Jeff & Some Aliens (2017)
Why oh why was this gem cancelled.
I am very late to the party in watching Jeff & some aliens, but im glad i found it. What a show. Much like our much loved series Rick and Morty Jeff & some aliens is refreshingly original and outright hilarious. An unequivocably little gem that thoroughly deserved a follow up season.
The show totoally caught me off guard as i was not sure what to expect but boy was i not disapointed.
The basic idea is pretty wild-Jeff, a regular guy, ends up living with three aliens who are here to study humans. Sounds crazy, right? Well, it is, but in the most fun and entertaining way. From the first episode, I was hooked. The way the aliens interact with Jeff and try to understand our world is just hysterical.
All in all, "Jeff & Some Aliens" is a fantastic show if you're looking for something different and genuinely funny. It's a perfect pick for some light-hearted entertainment with a bit of an edge. I ended up binging it and loved every minute. Definitely give it a shot-you won't be disappointed!
Saltburn (2023)
Overhyped and Underwhelming
Saltburn had its moments, but it didn't live up to the hype. The acting was solid, with some standout performances that kept me engaged. However, the storyline fell flat, leaving much to be desired. It felt overhyped, and the disconnect between expectations and reality was noticeable. The film's potential was hindered by confusing plot holes that left me scratching my head, especially the questionable lack of police investigation. While not the worst movie, Saltburn failed to deliver the cinematic punch I was hoping for, leaving me with a lukewarm impression. Overall, it's an average watch that might have been better with a tighter plot and more thoughtful execution.
Severance (2022)
Couch grippingly good!
Severance is a gripping and suspenseful drama series. The show's ability to seamlessly blend genres is exceptional. It is part mystery, part drama, and part science-fiction, and it manages to balance all of these elements perfectly. The storytelling is outstanding, with unexpected plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Overall, I would say it is up there as a must-watch series. With its gripping plot, talented cast, and exceptional storytelling, it really does have you on the edge of you seat. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and suspenseful drama series, "Severance" is it!
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Overly acted. Sensationalised "evidence". Not what I was expecting
"Skinwalker Ranch" is a paranormal reality show that has gained popularity for its sensationalized content. While the concept of investigating mysterious occurrences in Utah's infamous Skinwalker Ranch may sound intriguing, the show falls short in many aspects. The acting is bad, and the attempts at creating suspense often come off as corny. The scientific aspects of the investigations are disappointing, with very little science presented, and much of the evidence presented is circumstantial at best. Overall, while "Skinwalker Ranch" may appeal to die-hard fans of paranormal entertainment, those looking for a serious investigation will likely be disappointed.
Ghost Adventures (2008)
Welcome to the Zak show
Don't get me wrong, the evidence the show captures is pretty intriguing and compelling. But Its just so damn difficult to focus with all the extra damn drama and Zak's over the top antics.
If you make it through one single episode without hearing the infamous "are you serious right now", consider yourself lucky. Hey maybe make a drinking game out of it.
If you make it through an episode without Zak looking like he's trying too hard for a spot in the next Hollywood blockbuster... Consider yourself lucky.
When they do get some good evidence they ruin it by shouting and proclaiming "oh my god, did you guys here that". You'd think after 20 seasons they'd be used to it and be professional. But nope. Amateur hour is here to stay.
And onto my favourite.
"Oh my god did you guys here that.... Shush shush shush". Yep, let's shout loud but tell everyone else who hasn't said a damn word, to be quiet.
"It just got really cold here"
So with my docu series like this a lot of the episode is focused on the history of the place they are visiting. Which is good. Just not 2/3's of an episode good.
When it comes to discussing the history of the location there are interviews with people who have first hand experienc there. This would be great, if not for all the constant interruptions, butting in, and even just completely walking away from them because Zak heard a noise.
All in all. The evidence can be pretty damn good. It's just ruined by over dramatisation. Rather than let the evidence do the talking Zak would rather put on a one man show.
Kim's Convenience (2016)
Fantastic show with nowhere to go
I have just finished binge watching this show on Netflix. Its a great all round comedy series that just doesnt seem to go anywhere. I get that it was cancelled out of the blue but 5 seasons with little to no character progress is really quite infuriating. I was reaching the end of the last season hoping that something would happen to solidify it as one of the great sitcoms it set out to be but neverless was left dissapointed by its inability to get out the shop door.
Dont get me wrong. I love the idea of the show. I love the characters. The acting. The episodes themselves are fun. Theres just little going for it in terms of story.
The Lady of Heaven (2021)
A must see if you stand for free speech
Don't let the 1 stars, or the subsequent UK chain banning of the film stop you from watching this. The arts have a right to expression and express that right this film does.
American Horror Story: Winter Kills (2021)
Wait, that's the endind. I thought there was more
Episodes 1-5 had me hooked. It really felt like AHS was back to how it was and then this. Why, just why. There was so many different ways this could have ended. This just feels, lazy! After this season I think I might be done with AHS for good.
The Flash (2014)
Great for the first 3 seasons, then went stupidly downhill!!
The premise of the show and what it would entail was enough to entice me in and I must admit I really did enjoy it (at first). It was well written and well executed. I especially loved the fact that the original flash plays a part in this reboot. That was until season 4.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 seasons but really struggled to sit through the third but I persevered in the hope it would return to its former self. This unfortunately never happened so alas I gave up on trying to watch it.
Upon watching the recaps of the seasons I had missed I was even more thankful that I didnt waste my time sitting through it as a show.
Gold Rush (2010)
The scripting seriously needs to stop!!
I love this show and have watched every season, always looking forward to the next. But this season is just way to scripted.
Heavy winds with not a single tree swayin.
Clear "acting" by new miners.
It's becoming more cringing to watch than exciting.
Yes, just the mining may not have the drama factor but it does have the realism factor which is what I'd much prefer to sink my time into.
The Simpsons: The Hateful Eight-Year-Olds (2020)
Finally a decent episode
I know it's probably a fluke but hey 1 or 2 out of the last 20 seasons isn't to bad.
Guns Akimbo (2019)
Better than I was expecting.
After reading all the low reviews I went into watching this movie with very low expectations, which I guess probably helped. Seriously though, just grab a few beers, sit back, relax and just let whatever this movie is unfold Infront of your eyes.
It has great action scenes, good humour and actually pretty good acting. No it's not your typical big budget movie but it is over the top bat **** crazy.
So yeah, give it a watch.... form your own opinion, and stick it to the low scorers.
Chernobyl (2019)
Phenomenal show
Fantastic writing and excellent acting. A great retelling of the infamous nuclear plant, complete with all the shock and awe you never knew happened.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
A truly awful ending to a once amazing series
All that build up. All that drama. Character building, story telling, emotions, for what?! To be slapped in the face with a 'finale'.
I can imagine there will be many fans around the globe scratching their heads in unified dissapointment and confusion. I do hope R.R.Martin rewrites it in his own way. Damn I'll even read fan fiction if it means erasing the terribly written episodes called an ending from my mind.
