The Walking Dead: Lines We Cross (2019)
Enjoyable beginning!
This premiere was not thst bad qt all! It was not, explosive actionpacked or devestating, yet it did a good job at setting the tone and stage for this season!
After so mamy seasons, I am impressed at how this show still manages to keep me invested and entertained, when you feel like you have seen everything this show can throw at you!
What really stuck with me after this episode, was the theme of what the future might be and how to keep you himmanity in a world that could easilly turn you into a cold wild beast!
The Walking Dead has always been about how to survive in this world, qnd how it affects the humanity of our characters, and that trend seems to continue!
The Walking Dead: The Calm Before (2019)
Heartbreaking imagery, that will never leave your memory!
I dont even know where to begin with this episode.. I was left completely in shock, after seeing one of the most cold and devestating scenes in the show! Its one of the things that I never thought I would see!
In this show you always knew that your characters weren't safe, yet this show still manages to throw you for a loop, stap you in the heart, and then just leave you thrre on the ground when the episode ends!
I was not excited about this show, through season 7 and 8, but season has managed to light my spark of interest, by figuring out what worked about this show in the earlier seasons and then just a new story from there!
The Walking Dead: Evolution (2018)
Felt like watching a zombie horror movie!
After all the action packed episodes or the character centered episodes, I never thought I would see something like this!
This really brought me back to the first season, where it focused more on the horror atmosphere, rather than gorry kills! I actually got chills watching this episode! I was scared and unnerwed cause I didn't know what to expect!
The setting and directing made for a truely chilling experience! The mist/fog and graveyard... Wow.. felt like a moderne take on "Night of the living Dead" where you don't what happens, until it happens!
The Walking Dead can still throw surprises at you after nine seasons, and this episode is the perfect example!
Better Call Saul: Lantern (2017)
A dark amazing end!
This was a brilliant end to season 3, which I consider the best season up till this point, in terms of story, pay-off and development!
This episode shows the complexity of Chuck and his scene with Jimmy was a heartbreaking reminder at how their relationship had become! Chuck might not be loved, but he sure as hell was well written! I really felt sorry for him in this episode! His scenes were dark and real, and I couldn't stop thinking if this is where he needed Jimmy the most and if they were on terms.. maybe things would have been different!
The scene with Hector was great too! Giancarlo is superb as Gus! With his facial expressions alone, you know what is going on inside his head, like when he is looking at Nacho!
Jimmy also made a sacrifice, and descided to do the right thing, even if it did not benifit him, as he has yet to fully embrace his Saul persona!
Better Call Saul: Fall (2017)
Solid all the way to the crashing end!
Another great episode that had me thouroughly invested and enjoyed from beginning to end! Every scene had purpose, and every scene was well written and directed!
Jimmy does what he can to get the money from the sandpiper settlement, Chuck struggles to get back in HHM qnd Kim takes on more than she can handle!
All characters get a memorable moment to shine, and I can feel the character arcs are about to come full circle, especially in the case of Chuck whom struggles to keep both feet in reality!
The last scene were incredible and very well edited! Never seen something quite like it! It really felt like as if you experienced it yourself.
Better Call Saul: Slip (2017)
Marvelous tension!
Something this show does well is slowly setting up these great moments! It takes time to explain and show how it will go down! The scene with Nacho and Hectors meditation, is qn example of this!
The tension in that scene was so real that I think I sweater almost as much as the characters did! Every moment had me on edge, will it go as planned or not? When you know how things will ho from here, it might be one of the most significant and important moments!
This episode also reminded me how tragic a character, Chuckbreally is! In the first half of the season, I rooted for Jimmy, so i had nothing left over for him, but now I see him for what he actually is, and I almost feel sorry for him!
Better Call Saul: Witness (2017)
Things are shapin up!
Yet another brilliant episode, that really cracks up this seaaon in terms of development and excitement!
