Carol & The End of the World (2023)
how can a show so "boring" (as others have said) be this impactful and profound?
It's a slow building show...you'll need to get to episode 3 or 4 to really start to see the brilliance of it.
Humans are multilayered and complex. We do our best to make our world as simple as possible because sometimes it's difficult to describe the logic behind our actions and behaviors.
This TV show does a wonderful job of getting into the weeds of why Carol is the way she is and why she's feeling the way she feels.
The TV show does a great job of visualizing why you need to "walk a mile in someone else's shoes"
Empathy and Sympathy....we humans need more of it for ourselves and for others
I loved the cliche "artsy" look of the animation, the music, the cheesy reflections and deep soul search. All of the things I make fun of our modern social norms, this show really explains WHY they're needed for a healthy functioning society. Humanity needs to be cliche and cheesy....it's great for fabric of our social connections.
Behind the Attraction (2021)
I've always been Anti-Disney, but I really enjoying this series.
I'm NOT the correct demographics for this type of content (and from the reading the reviews seems like it's not great for hardcore fans either). I've always been anti-Disney. I think the happiest place on earth should be your home. However, I understand that's a privilege that not many have access to. Walt Disney's intention was to create a place for happiness for the masses.
I'm a huge fan of behind the scenes content. 6-7 episodes in, I'm fascinated by the ingenuity and engineering Disney and crew have been able to accomplish through out the years when access to such "tech" was not viable. I learned interesting facts and tidbits about Disney that I would otherwise have not pursued on my own.
Does the series feel like propaganda, YES. Does the series get super deep into the weeds, no, but for someone that isn't super interested in the Disney "world", this series has been great for me. The series has provided me a view into understanding why Disney has such a huge fan base.
Will I become a Disney fan, no. But I can appreciate what it's done for humanity (good or bad).
Firefly Lane (2021)
I'm 40 year old male and I enjoyed this more than I though I would :-O
First two episodes have cheesy moments that's a little hard to get through, but my rule of thumb for any new tv shows is to give it at least 6 episodes before I give up and I'm glad I followed my rule.
The show does a great job of telling a great friendship/sisterhood story between two girls as they go through teens, 20s, 30s and 40s
highschool, college, careers, motherhood, marriage
I enjoyed the realism of the show. I liked seeing how we assume wealthy people are happy when in fact they're not and most likely are broken on the inside. The loneliness, the sad childhood, the disappointing family members, the lies, the fact no one is perfect and that's okay. The feeling of not being "seen", the feeling of being left out, mean girls, loving males, peer pressure.
Like I said, I was totally surprised by how deep and meaningful the show is. Yes, some over acting, yes some cheese and cringe....but isn't that how real life is? Again...no one is perfect....
Depending your life experience and maturity level, you may or may not enjoy the show :)
