Dance 100 (2023)
So You Think You Can Choreograph
I love the concept but the editing leaves a lot to be desired. I am only giving it a high score for the sake of some of the routines which were amazing and the dancers are very talented. I hope to see a better edited, scripted, judged 2nd season. The concept of the dancers judging the contestants is very cool but please don't just show 3 of them... The camera angles should be rearranged and the challenges could be better explained so that we can also get more engaged in the creative process. It gets better by the final but at that point you might just stop watching as the first episodes are a mess.
Pressure Cooker (2023)
Big Brother with Chefs
I am always for a good cooking show but this one is not exactly a "cooking show". It is not a bad idea to have this kind of reality show with chefs however in the end it feels like the "game" overcame the "talent". Not gonna spoil it but especially one of the contestants ruined it for me. For a reality show, those kind of characters are fun to have, it just didn't work for this one in my opinion. Having the contestants judge the plates is great but even in the final you sense the gameplay which is kinda disappointing. And even if you are going for a BB type of show, then, there is just not enough drama.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Falcon and the Shield
Without giving any spoilers the show basically bit more than it could chew. There are some good characters but the shield gets a lot more significance than any of them and it seems that they are only there so that we can see Sam as the better one. It is a good arc for Sam but simply unjust for the others. The problem lies with the writing. The motivations are not clear, the characters are good and bad by the end of the episode just because the plot demands them. (especially episode 2 was a mess).
I tried to give a chance to the show even though the first episodes were very messy, there were a lot of good storylines but in the end most of them didn't deliver.
Most of the dialogues were questionable but the peak was the therapy session. After all the series feel forced both on characters and the issues they tried to handle.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Chilling!
To start it of, the series is not perfect. The acting gets questionable sometimes (the gestures don't match the dialogue or it is an isolated story telling all of a sudden) last two episodes takes the horror away(most of the ghost were friendly troop is over used and leaves a lot of questions), and the blue lenses (they are a horror stroy on their own)!!
However, all of this issues doens't take away how chilling the series is. They don't usually resort to jump scares (there are more of them towards the end), characters have depth (Steve is a tough sell at the beginning but he gets better). Foreshadowing all through the show tells you what to expect in a subtle way. The atmosphere is great, the ghosts are scary. But the best thing about it how it portrays a deranged mind. For the most of the show you ask the question "what is real?" It is a difficult thing to do in a tasteful way which this show achieved!
Crazy Delicious (2020)
it is crazy
For one thing I enjoy watching competitions. but the thing I love about it is to watch talented people showcasing their skills. I am not the one for extended back grounds of the contestants, I'd rather see more action.
For a while I have been bored with the similar set ups for cooking shows... so this magical forest feels very fresh! And even though the reciepes are peculiar and not for everyone, I can feel the joy of creating something stunning in the kitchen both by the judges and the contestans.
of course it is not perfect. I would like to see the executions better (maybe an online recipe site), and ofcourse it is scripted (how can they keep the garden full with the ingredients they need if they dont know before hand) jokes may not be for everyone neither. So if you like shows with shiny set pieces with long backgrounds of contestants dont watch this.
But I find this fairytale set up very refreshing, creative and it is definitely a feel-good series
Les affamés (2017)
Not great but not a total waste of time
I had seen recommendations for this film and as a zombie genre lover I wanted to give it a shot... I am still unsure how I feel about it. Some of the characters seemed likable, that I could root for, directing is very impressive, I felt on edge most of the time. BUT world building is lacking, there are many inconsistencies, there are mant questionable actions by the characters, and I am not sure what it wants to be... It could be comedic and self-aware at certain times but realistic and dramatic other times.
Overall, if you like the genre and feel like yelling at a screen why not give it a try!
El hoyo (2019)
there is no subtlety!
I understand the message or the need to make people think about the society.. but this is just throwing everything to your face in an obvious manner... no story-telling, uninspired location...you can see how the story ends from miles ahead. there are so many films with better "film-making" and similar intentions.
It could be good if you have never taken a moment to think about the world and this movie made you do as such.
