This was SO GOOD, I tried to only watch 1 episode at a time, but these last two were so engaging and intense that I just had to sit through them. This show did really well in making me sit at the edge of my seat and feel for all the characters. I need a second season.
I'm loving all these new characters who got introduced.
Oef, this show is INTENSE. Very realistic (though we might be looking at a worse situation in 2037). The one thing that made me tear up though (aside from the intro speech) was the idea of a Palestinian and Israeli state living side by side together in peace.
Wow, this episode was emotional and beautiful. The ASL musical number was beautiful and the story between the father and daughter as well. Made me tear up inside. Also Tobin is growing on me, the last two episodes his small parts were wonderful. I feel like it was a great choice to have him be the one who knows ASL. I don't care much for the love triangle, but I am so here for Zoey's brother and his wife talking like grown-ups about how they feel. Brilliant choice of song regarding that story beat, I'm a fan.
Four episodes in and for a while there the Pilot was my favourite episode, but this one is incredible as well. The story line with Mo is interesting and nice, but I also love Zoey trying to talk with her other neighbour. It's so nice to see kindness on tv.
I feel so bad for the people who made this that they had to rush it all in 6 episodes. HOWEVER, some of the previous episodes also had some stuff in there that they could've left out in favour of setting up the finale better. All in all, I'm happy Scott & Lucas are still alive and 'family' ;-; and sad about Levi dying.
I love all the inconsistencies. Very clear that they either swapped the writer team for this season or they forgot what they wrote for the first season.
Scot's anxiety being healed by a single event... I really hope the show runners don't do this to me. I want this character to have more of a journey.
"we've been waiting for three years"
My favourite parts of this season so far has been Brother Constant and Polly.
Wow. This was intense. This was something. So much surprised me but also really didn't. I am, softly spoken, in SHAMBLES.
Amazing performance by T'Nia Miller, I was at the edge of my seat. She was phenomenal in this episode!
I AM STILL CRYING??? Yet I freaking loved it.
I freaking love this series! It's fun, it's thrilling, the characters are amazing. It really gives me Tarantino vibes in the best sense. And the ending is very satisfying! With all the stories betting wrapped up fantastically, and every episode having led to them. Honestly, go watch this show! Do yourself a favour and enjoy the silliness and great story-lines!
We get our first openly ace character on the main supporting cast (and not a one-off side character like earlier), and this happens. ;-; Felt like a very manipulative move.
I hope Maeve is alright, her journey this season feels so intense and emotional, and I am rooting for her to get on top at the end of it. I am glad Aimee is such a supportive friend, and I am glad Otis told her eventually because it would've just gotten worse and worse if he didn't, but now he needs to make it up to her.
Meanwhile I am just reminding myself that these are still teenagers and they make all kinds of stupid decisions. The only one who needs to get her stuff together asap is the aunt.
Also Beau is giving me a weird vibe, I feel something is off with him.
Watched it in Japanese and I am still chuckling at the voices for the World Five, some sound like AI, most sound like Japanese voice actors attempting an accent. All in all, it's wonderful and I love it.
Alright, I did not see that ending coming at all. I am sad. Orlo was my favourite character, I loved how chaotic he became with every season that progressed, and now that's over... I guess it's because the actor got different roles. But regardless, I'm going to have to take a moment before I continue the rest of the season. It feels a little weird to have lost the one character who really wanted for Peter to die, and I will miss the perspective he brought to the story, hopefully they'll have a character who will take his place.
I definitely loved this episode even more because I'm from the Netherlands.
The "gezellig" boat guy is my favourite. I feel like one thing a lot of Dutch people have in common is that when we learn that the word has no translation in English, we INSTANTLY feel proud, and this episode felt gezellig. I also loved the Andre Hazes quip and Jan being excited about Groningen. (Though I personally would've thought it funny if they all took the train to Groningen). Also the bike thing... the old guy stealing the bikes, CLASSIC. Jamie & Roy in general, I love them.
And then of course, the part that followed Colin and Trent, my heart. I was crying. It's been a thing here in the Netherlands, and that already made me hyper-focussed on that storyline, but the fact that they choose this location to further it feels like it has a double meaning to me. Which I can really appreciate.
I may just watch this episode again because SO MUCH happened in it.
Two episodes in and not only am I hooked, this is one of the best things I've seen in MONTHS. The emotion, the struggle, the current themes, but also the feeling that this is still extremely current, even though this show aired four years ago.
ORLO IS AN ACE KING! This show makes me so happy in general, but Orlo being written as asexual just adds ten cubes of awesomeness to it. ;-;
Ruby Cruz and Erin Kellyman getting emotional about representing queer characters made me emotional. As did Amar Chadha-Patel basically saying he'd always wanted to be a Han Solo/Indiana Jones type of character. Even if this show only gets on season, I am glad to have gotten something as hopeful as this.
I am begging Disney to renew this, that cliffhanger was great, and I freaking adore all the characters to such a point that I was crying/sad eyes whenever a character presumed dead or left the main cast behind. I freaking love the tone, it's less serious than most other shows out there, especially fantasy series. It has helped me get through the past weeks, I've laughed out loud, I've cried, I've felt all the emotions, but mostly I was excited for Wednesday! So thank you Willow, for making me excited about Wednesday!
I loved this! I understand it has its flaws, but it's light-hearted and a great nod to the source material. I love the team-up, it feels forced, but the characters work well together. Shout out to Boorman! A Legend. Dove grew on me very fast, and I feel like there is more to her than we know. While I enjoyed Airk, I'm glad he's the one who got kidnapped. And the guard dying was so dry, I loved it. I expected him to perish, and he did only a few seconds after I said it out loud.
Did they really need a redemption arc? I feel like this movie was missing all the heart of the original story, where the other characters who weren't the Sandersons drove the story forward, where the death of a small girl resulted in her brother being trapped for centuries, and the eventual outcome was both happy and sad at the same time. This one was just... meh.
THIS EPISODE IS CUTE. I loooove Jihan.
I'm Dutch myself and this episode was brilliant. It's satire, so I know to take most of it with a grain of salt. But whenever Earn sneezed and EVERYONE went "gezondheid" I couldn't stop laughing. That was 100% accurate. The whole thing with Van & Darius though, damn, that went somewhere ;-;
Super glad Atlanta is back, and honoured that they did an episode about the Netherlands.
STROOPWAFELS! Now I'm hungry.
I am an emotional mess. A very good series, a very real and very sad ending. Props to the main lady, she's an amazing actress!
Blue is so precious. This whole episode, this whole show, IS FANTASTIC. And I cried when the waiter told Blue that he should get a Transformer. This show is just so well done. So human.
I think it is good that they incorporated COVID into the show, and I know it is mostly for the first episode, less so over the rest of the show. But still, not all of us are privileged in knowing first hand the stress hospital staff went through during the first months of the crisis (and most likely what they're dealing with right now, if it isn't worse). A lot of writers on the show were (or are) on the frontline, so I am glad they got to write about some of their experiences.
And the episode also gives hope, because as this aired, people are being vaccinated all over the world. COVID-19 changed a lot of things last year, and some of them for the worst, some of them for the better.
I'm familiar with the character of Lupin, and I LOVE THIS. Omar Sy is as charming as ever, and he's definitely in his element here. Cannot wait to see where this show goes, I'm already hooked!
