Supersex (2024– )

Unexpected

[8/10 · 16 March 2024]

Most people probably expected some kind of weird celebration of the most famous italian porn icon... And got exactly the opposite. A 100% serious dramatization of Rocco's life - a very hard one, pun intended. Very well directed and acted (not an easy task at all). Not everything Is faithful to the real events, but Rocco was involved and the important meaning and message is there. Best surprise of this 2024, so far. Ignore the negative review s, most of them (check) come from people simply disliking the subject and watched 1 episode or less (don't understand why they feel entitled to review It, frankly).

Star Trek: Discovery: That Hope Is You, Part 1 (2020) Season 3, Episode 1

Ridiculous plot and insultingly bad acting

[5/10 · 17 October 2020]

I'm not complaining about Discovery not being "really Star Trek". This is completely irrelevant. If the title of this series were "Star Adventures" it would do just fine, for me. But please, are you folks giving 10 stars completely out of your mind? The general plot is absolutely unbelievable, childish at best... terrible dialogues, annoying overdramatized acting... what a waste of resources (since the show clearly has a reasonably high budget). The only reason for a 5/10 instead of a 1 or 2 is represented by the beautiful landscapes we see throughout the episode. This is NOT the SF we deserve in 2020.

The New Pope (2020)

Not for everyone

[10/10 · 10 February 2020]

This new series is CLEARLY intended for a "certain" kind of audience - people complaining about Malkovich and how "slow" and "boring" the first episodes are, simply can't understand what they're missing. Outstanding visuals, outstanding dialogues, oustanding acting - a deep, provocative (but not offensive) well-thought portrait of the marvelous complexity of the Christian (and not only Christian) Church in the 21st Century. Please, try to watch it until the very last second of the last episode (a true masterpiece of an episode!): because it gets better and better, and all makes sense as a whole. If you left the series after ep. 1 or even 2/3, your vote simply doesn't mean anything.

The Terror (2018–2025)

Season 1 ONLY

[9/10 · 23 August 2019]

I really can't understand why AMC decided to use the same title for two completely different series without any relation between each other (new plot, new directors, new actors...) - it's confusing, misleading, totally pointless. Given the above: the first season is a masterpiece. One of the top 4-5 series of the year. This second season is a very average product, deserving 6, maximum 7/10. Pointless to rate them together with a shared vote.
