Okey, i'm gonna be honest and say that I really didn't have like a lot of expectation with this because when I saw the trailer I just tougth that it's just a TV show of a bunch of depressing teenagers with first world problems (like mostly of the shows that Netflix loves to create)... and, I mean, there is no a biiiiiiiiig difference beetwen that and the whole situation of the serie, but now that I watched it all I have some things to say. Please take a sit.
1. I have to let it clear that this is an ADAPTATION, and the funny thing of everything is that the creators can actually take all the bases, all the main trama, a lot of the original characters and create something new to the grown children that saw the animated show. I think that i'm actually satisfaed with it... I could enjoy all the main story with Bloom, her past,the discoverment of her powers, etc... when I was a little girl and now being a young adult.
2. NOT AND INFANTILE SHOW. Don't let kids watch it with you, please conserve the innocence of Alfea with them.
3. Maybe it's too "mainstream" or "millennial" for some people a lot of thing that were on the show (like the existence of Instagram or smartphones and texting messages in case of danger, in every single person in the fairy magic world... even teachers) but I think that this just make that the story would be light, funny and accurate to our times. I feel it REAL.
4. Story is DEEP. And that's why I feel it real! 'Cause we all know the main characters of the original version, yes, but not in the sense of talking and treating a LOT of topics that put this show in a range of +16 public (violence, revenge, sex, alcohol and drugs, etc, etc). All the whole situation of Bloom and her powers and family... it was deep sis...
5. FINAL CHAPTER GOT ME SHOCK, no more comments.
6. I think the show deserves a chance, just like Shadowhunters did (wich actually I find both REALLY similar... weird), it's just the first season and I think that it was a very well-doing beginning, I honestly want to see more...
I know it that end will be for me a heartbreaking one, but dammit, I cry so much, so so so much! WILL AND LYRA WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST COUPLE IN ALL LITERATURE! discordant opinions not valid!
I waiting for so long do see this end, the mulefas, rhis master piece, that worth everything! ♡♡♡♡
It went amazingly fast. I did not see that hour go by. What a great episode!
I got myself way too excited for this. I think i probably would have enjoyed this episode more if everything came out at once or if they didn't hype this episode up so much. I came in expecting something that would really change the status quo of the Stranger Things world, I was expecting multiple characters to die. And technically multiple characters died and yeah the Stranger Things world was changed forever by this season but I'm honestly kind of upset that they didn't kill Max or some other characters. Overall this episode was great and I did cry multiple times throughout the episode so I'm still giving it a 9/10 but I got myself way too caught up in the hype.
I was not expecting this bittersweet ending:pensive: Now that we all know it...Is everyone trying to see their daemons too?
That was a beautiful emotional roller-coaster... So many feels.
Honestly, ever since I first read the books decades ago, I've always wanted to see the Mulefa and to finally be here is such a dream come true. Whole show was worth it to me, just for that.
I'm not actually sure what just happened and what I think about it. But the one thing I'm sure of is that the casting in this show is absolutely phenomenal. The actors look so much like their younger counterparts that I'm not fully convinced they aren't actually related.
Plus the cinematography is still fantastic and the music monatages are really beautiful.
And altough the story is still very confusing I found it more easier to follow and more engaging than Season 1 because I now know all the charcters and their background. And it seems that the writers had this all planned out and aren't just making shit up as they go which is really important in a time-travel show.
Am I the only one who got a REALLY bad vibe from Raquelle ?
She seems like a parasite + CLEARLY DO NOT understand mental health
I clearly don't know their relationship, but it's a feeling I have
I've never been more heartbroken over a character's death like Eddie's last words were the saddest and proudest words he's ever said and yeah i sat there screaming crying sobbing throwing up
This show literally started to feel like the vampire dairies cuz there’s two brothers fighting over one girl:sob:
The worst show ever made that I love. Don't take it seriously and enjoy it.
How is this movie getting such glorified reviews??? While the action scenes are fine, the story is somewhere between illogical and ridiculous.
None of the story lines make any sense, it's just one fight/chase after the next up until the idiotic finale. And yeah, let's connect the laptop of our villain super-hacker to the local network, what could go wrong.
Oh man they played us so well with Jackie's death. I just went back and watched the episode 1 opener. In hindsight it clearly wasn't her but that episode was crafted so well it led us to believe that. Bravo.
