Waste of time, no sense from the beginning
1 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I really tried to watch this series but it is so poor written, bad actors and bad stunts. I tried because I love Shetlands and Henshal is shown on Netflix wallpaper but he is the bad guy who happens to be in the same city as the main character, besides being a millionaire? His son is going to the same school? Her daughter Harper is horrible and the little actress can't act. We should at least get something plausible from the plot but nothing works, Erin is forgettable, boring and stupid. So Netflix spent money again getting cheap made series and trying to shove down the customers these stupid plots. Please be more like Apple + and give us series with a little bit more interesting characters.

Wonderful series
25 August 2023
I just finished reading the trilogy and I can tell that the creators up to the final episode of first season, did a great job with the material, i hope they continue to be loyal to thee books and do not try to change it to please the masses. If they keep following the books, I will keep watching. It is an intelligent and amazing story, it shows what people do when power, greed and hubris are part of their world and nothing else matters. The actors are doing a great job with their characters, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Robins, Iain Glen, wow amazing. I'm very glad that they renew it for a second season, it is well deserved.

FOUNDATION IS AMAZING!
25 August 2023
As a huge fan of Isaac Asimov, I would have liked the series anyway, but the creators did an excellent job of bringing it to the screen, costumes, editing, scenery, locations, music but the main thing for me are the actors, what a great ensemble, Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobel and Leah Harvey just to pick my favorites, and Laura Birn, wow, what a wonderful job they did to give life to such difficult characters and they nailed it. I watch and rewatch this show every couple of months and every time I see something I missed on the first viewing, it is great. Apple + has been creating such great shows since the beginning and I hope they continue to their top notch quality to new series.

Invasion (2021–2024)
8/10
Great idea and very interesting characters
25 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I had already watched the first season 2 years ago but I had to re watch it and it seems it got even better now, it is nice to see a series where there is not a lot of shooting and breaking and killing things, it is slow but it needs to be slow so we can see how the main characters react and take us with them to the journey to see Earth being invaded by aliens, I loved each episode where the Humans have their own demons to fight regardless of an Alien Invasion. I think the poor reviews are from people with no understanding of human behaviour or like someone said earlier, low IQ, fewer brain cells to get the concept of the series. Too bad for them! The series is amazing!

The Terminal List (2022– )
2/10
Poor writing...
3 July 2022
The intention is good, the acting is lacking. Chris Pratt can pass by as a comedian sometimes, but in a drama he is horrible. His acting skills need to be polished and a lot. Taylor Kitsch is a much better actor and he should be James Reece. Pratt needs to go to acting school or just stay in the comedy area, maybe. I watch the show and lots of good action, good actors but not Pratt being the main character.

Piece of trash
16 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Oh and here it is, another artsy wanna be movie, this is so stupid, there is no end, the guy kills everybody, there is never an investigation, the reporter is always a drunk of course, I think I saw 300 movies with reporters and all of them are drunks and drug addicts, so the formula is old. The dialog is boring, the acting is passable but unconvincing, and for some reason, directors and writers think that the audience is too stupid for endings, so they get to a point in the movie and just ends it without finishing up the story. Sorry but for me, that is not being artistic, it is being lazy. The girl spends the entire movie trying to prove the guy is a predator and at the end, she kills herself because the guy promised her not to mess with the younger sister and she believes him? In what planet? It is a piece of garbage. Netflix is just getting whatever they can, made cheaply and to fill gaps. Too bad!

Women in their fifties acting up like teenagers.
8 February 2022
Where to start, SJP still can't act even she went to acting school, her screams like an stupid teenager don't work anymore, she is almost 60 now, please have a little composure. The others don't help either, and again they are in their 50's and 60's. The original show had two actors who were good, Kim Cattrall and Willie Garson, Kim was smart enough to say no to this ridiculous attempt to bring it back. The actresses and show runners must be desperate for money. I wish I could give negative stars. SJP should be retiring from the screen and please stop with the giggles.

