The synopsis:
Multinational immigrants traveling from the old continent to the new encounter a nightmarish riddle aboard a second ship adrift on the open sea. [IMDb]

I watched the whole TV series on November 20th.

At first, when I heard about it, I thought it might have to do with the Bermuda Triangle, or Devils Triangle. So I got excited and was always curious about this mysterious triangle.

So I watch it thoroughly. I will be honest with you. I was confused as I watched each episode by episode. I was like, ‘what the hell is happening?’ and wanted to know why it was happening to them. Until the end, I was like, oh. It was all in their head the whole time.
I can assure you this has nothing to do with Bermuda Triangle, but I am not disappointed, and I found something more interesting and better than this. I never thought it would be a story like this.
When I watched episode 2, Boy, I told myself, who was that boy? Why was he the only survivor of the Prometheus, believed to be a lost ship four years ago?  Then I saw something between that boy and Maura, one of the characters on the ship. I thought it might be her son. But Maura said she had a miscarriage. Again, as I said, I was confused. But I let go and let it go on the course with the story.  Needless to say, I said I was right.
As I went on from one episode to the next, I was anxious and overly curious about what happened next and next. I couldn’t stop watching. It was tense, and they were confused as I was. I feel like I was in it.  I would do anything to find out what was damn going on.
It was wow! It was a good TV show.
Hint: 2099, that is all I can say.

 🏘️ The Watcher

Synopsis:
A married couple moving into their dream home is threatened by terrifying letters from a stalker signed – “The Watcher.” [IMDb]
I heard about the Watcher about two months ago. I was thinking, should I watch this TV series? I told myself, Nah. I thought I would pass that one.
Then, I saw news, articles, and whatnot about this TV series. I think it did make a Top 10 one time on Netflix. So I thought, what was all the fuss about?  Then I learned that it was loosely based on a true story. So I read about this film and what was behind it.
The story is that the married couple did buy the house in 2014 for 1.3 million. They did renovations in the house before they moved in. And then, they did threatening letters from the stalker, ‘The Watcher’.  In the letters, it was quoted below:
“..several of the threatening letters were printed. “657 Boulevard is anxious for you to move in. It has been years and years since the young blood ruled the hallways of the house,” one eerie letter read. “Have you found all of the secrets it holds yet? Will the young blood play in the basement? Or are they too afraid to go down there alone.”

“I would [be] very afraid if I were them. It is far away from the rest of the house. If you were upstairs you would never hear them scream,” the letter continued.”
That is pretty scary, right?
They decided not to move into that house but did hire private investigators, and the Westfield police also conducted the investigation, but ‘The Watcher’ was never identified.  They even did sue the previous owners in 2015, alleging they knew about the stalker but did not say anything when they sold the house.  But the suit was dismissed.
They had to live in that house for the next five years but finally decided to sell the house for $400,000 or less in 2019. Ever since, the house is still on the market, according to Zillow. The value of that house is close to 1.5 million dollars.
So I thought I give it a try and watch the whole series from beginning to end on November 23rd.
I realize that I should have watched it when it came out a long time ago. It was good, and it was creepy, and everything seemed not right, and they couldn’t figure out who The Watcher was, but, later, the private investigators did make some creepy stories and truths to share with them, and there were also some twists that I never expected would happen. It was just wow!
Now it got me thinking: Did we know who The Watcher was? I cannot recall. Could it be more than one The Watcher? That remained a mystery, I think, or did I miss something? Hmm. 
The ending was, hmm; I say the husband got caught doing and lying, and the wife knew because she was on him, knowing it is not over.
Ooh, I cannot wait to see what Season 2 comes out if they decide to do it. I think they should do it.

☠️ Wednesday
Synopsis:
Follows Wednesday Addams’ years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents. [IMDb]
I watched the TV series on November 25th.
When I found out a few months ago that they would be doing Wednesday TV series directed by Tim Burton. I was excited about that, and I had waited forever for this.  It came to Netflix on November 23, 2022.
I have seen a couple of Addam Family movies and TV shows.  They are all good.
I had to sit down and watch the whole series all day! Every episode got better and better. I love detective work. It made me curious about who did it and why they did it. She pointed to the wrong person every time for the work of the mastermind. It was exhausting, but she kept digging further and kept going.  She did not give up. I like her!
The best part about the whole TV series is her dancing at the dancing event!  She was good at it! Her dancing was a homage to 1980s Halloween bops and goth goodness, especially from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video music.
Did you know that Wednesday loved to dance when she was young? It was a gif photo from Addam Family, a TV series from 1964-1966.
Now, Wednesday has suppressed Stranger Things, Season 4, as the most-watched English-language series (🔒) in a week on Netflix.
I hear that Season 2 may be coming.  Oh, I hope it is true.
