Holy Family (2022–2023)
5/10
Ubnormal situations
27 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The series started quite interesting. At the first season at least there was a story you could watch and some specific characters. The second season is like the writer was bored and wrote whatever was coming up in his mind just to finish the season. No logical actions you can see there.

Why the real mother's family didn't call the police? Why didn't they just take the baby? Everyone knew who were the bad ones. They knew where to find it. How funny was the way the daughter throw her 100 kilos father from the balkony with on hand? And why? When did Gloria started having guilts? It's not of her character to comitt a suiside."Katerina" decided to take little Anna away from her mother and give her to the neighboorgs but then she was mad that they kept the baby. And then started helping Gloria..why? When did they come so friends? The only realistic character was thw teacher. The good about it is that it has a lot of action and you are not borred.

Not bad but..
8 October 2023
The show has for sure a quality. Some stories are ok. But I wouldn't imagine that the same team made the Law and Order /Law and order svu also made crimimal intent. Lot of the stories are really really boring as you can see who did what from the beginning. There is never a plot twist or something really unpredictable. The character of Bobby is absolutelly non realistic. Being smart doesn't mean you just know anything about every little thing on planet Earth. Also in all couples of detectives (with Chris Noth episodes also) man detective is the smart one and woman detective is doing almost nothing or the paper work. If the show is about one man intelligence,there would be better to be just one main character. Most of the stories are solved without any proof. Just because the detective understood what happened. I also miss the court battles that are really interesting in other law and order series.

Welcome to Eden (2022–2023)
3/10
Sooo boring
8 May 2023
It's the first time i rate a show whithout finishing it. I have watched 5 episodes and i just can't go on. At first there at least 5 or 6 male characters that have the exact same look,hair,eyes,voice..Really..who made the oditions and thought it was a great idea? Then, the concept is quite good (we have seen it a lot of times of course) but the story is sooo slow. It is not even predictable,because something most interesting would happen if so. Things happen but the caracters don't ever ask the simple question that everyone would ask. The behaviors are really stupid and the situations not believable at all. Very bad and boring.

Great movie!
16 August 2022
This is an excellent film with amazing dialogues & perfectly directed. One of the most beautiful & emotional films ever made. Acting is great as well. It really touches you. It's one of a kind. I really can't compare this film with any other.

Liar (2020)
6/10
Had more expectations at first
7 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Very interesting up to a point. Very predictable in the end. Three comments: 1. The main reason we initially had some doubts about whether the woman protagonist is telling the truth, is that she had accused another man in the past for the same crime. But then,there were no other information about that,till the end. Assuming this was also true,this is an extremely rare coincidence. In the first case she withdrew the lawsuit. Why? It was a very important fact that we should know more about.

2. Not showing exactly what happened in the end,but staying in the viewer's imagination,has become commonplace and boring.

3. Sister's affair with the ex husband,was just there for more drama but didn't help the plot.

The series had all the features to be perfect but unfortunately they did not get there.

Squid Game (2021– )
7/10
Very interesting but weak ending
25 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It is the first Korean TV series I watched. I found it very interesting, with fast action. It also gives you food for thought. Unlike series of similar cases, it has the main difference that the players are there voluntarily. This creates different dynamics and plot. Watching the first 6 episodes I was excited. From the 7th episode until the end, there was no surprise and everything was predictable.

The explanation of why all this happened,was just what was expected. The story with the policeman and his brother, did not finally seem to have special meaning. The "plot twist" with the old man, was not a plot twist at all, if you have watched "Saw' 1 & 2 and many of the thrillers that followed it. Perfect up to a point, but without a climax. This could have been a 10 but..