Euphoria (2019– )
1/10
Pure trash...
8 February 2022
Unfortunately this show is pure trash, everything is so glamourized, all the drugs, drinking and sex. I'm no prude but teenagers are very easy to relate to on screen teenagers (by the way, actors in this show are older), they see High schoolers drinking and taking pills and of they go to do the same. It is a little too much, with so many kids overdosing and committing suicide, shows like this should not be allowed. It is just my opinion.

Reacher (2022– )
10/10
Finally a good Reacher...
5 February 2022
I've been a fan of the novels for years now, I read all of them and I love Jack Reacher. Finally Amazon came to the rescue and did a superb job in hiring an actor who is Reacher. Alan Ritchson is the perfect Jack Reacher from the novels. This is the first book of the series and Nick Santora really understood the character and wrote the series being true to the book. Don't like when some writers feel the need to change the books when adapting to TV (i.e Lucifer, Game of Thrones), this show is very entertaining and well done. I hope Amazon keep doing it until all the books have been adapted for tv. Great job to all involved and kudos to Alan Ritchson for a great delivery of Jack Reacher. Just sit down and enjoy the series.

Ghosts (2021– )
6/10
It is a little funny but not the original UK
18 January 2022
I watched all 3 seasons of the original UK Ghosts and they are hilarious, I love that the people downstairs who died from the plague are the same actors. The American version is funny sometimes and the first few episodes were watchable, then they decided to add the people downstairs, and the actress who plays Nancy is just annoying. The way she talks and moves, it did for me, I stopped watching it. I don't know why they think she is funny. Her screen presence and voice are simply put as forced, annoying and not an inch of talent. So please get rid of her and do as a favor and just leave the cast from upstairs.

Lost in Space (2018–2021)
9/10
Great story, wonderful visual effects!
7 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I just watched all three seasons, it is a nice version of the old Lost in Space, I love the way they changed Dr. Smith to be a woman and the new Robot is great. It is just entertainment, people who are saying that the show has absurdities, well, it is just that. We can't fly to other planets yet and there is no sign of alien races, so just enjoy the show, enjoy the wonderful visual effects, the characters and the story. We always need a bad guy or two in shows to have some cringe effects so we needed Dr. Smith, not all shows can be just happiness and everybody is good, hack, in real life we don't have that. I wish they would have more seasons, with Will, Robot and Dr. Smith traveling to other planets and the Robinsons have to go again to help them, but for some reason Netflix decided to cancel, which enrages me, they keep some idiotic series and cancel good ones. Anyhow, just watch for what it is, good fiction show. I love it.

Tenet (2020)
10/10
This movie will blow your mind, fantastic
2 May 2021
I just saw Tenet on HBO and now I regret I didn't see it on the big screen. This movie is fantastic, the action, the plot and the actors. I love Chris Nolan, he uses his very intelligent mind to come up with some brilliant movies and Tenet doesn't disappoint. All the actors were great and the scenes and visual effects were perfect. I wonder if the people who gave low reviews did that because they lack the brains to understand the movie, I just wonder. I do hope they make another one. Great job Nolan and everybody who worked on this movie, this is a piece of mind blowing script that we need.

Them (2021– )
10/10
Great cast, story and suspense
11 April 2021
I loved this show, all the actors were great and it was done beautifully. I hope they can make more episodes for a second season. Amazon is improving the quality of their shows and Them is one prime series. Please ignore the low reviews, sometimes you just have to judge for yourself. I did and I am so glad, the ten episodes are great in every aspect.

The Twilight Zone (2019–2020)
10/10
Love the new version
29 June 2020
I have all episodes of the old version of this show, and I watch them all the time, but I do love the new ones, new plots, better FXs of course and new discussion points. I hope they continue to write new issues in all the episodes, we need to started to see changes in our way of living, people who gave bad reviews, are the ones who don't like changes, because they have a comfortable life, I'm old and I'm always looking for new things to learn, to do and to live. Good job CBS and great job Jordan Peele.

