Gary Oldman said he's ready for retirement and he will only act in Slow Horses until it ends. And that's it: he's old, he's got other things to do. I agree, especially because I twenty years younger and I've been feeling the same way for ten years already. And anyway, it's a good way to go out: he's amazing, the show is ambitious (that first sequence!), tense, entertaining, and the whole cast is pitch perfect. Great fun.
1 & 2 were interesting but kinda dull, 3 & 5 were very, very good, 4 was amazing, 6 was quite good despite the 15 minutes exposition monologue by Jonathan Majors (who makes it tolerable by hamming it up to a hundred... and anyway, they had to do it, since they had decided to hide him for five episodes). Overall, even though Wandavision still has got some of the best ideas and scenes, Loki was the best and most consistent Marvel TV show, with nice characters and interesting storylines. I loved being with those three weirdos, I thought the romance was bizarre and cute and I can't wait to see Majors going wild in season 2. Also, they did what I feared they would do with the ending but it actually worked very well, much more than I expected, because its' first of all a season ending that introduces the villain for season 2, and only on a secondary reading it's also the setup for other MCU stuff. What I feared is that this would only be a setup for the movies, kinda like a longer version of the Thanos stinger in Avengers 1, but no, it's a proper season ending that also works as an MCU stinger. Which is how it should always be. And it made me excited for things to come more than most MCU stingers.
Jesus, what an amazing ending.
Is it just me or did this become even more crappy?
Even better than season one: the humour is more on point, the themes are very well tackled (and probably more relevant now than when the show was written) and the acting is getting better.
Another great adaptation (even though I kinda miss the dialogue about penises size between Hap and Florida) and a more emotional story than season one. It's fun, tense, thematically strong, visually interesting (even though Jim Mickle is clearly missed) and very well written. The cast is fabulous and the atmosphere is great. I can't wait for season three.
A great adaptation that gets basically everything that counts right. The cast is perfect, the feel is sweaty, dialogues are spot on and it's a lot of fun.
That little hand at the end of episode five.
He's cheesy as hell and the honorable woman is clearly out of his league, but the night manager is a fun chap.
Funny and clever, it's classic Woody and the characters are adorable, but honestly I hoped for something more.
I wanted to believe because back then I loved the comicbook but this show is nothing more than a decent thing I would have watched ten years ago but is not enough in today's TV landscape. I still wanted to go on watching it but then they canceled it and so #solong
The Olaf expo dump was probably the best comical moment in Frozen II and they already reused in the post credits scene, so of course they had to do a miniseries based on different Disney classics. They kinda remind me of those old commercials for Lilo & Stitch but these are even more nonsensical thanks to Josh Gad improvising stuff all the time. And he should do that, this shit is funny. My favourite is the Tangled one.
Visually it goes from some nice things (mainly in the backgrounds department) to some awful stuff (mainly the characters). The writing is a bit clunky and pretentious, but at the same time the adaptation from the games is well made. It needs a little less silly monologues and a bit more action, possibly with a bigger budget, but the last two episodes show some potential. I kinda think that from season two it could be fun.
Always interesting and fascinating. Plus, two out of four chefs are not that pretentious. That's not bad.
Ava DuVernay has got the delicate touch of an elephant and the level of cheesiness is out of the park. Still, the first two episodes are really, really good, engaging and moving, quite thrilling if you don't already know how it went. Episode three is really the worst one, too much easy melodrama and really schematic in its structure. It gets a bit better in the final episode, thanks to the "prison drama" approach. Overall, it's an interesting and important series for sure but I think I would have preferred a different approach. Maybe it's just that I don't like DuVernay.
A nice show, well acted and decently directed, maybe a bit too on the nose in the way it talks about contemporary issues.
I watched the first three episodes and it was like looking into the abyss that haunts my soul.
It's visually amazing but I watched three episodes and I found it sooo boring.
Honestly, this is boring as hell and even my daughter doesn't want to watch it.
In all honesty, I only started watching it because I need to practice my French but I have to say it was quite good, decently written and with interesting plots. Now I'm curious about the other ones.
The production value is always high and Idris Elba is alwasy Idris Elba, but this honestly felt like an empty filler. Plus, I miss Ruth Wilson.
I was watching the first episode, I found it dull, childishly written, incapable of giving depth to story and characters... after 30 minutes I gave up.
I watched the first episode and it surprised me in how it was able to (mostly) avoid the easy trashyness it could have gotten into. I also liked the choice of de-masking Master Chief, if only because it would make people angry, even though I see Pablo Schreiber and I think Pornstache. I never watched episode two.
A nice second season, with a beautiful short and four other nice ones. Getting only five is a bit disappointing, though.
This is a lovely show, funny, smart and with a nice art style. The opening theme has been singed many times in our house and we still sing Simon's improvisation at the guitar (Caca boudin, super lapin, bébé cadum, la tarte aux pommes). <3
