Great entertainment, impeccably made, with a solid cast and excellent writing. And the final episode is amazing.
So, basically, it's Rocky IV.
Basically it's an MCU movie but stretched on 9 episodes / two months and with the bizarre/quirky/interesting/best part they push on the marketing side positioned at the beginning instead of the second act.
What an incredible way to manage something that has an only possible ending, which makes it predictable, by still make it amazingly perfect. Pluys, it's 5 more episodes than season 3 and it still didn't feel too long.
This is where it goes from a really good show to fucking amazing. I laughed to tears and realized they were tears of sadness. The musical numbers are out of this world, the themes are interesting and everything is so well written. Amazing show, even though I kinda feel it sometimes feels a bit stretched, with too many episodes.
A very, very good second season, that doesn't sit on the accomplishments of the first ones and instead constantly moves forward with new inventions and great plot developments. And the musical number are out of this world. And it makes me laugh so hard. And Vella Lovell.
The second half of the season is adorable, with at least a couple of standout episodes. My daughter is crazy for the sci-fi one.
Great cast, very smart writing, funny as hell, full of inventions, constantly surprising and with Vella Lovell. What more do you want?
Having finished adapting the books, the series goes on without missing a beat and adding a bit more horizontal storytelling. All the great things from season one are still here and it remains a lovely watch, full of inventions and with the right amount of spookiness. The variation in episodes length works surprisingly and there's at least four standout episodes that are worth the watch. But the season as a whole is really good.
A solid second season, with a couple of standout episodes (the one directed by Robert Rodriguez is amazing) and a very strong ending.
Fun, complex, lovely acted and written, impeccably shot crime/spy/political drama. The usual very good British stuff, and it starts and finishes with a couple of bangs.
What a lovely show! Great cast, fun and smart writing, interesting themes and an entertaining mystery.
Jeez this feels old. I can see the potential for it to become as good as I read it will, but the first season feels cheap, with corny dialogues and clumsily directed. Plus, being a horror fan I like the gore element but it feels a bit forced. Still, I enjoyed it and I still to continue.
Lovely writing and directing, great production values, excellent acting, this is a deep, entertaining, fascinating show.
The usual lovely BBC fare: impeccably made and acted, interesting, mature entertainment.
The immediate rewatch is making me appreciate much more the character development, how later seasons pick up on stuff that was laid down here and already in the first season. The tale of Donna and Cameron and how they basically start acting like Joe when they realize their ambition, the depth of desperation in which Joe is falling, the pit from which Gordon is gonna have to crawl out...
Plus, honestly, this is such a lovely watch, of course when it's entertaining and fun, but also when it gets really sad, because it's so nice to be with such well written characters. What a show. I'm gonna miss it, when we finish this rewatch.
As an immediat re-watch it feels so much better. The weaker moments are still there but you can see all the basis from the character growth that will come in later seasons and it's fascinating to watch all the little things that the authors then built on. It feels very organic, in a way. Episode 6 is amazing in that sense. I'm also amazed at how much it manages to be emotional, thrilling, interesting, even if by know I kinda know every single thing that's coming. Great show. And it's the weaker season!
This season felt like they were more confident on everything: fun, violence, satire, drama, superhero stuff, crazy over the top set pieces. And the ending is great.
I watched this with my (almost) 5 years old and we had to stop after episode 26 because that's what we've got on Netflix. It's a lovely show, funny, visually cool, sometimes it really makes me laugh and my daughter loves it. She already was a huge fan of Wonder Woman but now also loves Supergirl.
Oh, and it's full of nice homages to DC comics, clearly put there for the geeky parent, which I guess is a plus.
I already loved the show but this season floored me. It's amazing from the first episode to the last one, it capitalizes so well on all the work done on characters and relationships, it's so good in showing (with writing, acting, directing) how much they all mean to each other, all the history they have. It's amazing to see how far they all have gone, how they developed, how real they feel. Episodes 7 and 8 blew me away: I expected it but I still was a mess, I was so amazed at how they were put together and they stayed with me (plus 8 reminded me of The Body from Buffy). 9 and 10 were an amazing finale, perfect in every moment, and they left everything and everybody in a lovely place. It's melancholic and sour but also uplifting and calming, in a way. This was an incredible show, it's up there with the best stuff I've ever watched and after a few days I can't stop thinking about it. Wow.
The amazing chemistry between cast members, the lovely writing, the humour, the tension, it's amazing.
Even on a rewatch that made me appreciate season 1 more, the upgrade on season 2 is palpable. After a couple of episodes to start the engines, it becomes amazing.
It's amazing how good and gripping it is even on a rewatch. And it's the weaker season!
A lovely final season, with a nice ending, some touching moments, and, as per usual, a couple of outstanding episodes. Plus, I appreciated the return of Kevin Tancharoen for the series finale: his action scenes have always been some of the best stuff this show had to offer and he didn't disappoint here. I also appreciate that they acknowledged how silly all these fake deaths have been and they joked about it but still, they've been doing it for too long and it stole all the feeling of danger and tension from the whole show. Still, it was fun.
Amazing stuff. Great writing, great acting, it works really well both as a drama about victims and a detective story. I loved it. Plus, Loretta McCready is in my heart.
Alwasy consistent and basically irresistible.
This is cute, lovely, fun, cute, full of nice teaching but most of all incredibly cute.
Honestly, this is boring as hell and even my daughter doesn't want to watch it.
I'm not sure how the season progression actually works because the order on Netflix is messed up but this gets better and better.
Funny, bizarre, full of crazy ideas, a good mix of slapstick gags for kids and idiotic humour for parents. Adorable.