Every scene in this episode was satisfying and exciting to watch in their own way! A couple of characters from Breaking Bad, make their apperance, and they were used perfectly!
I think Jimmy got the best scenes in this episode! I enjoyed his scenesbwith Mike on a mission, and the finale scene was full of tension and drama!
We can tell in the ens, how broken and hurt Jimmy is, realizing that his brother does not care about him in the same way, that he does! Instead he used jimmy's affection to get what he wanted, and Jimmy knows that! I could really feel the anger and frustration!
Now whatever comes next can only get better!
Suits: Pilot (2011)
I got more and more invested!
That is how I felt when watching this episode, that it only got better and more exciting as the episode went along!
I think the decision of making this episode a 1 hour and 20min two-parter, was great, as 40min would not have been enough to both introduce to the premise, and get you hooked at the same time!
The premise felt like a nice breath of fresh air for my! At first i thought this show wasn't for me, but I have to admit that as the episode went on, the more i wanted to see and know!
The characters are charasmatic and fun to spend time with! I enjoyed the humor and dialogue!
Overall a pilot and premise that made me want to watch the next episode right after!
Better Call Saul: Klick (2016)
OH no.. wishfull thinking!
This was a great finale that perfectly wraps up season two, while also setting the stage for the events that will take place in season three!
The flashback scene was emotional, while also showing us the complicated relationship of the McGill brothers, and we only feel even more sorry for Jimmy!
This episode felt like the turning point for the relationship between Chuck and Jimmy, as Chuck refuses to let him go and give up on what he did! Its emotional to witness, as we see that Jimmy still cares for his brother, even if Chuck doesn't care about Jimmy!
The stuff witb Mike is tense and great as well, as his hatred for Hector only grows! Seeing the note on his car.. and you know what that means!
The ladt scene was amazin, with some great drama, writing and a cliffhanger that leaves you shocked at what might come next!
Better Call Saul: Nailed (2016)
They nailed it!
This episode, is my favorite in season two, as it works as this culmination-ride with great drama amd acting, as the law might catch up with Jimmy!
This episode begins with an exciting opening that brought me back to Breaking Bad! From there it is just exciting and dramatic! Jimmy's scam is put in motion, but he might have forgot that his brother is smarter and knows him!
Rhea Seehorn was fantastic in the scene with Chuck! Incredible! I was in awe!
I loved the development in the relationship between Jimmy and Kim! Jimmy's feelings for her, could be his undoing!
Mike also appears to be one of the smartest characters, just like we know him!
The final scene was tense until it blows up right before the credits rolled!
Better Call Saul: Rebecca (2016)
Underrated classic!
One of the things I loved about Better Call Saul, was how it took time to show us, just what kind of work a lawyer does, and how it showed our characters going theough a regular day of work, in these well edited montages!
I really felt sorry for Kim in this episode, she is one of my favorite characters, and Rhea Seehorn is crminaly underapreciated!
I enjoyed her conversation with Chuck, who paints Jimmy as this individual who is destined to screw up and drag those around him, with him!
Jimmy himself struggles as he loves bending the rules to his favor, but is unable to, and instead has to go by the book!
Better Call Saul: Gloves Off (2016)
Another solid episode!
This episode was another solid, exciting experience filled withbgreatbdrama qnd tension from beginning to end!
This episode brings us one step closer to how Jimmy will transform into Saul, as he once again gets punished for doing something good, but he acted on his own out of self interests! We clearly see how Jimmy is great at being his own man, but does pool when others tell him what to do and what he cant do!
The scene with Jimmy and Chuck, might not hit as hard as the one in Pigmento, but is still another masterclass in acting, as we see Jimmy's frustration build-up!
The plotline with Mike is equally great, intense with some nice cameos that actually makes sense in the story, tie in to Breaking Bad, and shows us what an absolutely bad ass Mike truely is!
Better Call Saul: Cobbler (2016)
Still moraly flexible?
