Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: No effort to create anything of substance. Some attempt at world-building. But why would a hollow universe interest anyone? Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime
Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Love is fickle—that's my takeaway from this boring romance. The only highlights are some song and dance sequences.
Streaming Partner: Netflix
Wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list
Quick review: Homebound touches you because it's intentionally unsettling. A no-frills look at society, with simple-AND-powerful storytelling and grounded, heartfelt performances.
Streaming Partner: Netflix

Quick review: It's so bloated that every thump in the music, each fight sequence, nearly every song, every attempt at comic relief seems like a huge, stinky burp.
