THE 7 LIVES OF LÉA is a new Netflix series from France (org. title Les 7 vies de
Léa). The genres include thriller, mystery, crime, and fantasy. We have two of
the most wonderful sci-fi subgenres as plot drivers; Bodyswapping and time
travel. For this series, both happen at the same time.

This new Netflix series is based on the book “The 7 Lives of Léo Belami” by
Nataël Trapp, which was released in 2019. Obviously, some changes have
been made since Léo is now Léa. Also, in the book, a girl was murdered in 1988
while a boy dies in 1991 in this Netflix adaptation. The core concept, however,
is very much the same.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness pulls away from the pack of
Marvel films. It's cinematography, scoring, and world building make it

essential viewing for any comic fan and moviegoer who enjoys out-of-this-
world experiences. Do not go into this movie expecting it to spell everything
out for you though, as it relies heavily on previously established storylines. As
Marvel crafts an even larger universe of its own, it's clear that fans will need to
keep up with all of its content in order to understand the larger themes and
layered characters that are explored. If that is a problem for you, do not
expect to enjoy this movie. Personally, I loved the way the events of
WandaVision were tied in. Elizabeth Olsen was excellent in her role. My
biggest fear going in was that this would end up being a movie primarily
about Wanda however, to my surprise, this movie added stunning layers to
Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange.
