Moon Knight (2022)
Starts interesting but declines. Is hurt by weekly release format
The show starts very interesting and intriguing. However it has a lot of "filler" moments or moments where things could all be resolved then and there, but the hero is stopped from taking action due to personal reflection/introspection or something only to spring into action when the chance is gone.
Also there's the protagonists "trait" that interferes with the story when it is least convenient. And you find yourself being annoyed at the writers and the use of pretty obvious tropes to delay progression of the plot.
Because Disney releases this show on a weekly basis it becomes very frustrating really fast because you feel the writers are just wasting time that could have been spent on plot progression and you keep thinking no this isn't what I waited a week for. Go on whit this or that don't waste it on pointless "slapstick" or "fish out of water" jokes. And you find yourself spending more time checking how long the episode still has left to get to a point especially because you will have to wait a week for the story to continue.
It's still an intriguing show. But it works out certain tropes really cliché and it's delaying/episode filling could have also been done differently with more Background lore exposition for instance.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Not bad for what is essentially an Avatar knock off
So if youa re familiar with Avatar the last airbender this will feel pretty familiar to you.
There's the mythical wise ancient one that suddenly disappeared and is basically the aang character.
We have a Zuko character
we have the gang traveling the world to gain/learn a new power etc....
Despite this it was still an entertaining movie although I would have been better off re-watching Avatar the last airbender until Disney finally stops charging for this movie.
Helstrom (2020)
interesting concept ruined by silly drama
Without spoiling it, it had an interesting concept but it is ruined by irrational overly emotional CW type characters.
There's a lot that feels like pointless filler and pointless drama. And the characters are acting more like angsty 90's/early 2000's teenagers than adults. Which pulls you out of it.
I got halfway tot he third episode before I turned it off. I might watch it later but for now it feels like a CW produced supernatural show aimed at 13 year olds and not something made for the adult audience targeting Star.
Britannia (2017)
It's not the terrible thing the culture warriors want to make it out but it's also not as amazing as the 10/10 reviews claim
So yeah, this thing has the problem of a bunch of culture warriors giving it 1 star reviews because they are angry about culture war nonsense, but it also has the problems of people overcompensating and praising it to the moon.
I'm in season 2 now there are things I like there are things I don't like
- Don't expect to see a nice shows about the invasion of Britannia, this is a fantasy series with lots of magic, and it's not even Roman gods vs Britannic gods as i think even the religious parts are pretty much invented for the show.
- It has annoying tropes like Romans wearing leather (Just give them a blooming Lorica if the show Rome could do it, you can do it too ). Their fortified camp is never actually a fortified camp as we know them and it annoyed me
- The fantasy part and the lore etc.. are intriguing
- The actors decent to good
TL;DR Hated it at first because of details and obvious inaccuracies, kept watching and liked certain aspects of it once I got over the fact that this is a magical fantasy show with the Second invasion of Britain as a background setting.
Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer (2019)
interesting subject...poorly executed
The subject matter is really interesting and horrifying, but there's this trend in American made documentaries, to add drama and irrelevant "personal touches" of people, a documentary that could have been informative and interesting and told in 1 episode gets dragged out over the course of 3 episodes.
Still interesting but if you aren't a fan of irrelevant dramatic shots of someone pondering and saying how they felt about something and then staring silently for a while, or if you like your documentaries to stick purely to this is what happened, this is how it happened, and here's some interesting information etc... then you'll find yourself skipping/fast forwarding 30% of this.
It would have also been interesting to delve more in the psyche of the killer instead of the folk trying to hunt down the guy.
Overall still an interesting docu, but it could have been so much better and informative
