Fugueuse (2018)
We already know how naive and green eyed teens are
This is a result of not listening to parents and thinking you know it all. You want to date a rapper for millionaire lifestyle. Not knowing youll be passed around and treated like meat.
The show was very uncensored and not for kids. Portraying rape, abuse and sex. Its sad to see but this happens and many women have been sold into adult entertainment and adult work. Just because they want to be independent. You should leave your parents house when youre an adult and get married. Old traditions die hard but so do its victims. Unfortunately this show is more for TV acting was okay but areas are not gritty enough to fit its dark portrayal.
What makes this worse is i knew someone like this, I never talk about it to anyone. Fast money comes with slow permanent problems!
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
Poor technically, lacking details or F1 know how
Ive been watching F1 Drive to Survive series. If you wanted to learn anything about F1, its history or get any technical nouse. This is a waste of time. Cookie cutter youtube type clips and dramatisation. Lost opportunity i think. I started on season 6. I have seen some bits from season 1. Seems to focus on the drivers, teams etc only on a surface level.
There is no debt, technical side or know how. Its a missed opportunity to bring geeky, technical people to the audience. Youll get a couple of new fans who could care less about any numbers relating to F1. Theres a big crowd that would like to know more like why one car is slower than the other, why one driver lacks certain skills or what areas need improvement. We rarely get to hear about drag coefficients, weight of the car. That FiA governs strictly the way the cars are designed and built.
We dont learn nothing about F1 and its a great shame and missed opportunity. Im loosely interested but will not watch it. This is due to it not being a pure racing sport but a team racing sport. Which in effect affects drivers behaviour and makes me think politics and silly rules ruin the spirit of F1. Also the newer F1 cars sound rubbish to meet emissions standards.
I respect the sport but not for me. Its not part of my conversations with people. Also look who has access to it. Top 1% exclusively. People dont seem to see anything wrong with this. But the layman props up an industry their kids wont have a chance to get into without money or real connections.
Wrestlers (2023)
A good look into the Wrestling Business!
Great insight, ive always had great respect for this industry. It was an option for career especially when i moved to the States. Im also a lifelong fan.
Ofcourse I remember Al Snow, he was a great character and now runs OVW. The owner trying to keep the books adding up so people can get paid and managing egos day to day. Its not an easy task. I can see the owners point or view as a business man trying to create opportunities and keep the hooks balanced. I can also see the ambition of young talent and motivations and/or contentment of the senior wrestlers to keep OVW going. Haley J and Shera are really good people I can relate to. I hope they succeed.
The staff are just people who wish to chase their dreams. You can tell its not purely about money as some know they won't be rich off it. Seeing how battered, bruised and scarred this profession causes on the body you can only hold your hat and respect it. Its a shame many just see it as pure pantomime. The physical exertion, commitment and discipline it takes has to be commended. This show highlights the sacrifices people make to entertain and put on a show. The management and organization that goes into it.
In real life it very similar. Someone gets a promotion where others dont. Someone becomes a poster boy or champion for the company where others await their opportunities. Someone gets the attention and focus where others more deserving dont. Either way the bigger picture is goal of the business. So fans are able to see themselves in these guys. Theres a story to tell and that story is what keeps people engaged with the product.
Its a great documentary and well done to Netflix. Shows like these are what will save their network from crashing and burning. Hopefully it can inspire some, bring new fans in and enthuse the next generation. Maybe in the next life id be a wrestler, but ill always be a fan of what i see as a big part of American culture. Professional Wrestling.
Season 2 Please!
One Day (2024)
Annoying boring Emma Character
Ruins the show. No need to feel sorry for her. Theres always a friendzoned mate to save her. It just accentuates the difference between the sexes
I ended up rolling my eyes at her inability to be positive. Constant long face and pessimism disguised as sarcasm. Poor Dexter, deserves much better. Im sure he wont struggle once his in the limelight. So a player changed all of a sudden meeting Emma. A boring mid that obviously deserves Dexter 3 points above her level. Thats the general theme these days. People read this rubbish and think the world works like that.
I definitely didnt dig this one. Seems like a typical Netflix series geared towards teenage girls. Some people called it a bit soppy. More like a bit depressing due to a moody character messing with multiple Men.
Based on a book but Its not amazing. You got a main character that doesn't know what she wants. Awkward, drifty mess of a character.
My Life with the Walter Boys (2023)
Laughable ending, couldn't stop laughing
The moral lesson here is as in real life. The bad guy gets the girl. The girl enjoys toying and playing a game. Adults are oblivious if anything promote this reckless behavior. Aside from the scenic view and poor man's virgin river vibes. I can't see how they would commission a 2nd season for this show.
Acting isn't amazing and storyline is cliché. Lol I'd be surprised if they renew this. All the other reviews complaining about Cole, these are the same people that go for and date people like Cole. It's just them having to look themselves in the mirror. They just don't like what they see unfortunately. Room for improvements if it does get another season. Which is a hard sell...
Virgin River (2019)
Good show on a sunday
Jack is too good for Mel. All she does is create drama and be annoying. Everything is the past, past past. What others think matters. Hope the show can evolve past an annoying protagonist and underused side characters. Someone said to move the focus away from Mel. Unfortunately it's not a standard TV soap. The story is built around Mel unfortunately. I did find some reviews funny. They're not wrong about certain things. Jack is an awkward situation but that's the consequence of sleeping with someone you have no intention of being with.