This was another great episode, and manages to develop and improve on the things we saw in the first episode!
This episode sees Jimmy take on his new job, while Mike tries to solve the situation with Dan Wolmard!
Its a great blend of great acting, writing, drama and comedy! Jimmy in the interrogation room was one of the greatest things i have seen! Absolutely hilarious, while still having tension!
In the end we see a glimpse of who Jimmy is gonna become later! I like this way of foreshadowing cause it says a lot about his character! Even with the greatest opportunities, its still a matter of what he loves the most!
True Detective: The Final Country (2019)
Really tense experience!
This episode was once again this tense, slow børn feeling as the pieces slowly start to come together, and the truth about all of it, slowly unfolding!
There were multiple great scenes in this episode, that all had this dark and uneasy feeling and atmosphere! You never quite knew what to expect, so you were eagerly on edge, waiting for the next reveal or development!
The scenes that stood out to me where the scene in the barn and the final scene! Whenever i think of this episode, I think of those to! Raw and unpredictable!
The multiple storylines also continues to develop our characters more and more!
Better Call Saul: Pimento (2015)
You're not a real lawyer!
This episode was an incredible, well-written experience, elevated by some amazing performances that shows that Jonothan Banks is not the only one who goes all out!
This episode captures the relantionship between Chuck and Jimmy, in its most pure ans true form! Its like the vail is gone and we finally get to see what kind of person Chuck really is in that incredible final scene!
Mike also has some great scenes as we now get one step closer to the tough-guy we know from Breaking Bad! I loved his scene where he talks about what It means to be criminal and that everyone has their good side and bad side!
Overall this was Better Call Saul at its FINNEST!
True Detective: Hunters in the Dark (2019)
More intense development!
I actually have come to appreciate the more slow-burn storytelling of season 3, as it allows for the viewer to reflect on the small subbtle details, and to really feel the tension when it is there!
I think this episode had some great development on the case, and we can tell that there is only two episodes left after this one!
There were scenes where I was both confused, but also had the feeling that things were making sense, or at least parts of it! I mean i csnt stop thinking about why we dont see the car when he looks out the Window, but instead have to take him on his Word!
The final scene were also really tense just before the credits rolled!
Characters and their development were great as always!
True Detective: If You Have Ghosts (2019)
Masterfull performances!
This season is slowly, but certainly transforming into an amazing journey, that feels like a unique and well written story!
After the explosive ending of the previous episode, we get one intense and well directed action scene, that holds nothing back!
We also get more and more information about the case, as the story seems to really go somewhere and we can see hints at how things might unfold towards the end!
However the best from this episode were the characters! I love their development and how they grow with each episode! The ladt 10min in the present were some of the best acting and writing i have seen in this show! An emotional, tragic moment as they reflect on life, what they have done and above all the feeling that life and memories are about to come to an end and dissapear... cause thats life!
Better Call Saul: Bingo (2015)
Crossroad!
Yet another great episode from this show, where we start to see Jimmy's development as a lawyer!
This episode shows that your actions will have consequences in one way or another! I really enjoyed Jimmy's development in this episode! You can tell he wants to do the right thing, but you can also feel the conflict within him, and that especially shows in the final scene!
We also get some great sequences in terms of both writing and directing! This show just delivers in ways that very few other shows have!
It was also great to see Mike in action, doing what he does best! The whole sequence with him was just great!
Alien: Romulus (2024)
A movie for the fans!
I have to admit, I was skeptic going into this movie, since the later trailers made me worty that they showed the whole movie, cause it was going to be bad... however I was thankfully wrong!
This was such a pleasent surprise, and felt like the biggest breath of fresh air, after prometheus and covennant!
You can tell that the director loves the franchise, and that he went back to the first two movies, saw what worked, and why they were loved by the fans, and then combined them into making this movie! We even get some Alien Isolation vibes!
