Ramy Youssef: More Feelings (2024 TV Special)
7/10
Constant spotlight is difficult to watch
26 March 2024
I thought it was really funny. I liked his series and this special is on brand. He manages to be heartfelt and funny at the same time. The problem is that 70 percent of the shots have a spotlight shinning behind him. It was unnecessary and honestly very distracting. It strained my eyes so I actually closed my eyes for parts to let my eyes rest while I listened to his comedy. Which is worth the distraction from the constant spotlight. I just would have preferred regular camera shots without the lighting behind it. Ramy's humor is smart and thoughtful. I would recommend to others but would worry the light will bother them too.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
6/10
It has turned into a soap opera
9 November 2022
I really loved the first few seasons but this last season is nothing more than a soap opera. Just like a soap opera, characters are constantly crying, getting angry, getting hurt, and being put into the same situations over and over. They are in the hospital, having secret encounters with old lovers, making the same plans and their world is ending but always in a slightly different way. Yet their world doesn't end and they find themselves is the same situation. No one learns lessons or makes better decisions. Everything is just recycled. It's old and exhausting. If you miss soap operas, this show is for you!
