Vinland Saga (2019)
Skip season 2
First season was okay. Was hoping to see some spiritual redemption in season 2. Instead S2 is just so boring. Complete 180 from the first season. 2/3 of the way through I just stopped caring. Nothing happens. Once they start going into flashbacks of the woman slave, I literally could not care less. I don't understand why a show with non-stop action in season 1 turns into an historical period drama in season 2.
Also there was a lot of anti-Christian moment in season 1. Then Thorfin begins to show interest in Christianity in season 2. But I don't think the showrunners understood Christianity, and it falls flat. Show sucks. 2 stars for good animation.
Black Mirror: Beyond the Sea (2023)
Make more than 1 replica
First of all, send the replicas to space. Send more than one. Send three. Send ten. In fact, just send robots and don't worry about making them look like humans at all.
As for this episode as a whole: it was okay. The ending really sucked. The writing started strong, then it lost its legs toward the middle. The acting was really good in this one, but the story meanders and is really so predictable. Aaron Paul did fantastic acting in this, but I think he was wasted on poor writing. Josh Hartnett... eh, who cares. And why just two people? The mission they're on seems more suited for a larger crew. And why... the most glaring question... WHY don't they just send the replicas into space?.... Like literally WHY?
"Oh but if the replicas break then the mission will end"
DUDE send multiple replicas then.
I understand this is necessary for the story to exist, but such stupid plot problems suspend belief.
Black Mirror sucks now. We can't have anything nice.
Black Mirror: Mazey Day (2023)
Literally wut
Dude this episode and season is so bad it's getting to the point of absurdity.
So this is a horror, it has literally nothing to do with technology other than the fact that the main character is paparazzi. I mean this defeats the purpose of being Black Mirror.
I understand if the lead writer wanted to make another anthology series, with a different angle, maybe explore some different genres... but why is this shoved into Black Mirror?...?
This story also takes SO LONG to get to the point.
And someone has to say it... when did Hollywood stop casting good looking women? The lead in this role is the least photogenic actress I've ever seen. It's distracting. I'm sorry to say it, but this is the second episode in this season to cast an objectively ugly woman, and I think it's because the L. A. blue-hair geniuses that are in charge of these shows hate beautiful women. Just like groups of women all want to go out with the fat chick because it makes them look hot by comparison, these liberal galaxy-brains cast the ugliest women to lead because it makes them feel more secure about themselves.
It's degenerate and Black Mirror is absolute trash now. This has to be one of the worst falls from grace in TV history. This is worst than GoT season 8. This is worst than The Last Jedi. This may be the most embarrassing thing ever released for TV.
Black Mirror: Joan Is Awful (2023)
Revelation of the method.
Did an AI actually write this?
This is something called "revelation of the method". That's when elitists reveal the methods they use to control society, because they believe it gives them spiritual power to just tell you what they're doing to your face, while you're too stupid to realize it. They dangle what they're really doing in front of you, and get off on you being so zoned-out that you don't even realize they're telling you everything about their true nature and intentions.
Netflix has obviously been using algorithms to guide their creative teams. That's why we see all the diversity-quota programming. They buy people's stories/ideas, and then butcher it with ad-lib style diversity insertion. That's why for years everything that has come out of Netflix has no soul, no creativity, no aesthetics.
It's all created by AI. Literally, they have supercomputers telling them what they need to produce, and how much of it to produce, in order to steer society.
It's all grey, monotone, and flat... kind of like a machine. There's no finesse, no creative freedom in what they put out.
This episode of Black Mirror is literally just them telling you what they'll do to you in the future, and are working toward doing to you right now. They already collect all your data and tweak the programming you go for. You like sci-fi? Well here's your sci-fi, except we've made some diverse adjustments that you'll just have to stomach because it's a brave new world, and you better get with the program, slave. I hope you enjoy your nature documentary, or your psychological thriller, because we've found a way to alter your mind to absorb our messaging in every genre and option you could ever click on.
Lol Netflix is an absolute joke, and this episode of Black Mirror is just more the same blank drab that they're only capable of. Their best, is the worst.
Black Mirror: Loch Henry (2023)
Why is this a Black Mirror episode?
