Lately this has been feeling rather uninspired
Copying and pasting what’s been in the US news for the past few years doesn’t make any kind of interesting commentary that hasn’t been done a thousand times already
It takes a bit more of imagination and moral digging to make something impactful other than having supes as an added synonym for privilege

Conclusion: economy=psychology
Other than that it still was an enjoyable close to the show

It was pointing in some right directions, but in the end it's just less sharp than it thinks itself to be
I wouldn't say subtle, because it's not at any point pretending to be anything less than in your face

This was definitely the siblings' episode and it was amazing. Fucking Shiv's coming! Yeah it's not like I don't understand Tom and feel for him and such, but I'm team Roy children for some reason because I'm too attached by now to ever root for anyone else above them. Roman's heart breaking on camera was pretty chilling to watch, too

I was starting to doubt whether they could blow my mind for the finale when the setting for it didn't seem like the most high stakes ever. I was once again proven that trusting the people in charge of making this will always be the right choice

Sibling conflict finally at its finest. Man, it breaks my heart and I love it.
Chills
This might end up at the top of the whole show with all that tension so meticulously handled.
Also, Alexander Skarsgard, yet another great guest actor that almost goes unnoticed while being the guiding theme of the episode

Roman has come a long way from season 1. So much more now behind the clown, he has become quite an interesting player.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ended at the top, just because he is the only sibling willing to sneak through the nasty shit and still come on top like his father

I feel Shiv getting closer by each episode to getting pushed away, similarities with Kendall arising faster. Maybe by the end of the season we'll get a sibling alliance? Will he forgive her for trashing him personally if it's in the interest of ending with their father's reign?

Literal chills. Nicholas Brittel has outdone himself once more with this season's soundtrack
Waiting to see how Kendall crashes this season and quite surprised with Roman's humanity here

This was a good show, and I liked this idea of "endless trauma" that they're going with, but I can't help but feel like I liked it much better at the beginning than this final episode
It starts with a punch, and it ends with a fade

So. It really was a bunch of bored rich dudes after all

Wow isn't it fun all that misogyny plus killing good characters in a way that hurts the most, all in the same episode

Booo, no murderous games this episode
also, out of all those 201 players, they're divided just in the middle between continuing the game or not
what a coincidence
very likely

I'm not unhappy they get a happy ending per se, but what a f*ing decaffeinated ending for a story that was going so strong

Even if it's just in Frances' writing (which is a theory I don't dislike), it still feels lacking in execution and packing a punch. Particularly Masha's resolution

I was really enjoying this so far with its flaws, but this episode was truly terrible
Julien and Zoya are behaving inconsistently for the whole hour, and the conflict is so sloppy... a huge mess

Again, why am I still watching this show?

So brutal and emotional. Invincible/Mark works perfectly as the stereotypically good main character we love to follow

Maybe it wasn't the most well-rounded episode of the season (which only speaks of the level of the other episodes) but it has one of the key parts of Rue and Nate's characters. And that ending!

I just know that this show is my fucking religion now

I liked this way more than I was expecting. I kinda feel that the characters have more potential than the supernatural plot, though

Who would have though there's a world outside the US/UK?
Certainly not me during this mockumentary

Just entertaining enough, mostly worth it for Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. It starts way stronger than it ends

Though it's curious to see that when they get to May and the BLM they switch to documentary and patch it up with a couple of bad, evident jokes about a racist Karen, a black Boris Johnson and such, all traces of subtlety and acid humor gone for practically the rest of the film.
I mean it's December, we've already seen plenty of pieces about it months ago, and much better ones. It wasn't funny nor informative.
And I wasn't eager to hear all about the election for 25 minutes straight either just a mere month later.

I won't say this is bad, but I'll say that probably most Agatha Christie's fans won't like it
unless they're ok with a more somber take on the story and a more brooding, humorless Poirot

So, Claudia wins Dark, not Adam, not Eve

This is a classic Rick and Morty episode. Simple (for the standards of this show) but very good

Someone please call Rick to erase the image of them making out from my memory

I'm not sure how I feel about this episode.
Meta content and fast paced jokes that olny sink in at the exact time they want you to so everything clicks toguether into place? I'm into it.
Maybe they took it a bit too far this time? At the end of the episode I felt like I only got about 30% of it, and I don't usually feel that lost after a Rick and Morty episode as overwhelmingly awesome some have been
I like this episode a lot for the plot, but the pacing is what didn't convince me as much this time

Season 1: the question isn't how, it's when
Season 2: the question isn't when it's from which world

I don't know how Season 3 is going to end but by now I would consider everyone dying at the end a happy ending

I call BS on Adam. I bet Jonas did that every time and either failed or became the cause of his father's suicide

I'm a fan of Noah braiwashing himself, self-sufficient to the bone

In the end, they get away with everything, so in that way the show is very true to its title
The closest thing to paying for their crimes is a character's death or murder

It's refreshing to come across an interesting show where teenagers aren't annoying by default
The story is very compelling, but I still found myself a cuople of tiemes checking how much time was left
I wonder if now that the characters and the place are presented the story will have a slightly faster pace
