Dexter (2006)
First four seasons are the best
Dexter is in two eras, the one before Rita and the one after. The season with Rita with Julie Benz was the best. She was the heart in the show and the show fell apart after she was killed off.
The female characters afterwards did not measure up to her. The beginning was thrilling, learning more and more about Dexter and his background. Watching his relationship with Rita develop, and watching the relationship he had with Rita's children. His need to feel normal even when he knows he is not, he is trying to blend in and not be notiseable, so he can continue his killing, and kill the bad guys. He is doing the world a favour at the same time he feeds his urges.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Not worth watching
A great serie deserves a better ending.
Why show ten years later and suddenly he just murders again about the time his son shows up? I didn't get this season, it was, like watching another strange show about someone else.
It would have been better leaving it alone than making this season. Not Dexter worthy.
And the story ploy whit his long lost son was getting better in the end, but suddenly Harrison kills his father? So his darkness is suddenly gone and he shootss his father? This ending sounds desperate, not buying it. Like the finale episode ten years ago, felt rushed and weird that also. Not worth watching.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
Terrible ending
Why this new season? It was totally unnecessary. Did not relate to Dexter in Miami. They could just leave it alone or written something better. Unworthy finale.
Reunion with his son and then his son suddenly get a conscience and kills his father? After what Harrison did with his classmates it's not realistic. It would be more believable if Harrison bonded with his dad and left with him to La. A and they continued doing their thing there, murdering other murders. That would be a better ending. Maybe they wrote this manuscript in a hurry and not think this through. And Angela let Harrison go but not Dexter? Sorry but that's not believable, many black holes in this story that doesn't add up. So I will forget this season and make up my own in my head.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)
A huge disappointment
If you are into American action, you would, probably like this movie. But if you expect sophisticated classic British sherlock Holmes you will be disappointed. This movie doesn't look authentic for the time it's supposed to be in, and the actors doesn't look like what is expected. This movie is too americanised. The actors doesn't fit the roles, the only person that fit the role was killed of in the beginning and the movie went downhill from there.
If they named the main characters something else the expectation wouldn't be so high and the movie would be OK instead of a disappointment. I don't recommend this movie.
Så var det jul igjen (2023)
Norwegian traditions? Not so much
As a Norwegian I didn't recognise a lot of the traditions represented in this movie. Watching this move I was thinking foreigners must think we are are crazy. Most of the Norwegians doesn't take ice baths, and we doesn't celebrate teeny tiny Christmas, we use that day to do christmasshopping. The place where the movie was filmes was a beautiful setting, loved the house and the interior.
The movie had its moment, and made me laugh sometimes. I felt also felt bad for jashan at times. I also missed the connection between the main characters, they could have been more affectionate towards each other.
Like other nations we have our traditions, and the movie showed us to be more open minded and include people from other cultures in our traditions. The movie teaches us a lesson, but didn't touch my heart. It would me nice if there would be a second movie, maybe with an Indian wedding, so we could see culture clash the other way.
Chicago Fire: That Kind of Heat (2020)
Matt and Brett
No no no. Like Brett, like casey, but not together. Miss Gabby though, always thought she and Matt belonged together. Hopes Brett finds another love interest outside the firehouse. He did the right thing admitting he would choose Gabby.
