode you will realise there are only 10 minutes of the show left and nothing has actually been explained. 16 hours invested for an ending high on cheese and low on content with the main premise of the show glossed over? It's enough to make you want to go back in time and stop the show from being made...
Ad Astra (2019)

This movie was released 6 months too early. If it had waited then the world would have been in lockdown and it would've received the 'straight to tv' treatment it deserved.
Brad Pitt in a Space movie? Could be interesting, right?

I'd love to give a more thorough review, but having just endured this movie I'm struggling to think. It wasn't intellectual, engaging or fun. The boredom has killed my evening and possibly caused lasting damage. I must wipe the drool from the corner of my mouth and hope I'm recovered by morning.
Save yourself: Find _anything_ else to watch.
P.S. The 2 minutes of space monkeys were good.
