Have you already spent 10 minutes scrolling on your screens without being able to find the rare pearl for your sofa night of the day? Don’t move, you’ve come to the right place. Every evening, Numerama now recommends a film and a series to you, to discover thanks to your subscriptions to SVOD platforms.
To survive this possibly complicated mid-week, on this Wednesday, February 8, 2023, we advise you to follow Edgar Allan Poe in the footsteps of a serial killer with The Pale Blue Eye on Netflix or endlessly repeating the same day in The Lazarus Project on OCS.
The film The Pale Blue Eye on Netflix, a dark and well-crafted investigation
If you miss the atmosphere of early Tim Burton films and like to find the culprit before anyone else, you should love The Pale Blue Eye, on Netflix. Immersed in a gothic atmosphere, this film stars Christian Bale (The Dark Knight), as a veteran inspector. Devastated by the death of his wife and the disappearance of his daughter in strange circumstances, Augustus Landor is tasked with investigating a mysterious series of murders at the West Point military academy. To assist him in this task, he will be supported by… Edgar Allan Poe.
Unsympathetic detective, reversals of situation, stories of the heart and even occult sciences… The Pale Blue Eye ticks all the boxes of a good thriller, to be enjoyed with a good cup of your best tea, snuggled up under a plaid. With the winter temperatures of this Wednesday, February 8, 2023, this film set in 1830 will be the perfect companion for your evening full of suspense. Especially since the feature film offers a stunning face-to-face between Christian Bale and Harry Melling (Harry Potter, The Queen’s Game), amazing in the role of young Allan Poe.

Series The Lazarus Project on OCS, a race against the clock (and against the end of the world)
An endless day apocalypse version and fast forward: here is a condensed summary of The Lazarus Project, which has just landed on OCS. In this sci-fi epic, George has the power to go back in time, but must make a tough choice: save his wife or the whole world. If you have been fed up with Loop Groundhog Day and time travel, you will clearly not be disoriented by discovering The Lazarus Project.
The English series multiplies action scenes, twists, explosions, innovative technological processes, all wrapped up in an infinite love story. Driven by the talent of Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), this first season of eight episodes will keep you in suspense until the end, without downtime. And if the scenario may seem simplistic at first glance, believe us, it still has many tricks up its sleeve to surprise you.