Extraction (2020)
9/10
Fast action and lots of adrenaline scenes
25 April 2020
I really enjoy the movie, good story, Chris had great moments and he did a good job in every scene. All the other actors were good in their roles and superb stunt scenes. I hope they make another one with Tyler Rake. Netflix please continue bringing us such good movies. It is entertaining from begin to the end.

The Witcher (2019– )
10/10
Great show
21 February 2020
I started reading the books after seeing some previews of the show online. The books are intriguing and I was expecting a so so adaptation for the screen, oh boy I was wrong, the show creators and the actors are awesome, they are doing an incredible job to follow the books and the main actors nailed the characters from the book. I do hope they continue to follow the books and do them justice. I was a big fan of Game of Thrones, up to season 7, then just disappointment, so I hope the show's runners for The Witcher respect the fans a little bit more and give us the stories from the books that give us so much joy. Let's hope for a few seasons of the series. It is brilliant and intelligent, the costumes are great, acting superb.

Hunters (2020–2023)
9/10
fantastic show
21 February 2020
I was very surprised by this show, when I saw the trailer I thought that it would another Nazi theme series, so I was hesitant to start watching it, but after the 1t episode, I wa hooked. The actors are incredible good, Al Pacino deserves all the praises but all the other actors nailed the performances as well. I loved every single episode, even the bad guys are really good. The dialogs are witty and funny when needed or dramatic and intelligent. I hope Amazon continues to bring shows of this level of quality in the future. Congrats to all involved. I can't wait for more.

The Witcher (2019– )
10/10
Amazing cast and a beautiful story.
27 December 2019
I binged watched The Witcher, one whole day in front of my TV and it was worth it. I couldn't stop watching the episodes because I wanted to see what would happen next, I love the actors for their roles and I think they did a superb job. I read two books up to now, and I will continue reading the other six. I'm so glad Netflix already renewed it for another season and I hope they continue for the next few years, when all the books have been made to one season. This is fantasy, this is completely different from GoT, so if you want to watch it, ignore the people with bad reviews, this show is different and awesome.

Bad acting and writing
16 August 2019
The movie is so boring and predictable. The girl who survive at the end should have been killed first and then maybe the movie could survive a little longer than 10 minutes. The acting was horrible, not one actor/actress did a good job, they should go to acting school first.. What a waste of time.

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)
10/10
GREATEST SHOW EVER
16 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I just fell in love with the characters after reading all 5 books of the series. The show is really great and I enjoyed all 7 seasons and now the 8th and final season is ending, I have to say that the 5th episode of Season 8 made me cringe, I have no say, my hope was for Daenarys to get to the Iron Throne and reign for years to come with her dragons, but to write her off as insane like that after 7 seasons of following her good heart, it just made me mad and sad at the same time. The show is incredible but they did a poor job on the penultimate episode, they could have written something much better for our girl and the dragons. Let's hope for a good finale.

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)
10/10
THE BEST SHOW ON TV
18 April 2019
I've been watching GoT now yearly since it starts in 2011, every year I rewatch all episodes available and every time there are new things I missed on the previously viewed episodes. The show is well written, the actors are great, and everything else the crew did was amazing. I read all 5 books after watching the first season, it took me an entire Summer to go through all 5 (around 5000 pages) books, and I can tell that the creators of the show did an amazing job adapting the books to screen. Now, the show is caught up with the books, but I still find the storytelling from the writers of the show, incredibly interesting. I'm really sad that this is the last season, this show is the best show that I've ever watched, I love everything about it. I will continue to watch GoT every year even after the end. Job well done and congratulations to all the men and women who made this show such a success, first class crew and stars.

Too bad there is no zero stars
4 January 2019
What a waste of time, the 4 actresses should keep their day job, the writing is boring and clichéd. There is no good characters and it seems the director had no control over the actresses, very poorly filmed. Sorry for Hulu, they should at least try to keep up with Netflix and get good actors to their shows or movies. It is not worthy.
