Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous - Season 5 - Netflix Original


Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction

Rating: TV PG

Synopsis: Teens attending an adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar must band together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc on the island.

Previous seasons do need to be watched to understand the relationships between the group and what they've been through so far. If you've seen the Jurassic World movies, including the most recent it will add some missing details but it's not necessary to watch them before. 

I would recommend watching the Jurassic World Dominion movie before the last episode so that some revelations during the show will make sense and will avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the movie. 

Season 5 is the last season so it had high expectations to finish with a bang and wrap up any loose ends. With a total of 12 episodes, this time around I did think it was the perfect amount, with the exception of Episode 5 which I thought was pretty much a filler. 

Worse: Episode 5 - The Leap. Had no/little story progression and felt like a filler episode.

Best: Episode 12 - The season finale wrapped up the entire show perfectly and connected to the most recent movie beautifully.

Final thoughts

This season was emotional for many reasons. Those familiar with the show will see each character has grown so much during the course of the entire show. However this season it is made crystal clear that they have changed in many ways, both good and bad. The season was wrapped up beautifully and the last few scenes just made it even more amazing. I only wish I could watch the kids grow up more, see where else they go and what they do. 

9 out of 10. Highly Recommend. Anyone who loves dinosaurs and can handle the tense situations the kids find themselves in will love this show.

  Genre:  Drama, Fantasy, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced. Being a huge fan of the TV show I was looking forward to this as I was intrigued as to what my favorite supernatural beings were up to and what they would face.  Honestly, for the villain of the story, I was somewhat confused by the choice, especially with the fact that the character highly connected to it in many ways, was missing entirely. Now I know that not all actors want to return for a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or whatever, however with this in mind the choice of v

Cabinet of Curiosities - 2022 Netflix Original

  Genre:  Drama, Horror, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  Bizarre nightmares unfold in eight tales of terror in a visually stunning, spine-tingling horror collection curated by Guillermo del Toro. As a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro, I had high hopes for this. The opening is visually stunning and the music reminds me of the nightmare before Christmas.  There are some huge stars present and regardless of the story, I personally think everyone did an incredible job showing each character. The problem with a collection of short stories, such as this, is you run into a time problem. Some stories did not get enough time, while others wasted time on things that did not progress fast enough for the time allotted.  Here is a quick breakdown of my thoughts for each episode.  Lot 36 - A very slow start and quick end. Lots of build up very little reward, but the monster was cool. 6 out of 10. Graveyard Rats - Very cool visuals, great story, and straight to the point. Great creature design. 8
