Lucky Hank (2023)
Outstanding Scene in S1, E7, The Count of Monte Cristo
I'm learning to enjoy the characters but my interest in Lucky Hank has been sputtering until a passage in the new episode caught my fancy.
The show is just too slow and depressing to me although Bob Odenkirk is Bob Odenkirk, Diedrich Bader and Oscar Nunez are fine and then there are a host of others whose persona is just emerging.
If nothing else check the Mireille Enos restaurant scene at the 38 minute mark, such a laugh, fine writing, well performed. More of that and I might hang with it.
Otherwise I have to agree the story line lacks interest, its more about the quirky characters, its hard to imagine how the premise can last more than a season.
The Last Kingdom (2015)
Very much like The Last Kingdom
But seasons 4 and 5 not so much, they would have done better to go out on a high note.
Season 5 has its good moments but the characters have become less interesting, coloration oo dark, too much hard to follow mumbling drama. The outdoor group scenes the best, the costumes are the boss. I'll stick with an overall "8" and appreciate the hard work that went into it.
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
Left with an Empty Feeling
I confess to watching every episode before realizing the characters were an overused, worn-out personality mix, the plot was predictable and the hundreds of assassination style killings were the central plot driver.
But still part me enjoyed the novelty, the exposure of human fragilities and the bright color sets and costuming.
The product is not that great, the remarkable popularity might be explained by the economic desperation many of us feel right now and perhaps it taps into a growing resentment toward the financial elite.
