Fate: The Winx Saga (2021)
Teen drama, magic and feminism
There's at least two references to feminist theory in every episode. All the guys are outside training or on missions all the time, while the girls spend their time on drama. The guys have to constantly train to be effective in combat, but the girls are born with their powers. All the powerful people in the series are women. There's maybe 5 relationships in the duration of the series, and only 3 of them are straight. One of the girls is obese with absolutely nothing interesting going on, but she's on screen most of the time. The boyfriend of the main character has no personality at all, and it's painfully obvious they tried to make a male Mary sue.
Santa Inc. (2021)
Political garbage
We watch entertainment for the entertainment value, not for some political purpose. This is a kids show, for adults. Extremely woke, extremely left wing, not funny at all just lectures. Presumably the target audience is mentally deficient adults addicted to confirmation bias.
The Conners (2018)
Ironic
I bet they made this show to prove how they'd be just fine without Roseanne. Are you winning?
Parks and Recreation (2009)
Leslie is literally the worst
Leslie is a good friend. Unfortunately, she is also absurdly pigheaded and bigoted towards white men. No matter what happens, she always gets her way in the end, because the world always revolves around her. The women in the show are all portrayed as amazing individuals. The men fall into two main categories: Effeminate, all of which are good people, or masculine, of which all are either directly professed feminists or sexist incompetent buffoons.
The Office was fun because Michael Scott was so terrible, and everyone could come together in their common dislike of him. Leslie Knope is awful too, but everyone are constantly worshipping her as if she's always right.
The reason why people like this show is because of all the supporting characters. Too bad the writers have such deep-rooted hatred for white men, and conservative values. I guess people who agree with her politics are blind to it.
Emily in Paris (2020)
Promiscious American Feminist in Paris
This could have been a great show, if she didn't ride everything with a pulse, and stopped complaining about the male gaze and whatnot all the time. Netflix has really become a bad joke.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Disjointed
It had a lot of cool characters and scenes, unfortunately they seemed disconnected. I'd love to see an entire movie about the stuntman and his dog, or the has-been action hero, or the cute actress watching her own movies, or even the hippies. I really don't need anything to be historically accurate, or to follow any real people.
Solar Opposites (2020)
Not too bad
Felt like a strange mix between Rick and Morty, and Bob's Burgers. Many cool ideas, but after watching a season, I still can't remember the names of any characters. I'd prefer if these ideas had been incorporated in episodes of Rick and Morty instead.
Devs (2020)
Strange music and edgy sci-fi does not make a good show.
The majority of the characters were unlikable, except for Forest (Nick Offerman) and Stewart (Stephen McKinley Henderson). Everyone appear sad and depressed all the time. The plot was very drawn out, and lacking direction. Strange music and edgy sci-fi does not make a good show.
South Park: Mexican Joker (2019)
It's just wasn't very funny
There's usually something funny in these episodes, but I didn't laugh once. Not even a chuckle. Did you? Be honest.
Good Omens (2019)
Not very good, not very bad
I liked the positive atmosphere of the show, and how the writers managed to make most characters feel likeable. This is probably the reason for the positive reception.
The storyline lacked direction, and was a bit all over the place, leaving many questions unanswered. There were a few clever moments though. Even many of the smaller scenes seemed incomplete somehow, as if bits were lost in the film adaptation.
There were many direct references to climate policy and feminism. This was also a running theme in the character designs, where all the male characters came across quite feminine, and vice-versa. I'd have much preferred if they'd have kept the politics out altogether.
The Good Doctor (2017)
Wasted potential
Great premise, great editing, good acting, awful writing.
I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes, and the main story line throughout season 1. Unfortunately, the secondary story lines averaged at mediocre.
Several secondary story lines were just awful, with terrible dialogue, specifically those covering topics like racism, sexism, feminism and transgender issues.
What a waste.
Why do I even bother writing these reviews.
The Greatest Showman (2017)
A slap-happy movie, for a simple-minded audience
The music lacked variation, was obnoxiously cheerful, and the lyrics mainly consisted of the typical "reach for the stars" nonsense, one has come to expect from modern musicals.
Although the base story had nothing to do with diversity and racism, these Hollywood pawns somehow managed to shovel it in there anyway. I did not appreciate the negative portrayal of white people, and men in particular.
