I struggled with this from early on, it didn't drag me in and tempt me with a good romance or gripping storyline. In fact, up to this point in the story nothing much has happened.

She'd just found out she'd gone from having nothing to pretty much having everything...and I didn't care one bit. That was my cue to give up.

I think with all the good rating I expected it to be better but nah, not for me.

Motherland: Fort Salem is a dark fantasy full of twists and turns to keep you glued to each episode. No one is as they seem and the characters change as the season progresses. It is funny and sad, loving and full of sorrow. Each episode leaves you wanting more ESPECIALLY the last one which keeps you on the edge of your seat!

An absolutely fantastic series I am so happy to have found and I can't wait for season two!

"I enjoy reading epic stories from ancient history and in recent years have been reading abridged versions aloud to my kids. This epic poem was found on a series of ancient tablets from Mesopotamia written down over 4,000 years ago, and involves the central character Gilgamesh, an excessive and oppressive leader, and his arduous journey in pursuit of the secrets of immortality. His character evolves through his personal voyage towards accepting death, and you encounter so many tales that you recognize from history."

"Tarkovsky is my hero, and the hero of Russian cinema—a man who found a way to make transcendent, transgressive films that went beyond his political circumstances and captured something far more primordial and enigmatic about the world itself. For this and many other reasons, he’s considered to be one of the great directors in cinema history, which is no small feat for a Soviet artist. If you’re a newcomer to his films, start with Ivan’s Childhood and go from there."

"Okay, I’m going to do a hybrid again. Jacques Tati’s Mon Oncle and Playtime; I’m going to put those two together. One’s sort of spun off the other, in a way, but you could put either, because it’s really about Tati himself, and the conceptual art of his films. The film that has almost no dialogue, just gibberish and music and human behavior, and staging. Competition is staging, which I found fascinating. They seduce you into paying attention to the simplest of details."
