The Acolyte (2024)
As a SW Fan, I'm Appalled at How This Series is No Longer For Me.
They finaly did it. I am not the target audience of this series.
I can't decide what disgusts me more - the blatant nepotism in hiring the producer's wife or the overwhelming cringe factor. Fiction differs from documentary in that fiction needs coherence and sense. The Acolyte completely lacks this. Ms. Amandla utterly botched her role - her acting skills are abysmal, and the character she created is dull and predictable. The Jedi are depicted as idiots, behaving like preschoolers driven by emotions. The only character I liked was the Sith. The best performance, by far, was Plagueis.
I don't know who this series is meant for, but it's definitely not for me.
Altered Carbon (2018)
Do not read books before watching
This made me realize why I dont like series based on books. The author had a vision and a plan - he was the master of whole world and figured out all details and plots. While showrunner/writer tries to adopt the world and is deemed to make mistakes (and on top of that its netflix so ... ). And lets be honest - lets not compare Richard Morgan do this shows producer.
In this case the whole book story has been thrown into mixer and made into 2 seasons.
The changes they made sometimes make no sense. Sometimes you can see obvious neflix propaganda, but overall I think they did pretty good job, even thou I think they closed couple of storylines prematurely. The story from the books is far more interesting thou...
I enjoyed both seasons, S01 is better, but overall both are worth watching. Read books afterwards because you might be disappointed.
Another Life (2019)
Watch just for Katee Sackhoff
Its fun to watch pretty good actress 'Starbuck' given horrible script and terrible partners.
The amount of nonsense in this show is overwhelming so if you wanna just storm through it - feel free to overuse skip +5s button. Some of episodes .. ow boy ... there was heavy mashing of that button.
Another Life: Never Gonna Give You Up (2021)
well.. this is way worse than everything
I know that you have to do scifi.. but come on. I am watching this because of the absurd.
Law of physics ... who needs them.
And when this is the only season when I did not fast forward in... "1" episodes.
October Faction (2020)
cringefest like usual
There is a term - "classical netflix movie" and this one is good example what it is.
Tokenisms everywhere.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Thank you for product placement just in last episode
First of all I enjoyed the show - all 10 episodes. It was not the old startrek to the full extend but it was not that horrible. Everyone who enjoyed TNG and old stuff should find at least something interesting.
Unfortunately everything is build around nostalgia.
And I would like to thank the writers to put LGBT product placement (I know that you had to do it) just in the last episode so that I it was not the cringefest like in Discovery throughout all episodes.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
The propaganda that lead to disaster
This is what happens when leftist propaganda gets in a way of making good film. This is so sad, because I thought that it is impossible to make horrible star trek series. Until I watched discovery.
The series is full of "product placement". Where the product is leftists/LGBT/feminists ideology. While watching you know exactly when cringe moment starts.
The authors (I home they will be banned from making movies) could achieve the same thing if they knew how to do it in more startreky way - more subtle.
