This week we are waiting for the release of the most long-awaited series of the fall, a thriller with Steve Carell, an animation about the digitization of consciousness and something else. We tell you more in our material.
September 2 Prime Video
Who to watch: those who are interested in what the most expensive series in the history of television looks like, as well as fans of John Tolkien.
September begins less with a school bell and yellow leaves than with a giant fantasy inspired by Tolkien’s various Middle-earth writings that he wrote after The Lord of the Rings. The show will tell about how the Rings of Power were forged, how the evil will of Sauron grew in Mordor, describe the story of the rise and fall of Numenor, the island of people, where Aragorn comes from. The main event of the story is the last alliance of elves and humans in the epic war against Sauron. The amount of money, special effects, extras, and the question of how showrunners Patrick McKay and John D. Payne will deal with the book original make the project the most anticipated premiere of the fall.

Who to watch: those who still believe that Steve Carell is just a boss from the series The Office, and thriller lovers.

The patient demands that the prisoner, who promised to help him at the first safe session, cure him of the desire to kill. An unexpected angle on the topic of psychotherapy, which was present in one way or another in many serials of recent years.
