Gisaengchung (2019)
No thanks
Decent acting, not great.
Not suspenseful.
Not thrilling.
Not scary, not even a bit.
Decent overall message.
Parts seemed overly forced.
Too predictable.
Only finished watching hoping it would improve, but it did not.
Would have enjoyed it more had it been 35 minutes long.
2 stars for effort and production.
The high ratings are suspicious and puzzling.
True Detective: The Long Bright Dark (2014)
Excellent
10/10
To keep it short I'll just say no problems, all excellence!
True Detective: The Great War and Modern Memory (2019)
Don't be fooled. Even worse than S2.
Others have commented in more detail.
Acting= bad
Dialogue= bad
Story= no
Entertaining= no
Disappointing waste of time= yes
Watch again= no chance, never.
I wanted to like it and episode 1 got me interested. But the remaining episodes were so terrible I was in disbelief. I'm amazed my wife and I were able to even get through them all. Too bad, because it wasn't even remotely worth the time spent.
Just watch season 1 it's a 10/10.
True Detective (2014)
Watch Season 1, definitely avoid 2 & 3.
Loved the first season. 10/10
Second season just watchable 3/10
Third season just terrible 0/10
If you want something that holds your interest and is also entertaining, skip season 3 entirely. Don't even waste your time watching beyond the first episode. The first episode got me interested but the rest of season 3 = Dark, moody, mumbling, and stagnant, and utterly boring.
Watch season #1, enjoy, and move along. Watching a fly take a nap might be as entertaining. HBO, what went wrong?!