Let's get the lead actress' eyebrows out of the way: what is with her eyebrows??? Also did they hire this diversity actress just so they could write in a bit of racism in the beginning? Racism which had nothing to do with the plot and was literally just "wypepo bad"?
ANYWAY... why tf is this a Black Mirror episode? Black Mirror has always been about stories based around technology, be it dystopian, near future, or other genres with a focus on technology in some way. The "black mirror" is the screen of our electronic devices. I'm assuming they thought they could offload this one into the series because it is about filming...? But the filming being done is with a VHS (for some reason even the new film footage for the documentary is being shot in VHS).
Also, miss me with all of these Netflix self-inserts. Wow, SO META, *clap clap clap* WHOA DUDE LIKE THEY'RE REFERRING TO NETFLIX, BUT THIS IS A NETFLIX SHOW, WOW SO CLEVER, MIND BLOWN
Also this writing is just sort of meh. Nothing very striking about the story at all. Lol this series has sincerely lost the plot. Netflix is an absolute disaster. This episode should make them feel ashamed, but I'm sure they all patted themselves on the back and huffed their own farts.
Hijack (2023)
SKIP THIS MISS FROM APPLE
This mini-series will have you facepalming the whole time. It's a fine premise, and the acting is good for the most part, with the glaring exception of Amanda at the end. But there are SO MANY things that happen that completely take you out of the story with how ridiculously impossible they are. And I understand shows need drama and tension building elements, but the writing in this just doesn't even try. Mostly everything on the plane is good, but when you get into anything else happening on the ground, all of it is just utterly asinine. If this script had been more polished in the ATC/military/government details, it could have been a banger. But alas, Apple thinks you're too stupid to handle something with a dose of reality, and instead you'll just roll over and choke down this braindead slop.
This is such a low IQ series, completely unsatisfying, and so disjointed from set to set.
SKIP THIS MISS FROM APPLE.
Black Monday (2019)
2nd and 3rd season SUCK
The first season is so good. It's not only hilarious, but beautifully shot, as well as incredible sets and visual fx.
The second season is so convoluted; a horrible departure from the formula of the show. It seems like this show actually could have very happily ended at the end of season 1 as a mini-series. Instead they tried to squeeze out a labored abomination of a sequel. Something that remains good is the cinematography and the acting, but the writing is just shamefully bad.
Part of what made this show so good was it took shots at everyone, and didn't pull any punches in any direction. The second and third season is just Hollywood liberal BS. The eternal curse of liberals is their lack of self-awareness. The resulting second and third season are utter cringe, and wholly unfunny. (The second season had one hilarious scene: the dinner with the FBI chick).
The third season is one of the worst seasons of television I've ever seen. Literally not one joke lands. I made it through episode 5 and felt like I was watching a different show entirely, a much worse one than it had already become.
Lol what an absolute embarrassment, what an abysmal failure. 5/10 for the first season. Without the first season it's 1/10 no cap.
The Wilds (2020)
Made it to episode 6 so you don't have to
Ironically, in episode 1 or 2 Dot explains how she watches all the survival shows, and lists irl shows (i.e. 'Alone'), all of which I'm a fan of. That's why I tried this show, because I thought it was a core survival show...
In reality it's 1/3 a survival show, and 1/3 a show about modern teenage girls in America. Focusing on the backstory of each girl stranded on an island in the Pacific. But, and here's the worst part of the plot, the remaining 1/3 is some sort of psychological operation being run on them on the island.
Credit where credit is due: the acting from each main actress is actually pretty good. Each character is fleshed out and has a story, and the actresses seem well cast for each character. And I'm not just throwing out platitudes so I don't sound mean, it's genuinely the case that the actresses are very talented and well cast.
But this show has two major flaws.
1. These characters are horrible role models. I understand the "realistic" approach when showing each of their stories, but it feels more of a glorification of their rebellion, and empathy toward their toxic galavanting through life, excusing their mistakes instead of watching them grow from them. These are very real-feeling characters, but there's not much wisdom in their development. They grow together as friends and learn to look past and even embrace one another's flaws. But as to their problems from back home, it's really just wallowing in the misery of growing up, and not admitting their own faults of immaturity, to work through them/ move past them.