I'm still in season 2 due to watching other shows. I'm dreading season 3 from other reviews. Hopefully it gets better. This is not my usual show but thought I'd try something different.
Beckham (2023)
Very interesting as a United fan
All the emotions wrapped up in one. I remember supporting United in the 90s so bought back a lot of memories. The amount of United footage surprised me. It wasn't a vanity biographical documentary. I laughed at some points and was reflective on others. Even then I knew Beckham was a good guyand hardworking. He set the trend for footballers having second jobs outside football. The ups and downs, the fickle England fans all of it is covered. Some rumours about him cheating. Who knows, he's top 1% man in the industry. He's never going to be loyal. Only deluded people don't know how men operate. If he worked a 9 to 5 he'd be more inclined to be loyal. We know that's not necessarily the case. Overall one of the better documentaries by Netflix. Haters can keep up the hate, but Beckham did a lot for England and the haters are very ungrateful. At least he's living a good life and seems like a good guy.
Dirilis: Ertugrul (2014)
Some laughable reviews here!
As someone who is not muslim and was Christian in a past life, I disagree with the other critical reviews
The main reason for people not giving this a chance is either ignorance, jealousy of Turkey or people tied to another religion. I'm not going to lie, there is a lot of Quran and occasional preaching. Its not simply a religious, drama, soap, thriller series. Its a bit of everything. Its not a boys show. Ive recommended it and one or two have picked it up others said they were bored in Episode 1. They weren't bored. They're just in another religion.
I put off watching this for 7 years and I am glad I gave it a chance. I only wish they made a West African version. As people dont believe we have much of a history as we are not as documented as the Europeans. Not much is actually known about Ertrugul. A lot of blanks were filled in this series. I believe its well done, costumes, action scenes are very good. The stunts, training and dedication required to pull it off is definitely top tier. Yes there is CGI and theres even a scene where they show you how they take arrows funnily enough.
Overall its a great series, with good storytelling and in my honest opinion if it wasnt for the final season of Game of Thrones, that show would be superior. This is faster and more exciting. No slow build up or getting bored for 9 episodes. Right from Season 1 it kicks off well and doesn't drop off. I liked how they portrayed young Ertrugul, being stubborn are giving his rivals attitude.
I started watching in May 2022 and Finished in August 2022. All 5 seasons. I watched on Netflix on my commutes. So much so people are wondering what is he watching. Let me tell you ive never been so engrossed and invested in any show before this. Give it a chance. As I did after watching Ottoman movie I wanted more. I learnt Turkish along the way, made a Turkish friend by luck. Ive always been interested in history and Turkiye as a country. Give it a try, If you could sit through Game of Thrones talking, sex, lewdness you can get through this. A lot more content for your money.
My colleagues were stunned when I told them I finished 450 45 minute episodes in 4 months! Ive started on Kurulus Osman this week. Ill miss some characters. Even though people say its not as good. Im happy the producer kept going. I hope they will keep going up till the conquering of Constantinople. Who knows!
Ginny & Georgia (2021)
Decent show but Ginny is annoying
Great show. No issues with the characters just that Ginny can be annoying and attention seeking. Its understandable that shes had it tough moving around. Not getting all the answers from her mom. Her negativity and moodiness is very grating. Im glad her mom is more positive because if she was depressed too I dont think id bother watching this show. Although the mom could be better behaved no ones perfect. Great writing overall! Season 2 I approve.
Li Xiao Long chuan qi (2008)
Brilliant
Great portrayal of events. A bit dramatic but lots of lessons to be learned from this series. Im sure a lot of people can identify with his story. Especially moving abroad and starting again. The actor who played Bruce Lee did a great job. Ive always been interested in martial arts documentaries, movies etc. This was good just unfortunate we have to read subtitles the whole way through.
The English Game (2020)
Great stuff
I didnt think much of it in the first episode. But wow, even if you're not a football fan it is a good series. Hearing familiar names of clubs makes it all worthwhile. Some historical cities and towns you didnt think much of are mentioned. Its like a class war mixed with drama mixed with football action. For once something with a great production value and straight forward storytelling. Some have said its historically accurate which is even better. If youre not from UK you should still give it a chance. Subtitles and audio are available in other languages.
Im into historical programs but I usually wouldn't watch this style. I gave it a chance so should you.
English/UK history is interesting as a topic no matter your background or bias.
Pleased so far. Bring on Season 2
Black Lightning (2018)
Very stereotypical. Not very DC
I dont know, I feel like DC Universe should stay neutral on society's issues and stick to whats in keeping with DC. I just not a fan of this, its worse than black panther in terms of the storyline being politicized to a documentary type level. I know that with the new 52 Lucius Fox's son Batwing is being touted as black Future Batman. I just hate to see great potential heroes of different backgrounds being stereotyped and politicized. Its no different to Vince McMahon recruiting black wrestlers and calling them cryme tyme. Its just terrible. This show had potential but seems to have been dogged by terrible soundtrack, average acting, black power politics and the same old rhetoric. I dont mind a little bit but when every episode is free us, black power, black issues it gets tiresome. This is fiction, allow the audience their escape into that world. Its not really in keeping with DC. They seriously need to move away from the politics otherwise the show will be cancelled
