The Crown: Ritz (2023)
Fiction fodder that says and does almost nothing.
Saw the high reviews of the episode and was quite exited about this episode but I was thoroughly let down. Only reason for this episode is to show you the watcher that old people are indeed getting older and sicker. There really isn't any meaningful character development going on other than margarets health declining. The flashbacks are there only to remind you that you are indeed watching a show produced by netflix in the year 2023 and there must be some virtue signalling going on. Overall I thought the season was an improvement from the previous one, but there are a few episodes that are complete misfires and this most certainly is one of them.
The Witcher (2019)
Disapointment is imeasurable and my day is ruined
I really liked the book series and was quite exited for the adaptation to film. First season seemed to deviate from the original plot a fair bit but at least they had a chance to come back to the sorse material. The second season completely abandons the books and seems like poorly written fan fiction. Henry Cavil is the perfect choice for geralt but the rest of the casting is very forgettable. On the surface it seems like an ok show but knowing there was a chance to make this an actual good adaptation it tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth.
