Warrior Nun (2020)
Lots of Potential, Lots of Disappointment
This show is an enigma to me. The production quality is top notch (i.e., high budget), the acting is solid, and the lead character is incredibly adorable in all respects, but the story moves like an overloaded train up a mountain. So much potential, but very little delivery on the plot. And the ending leaves so many cliffhangers to the point of absurdity... the storyteller can't leave everything unanswered for goodness sake! Be nice to your viewers and give them something after 8 hours please.
The big mystery turned out to be a bit of a dud, and then the bad guy turned out to only be slightly bad and the good guy that we loved turned out to be very bad. So who am I supposed to like? Don't get me wrong, I can watch Alba Baptista all day long... but it would be nice to enjoy her in a rewarding and logically entertaining story at the same time. I will give Season 2 a chance, but I need the writers to step up their game.
Homeland: Long Time Coming (2014)
Painful Episode
Just awful as far as season ending shows go. All character development, no action. Awkward dialogue, pointless plot tangents, and wholly without climax or purpose. This episode belonged in the 3 or 4 spot in the season, not in the end spot. Perhaps the director was trying to scare the viewer into thinking something dramatic was about to happen, but after 4 or 5 instances of action starvation, the story flat-lined and we are left hallow and annoyed. We don't care about Carrie's family, her ugly kid, or her missing mom... what about getting the bad guy? having the good guys win one for God and country? giving purpose to Carrie's existence and tireless pursuit against evil? No, instead let's sit around and eat lasagna. How strange.
Well, I guess we know where Season 5 is going now. Good for Sal I guess, but Carrie is more annoying than ever and extremely unlikable as our protagonist. Perhaps Quinn should assume that role next year. Perhaps the writers will remember that spy shows need some spying.
