Silo (2023)
Can't they build an elevator?
This season it's like a sprinter running a marathon. It starts with an amazing pace hooking you up with mystery and suspense but then it starts to slow down the pace to the point that it gets really boring.
I'm a fan of this genre but I had to drop the series because I lost all the interest.
The world building and premise is great with some steampunk/sci-fi vibes but when the show starts to turn in some detective politic thriller it falls in the goofy category with characters chasing bad people dressed in black that are everything except intimidating.
Set production and VFX are very good.
Good acting
Maybe they will tell later in the story, but I couldn't help myself to ask why they didn't build a rudimentary cargo elevator?
The Playlist (2022)
Confusing on purpose? Why..
New take on a show about a startup with different viewpoints from each department. The show is great as a fictional documentary film, so why try to dress it up as a real event documentary on purpose to confuse the audience?
Especially the last episode feels rushed with a purely madeup ideological agenda but using real names and places. If it was supposed to be a parody based on reality, the intent is not clear at all and there seems to have been some sort of malice in making some kind of (fictional) accusations against Spotify hoping that some part of the public actually thinks it happened or will happen.
Foundation (2021)
Terrible dialogues and pace
I love sci fi, but this is unwatchable, it's so bad that it feels like they cut some parts, the editing and pace are terrible, some dialogues are completely forced and I bet that even the best actor in the world couldn't make it works.
Something like "Hey have you seen that movie yesterday, was cool right? Also I'm pregnant." "wh-what?" next cut we are in another planet with characters never seen doing stuff, but then we quickly jump to another place with other characters doing things we don't care but we supposed to.
Chracters are popping out from nowhere, with no intro or further development, it's a complete confusion where you are not given the time to know anyone, same thing for the locations and events it's always quick cut with no explanation and no in depth knowledge.
A disappointment, because VFX are top quality and the story was interesting to me. Best character/actor is the emperor
but there are too many dialogue moments that are so awkward, cold and completely out of place.
Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
Who gives 1 should be banned from reviews, seriously..
Never played the game and doesn't matter.
As a vfx artist I understand the work and passion that artists put in this gem. Art style, animations, camera movements, score, directing..all is spectacular.
Every frame is a concept art piece and charachters really show personality, emotions. Finally we have well written female characters that aren't force to be liked only because men are bad or because they are invincible. No victimims, no modern politics, just story telling and art in its pure form.
The show really put you in uncomfortable spots toghether with the characters, there is never a clear decision, or path like in real life the challenges are very hard and sometimes sacrifices are inevitable.
Jynx just shine above all, I think she's the best character in enterainment industry of the last two years.
People giving 1 stars should be banned from reviews. Imo it's a 9.5 because maybe the politic parts were hard to follow for someone that doesn't know the LoL world.. but 1 star is an insult to all the people that worked on this masterpiece and we are not talking about a giant studio like Pixar.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
A predictable boring mess
Plenty of Clichés. Slow story and the 2 hours time is filled with uneccessary long sequences that add absolute nothing to characters and storyline. This is unwatchable even for sci-fi lovers. You don't care about characters, there are random flashbacks completely unnecessary. 2 hours badly spent on Christmas day.
The Good Doctor (2017)
First 10 episodes were great then...
The show completely change direction after 10 episodes
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
This doc will make you fall in love with F1
Amazing work by Netflix. Love the editing, the storytelling and i can't even think the hard work they put in this.
You will know the BTS of Formula 1 , what's behind it, the money, the bosses, the fans, the technology, the politics and the drivers.
After this doc you will have at least four favourite drivers that you will cheer at every race just so they can make 1 point.
For All Mankind (2019)
Just too much social justice
Season 1 review: A series about astronauts, space and cold war on the Moon. God yes! At first i had "First Man vibes" But the main plot it's not that, it's about femminism, homosexuals, racism and it's just too much and heavily forced in the plot that it starts to become ridicolous pretty soon.
Every single man in this show came from the worst stereotype you can imagine and women are the ones who saves the day, being always right, never ever miss something, strongest and thoughest than men astronauts with decades of experience more than them. Men are childish, unprofessional, evil, shallow humans that women have to babysitting or save their lives countless times.
I love everything about space, VFX and technical parts are gorgeous, everything is on point except this social justice that we know, it's everywhere, but here really took me out from the show and it was boring as hell.
If it wasn't for that forced social justice that ruined the plot this show could have been an 8/10 easily.
Warrior Nun (2020)
Unclear Target Audience
This show is the result of a discussion between someone who wanted to do a Teenage TV series Netflix-Style and someone who wanted to do a dark gory comic-style action packed tv series.
Well, nobody won the argument and we have a show pulled from one genre to another.
In some scenes i felt some CONSTANTINE vibes
I really hope second season will go to one narrative path, leaving behind all the teenage drama and give us a dark-fantasy gory TV show lead by a strong team of badass women that they are cool because of what they do and not because the writers need to push some political agenda.