2. What is with the weird psychological experiment they're a part of? That aspect makes other weird things in the show feel even weirder. Like how the one chick has sex with the older guy and lies about her age. There's a sex scene between them, and at that point you're under the impression she's 18. But then later find out she's only 16 in that scene (with some dude who's like 30). Once that info is revealed it makes you think back to the sex scene and realize that's really weird they basically imitated pedophilic sex on camera. I understand that whole dynamic is the point of that storyline: but why the sex scene? They could have implied all of that without the graphic depiction. So you have these girls that are each psychologically tortured in ways that are, yes, technically realistic, mixed in with a plot line where they're all victims of a CIA-esque psychological operation. It's one thing to have a realistic depiction of tribulations of teenage girls, and a whole other thing entirely to have girls chosen for experimentation based off of their psychological states caused by those tribulations. If you know much about the history of psychological programming, it's impossible to ignore the crossed wires in this show. The calculus of this all makes for an unsettling result.
Now I'll admit, I'm not the demographic that this show was written for. This show is obviously written for young women, and zoomer women, neither of which I am. But nonetheless it's so tiring to see underage female promiscuity glorified by Hollywood. I mean why is Hollywood so concerned with teenagers having sex outside of marriage? What is it about Hollywood... HMMM, really makes ya think.
I'll give the writers credit, they at least incorporated a Christian character to balance out the entire lack of any spiritual beliefs in any of the other characters. But I notice Hollywood never portrays any other religion in the eternal conservative 'intolerant' character. Not a very high-level critique from this lot of writers, just the same basic Christian straw-men to attack. A basic misunderstanding of the role of spirituality in human lives muddies this script, which keeps everything at a base level, not able to get out of its own way to allow for genuine depth to be mined out of the main characters.
So in conclusion, this show's best quality is the stuff that happens on the island. All of that stuff is actually good. But with that only being 1/3 of the show, it's a 3/10, with a star added for good acting by the main cast of girls, coming to 4/10. I just couldn't maintain interest with all of the auxiliary filler and basic spiritual disfunction.
Bosch: Legacy (2022)
So glad Bosch is back
Bosch is one of the best shows running. I'm so happy it got picked up for more seasons. This really is such a rich universe, and the writers are masterful at keeping the old sleuth busy. It was really nice to see some cameos from the original cast, I have to imagine this was a great production to be a part of throughout. I hope they keep making seasons until I die (I'm 33).
I think the move into Bosch's career as a private detective was masterful and makes so much sense for him as a character.
This show is the best detective show of all time. I have no idea what 'freevee' is but they made a great move picking up the distribution for this show.
Day Shift (2022)
A rare 1/10, just don't even start it.
How much did they have to pay Jamie Foxx to do this movie. That Netflix money really talks. This is movie is utter trash. The plot is terrible, and makes no sense. The Franco brother's acting is so grating, and the way he strains his voice to sound anxious is unbearable. This movie has no redeeming qualities, given that even the action is low-stakes: every vampire is easily dispatched, and even the big chase scene is just the bad guys taking themselves out. This movie was clearly written to have a lot of comedic relief, but absolutely none of it lands. Not even the campy parts are any fun. Like when Snoop says "West Side for life" right before he blows himself up, it was so stupid. A rare 1/10.
Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey (2022)
The Reality of Evil
The rate at which things escalated in this saga is unbelievable. The sheer scale of the evil is almost impossible to imagine.
The false prophets of our age are run by demons that have been doing this type of stuff since close to the beginning of time. This is exactly why the truth of God's love is not to be hidden away in the shadows. The sign of a false prophet or false teaching is secrecy. Christ manifested as a man to create a path for us to receive the enlightenment of God freely. God doesn't live in secret handshakes, secret rituals, secret practices, etc. Only evil grows inside of secret rites: as seen here in this documentary series. Look what isolation and secrecy has done to these people.
God is not just a show, then something else behind closed doors. That's what the masters of illusion do, the false gods, the magicians imitating miracles. The Most High God is constant, unwaveringly consistent. God isn't secret underwear and secret temple rites. Those secrets only create a space for evil to grow. It's in those secret societies that evil flourishes, and can grow into the most extreme sin there is: r*ping children. And isn't that where secret societies seem to always lead?
