Narcos (2015)
Starts of good ends up being a propaganda piece.
This show starts of really well, directing is great, acting is great. No complaints at first, in fact I was thinking a 10 out of 10, that's how pleasantly surprised I was. I must say it sucked me in and I got hooked before I knew what the goal of the show was. And there is is a goal and its not a good one. Unfortunately this show is a (as we have learned before) a perfectly designed propaganda piece trying to push a agenda (for you guessed it who). I would not necessarily have a problem with this if it was honest right from the get go but it was not. It ends up being a anti socialist, anti communist, anti youth, anti everything progressive piece that in my opinion tries to excuse the atrocities of the US government in South America instead of explain them (if possible). And that for me unfortunately is in excusable and reminds me of once again Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper, etc. Its a dangerous slippery slope this series continues to take us down and as such I can not in my right heart recommend it.
The 100 (2014)
Narcissistic, selfish, calculative and unlikable main characters
The show really is brainless in the sense that the characters exhibit all the negative teenager traits. I actually was starting to enjoy the show but as the episodes kept coming and characters kept developing I begun to realize that none of them were likable. For me this ruins the show since it's all about the characters and politics. The least likable for me is the main character Clarke, every time she opens her mouth I just want to cringe. A narcissistic selfish calculative character, yet they try to sell her as a leader and hero. I think the concept of the show is good, but the me against the world selfish narcissistic characters they develop are stress inducing to watch.

Background movie
If you want a movie to play in the background while you do something else (talk, play games, knit, etc.), and look up every minute or two, then this is a good movie. So by no means a horrible movie, just don't expect it to grab 100% of your attention from start to end.
The movie hints at so much more, but it just seems to never really go anywhere, it just kind of flows with surprisingly few ups and downs, no real surprises, nothing overly crazy. The first 10 min of the movie by no means hints at what the rest of the movie will be like. The movie does have a positive vibe if that is what you are looking for...background movie.
