Sherlock (2010)
Could be a lot better
First of all, this is not a bad show. The acting is good. I love Cumberbatch but I think the show is overrated if you compare to some of the greatest tv shows in the past 15 years.
Here's why :
1h30 per episode is too much.
The super power of Sherlock to solve the investigations makes it unrealistic
The villains are shallow and boring
The investigations are not interesting. I was not motivated to solve anything. The show tries too hard to make it smart, but it is not...
I seriously don't understand why the show is rated so high...
If you are looking for a good investigation TV Show you can PM me.
I hope IMDB won't decline my review this time.
The Peripheral (2022)
Same for me : it's losing me
They should have made a movie instead.
The plot is good. The idea is good. The CGI are good but please stop adding useless conversations et useless new characters. I feel nothing happened after 8 episodes. It doesn't add anything to the plot.
The main character is good but in this TV show I think I would choose someone else. The villain is the worst. Not interesting at all.
I gave up and I am not interested to watch season 2. I wanted so bad to like but episodes after episodes I feel more bored. I just don't care about what is going to happen because the writing is bad.
I like the invisible cars though. Like I said the idea is good but they just wasted it.
6/10 is generous for now.

The Wire (2002)
Some good some bad
This is the second time I try to watch the show and here's my updated review :
What I liked :
- the character development is very good.
- the gangs make us feel and understand what happens in the streets
- I like the throwback in the 90's
- I like tv shows about gangs and drugs
What I didn't like:
- too slow. The story is good but I expected more entertaining. It is okay to be realistic but it's still supposed to keep us interested - it's not a documentary. I liked the seasons 3 to 5 except for some long long political conversations.
- the fights look fake in season 1. Kicks and punches are horrible. It gets better after.
- There is no background music or thrilling music
- I understand someone from baltimore can love it but the fact that I cannot relate at all makes me bored sometimes
I have watched over hundred of tv shows but the sopranos, GOT, Rome, the Office, Narcos, Dark, Better Call Saul, Yellowstone, Band of Brothers and Breaking Bad are much better in my opinion.
It is a good show but I think The Wire is not the best show of all time.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Hard to review
I am a fan of GOT and the expectations are high.
What I like :
- the dragons look nice and realistic. The CGI are good.
- i like the idea of the prequel because I miss GOT.
What I don't like :
- after 8 episodes I still do not know what are my favourite characters because there is no development yet. Everything is dark and politic talking.
- it's only about the targaryen. Where are the other kingdoms? I know it's the house of dragon but I expected to see more families and enemies like GOT.
- the story takes place in the castle and that's all. No main plot and no adventure or side stories.
- where are the battles and the action? Please take a little break of politic talking and give us fights.
I just hope it is just a slow burn and the action will arrive soon.
My rate is 7/10 because it is good but can be a lot better.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
I changed my review unfortunately
I am a fan of Lord of the Rings and I gave it a chance but after 5 episodes I'm still waiting for LOTR vibes. The expectations are high because it is a big franchise.
For a tv show, we can see the budget is very good. The cinematography shows us good effects.
The problem is we do not feel to be in the LOTR world. Galadriel and elves are not really likeable.
I hate the hobbits character. Too childish for me. Frodo and Sam are still the best.
The music is good but not as good as the music in the movies.
I miss Frodo, Legolas and Aragorn.
I just it will get better. The plots need to be more attractive. I do not feel any suspense right now.
7/10 for now.
LOTR forever.