Heed the horrors you see in this series, and don't miss the rate at which things escalated. Horrors like this can lie in wait for a long time. Evil is nothing if not patient, and it can fester for generations in order to ensnare the largest number of people in its machinations. The FLDS are literally living proof of this. Take stock of your own life and practices, and make sure you never engage in secret societies at any level in your life, because that is where Hell on Earth hides. This series is a heartbreaking reminder of the reality of that big evil.
I'm grateful for these filmmakers and the crew that helped put this exposé together. Godbless.
Kanata no Astra (2019)
Amazing premise bogged down by poor writing
Anyone will notice the animation and sci-fi elements of this show are top notch. The problem is that the show focuses heavily on a very plain dynamic, which is all of the characters growing as friends. They came up with so much creativity for the environment, then squander it all by zooming in on each character's past on Earth. The character development is genuinely very boring, and in that it's wholly unapproachable. I tried to stick around for the sci-fi adventure elements, because that stuff in this show is SO good... but I had to pull the escape hatch after episode 3 because the writing was so painfully plain and tedious. Truly disappointing.
Easter Holocaust (2020)
Trying to be so bad, it's funny, but it's just actually bad
First of all: 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Next, this is one of those movies that's trying to ape the style of movies that were so bad they ended up being funny (i.e. Troll 2, etc), but it fails, and ends up just being plain bad. Many such cases smdh.
When the writer/director is not behind the camera (he plays two characters) the camerawork is actually okay.
The painfully-intentional comedy of this entire project is not funny on any level.
Also why is it a holocaust? Is it because this movie is worst than the actual holocaust?
With all the subplots, this film doesn't actually attempt to be a horror as much as it is a vehicle for all of the director's untalented friends to pat each other one the back.
Just eliminate all the dumb subplots, and focus on one line of story, and make an actual horror. But that would take talent, which is exactly why this movie doesn't even try, because the writer/director can't cut it for real. Pardon the pun: he didn't cut a single scene out of this movie.
I don't even care to commend the good acting performances in this "movie". I hope none of them got paid, and that viewing the final product of this monstrosity makes them never talk to the director ever again.
If you want to hate the creator of this movie, just watch the movie. Other than that, pick the movie listed to the left or right of this one on the listing page you're looking at it on.
The Adam Project (2022)
Surprisingly good
Was a 7/10, deducted 1 point for casting Mark Ruffalo. It was a fun sci-fi, and actually pretty funny. The kid does a good job do a Ryan Reynolds impression.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
The show already ended perfectly
Although it was great seeing Hall play a perfect performance as Dexter again, the rest of this show falls very flat. The supporting characters are portrayed by terrible actors with the exception of the main villain and Harrison. The plot isn't terrible, but it feels kind of rushed. Not to mention there's definitely something lost without the setting of Miami.
Also it felt like the ending sequence didn't match up to how Dexter would have handled this whole situation.
This series just didn't deliver enough to end so abruptly. I think it was a horrible mistake to kill Dexter at the end of this, I feel like they could have made more seasons with how they'd set up Harrison's character. Pretty disappointing, and to see such a loved character killed of in a reboot, just makes this whole season feel like it doesn't exist, and the show still ended back in 2013.
Music Box: Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage (2021)
Crying about white people
This entire documentary, without exaggeration, is a way of saying how dangerous young white men are. Basically Woodstock '99 was a disaster because young white men wanted to be angry.
I'm not even joking, this is a whole movie about how dangerous it is for white peoples to gather together lmaoo
This is just common racism that passes as commentary in our new normal.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Forced myself to watch all 10 episodes
The saddest part of this series is that first episode is so great. Then the second episode happened... this series somehow gets worse and worse until it ends. By the third episode I was hate-watching it, just to see how badly they messed up the whole thing. It seems like they had a completely different script for a show, and inserted the Cowboy Bebop characters into it. I'm not an insane person who believes every live-action adaptation of anime had to be a shot for shot remake, or even retain all the same characteristics: but this show is just bad on its face. The actress who plays Faye cannot act, plain and simple, and she was written to have the comedic prowess of a middle school girl. Her one-liners fare so cringe and poorly delivered, it literally makes you smack your head. And there is a glaring lack of chemistry between the lead actors. Also Julia's wig is distracting and obviously a wig. While the small amount of computer graphics looked great in this show, they did not do a good job on the sets or the backgrounds. But the number one sin for this show is the script. I don't understand how production teams can read these scripts and think it sounds good. Maybe get some people on your team that will say "no" to you. Such a dumpster fire of a show. The only good things were basically all of episode 1, the computer graphics looked very good, and I laughed exactly twice. Also the portrayal of Vicious was genuinely very good, not accurate to the anime, but good in its own right by whoever the actor was who played him.
