Sex and the City (2008)
The forced drama, the consumerism, the vanity
It's hard to handle the forced drama, the ridiculous coincidences, the consumerism, the vanity. The product placement. The stereotype jokes that dated badly. The tokenization of the queer. The insane double standards that favor women. The thoughtless stigmatization of regular men's feelings. The perpetuation of patriarchy, the implied notion of the wealth expected of men. The constant, adolescent-like screaming. The cringe. It's all just too much. It may have helped to emancipate women in 2000s, but by 2022 it's wildly inaccurate and harmful. Dated horribly. If men were a bit more empowered to be publicly vocal about their feelings, this show and the subsequent money-grabbing theatrical releases would get more sh*jt. Deservedly.
Life in Colour (2021)
Don't understand the reasoning behind the third episode
It feels like this whole series was just edited lazily. The third episode should have been incorporated into the other two, but instead is repetitive, containing the same exact species, cuts, information and dialogues, with a bit of a "behind the scenes ". It just doesn't seem right.
The Mitchells vs the Machines (2021)
Loved it until I saw jumping toasters
It was a cool science-fiction until the jumping toasters, fridges and vending machines.
Night on Earth (2020)
All over the place
Every sentence is pronounced with such an overdone drama it's simply annoying to watch. There's too much everything, too many cuts, too much monologue, too much storytelling - and not enough facts. But it's the music that I found the most annoying. Partly Planet Earth with modern classical, partly Hollywood CGI sound effects (seriously?), and electronic music in between - in almost every single scene! TOO. MUCH. It seems to me that it was directed by a fresh-out-of-school wannabe director who, for his first assignment, took the classics of the genre, studied them, made a bullet point list of must-haves, chose a slightly new subject ("Night") and made sure that no box went unchecked. Ended up with an over-saturated, almost caricature-level grotesque of the works of BBC or even Netflix's own Blue Planet.
