All of Us Are Dead Starring Joon-Soo Oh
Joon-soo oh is an award-winning actress and host. She made history when she became the first Asian-American woman to co-host the Golden Globes.
Oh has a long list of credits, including two Canadian films and starring roles in Judging Amy and American Crime. She also played the ruthlessly ambitious medical intern Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy.
All of Us Are Dead
All of Us Are Dead is a zombie drama that is as much about a society failing its youth as it is about a zombie outbreak. It’s one of the most popular TV shows in Korea, and it has made it to Netflix’s list of most-watched shows.
Compared to many other zombie series, All of Us Are Dead does an excellent job of exploring the social issues that plague young people. These include social class warfare, cyberbullying and sexual abuse.
The show also tackles the issue of survivor’s guilt, which is often left unaddressed in these types of shows. It doesn’t go overboard on this topic, but it does make you feel sympathy for characters who may have made decisions that were bad choices.
All of Us Are Dead is an effective zombie show that manages to balance gore and violence with a compelling narrative. It has a great cast, and the production is top-notch, including set designs and prosthetic work. However, it struggles to break away from the same tired story structure that has characterized many other zombie series.
Killing Eve
One of the most successful spy thrillers of all time, Killing Eve follows two women who become obsessed with each other: MI5 security operative Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). Their mutual obsession becomes a cat-and-mouse chase across the globe.
The show was a major hit for BBC America, which renewed it for a fourth season last January. It received acclaim from critics and was nominated for an Emmy.
Sandra Oh, who stars as Eve Polastri, became the first Asian woman to be nominated for a lead actress Emmy for her role. She hopes that the recognition will inspire other Asian women to pursue a career in acting.
The series was created by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starred Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri and Jodie Comer as the ruthless globe-hopping assassin Villanelle. It is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and AMC+. Past seasons are also available on Amazon Prime Video and Vudu.
The Chair
Killing Eve and Dirty John alum Sandra Oh stars as Ji-Yoon Kim, the first woman and the first person of colour to chair the English department at a prestigious university. She finds herself amidst a chaotic system that seems almost impossible to fix.
Netflix’s six-episode series is a masterful wry look at how the institution of higher education can be calcified and slow to change, even when people try. But, unlike shows like The White Lotus and Succession, it takes a softer approach to campus culture, examining generational divides in the context of college and recognizing that change is not always easy.
The Chair is a balancing act, a quick-paced series that balances its comedy with dramatic heft, never letting key characters wallow in their misery and allowing them to remain sympathetic throughout the show’s six half-hour episodes. Its wry tone is calibrated perfectly for a cast that includes underrated character actors David Morse, Bob Balaban and Holland Taylor.
Sideways
Sandra Oh is a seasoned actress who has starred in such films as The Princess Diaries and Sideways. She has a wide following in Canada where she was born on 20 July 1971 in Nepean to middle-class Korean immigrants, John and Young-Nam Oh.
She has a piercing, intense beauty that makes it clear she is not just a Hollywood starlet. She mixes grit with glamour in the lead role of Anatomy, where she plays a neurosurgeon.
Her performance is so good that it is hard to believe she has such a difficult life in a big city. She has a husband, Alexander Payne, and a daughter, Grace, who she says is very close to her.
This movie is about a mid-life crisis and it focuses on two friends, Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Hadden Church). They take a road trip to wine country, and the rest of the film follows them as they try to get through their rocky patch together.
