House of the Dragon (2022)
Have good reviewers watch something else?
Honestly it is one of the most ridiculous spin-offs I have seen and it baffles me that people thought it was overall a good idea.
The saddest part is that it had great potencial if it at least had kept the essence of the original. The first 2 episodes were actually quite promising, but the show went downhill fast from the third episode on.
Nevermind jumping years without any context or purpose, the poor choice of actors, the fact that some characters clearly aged beyond the passing of years and others remained exactly the same, the weak plot with barely any climaxes... The greatest downfall of this show is the lack of character development.
GOT's was successful mostly because all characters evoked an emotion or another. You felt connected and interested in their arc in the story, you understood what motivated their choices. Well, unfortunately we don't find the same here. There is not a single character that makes you feel anything because you simply don't get to know them very way.
Overall, it's a a boring soap opera with a couple dragons, some uninteresting family dynamics, and mostly mediocre acting.
Canada's Drag Race (2020)
Ugh
Let's be honest, since season 1, everybody knows this will never be a big hit in the franchise. From all the questionable judges to the mediocre challenges.. it's been mostly a miss, but at least most of the contestants were great. Unfortunately, the same is not true for season 3. ALL queens are unbearable and unlikeable. I gave up watching halfway through simply because there's not a single queen i'd root for. If they get picked up for another season, they need a major revamp, better judges and casting.
Drag Race France (2022)
Good, but..
..unfortunately reflects the prejudice of the French against immigrants.
The queens were good, but it was pretty clear around the 3rd episode that they only had Lolita on the show for virtual signaling, and that she's never actually win! The semi-final was very clearly rigged to justify getting rid of her, from pairing her with the only guy for the makeover to very blatantly favoring the others on the lipsync. Disappointing.
In from the Cold (2022)
Unbelievably bad
The reviewer who said this is a parody is giving the writers too much credit. It is very clear that this was not meant to be a parody as there was just not enough clues to corroborate, and the reviewer themselves stated that.
This is just lazy writing riddled with unbearable cliches. It still baffles me that men do such a pathetic job at writing compelling and believable female characters. Netflix never ceases to disappoint with its originals.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Pointless
What was the point of this? This was lazier and more uninspired than the already pretty bad last original season. Mediocre acting, lazy writing, unbelievable plot.. Why make this at all if it wasn't to add value to the original show? Utterly pointless.
Sister Act (1992)
A classic light-hearted comedy
This movie aged terrifically well. Jokes are still funny, music is still great. I dont understand the low ratings. Is it knee-slapping funny? No. But it is a great light-hearted movie that brings a smile to my face from beginning to end. I loved it as a kid and still love it today. A must watch.
Ghosts (2021)
Why bother?
Why make a remake that tries to be an exact copy of the original (and fails miserably)? If they really wanted so bad to use the idea, they should have completely changed the storyline or AT LEAST changed the ghosts characters completely. The overall result falls flat, because, even though the premise is good seeing that it is an exact copy of the british counterpart, the actors interpretations are just not good. If you're not gonna copy it to be better, why not simply make something new?
Clickbait (2021)
Hot garbage
One of the most poorly written and implausible scripts I have seen in a while topped off with severely bad acting. Unwatchable.
The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
Hmm.. what?
Nevermind the inumerous plot holes, but this is a movie about grooming disguised as romance. I'm baffled this got made and, worse, a lot of people seem to have liked it. Gross.
Aftermath (2021)
Laughable
Painfully bad acting, writing and directing. Absolute nonsensical stupidity.
Tell Me Your Secrets (2021)
Painful at every each way.
The plot seemed promising, but NOTHING made sense at all. No surprise TNT dropped this, because i cannot find one single good thing about this. All the good reviewers must have no brain cells left, because there's bad and then there's this.
Coroner (2019)
Okaish
This show is a more corny and predictable than the average murder show, but it's okay if you're looking for something you don't need your brain at all to watch.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Interesting premise but utterly confusing
This show made me start reading the books simply because it leaves a lot of things on the air. I had never heard of HDM series of books, but from the very first episode i just knew it was an adaptation by the way it just jumps around implying that the audience knows what's going on.
The story seems really interesting and the books might be really good, but the adaptation is hard to follow and even though i'm on the second season, i barely know what's going on.
Also, are there NO good child actors in the UK? Good grief.
Tiny Pretty Things (2020)
Not surprisingly disappointing
This show has everything I hate on Netflix shows: weak storyline full of holes, subpar writing, terrible acting (I let this one slide, since the pool of actors couldn't have been extensive), and countless random sex scenes/nudity that add nothing to the story line. Most of the characters are completely unlikable , because they have no defined personality. Once again we're shown that one should keep their expectations lower than low when watching anything Netflix original.