Seungriho (2021)
Star Wars move over
Finally an original sci-fi epic for our generation. This movie is absolutely beautiful, packed full of insane action, amazing sets and visuals, and complex characters you root for. I personally had no idea this was an insanely high budget film until I watched it. This is an epic space adventure film, beset in a "hard" sci-fi world.
Netflix is terrible, but you can tell they didn't get their woke hands all over this project like so many others. A breath a fresh air to have such an original and fun story. It pushes a little bit of a climate change agenda here and there, which is just about par for the course in this genre, but for the most part the world itself is just a setup for the story of the space sweepers, and the film is driven by the characters and action vs politics.
Absolutely give this one a watch.
Patriot (2015)
Perfectly crafted pressure cooker
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature will binge this hidden-gem. It takes an episode or two to get your bearings in this story, but once it hooks you, get ready for a wild ride full of action, the darkest comedy, beautiful cinematography, and A+ acting/characters all around.
Patriot builds psychological pressure until you're ready to burst, as all episodes and both seasons flow seamlessly, turning up the pressure bit by bit. As you become more invested, the comedy payoffs will have your sides in orbit. Best of all, you can't stop watching, and it keeps you guessing until the very end.
This is a rare and true 10/10 show: the acting, the action, the characters, the writing, the plot, the comedy, the music, the cinematography, the directing, the sets/locations.... The entire show is absolutely one of the best hidden gems in the history of film, a genuinely unique work of art so rarely experienced.
Salvation (2017)
Predictive programming. Full breakdown. Hello CIA.
Okay so let's consider a few things from this show: a president with cognitive decline, overthrown by an "inner circle" who is "pulling the strings" operating above the government, and replaced by the Vice President who is in on it all. And they use Twitter to form a coup. Programming messaging gets its wires crossed, but the overtones are hard to miss.
The VP is then going to explode an asteroid so that the fragments destroy Russia. Also the big asteroid that exploded over Russia irl, in the show it was the US that weaponized an asteroid and purposefully hit Russia with it. Just like a Rod From God weapon.
The secret evil org is called "Q-17". Q? Really?
There's a secret hacker collective called "Resist" (except it's spelled weird). #resist in real life is associated with domestic terrorists and communists who want to destroy freedom and instal a communist regime. But in the show Resist hijacks nukes and uses the threat of destruction to force the scientists of the world to work together. Just total scientism communist nonsense.
Also the US gov't is operating perfectly throughout the entire crisis. Like even throug the coup attempt and everything, it's really just people with our best interests in mind that win because the constitution and twitter I guess. LMAO yeah right! It's hardly operating now after the flu! In these shows we're always supposed to believe the government is just this perfectly tuned entity, an authoritarian nirvana in which the bureaucracy dances in perfect synchronization, sitting atop reality like the key that winds the clock of humanity with perfectly exerted force and motion. Lol these shows really want us to believe in a weird godlike government for some reason... and "science".
I understand this show was cancelled, but allowed an extra episode to wrap up the series, which I genuinely do appreciate. But the asteroid is shown earlier in the show, and it looks like a giant space rock. Then at the end of the show is a perfectly spherical alien spaceship, or... some sort of intergalactic demiurge alien god creature situation? Also it didn't look very welcoming, maybe they would have been better off trying to nuke it? I mean this twist would make sense if it came much earlier in the show's life and then became the subject of the show itself, but that would really just be an entirely different series altogether, whereas this series worked for what it was, but was ultimately nuked at literally the last second. No pun intended.
My score of 6/10 is based off of good screenwriting, the tension definitely carries through each episode and it doesn't spend too much time getting lost in side characters. The actors do have great chemistry, and most do a solid job selling the story. This show was a solid sci-fi thriller, and a person who doesn't notice so much will probably enjoy it a lot more than I did. But I'll be honest, although I facepalmed several times, I liked it. And plus, now I trust the government completely without any reservations whatsoever.