So it's confirmed that Lottie will be ringleader and that she's still got some cultists 25 years later? Super interesting!
And Taissa is darker than we thought!! (still not as dark as twisty Misty tho ofc)
Bring on season 2!
This season has some really good side plots, like Francesca looking for a match (I ADORE her and John!) and struggling to fit in with her loud and chaotic family, and Eloise and Cressida’s unexpected friendship (who would’ve thought I would LIKE Cressida? Not me). Even the Featherington girls are a really fun comic relief.
Unfortunately I don’t vibe with Colin and Penelope as a couple lol. All this talk about Colin being this sensitive guy who lives for others… all I remember of him from previous seasons is him traveling and blowing the family money to indulge his own whims lol. And I don’t mind a character whoring around a bit but for me if a romance is to work I don’t want to see that character STILL whoring around once they realize their feelings for their one true love. Colin is not a true yearner and I don’t respect him! I also just find the chemistry between him and Pen lacking. I can see why they had to send Kate and Anthony on a second honeymoon because their chemistry would make the lack thereof between the season’s main couple obvious. Even Fran and John are outselling them without speaking to each other.
All these years later, it still amazes me how much chemistry Henry Ian Cusick and Sonya Walger had.
Unbelievably, Walger was only in 13 credited episodes, yet Penny now feels like she was a part of the show as long as Desmond, who was in a lot more episodes.
It's only been one year since her mom died?! I understand that time in shows doesn't necessarily align with time in the real world, but this seems extreme. The pilot aired almost 4 years ago, and her mom had already died at that point.
Great ending, I'm really glad I watched it. It was refreshing to see people my age (close to 40) living these kinds of emotions, while delivering a truly "and they lived happily ever after" ending, and the narration was great.
Interestingly enough, as much as I thought the show was going to be all about SEX, after they wrapped it all up with the second season, that's not its main topic. The first season was a rather 50 shades-type of fantasy, and it took a turn (or well, they elaborated and emphasized other aspects further) for the second season to tell about loss, marital problems, mid-life crisis, addiction, and to be a - in some ways - surprisingly candid and more or less realistic approach to people in their late 30s.
Most of the second season was honestly quite depressing. I don't want to see more into this series than what it is, but it was more profound than I anticipated it to be. I didn't think they would manage to wrap it all up, especially nicely, but they did, and I'm happy with how they left things.
What I didn't like at all is Sasha's painfully long and very extremistly parodistic/stupid "independent woman/extreme feminist" arc. As a (I'd say normal) feminist myself, to me, it felt as if someone dumb and clueless would try to come up with a feminist manifesto without actually talking to any woman in the world. I am aware that there might be people who would act like Sasha and her followers did, but the arc and the interviews with her as an author and empowered woman were a disgrace to feminism and empowered women. They could have at least resolved it earlier. Anyway, boyyyy, how Sasha and Kam look good together!
All in all, I liked Sex/Life for multiple reasons, and even though it started our as a regular 50 shades for mid-life crisis, it became a bit more. By the second season, I found myself caring about the characters, and rooting for Billie + Brad, and Sasha + Kam. I liked Majid too though.
I knew it was a sad sad ending, because I read the books, but damn! They gave me all the feels…the cast, crew and producers did an amazing job….well done! Really well done! Thanks for this
Over 20 year, since i read the book, same feel, same pain... Poor kids!
I'm not crying, you're crying.
A beautiful but bittersweet ending. I think the last three episodes were the high point for this show and they deserve all the credits.
Dafne Keen and Amir Wilson really matured in their acting and the show grew with them. Keen was just outstanding in this last season.
After the cancellation of the trilogy after just one movie (The Golden Compass) I think they made a worthy adaptation of the books.
Yep, I don't regret a single minute, this show is a wonderful, brilliant story, with amazing acting and VFX. Tears were shed.
8.5/10
Wtf did I just watch?
Ok you cannot watch it with partial attention. I did not understand it. But after I watched the explanation video on YT I was also convinced I would have not get it anyway.
Good movie for people that are into nonsense stories and don't really care about what is going on, the only "good scenes" are the ones with kisses.
impossible not to notice how heavily celine's skin is filtered/edited. apart from that, a cute and funny movie