Interestingly, they somehow managed to ignore the fact that this particular white man exploited "freaks" for profit.
The critics were absolutely right on this one. Talented actors could not save this dumpsterfire of a production. I regret wasting my time, and I am saddened that so many users have such poor taste.
What Happened to Monday (2017)
I liked it
The graphics were decent, and like any good Sci-Fi title, it was filled with various gadgets and near-future technologies.
In terms of storyline, it was thrilling. Some titles will serve everything up on a platter, but this one had me guessing several times.
Interestingly, it wasn't quite clear if the good guys won or not. This would be an excellent movie for a high school essay.
There are better movies, but this one is definitely worth watching.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Some cool elements, but an overall disappointment
I'm 9 episodes in, and I don't really know any of the characters. Maybe I can think of 8 characters with real dialogue; the rest are just nameless recurring extras. Cyborg-blonde and android-woman are always on the bridge, but I don't recall hearing them say anything. What's up with that? Those ~8 characters, make up two interracial relationships, one of which is homosexual with on-screen romance. Another one is an unattractive obese woman. One is a straight white man-child with PTSD. There is clearly a political agenda at play.
The Klingons are incredibly boring, especially their dialogue. Earlier shows portrayed them as honorable macho warriors with a rich culture, who would party like pirates, but now they seem more like sour angry psychopaths. They lost their charm.
The visuals and technology is great, as expected. The spore-drive is a cool addition. I'm happy with that part.
I miss warm and likable characters, like Voyagers Captain Janeway. I miss the fun banter with the crew, and learning about their personal stories, and the stories of the various alien cultures.
The bridge feels like a hostile work environment, and I'd rather be on the Orville.
South Park: Put It Down (2017)
Preachy political "fun"
Last episode, they spent the entire time making fun of rednecks, and promoting Amazon's Alexa product. Cartman's relationship, was a big boring subplot.
This episode, they spent the entire episode mocking Trump, following a boring homosexual relationship, and preaching safe driving. I don't think they ever included Kim Jong Un before, so it was disappointing to see them waste the material like this. He is a tiny angry Asian, the jokes practically write themselves.
I hear Apple made a new iPhone, maybe South Park will promote that in the next episode, with a nice message of remembering to recycle. Wouldn't that be fun.
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Incredibly edgy teen drama, with a terrible message
Going in, you've heard this is about a teenage girl who kills herself. Your intuition is that she is probably just a whiny idiot, who has succumbed to teen angst, but according to the score and all these glowing reviews, you must be wrong right? No, you are not.
I suspect many of the other reviewers did not bother to watch all 13 episodes.
The series touch on a number of issues, most notably homosexuality, bullying and rape. As Hannah is a girl, she naturally has to endure great amounts of sexual harassment, mostly from straight white boys. In fact, you will see lots of characters who fit the biases of the liberal millennial; they seem to be the target audience.
The first couple of episodes were pretty good if you don't mind edgy teen drama. Afterwards, the unanswered questions start to stack up, and the answers fall short.
Towards the end, the progressive message becomes very clear; men are generally creeps, and they don't think rape is a problem. On top of that, Hannah is painted as a victim of her suicide, and every person who wronged her, is blamed for her death.
The message is clear; if people are mean to you, it's OK to kill yourself, as long as you make a half-assed attempt at reaching out. Is that the kind of message you want your children to learn? I agree we need to talk more about suicide, but this show wasted the opportunity, and I find the message detestable.
Pure Genius (2016)
Feel good drama + flat characters + futuristic medical science
I just watched the first 3 episodes.
Each episode stands alone and follows the standard problem-drama-solution format, with about two cases running in parallel. Half of the time is spent on getting to know how the patients medical condition is affecting them and their loved ones on an emotional level, and the other half consist of the main characters discussing medical stuff and visualizing it with their fancy high-tech gear. Some of the main characters have an awkward romance going; will they, won't they, who cares.
I recognize some of the medical science from popular media, but as you might suspect, this show is just grabbing the cool parts and applying it to relatable patients who miraculously all recover.
Having watched large parts of "Royal Pains", this type of show seems all too familiar, and it's just not enough to keep me entertained for 40 minutes.
I recognized two of the characters (Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty) from other shows (House MD, Royal Pains), where they also played doctors, with exactly the same flat personalities.
If you liked "Royal Pains", you will probably like this too.
