The Winter King (2023)
Gets better
First couple of episodes aren't that good, but once past that, it's getting better and better and I'm hooked now. Most likely, the people which are giving a ridiculous low rating didn't watch more than one or two episodes, but the story needs some buildup.
There are quite some nice plot twists, and the lead characters are performing decently. Some of the supporting characters are not very talented, but it's not that hard to look over that, because the story is actually quite nice and refreshing.
Worth the try. I really enjoyed watching this.
This is one of the many series where you don't want to rely on the IMDB rating and see for yourself.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
The biggest sci-fi disappointment on TV ever.
I rarely write reviews, but now I need to let off some steam I guess...
I can't remember ever stop watching a Sci-Fi show ever in my life. Some were not so good, some were superb, but I always finished them. And of course, the good ones, those I finished several times :-)
But this show changed it all. I endured it for a long time, until it was unbearable anymore. But trust me, I tried, episode after episode, but I had to give up.
And this is something which makes me sad and angry at the same time. I thought I was an unconditional Sci-Fi lover, no matter what, but I guess there are limits to everything.
And for just a random show, I wouldn't case so much, but this is Star Trek, and they shouldn't kill a franchise like this. A brilliant legacy like Star Trek should have gate keepers to maintain the quality.
I gave it two stars instead of one, just because it is Sci-Fi, and the special effects are great, but the story line, the acting and the character development are sub-zero.
