This is where it goes from great to amazing. The whole docks storyline is incredibly well written and acted and the way it also works on moving everything around for the overarching plot that will go on in the following years is great stuff.
It ties up a lot of storylines from previous seasons in a great way, while also introducing a whole new universe (the politics stuff) and some new characters and plotlines for the following seasons. The Stringer Bell/Avon Barksdale plot is really great but I also loved all the arcs for the cops. One of the best things? McNulty arrived in season 1 looking like (and thinking he was) the great white saviour but in the end he's the most messed up of all of them.
It's fine. It's just fine.
I'm not sure who needs someone else saying that this is the best season of The Wire and one of the best seasons of television ever but fuck yeah it is. The school theme is amazingly added to the show, it merges perfectly with everything else going on and it's excruciatingly perfect drama. By the end of the season you are literally scared to see what's gonna happen.
I understand it being a disappointment after the masterpiece that was season 4, but this is still an incredibly good ending for this show, that ties up everything in such a lovely and moving way.
A fun show, full of lovely easter eggs, with some nice surreal humour and a plot I actually ended up almost caring about.
A lovely collection of shorts. Some are beautiful, some are very good, some are just fine, but they are all interesting, well crafted and different in terms of style, themes and emotions.
A nice second season, with a beautiful short and four other nice ones. Getting only five is a bit disappointing, though.
Well, first of all, how nice it is to "be" in Hawaii for six hours. That being said, this is a very good show, wonderfully acted, funny, entertaining, sad, with lots of stuff to say, even if sometimes it's a bit goofy in how it says those things. It kinda does the Succession trick of making you care for people you despise because you nonetheless can see some humanity, some part of yourself, in them. And Alexandra Daddario deserves a better career.
Friday Night Lights but silly, optimistic and fun.
Such a step up from the already great first season in how all characters evolve and are dissected. Even the minor ones.
What a great, fun, lovely show. The cast is perfect, those two guys still have impeccable timing in their comedy instincts, the mystery plot is interesting and fun with all the misdirections and on a couple of occasions it made me almost suffocate with laughter. I hope they don't mess it up in season 2.
Great acting, great writing, so many funny scenes and so much depths. Plus, I so want to spend many years with these people. It's one of those shows.
I'm astonished by the rapidity with which this goes from "Interesting, fun, at times quite deep" in the first half of the season to "What the fuck, this is a masterpiece" in the second hallf of the season.
The usual MCU good but not great stuff.
Six episodes of slow, masterful buildup and then three fucking masterpieces.
Lots of ups and downs for half a season, it gets back on track in the second half, when it starts fucking around with the formula.
A return to form from first to last episode.
A lovely show, that makes both me and my daughter laugh so much with its monty pythonesque humour but is also touching, lovingly real, crazily imaginative. What a huge surprise.
They should have squeezed the first three episodes in a bottle episode during The Mandalorian season 2 and then they should have used the storyline of the last three episodes as The Mandalorian Christmas Special. Maybe, that way, it wouldn't be boring as shit. Instead, we got the usual, well produced, moderately fun, moderately boring, kinda wasted opportunity we tend to get from Star Wars/MCU TV shows, just a little more boring than usual.
Do not get me wrong: there's some good stuff and some fun stuff in here and I'm kinda fascinated by the idea they are basically making one big "Tatooine Tales" TV Show with different titles in different seasons, but really, this was tolerable only because I decided to watch it while doing laundry.
It takes a couple of (quite good nonetheless) episodes to really get on track but then it becomes a very, very, very good show, extremely funny, sad, deep and light at the same time. Really lovely. Plus, it could have absolutely worked as a single season, with a very nice ending, so I'm curious to see what he did in season 2.
Like season 1, this takes a couple of episodes to really become good and I have to say after the beautiful ending of season 1 that was a bit hard to swallow. But then it gets back on track and delivers some great moments. I cannot stand the therapist, though. I don't think he's that funny and it's the only character with no real development or usefulness in the overarching story.
What an amazing show! Visually stunning, full of ideas, easter egg, homages, and so frigging funny. I loved watching it with my daughter.
This starts really out of whack, the first three episodes really don't work in terms of gags and drama. Too much. But then it finds a balance and it becames a really good final season, funny, heartfelt and with nice closure for all characters.
What a great ending for a lovely show. It's a pity some of the actors couldn't return (I didn't miss the therapist though) but the writing, acting and directing is better than ever. And that final image...
The first couple of episodes didn't completely work for me but by the end I was fully in love with the cast and characters, the tone, the overall mood, the plt and the action. This is way better than any MCU show, apart maybe from Loki.
I didn't love the first couple of episodes but then it found its rhythm and it became quite good. The final stretch is emotional, funny, smart and overall it's a very good companion to Big Mouth.
The first three episodes are beautiful but a bit of a slog. It's purposeful though, because it immerses you in the mood and then everything speeds up. And what a great show! Impeccably shot, with great acting, a very interesting plot, fascinating themes and such a good work on charachters and relationships. Can't wait for season 2.
This is a smart and very well acted show with all the ups and downs of an anthology series. When it works, it's great, when it doesn't, you still kinda like it for trying. I probably would have liked it more if it wasn't a bit less on the nose, but maybe it's just me.
OK, the second half of the season is a bit better, especially the final couple of episodes.
