Winter Watchlist Warmers - Full Circle - Miniseries

Full Circle is my latest miniseries binge. Funny I say binge, as it streams in Australia on Binge. Stateside it is a HBO Max or now, just Max title.

Created and written by Ed Solomon and directed by Steven Soderbergh, the series landed mid-July, concluding later that month. So I am playing catch up a wee bit here.

With just under an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes I did expect a fair bit from this six parter.

I am really leaning into Steven Soderbergh this week also getting into the film, Kimi. More on that later.

The cast in this Max total is also hot AF! Zazie Beetz, Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, Dennis Quaid, Jharrel Jerome, Sheyi Cole, CCH Pounder, Jim Gaffigan, William Sadler and Happy Anderson all star in the series was inspired by the 1963 Akira Kurosawa film High and Low.

The series had its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival on mid-June before it's streaming launch mid-July. So what's the plot? An investigation into a botched kidnapping uncovers long-held secrets connecting multiple characters and cultures in present-day New York City.

So it all links up more and more over the six episode run. With all characters melting together in New York City.

However the story doesn't really start and end there. But you'll have to watch this on Binge to find out what I mean.

This is not the best or the worst, Winter Watchlist Warmers. However as we are already reaching 30 degree days, this will be one of the last Winter Watchlist Warmers posts. A RATED post will land soon.

A new series for the last quarter (or so) of the year will commence soon. With big series finales for Fear the Walking Dead, Physical and Reservation Dogs incoming. Also a number of other shows are returning during this strike period. Two weeks left until FOX call off all 2023-2034 scripted shows. Will the strike end in time? Me thinks no after the Nanny, I mean Fran Drescher's most recent, passionate speech.
