Let me hijack my own comment to update it after all is said and done.
This has been one fantastic show that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone that can "stomach" an american sitcom. Over those 6 seasons you will learn to love the characters on this show and miss them dearly when it's all over! But fear not, it has a bitter-sweet end and the show is not ripped out of existence like many other shows. 9/10, would shop there again!


Oh god, seems the show won the renewal bingo....
"NBC has renewed @AmericaFerrera's #Superstore for Season 2" :D

The Grand Tour: 1x01 The Holy Trinity

The cinematography and production design is still SO MUCH on point, I love it! This is just car porn all around.
Glad to have those 3 idiots back and while this might not have had the best talk/celebrity parts in it, it only was the first episode and hopefully there are better one's to come regarding that... certainly looking forward to everything that's yet to come! :D

Star Trek Into Darkness

You know, I kinda liked the first movie in the reboot series while my friends that saw it in the cinema back then with me absolutely hated it. We were similar Star Trek fans and enjoyed the franchise up to that point equally as much I'd say. Yes, I liked the first one even tho it was a farcry from the older material and left the feeling that the writers and Abrams didn't really "get" the Star Trek universe and just kinda created yet another "new" action franchise.

But this? I'm almost disgusted by the pandering and ridiculous try at "fan-service" in this movie. The references, the "role-reversal", the whole copying of material and characters from older movies with "a twist" and what not. A shame. How about something original and not another silly revenge story THAT WE ALREADY KINDA HAD?
WHY create a alternate universe if we are going to re-tread old ground and that even badly?
The movie was a mess, I don't know what the writers were thinking, not even gonna mention Abrams, can we just not give him movies or tv shows in the future please? (and that ship crashing into Alcatraz... what was he trying to tell us there?! good lord...)

As a Star Trek fan I feel insulted after watching this and if they are not going to come up with something new and original for the next movie this certainly was the last one I watched in this alternate timeline and will just start to pretend that it never existed.

Amazing high-point of the show so far, crossing my fingers they can top this some day but even if not... I will remember this one!

SEAL Team: 2x19 Medicate and Isolate

Tough episode, highlighting some serious issues. More care and effort for the dead than for the living.
Too bad it will not change a thing in the fucked up VET and VA system in the US... this episode deserves an emmy, maybe then somebody would notice it.

STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie

This documentary may not have been treading new ground regarding Michael J. Fox's history BUT the way it was edited and presented was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommended.

2 episodes in and I don't hate it!
Looking at the trailer it looked more than questionable and I just started watching because of Gina Rodriguez AND Hannah Simone but yeah.... those 2 episodes so far were not terrible. It's a really old-school format but the humor is ok and the characters are better than what the trailer might make them look like at first. I doubt that this will go past a single season but that might be fine actually.

Edit:
First season done and who would've thought this silly little show could be so good. :)
So yeah, don't be turned off by the trailer or anything, if you're in the mood for a new short and entertaining, funny show, give a few episodes of this a go, you might quite enjoy it! I know I did!

Edit2:
The show apparently has been picked up for a 2nd season! Wonder how that will pan out but now that the writer strike is also over it might even make it for a comeback next spring? We'll see.

Good Time

"Why do you have to be such a fucking little prick all the time man?"

That pretty much sums up the movie for me. Not entirely sure why everyone seems to enjoy this movie, I fucking hated the guts of pretty much every character in it, esp. Connie. What a piece of shit. It was completely over when he started creeping on the 16 yo girl and tried to statutory rape her... no redeeming quality's in this, at all.
Nothing particularly good about the movie, story or anything else, either - soundtrack was kinda ok I guess.
Can't say I had a particularly "good time" with this.

Pretty happy that they picked this up for a second season, some of the episodes in the later ark of the first season have been pretty stellar.

Bright

Man I really don't know what to say about this. Had some strong ideas but was bogged down by some weird editing and some things I just can't put my finger on. As HarboeJacob said, this as a series? Sign me up. Flesh that shit out some more and get it rolling. Maybe that was just Netflix testing the waters? If the movie is successful enough there might be a show in this, I'd be watching that, doesn't even need to have Smith in it tbh.

Really, REALLY pretty indeed. I can hardly recall a recent movie that had such brilliant set-, costume- and art-design in general. Very well worth a watch even if only for that.

Music selection for this episode was ON POINT. Been loving it ever since the first episode but damn, this was one especially great selection... who sneaked in my last.fm profile and stole all my loved tracks?!

Life Sentence

Almost glad they cancelled this. While the premise sounded intriguing and fresh to begin with it turned into the same mess as pretty much any CW show these days and that stupid will they/won't they nonsense got on my nerves quickly. Lucy Hale will find something new soon anyway, good luck girl!

Since I'm highly invested in KPop I can say that this was a pretty damn interesting episode with quite a few bits of new information and really well done & researched. Keep that coming and I'm sure to be back on a weekly basis!

Operation Red Sea

Look. If you can ignore some of the Chinese propaganda (honestly, we've seen this for 50 years from the Americans now, why are the Chinese not allowed to do the same?) and some of Chinas ulterior motives in the south china sea, then you are getting a fucking insane non-stop 2 hour+ action galore here. Operation Mekong was pretty crazy already but THIS is next level. Considering some of the garbage from china I've seen in the last year, this is WAY above all of that. Fantastic production values, a good FX budget and some crazy on-location shot's in Morocco that you simply have not seen in anything from China yet. Also the gore and mutilation in this was something I absolutely did not expect.

So yeah, watch if for the non-stop action and have a good time!

That might actually be the best Netflix movie to date. Realistic work which shows a chapter of largely forgotten Irish military and UN history, kudos.

Rams

So I've just seen the english trailer for this and they are selling it as if it's such a comedic laughfest?? That is such a shame since many ppl will watch this with totally wrong expectations and will be "disappointed". Something the movie has absolutely not deserved since it's such an incredible human drama... too bad, really. I enjoyed it wholeheartedly, esp. with that ending.
