Dexter: Resurrection (Paramount+)
Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) awakens from a coma and sets out for New York City, determined to find Harrison and make things right. But when Miami Metro's Angel Batista arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching up to him fast. You feel that he's back, but not the same as before, as if he's matured, as if he's tired, as if he's no longer killing just to kill, he's thinking more, calculating, and this made me like his character more. The directing was excellent, the cinematography reflects the tension in the story, everything seems a bit gloomy, dark, cold... exactly the atmosphere we want to see Dexter in.

Brick (Netflix)
A couple whose apartment building is suddenly surrounded by a mysterious brick wall must work with their neighbors to find a way out.

From the first few minutes, when Tim and Olivia wake up to find their apartment sealed shut by mysterious black walls, you know you're in for something unique. The feeling of claustrophobia, confusion, and rising panic is executed brilliantly, and it only intensifies as more residents realize they're trapped in the same surreal nightmare.
