Utopia (I) (2013–2014)

Unique, surrealistic and epic TV series

[7/10 · 16 December 2013]

I can't find the right way to describe this show accurately. Utopia is something different! It's like combining Indie music with the movie 'A Clockwork Orange' and that's the result. The story line is unique and intense, the actors plays perfectly (I didn't know any of them before this show) and the directing is awesome. Every episode I've watched felt like a punch to my stomach! So I'll sum this up without any unnecessary words. If you are OK with strong violence, if you are tired of the typical T.V shows or just if you got some spare time - This is a must see series. Hold tight - It's epic! P.S: Where is Jessica Hyde? Have fun!

The Blacklist (2013–2023)

After watching the first episode...

[6/10 · 12 December 2013]

*This review is based on the first episode only* The Black List could become one of the greatest shows of the year, but they fail to do that because of some bad choices: 1. The actors can't act! all of them are really bad besides James Spader that gives this show like 50% of the audience. 2. No Authentic! Elizabeth wakes up in the morning with, of course, a FULL MAKEUP all over her face. -Yeah right. 3. The cops, sorry not cops, FBI! are so dumb! Of course, as always the criminal is a master mind but the FBI have to be so stupid! why every show or movie makes the same mistake?! 4. kitsch, kitsch, kitsch! Little girl gives her necklace away to some woman she just met, "will they hurt me?" Comeon! It's 2013 enough with that! There are many more issues I could bring up but I'll stop here. I'm gonna keep watching it but this show has more potential than it's final result. 6/10 for the first episode.

Derek (2012–2014)

Derek makes me want to be a better man

[10/10 · 14 October 2013]

I know it sounds a bit cliché but it's the truth, and if that's what I feel then this series is very good indeed! I think that 'Derek' is very under rated, if people will give it a chance they will find all of the best that you can get from a TV series. 'Derek' is funny and touching just in the exact amount (I don't find it kitsch as some people may say). Ricky Gervais is doing a wonderful job with all the angles (direction, writing and acting). I personally enjoying mockumentary format such as: The Office (Gervais), Modern Family and I think that he did a great job here as well. The acting of all the cast is very good and authentic - If I wouldn't known any of them I might think it's a documentary show. Karl Pilkington makes me laugh so hard !!! Well... I usually avoid writing reviews because my English isn't the best, but I felt the need writing a review for this series. If you want some thing refreshing and different this is your show.

I give it 10/10. Great job Gervais and the cast (Also the old people! Salute!)

Dexter: Remember the Monsters? (2013) Season 8, Episode 12

You just killed it!

[3/10 · 28 September 2013]

I've watched this episode today, few days after the rest of the world did. Hoping for a great finale, and my hope went down the drain. Dexter throws Deb to the ocean? really? then, he drives straight to the storm, leaves his motherless child with a woman he knows for how long? Jesus... What the f*** was that?!?! And the end, that look to the camera, with his new job and new beard I just wanted to break my TV. F*** you! That's what I wanted to shout. 8 Seasons we are watching this series and this is the thank you? This is what I'll remember from 'Dexter' - And it's bad! very bad!

(I'm sorry for my lame English)
