The Vow (2020)
Bunch of smug out of touch elite idiots forking over thousands of dollars in cash for a front row seat in their cult to get themselves exploited and abused..
It's a descent production by hbo and the narrated archive footage from Vincente and his cronies.
But the show is too slow paced like one of their overpriced brainwashing cult workshops. Mostly due to the one episode a week release format hbo utilizes, as opposed to releasing the whole show at once format netflix utilizes. Which can give slower paced shows a somewhat faster pace because you can stay submerged into the show and story line. Every time you get drawn a bit into the vow it ends on some cliff hanger and you have to wait another week to get submerged into the story line again. If it was a faster paced show it would be less of an issue but this show is made mind numbing boring like the nxivm striped sashes workshops, the interactions in the vow are mostly superficial while it's stuffed with fillers and only gets going towards the end of the episodes. Which is when the episode ends and you have to wait for another week to get into it again. The vow itself is a dangling carrot like the nxivm cult stripe path workshop where you get one integrating revelation for every 99% bs you sit through. Wild wild country offers a better insight into cult life and has a better cult soundtrack.
These people are indeed kind of special but not from a breed they think they are but a special kind of fools flocking together to fawn over one shoddy perverted fool.
And by the way the vow producers want you to know nxivm is NOT a sex cult if you didn't already know that, it is a multi level marketing pyramid scheme cult.
The Witcher (2019)
The hype isn't real: A superficially big show with very little substance
The action sequences and scenery are alright but the writing and character development is poor and all over the place.
Visually you can see the show took a lot of buck$ to make but it has very little substance behind it fleshing everything out, the scenery and characters are pretty to look at on the surface but they're still made from cardboard.
A gold plated t*rd can look shiny and fool some folks into thinking that it is something it's not, but it will never ever turn into real solid gold.
The show is build on hype and badly overrated, it is neither a 0 or a 10 star but substantially this is very mediocre writing material. The Witcher cannot hold a candle to other acclaimed fantasy show productions like GOT, no matter how much overvalued and flashy action sequences they manage to stuff into The Witcher.