Wander (2020)
Beautifully shot/written/acted Noir-thriller.
First off, I'm not sure why it began with some weird virtue signaling message on screen about remembering victims of the fight for the borders of indigenous peoples or whatever it said, because that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie. I guess they had to put that in exchange for filming on Reservation land??
ANYWAY...
This is the type of movie that goes over people's heads. I guess because this isn't the latest Marvel action vehicle people didn't like it. God forbid you have to actually engage with a story and challenge yourself. So many reviews are how people didn't get it? Lol it's all clearly explained and laid out for you completely by the end, there is absolutely nothing to not get, it's entirely unambiguous lol. Maybe this movie marketed to the wrong crowd? Now that it's found a home on streaming I'm sure the reviews will go up.
The very first scene is very confusing, but you can tell the camerawork is good, and then the introductory scene to the main characters lets you know this is going to be a beautiful looking film, which it is. Beautiful directing and cinematography along with an amazing performance by Eckhart keeps you glued to the screen until the very end. Eckhart's performance mixed with brilliant editing really makes you almost feel crazy, and that's such a hard effect to pull off. Really well done in that regard. And all of it is boosted by incredible supporting acts by Jones and Grahm.
The story is complex and definitely aimed at people who already are in the research community. It's annoying how hollywood always has to portray conspiracy theorists either complete lunatics or morons, but this movie manages to actually pull it off tastefully, and delivers on justified paranoia.
Monster Hunter (2020)
Highly underrated action adventure film
Start off with the bad, Ron "I Pooped On My Own Hands, Lil Donnie" Pearlman calls it in during the entire movie, but luckily he's a minor character that's in this very little.
That's it, that's the only bad.
This is non-stop action from beginning to end. Each scene is an action scene with the exception of a very brief character building montage in the middle. The film as a whole is a little campy, but it has a character in the way it executes its campiness. Thr writers didn't focus too much on complex characters all around, which is perfect because this is an action vehicle to watch a couple of humans battle ridiculously big and seemingly unbeatable monsters. Really no need for compelling characters.
The monster fx are awesome, and there's a good plot structure.
Hopefully we'll get a sequel someday even though the coof prevented this from really claiming any financial success.
Vikings (2013)
After S4E15 - whats the point in continuing?
As most people will see in other reviews, seasons 1-3 are considered the defining seasons of this show, because of Ragnar. I'm watching on Amazon right now, and Just saw Ragnar's death. What the hell is the point of the show without his presence? As I was watching him die, I was already thinking, how is there 2 more seasons? It was pretty much expected that he would eventually die, but it's almost a given that his death would be at the end of the series...
I have not seen such a poor writing choice in a long time. Without exaggeration, this may be one of the all time worst writing choices out of any TV show ever. I have been binging this show, but with Ragnar dead, I literally have no desire to finish the series. There was already some poor writing choices involving everything happening with Ecbert and his people during season 4 (pointless filler), but after there's no more Ragnar, I don't care what happens to anyone else. Lol no one else has been developed enough to carry the story. What a stupid stupid decision it was to kill him. They neutered their entire series!
Absolute madness.
Ava (2020)
Complete garbage, no redeeming qualities
This movie is basically a spy movie for wine aunts. There is so much auxiliary drama focused on in a film that is supposed to be a spy thriller. While some good actors are in this, Common is not one of them, his terrible acting is distracting. Jessica Chas-whatever cannot run lol, we're supposed to believe she is some sort of super assassin and she looks like a goof, also her acting isn't very good in this, and she is wholly unconvincing of the role.
The script is absolute garbage, this is like some low energy female version of John Wick, except never comes close to hitting a good pace, pausing most of the movie to focus on dumb family drama. it really is very poor writing. Terrible fight choreography as well. literally fails at every single stroke it takes.
The Aeronauts (2019)
More profound than it had any right to be
Honestly this movie actually had a very deep and positive message. The action was good, and it was a nice little historical piece. Felicity jones completely outacted her counterpart though, he left much more to be desired. But it was an absolutely beautiful film, and it had a very positive message which was refreshing tbh.
