Take my advice, do not waste your time to read this!

  freepik.com Adulting is hard and never stop until you die. Another part of the story of mine. Nowadays, I find something is not matter again like the old days. The reason is I find how my past-scars affect my way of thinking about that. When I was college in my bachelor degree, I like to get new friends and develop closer friendship to whom I felt comfortable. My world was changed step by step, how lonely I was in my school-life, then everything around me became so crowded. I cherished my friends over me. I did not aware that it was my way to medicate my loneliness for a long time. Before, I got counseling or therapy (?) with a class-mate in profession class, I was clueless about myself. My reflection skill was actually not that outstanding, even less than standard that it should for psychologist-to-be. But, I try to work for it, especially for myself. Until now, it seems much better, but I still got carried away; my anger or my loneliness. In this new college life, I try t...

Dark Matter: another mind-bending for you who never enough of it!

Hello! Been so long to write again about book review! Here I am, writing another book written by Blake Crouch. The novel is released long ago and has been so popular. The rumor that it will be filmed, but there is still no movie. After finished the book, I am reminded by “US”, a movie by Jordan Peele, told about doppleganger. If you take hint about the doppleganger, Dark Matter has a similarity with it. The book focus on Jason Dessen, a psychic professor. He found that his home, his wife, and his son are gone after he got unconscious. After that, he aware that he in the different reality. He is neither a dad nor a husband. He is still a professor but in more advanced position than he think of. The surprises and twists will go along as the story goes. I have read and watched so many story about time travel or parallel world. So that, I don’t take the twists and surprises in this book as it should. Besides that, the story is fast-paced and original. The story in the middle part is my...

TV SHOW SCI-FI, MYSTERY, & SUPERNATURAL REVIEW! #4

Part 4 (Tales from The Loop, Devs, Calls, Archive 81) The Last! Here we go. Tales from The Loop This show is an anthology series that each episode delivers a different story. Several episodes are continuity from the episodes before so that it has a main plot and main characters that are related to each other.  Tales from The Loop tell about people who live above “The Loop”, a machine built to explore the mysteries of the universe. The show takes science-fiction as the major genre, but it combines other genres, such as family drama and human relationships. Several episodes deliver an original idea, even though some of those pick the usual plot story in the science-fiction genre. Plus, I like the cinematography; it is very poetic and peaceful!  The story is actually focused more on a family. The mother, Loretta; The father, George; The first son, Jakob, and his best friend, Danny; the second son, Cole; and the Grandfather. The family built the Loop and that machine change their ...

TV SHOW SCI-FI, MYSTERY, & SUPERNATURAL REVIEW! #3

Part 3 (Castle Rock, Undone, Maniac, Channel Zero) Again, having fun ride with me!! Let’s go Castle Rock  Castle Rock adapted from Stephen King’s novels. Castle Rock's popularity was rising after It, a movie that adapted also from Stephen King's novel . Castle Rock season one is my favorite than the second because the story is more scary and layered. It combines horror, mystery, and a little bit of science fiction so well. At first, it was more horror and mystery. A police found a strange man in a cage. The strange man gives several unlucky events to the people in Castle Rock. He called as the devil. But, who is he actually? The performance of Bill Skarsgard is never disappointed. He shows one of his best performances besides his performance as Pennywise in It. At the end of season one, the twist unfolds. This was when the story become more into science-fiction and supernatural. The second season is much different than the first; there are dead people becoming zombies and the...

TV SHOW SCI-FI, MYSTERY, & SUPERNATURAL REVIEW! #2

  Part 2 (Legion, Westworld, Black Mirror) Okay! We continue… Legion Legion is one of the Marvel heroes who has the most unique story. It is weird, combine with psychological thrillers and the supernatural. The main character himself, David, is one of the quirky and most unique characters. He is the son of Professor X, one of the most powerful heroes from X-Men. David has a powerful yet strange power. Because his power is so powerful, he got a mental illness. It was the question from season one, Does his power real or just the part of his madness? The second and the third season have different questions to answered and solved, but some of the mysteries were lingering until the end. David’s power, the plot, the mystery, and the psychological thriller are the interesting aspects of Legion. The show is like an extravaganza, so bizarre, colorful, and psychedelic.  one of the strangeness Season one is the best of the other seasons (Always…). But, the second and third seasons are ...
