The name of this series immediately evokes associations with the sinister Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil. However, the series is not about how Alice's companions were preparing to repel zombicalypsis. And about the team of superheroes diametrically opposite in character, whom the adoptive father, Sir Reginald Hargreaves, was preparing to save the world from an unknown threat. Cooked, cooked, and he died.
And then another of the brothers returned from the future to talk about what a gloomy picture awaits his brothers and sisters. And the disbanded team was teaming up to continue the work of the father and prevent the Apocalypse.

Speaking of the best serial news this year, we can’t ignore the Witcher. The rating of his expectations on Kinopoisk is 98%.
At the same time, the game set such a high bar for fans' expectations that it will be very difficult for Netflix and the authors of the film adaptation to match them. And the choice of Henry Cavill for the role of the harsh and charismatic Geralt of Rivia has already caused heated debate. When a photo of Cavill, made up under Geralt, appeared, many felt that he looked too cute. Others argue that Cavill does not occupy acting and that he is so accustomed to the image of a monster hunter that everyone gasps in admiration.
But the photo of young Tsiri was kept secret for a long time. Only recently the photos of actress Freya Allan leaked to the Network, possibly in the image of a Lion Cub from Cintra.
According to unconfirmed information, The Witcher will be released in December 2019.
