Inception Beginnings is like if Gravity had a touch of Sci-(Semi)Fi, and was a good movie with good acting, among other things.
My only problems were with the pacing, and with the final plot twist, while great, was foreshadowed too much and so I guessed it.
On the other hand, the movie thrives on originality, the whole cast give such a great performance, there are a fuckton of sad moments and plot twists, and it was absolutely genius how they managed to induce acid into the disc.
The quality of this never-ending series has slipped a long way since its heyday, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a show so well-written and rewatchable for the first 10 or so seasons. It's relatable for kids who watch it, but also, as I grew I noticed and related to other characters, dialogue and plot points.

A rotating cast of white British men act as the “helicoptered-in” detective inspector working with a tiny team of local sergeants and constables. Each DI starts their run of episodes literally flying in, most often from London, and often struggle with culture shock, to comedic effect.
Despite the fairly frequent cast changes, the stories emphasise camaraderie and community. Instead of turning to focus on how close-knit communities close around their own, community in Death in Paradise is much more inclusive. Even if this is a stereotype about friendly tropical islands, the themes of taking care of each other and accepting each other's foibles are pretty comforting to watch.
Each episode is incredibly formulaic. Plenty of locked room mysteries here, only slightly bumbling detective work and a round-up at the end. Comfort watching set on a beautiful Caribbean island.