The story and action takes its time to get going, but thats part of the charm with these movies! I enjoy that slow burn until things go crazy! Taking its time to establish the characters, the setting, the rules etc!
I loved how many practical effects that they used! Thats another part of the charm and why the first movies are so great, compared to the later ones! The experience becomes more immersive, rather tvan having all that CGI to pull you out og it!
Overall a movie that exceeded my expectations, and might become my favorite outside the first two!
True Detective: The Great War and Modern Memory (2019)
A solid opening!
This was a great first episode, and kind of felt like a breath of fresh air, after the mixed bag known as season two!
You can tell that they went back to season 1, and tried to figure out what worked back then, as we got less characters, as well as a focus on different timelines, to give us indight into have our main character changes, and the score of the case!
The story is also a lot more focused! Where as season two was all over the pkace, this time we got a clear story and a simple case, that keeps you hooked, as you trry to piece together the information!
Overall I enjoyed this episode! More atmosphere, identity and a case that gets under your skin!
Better Call Saul: Five-O (2015)
"I broke my boy"
Absolutely stuvning episode, that delivers powerfull emotional moments and incredible writing!
This episode gives us an insight into Mike's backstory and what happened back in Philledelphia! The episode works wonderfully as an Mike stand alone episode, as Jonathan Banks perfectly Carries the whole episode, with an award worthy performance!
This is where men cry, as the painfull backstory is slowly revealed to the audience! The final monologue is impossible not to tear up to, and stands as one of my favorite scenes with Mike!
Jonathan Banks nailed his character in this episode, and still remains one of my favorite episodes in the show!
Better Call Saul: Alpine Shepherd Boy (2015)
Not bad at all!
I actually enjoyed this episode even more on rewatch! It has some great humor, while also giving us drama, and deeper dive into Chuck's condition!
This episode struck me cause you start to get a glimpse of that the relationship between Chuck and Jimmy, might be more complicated than you think! I like thise subbtle hints to what Chuck thinks of Jimmy, cause I know how important that will be, as the show goes on!
The rest of the episode offers some hilarious moments, as Jimmy visits different clients, who has one outrageous request after the other!
The end offers a calm build up towards next episode!
True Detective: Omega Station (2015)
Emotional, tragic end!
This season was different, and therefore qlso got a very different end!
This was a tragic dark end, for q season that also explored characters, with destructive nature, who uustbwasn't as Lucky in lifebas others.. and I think the ending was very fitting for what It set up!
While the story was confusing this season and it took a while to understand it, I think it got better once we got to the end and the pieces started to fall in place! Its not your typical resolution, but an emotional and memorable one!
Season 2 is very devicive and I can see why! Its nothing like season one, its confusing, all over the place and has a weird obsession with highways.. but with some patience, there is a reward to be found at the end.. even if it is not what you expected!
True Detective: Black Maps and Motel Rooms (2015)
All the many pieces are starting to fall in place!
This episode starts to unveil the scope of everything and you slowly realize just how deep in trouble our characters are!
This episode throws a lot of information at you, and if you don't or haven't paid attention, its gonna seem very confusing at times! It takes a lot of effort to piece together the many layers of corruption and to understand how it all began!
The last part of the episode was another tense sequence with a shocking outcome! You can feel that this is the penultimate episode and I have no idea if things are about to go from bad to worse!
Season 2 is finally starting to entertain and suck you in!
True Detective: Church in Ruins (2015)
More tension!
This was the first episode where I could really feel the tension in the scenes throughout the episode! Multiple memorable moments that are the best I have seen in this season thus far!
This episode was a lot more focused on the story and the characters! I still enjoy Ray's character and his destructive path, as he slowly starts to realize just what kind of person he is! Colin Farrel was excellent at that phone call scene!
The party was also great! Finally a sequence with more disturbing atmosphere, tension and great directing and editing! This was the best sequence in this season thus far!
Season 2 started weak and confused, but it is starting to grow on me now!
