Ralph Barbosa: Cowabunga (2023)
Easy to watch, chill, wholesome stand-up comedy
3 November 2023 - 8 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
- Very well paced. Not too stimulating.
- The topics weren't too controversial (as a Canadian viewer) - mostly wholesome humour.
- Ralph Barbosa's down-to-earth and "don't take life too seriously" attitude is refreshing. Even when topics get political, Ralph doesn't express strong opinions or keeps the topic light with humour.
- I didn't feel like I was watching an hour long show - time flew by. It was easy to watch.
- I loved Ralph's anecdotes. His stories are humbling.
- I also enjoyed Ralph's use of sound effects and physical gestures - it kept the show more engaging.
- I highly recommend.

Wednesday (2022)
Try-hard script, amateur acting, & poor world-building
21 January 2023 - 5 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
Why my rating's so low:
- Wednesday's script was too verbose and try-hard. This led to Jenna Ortega not being able to make Wednesday's words feel like her own. Jenna Ortega often mumbled and didn't enunciate the right words in a line. The words felt "read" - not "said".
- The setting/aura was too familiar and lacked originality - felt like a mix of Harry Potter and Wizards of Waverly Place.
- Some of the acting was bad.
- The story lacked direction and was all over the place. Significant events occurred too randomly with poor setup. The world (e.g., the school) wasn't properly introduced to the viewer.
- Wednesday's character was unlikeable and too monotonous. I understand that Wednesday as a character has to be frightful, but that shouldn't mean her range of emotions should be limited. It's hard to commit to a show when the viewer cannot empathize with the protagonist.
