Y: The Last Man (2021)
Slow start but intriguing finale
I struggled to get through most of the series. It was pretty lackluster with a whole lot of filler. The finale was actually a surprising change of pace. It takes a total 180 and changes from the slow pace to a rather action packed final hour of the show. The developments in this episode should have happened much earlier in the season though. I also loved the part of the episode with the parallel structure. If the show focused on the "then" and "now" aspect, it would've made the filler episodes easier to get through. I don't really see this as a "woke" show as others are putting it haha I think this is a show with an interesting concept with really poor execution unfortunately. There was clearly a lot of attention, heart and effort put into the last episode that should've been put into the whole series to make it worthwhile. Sigh...
Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List (2015)
Doesn't exactly know what it wants to be
Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List isn't your typical teen drama-comedy, and that's not a good thing. What makes teen dramadies so appealing is that even though they're cliched, they're charming in a cheesy way. Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List does not come across as charming though, it just comes across as confused. It doesn't fall anywhere. I don't really know the target demographic for this movie. The movie talks about sex and mentions d*cks and pretty "adult" things that shouldn't be targeted to preteens and young teens, but it doesn't really seem to be targeted to older teenagers either. I can't see an 18 year old enjoying this film. This movie doesn't know how to correctly illustrate how an 18 year old really acts. These young adults are shown doing pretty adult things like partying and having hookups and what not, but they argue over trivial things and go on and on about fake deep philosophies as they desperately try to seem "woke". I suppose teenagers tend to be fake deep, but a lot of teenagers are also self aware. The two main characters, Naomi especially, aren't. Naomi's character is dreadful. She is arrogant, selfish, and childish. She tries so hard to be "hard" and even though she learns and "grows" (if you can even call what happened growth), she still rubs me the wrong way. Ely's a bit better and has more sense, but he's pretty bland on his own. The ending and the so called "character development" doesn't seem deserved.
