Daredevil: The Devil You Know (2018)
Well executed episode.
One of the best episodes so far. I have to say the development of every single character in this show has been done beautifully. I especially have been enjoying watching the downfall of Dex which is a bittersweet process. Essentially the show does an excellent job of connecting the audience with him at the start of the season, just for us to slowly watch his unfortunate demise as he follows a path Fisk has helped manipulate him into taking.
The next best thing is the Bulletin scene. The layout, the acting, the lighting, the cinematography... Everything about this scene was perfect. It felt true and everything about it made me feel like I was really, truly watching a comic book adaptation.
Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018)
Good acting, ridiculous storyline, frustrating outcome.
I think that actors did a great job portraying characters and wish I could rate this movie higher because of it.
However the entire storyline was ridiculous. It wasn't even the catfishing that I had a problem with. I appreciated the spotlight being shed on a topic that happens more often than we think. I even appreciated the story behind Sierra and why she was doing what she was doing (even though I thought her character was a selfish idiot). What I thought was absolutely stupid and ridiculous was the outcome.
In what world is it okay to pretend to be someone else and trick another person into falling for you? And how was she so easily forgiven for her horrendous actions? What she did to Veronica was horrible and the fact she got what she wanted in the end pissed me off. How was she so easily forgiven? Why were her actions so quickly shrugged off? Why were no consequences even really highlighted for what she had done? It was as if we went through all of that just to be given "Oh so I know you catfished me. That's wrong. But that's okay I forgive you let's go to prom!"
I love myself a good ol' cliche ending now and then, I won't lie. However, this cliche ending was so unwarranted it's not even funny.
Definitely in my pile of "seen it but would never watch again".
