Dog (2022)
Well meant but it missed the right focus
Of what I thought was going to be a film where we would see the stress a war dog has to deal with but most of all in which we would get a look into the incredible bond, the love and respect between the dog and the handler, unfortunately it didn't show much of that.
Most of that was actually shown in the war diary in the intro and in the end.
It annoyed me that it took so long for Channing's character, to see that. That moment when it clicked.
I hoped for more recognition of the dog's and his own trauma.
That he would realize that dogs go through the same emotions as we do. And that we should approach them the same way.
And why did he keep calling Lulu "Dog" the whole time? So annoying! He didn't really make an effort to connect with Lulu.
He must have had his reasons..
That's what we don't really get to see.
Missed opportunities if you ask me.
I did like the look on Lulu's face when she looked back at him though and I'm glad the ending made up for it all a little bit after all.
Chicago Fire: What I Saw (2019)
Cliffhanger unanswered 😔
It was late, needed to go to bed but HAD to see what happened to Cruz after that cliffhanger at the end.
I recorded the episodes so started watching ep16 and I see Cruz just wandering about back at the fire department.
How? What happened?
Reading the reviews, I understand now that the answer is in a crossover of Chicago Med. How annoying!!
I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Chicago Med has stopped here and I can't stream it.
So it was very disappointing to not be able to see what happened.
Please don't force us to follow other series we can't watch. We might even stop watching Chicago Fire for that reason as well..
Hudson & Rex: Dog Days Are Over (2022)
Could've been so much better!
When Charlie and Sarah got locked up in a freezer, a while ago, you knew that one day they would fall for each other and have their first kiss. Even though their chemistry wasn't all that, it made you wonder and kind of looking forward to when and how this would happen. It seemed like they were taking their time. For some reason I ended up watching the 1st episode of season 5 before this last episode of season 4. Suddenly they were a couple and I thought; "It already happened, I missed their first kiss!!". So I was looking forward to a romantic episode in which they could finally show what they truly feel for each other. Oh, how disappointing that was... I can't believe the writers completely skipped that moment... From a build up to a complete anti climax. It could've been so much more exciting! What a lost opportunity. The only reason I can think of is that the actors weren't up for it?
His Dark Materials: Lyra and Her Death (2022)
It's getting way too dark
This episode was way too dark for me.
Why is Lyra choosing dead Roger over her daemon Pan? Going through all that trouble for this just doesn't feel right. And it doesn't make sense.
I really loved the beginning of the series with a Lyra you could trust and believe in with an important and good goal. That sympathy is getting less and less.
And it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel.
But now everything has gone quite dark for the last few episodes. And it makes me feel very eerie and disappointed.
I'm hoping it'll get lighter again as now I'm not really looking forward to the next episode... Such a shame...
9-1-1: Lone Star: Shock & Thaw (2022)
Realistic? No. But heartfelt with some humor? YES!
Ok, the snow and cold look quite fake.
But loving Rob Lowe with a beard and big wild hair, behaving like a cowboy! And the cherry on top was him singing with Marjan Marwani in the car! That's quite a bold thing to add to the writing but makes it fun, different and light. High feel good degree!
Amazing Grace: Episode #1.7 (2021)
Lovely and real series with lovely characters but also a very annoying character!
Not everyone's life is perfect and that's why I feel for Grace. She deals with everything in a selfless and courageous way.
Kirk is a bit of a weirdo, I mean; why ignore that you kissed each other after a kiss??
Unfortunately there's also a very annoying and unlikeable character; Sophia. I've never written this before but she annoys the hell out of me. I'd almost stop watching for her. Maybe she's supposed to be that way but I find her whole being just very negative and unpleasant. Glad I don't have to watch her anymore after the last episode.
I will miss Grace, Max and Laney though.
Around the World in 80 Days: Episode #1.7 (2021)
It's a grower
I'm loving the series. After a slow start, it gets better each episode as the friendships tighten and Phileas Fogg becomes more human.
But one thing I just couldn't let go in this episode; Why did the Marshall leave his horse (to die), while it could've accompanied them along with the carriage?? I kept feeling sorry for the horse and rewinded to the moment where it happened, maybe I missed something but no... He left it out there cold blooded.
I don't like plotholes like that. I really don't understand why you would neglect that. As if the audience wouldn't notice...
I did love the Saloon scene with Abigail on the horse though!
