I Am Georgina (2022)
for those days, when your brain cells are overstrained"
I enjoyed it more than I expected lol. After a long day's work, studying and trying to understand and memorize complex concepts, watching this was like a relaxation therapy for the brain.it was so superficial and repetitive that my neurons could dive straight into the safe mode. Nothing to analyze, nothing to wonder about, just a mostly pretty picture mixed up with some bad taste. And besides, it's funny how she tries to convince us with a serious face about her" achievements." and her "generosity" by giving away someone else's money She had better check the dictionary lol It's so absurd it was straight up hilarious.
I saved all the episodes specially for those days, when my brain was already "pre-fried"
I must confess, I watched it in the first place out of pure disbelief. I haven't read anything about her before , but I knew she was a nobody, and suddenly there is a dedicated Netflix series. Maybe soon there will be one about the lady at the bakery next door, who knows these days, right?
Skjelvet (2018)
A big disappointment after Bolgen
Yes it was slow and it focused on slow emotions rather that on the disaster itself.
The things that bother me the most are: teh fact that nobody takes Christian seriously because after surviving a natural disaster in Bolgen he is depressed, his wife sort of takes him back because during their last conversation he admitted he might just be seing disasters everywhere he goes so she decided that since he considers that he might be wrong he was feeling better (interestingly enough he was just doing his job).
The elevator scenes were annoyingly slow and boring and they seemed way too calm for someone beeing trapped in a falling building in a hurry to save their daughter.
But I guess what bothered me the most was the fact that they make us believe that they were rescued from the 32 floor of an about-to-crumble building when the whole city was destroyed and no emergency services could get through. Was by helicopter, if so, how safe was it to get close to a building that was hanging by a thread?
They just decided to cut it short, once all of them stopped falling out of the building they felt safe and logically waited to be rescued. Because all of the heavily damaged buidings with hanging parts just stay the same until help comes.
I feel that the story had so much potential but it was stupidly wasted on uninteresting details and actions.
