Citadel (2023)
Lost me in the first episode
The shows start really poorly with the main characters surviving an event that would most likely be impossible to. From the get go the show feels like fantasy.
After that it introduces the Citadel agency in a contradictory way. The people in the show describe the agency as elite. But what we see, shows them as incredibly incompetent. Storing nuclear codes and list of all agents in one briefcase in a safe in an unsecured location? Sounds ridiculous.
Then nothing intriguing afterwards, nothing interesting about the characters.
A good spy shows needs to feel believable. This shows treats the audience as stupid. Maybe this writing could work for a cartoon show for children.
Not worth watching.
The Peripheral (2022)
Confusing, didn't feel engaged at the end of the season
I really like the production and photography. Some characters are quite interesting, specially the police woman later in the series.
But the plot is quite confusing. I love an intriging plot that leaves you scratching your head for a while. But this series has too many unclear things going on and for far too long. It just keeps piling more confusing things, to the point where you stop caring and trying to understand what is going on.
The end of the season is meant to be surprising somehow, but at that point it was all too muddy, so I couldn't care about what happened. I wouldn't mind if there is no season 2.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Missed opportunity
Completely overrated movie, infinity wars was a great and bold movie, it built a lot of expectations on an interesting and smart sequel but End game was quite disappointing, I was really expecting a more interesting movie with some twists, but nothing, it was predictable and bland and it didn't make a lot of sense either.
