The first episode of Day One introduces us to Ulises (Álex González) who has lived in seclusion for the better part of a decade following the death of his sister. Out of the blue, he’s contacted by his old programming partner Samuel (Asier Etxeandia) who has discovered something dark at the heart of tech billionaire Diskin’s (Jordi Mollà) next release. Uncovering the dangerous truth about the product that might put millions in jeopardy, Samuel reconnects with Ulises but is killed before the details can be explained leaving the programmer on the run both from the police (who mistakenly believe him to be responsible for Samuel), Diskin and his agents, and the assassin (Renata Notni) who killed Samuel whose true allegiance has yet to be determined.

“Cold Plunge” and “Chinos” bring an end to our spies’ hiding starting with Abby’s (Ashleigh Cummings) foolish decision that puts her family in danger and gets her captured. We get a brawl between Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) who now knows it was Mason who betrayed Citadel, and we get Bernard (Stanley Tucci) bringing the two spies together with his new CIA friends (Jack Reynor and Lina El Arabi) and Frank Sharpe (Matt Berry) to go on the offensive in a half-assed plan that goes off the rails almost immediately and leaves one of their own bleeding out on the floor of the CIA.

Alice in Wonderland

  • Title: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
  • IMDb: link

Disney’s 1951 adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s novel is a fever dream dropping young Alice (Kathryn Beaumont) down the rabbit hole into a nonsensical world which is both everything she ever wanted and far more than she bargained for. The film follows Alice through a series of odd, mostly disconnected, and admittedly beautifully rendered, adventures coming across the likes of the Mad Hatter (Ed Wynn), the Cheshire Cat (Sterling Holloway), the Queen of Hearts (Verna Felton), and others, while following the White Rabbit (Bill Thompson).
