Queer as Folk (2022)

Good intentions bad result

[5/10 · 19 August 2022]

I really really want to like this show, but the characters are so arrogants, empties, cockies... so many cliches and stereotypes in the script... After two or three episodes we just don't care about anyone in this new and bad version of Queer as folk (well, at least the soundtrack is good)

Animal Kingdom: Incoming (2018) Season 3, Episode 8

Brilliant

[10/10 · 18 August 2022]

This episode show us why we love this show. Smurf's come back shakes the family structure. Ellen Barkin is wonderful in this ep. I love the chemistry between the actors.

The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)

A fantastic season 1... A terrible season 2

[4/10 · 14 June 2022]

What happened? How they could ruin a so good show? The script is bad, three or four episodes and nothing happens. They insist on interrupting the scenes with those boring lots of Cassie, all the time, in the middle of something important going on. Gosh, the excelent cast deserved best writers.

The First Lady (2022)

Much more than Viola Davis' lips

[9/10 · 12 June 2022]

Unfortunately, making jokes about the mouth of Viola Davis seems to be the principal cause of so many bad reviews here. Well, for me this show brings so more. Every episode has a theme related to the three First Ladies in touching stories. Ok, I agree, Michele Pfeifer is really amazing, but not only. Gillian and Viola are good too, as usual by the way, and the show is much more than someone getting annoyed with Viola Davis' lips.

Stranger Things: Chapter Four: Dear Billy (2022) Season 4, Episode 4

A masterpiece

[10/10 · 6 June 2022]

Gosh, this episode is amazing, especially those last 20 minutes. The whole sequence of Max and Vecna is one of those magic moments of entertainment. I was breathless and emotional at the same time. Sadie Sink, so young, give us a spectacular performance.

Heartstopper (2022– )

Like a hug

[10/10 · 23 April 2022]

This show is so nice and positive. Better saying, it is necessary. What wonderful and adorable young cast. Amazing performances, script, soundtrack. A joy. I was not expecting anything special, but it was a huge surprise and I couldn't stop watching.

Queen of the Universe (2021–2023)

So many talents

[10/10 · 19 April 2022]

I thought this show amazing. Wonderful performances! Those drag queens are so good! A fantastic judge panel. Unfortunately, too short, only 6 episodes. Ada Vox had the most beautiful voice, but Grag Queen had the whole package, since the very beginning.

Inventing Anna (2022)

Anna Chlumsky's thousands faces

[7/10 · 12 March 2022]

Not so bad in general, but too long... Julia Garner is always good, but Anna Chlumsky, gosh, so bad acting. Her facial expression is so exaggerated, faces and faces and faces. Watching her scrunch her face up was really annoying.

Station Eleven (2021–2022)

Haters love to hate

[10/10 · 14 February 2022]

This show is amazing. Don't believe in those bad reviews. Wonderful editing, soundtrack and writing and a bunch of excellent actuations. Mackenzie Davis is fantastic.

19-2: School (2015) Season 2, Episode 1

A must-see

[10/10 · 29 September 2021]

This ep is so tense and intense. I couldn't breathe.

Made in Italy (2020)

A good bad movie

[6/10 · 24 July 2021]

You have already seen this movie a lot of times. Ok, it is a huge cliche from the beginning until the end but Made in Italy has something...

Clouds (I) (2020)

Beautiful

[9/10 · 3 July 2021]

So beautiful and so sad, only those heartless will not like this movie.

The Underground Railroad (2021)

The book is better

[6/10 · 26 June 2021]

Ok, the book is always better. And it is here too. So many new elements were created in this show and I understand products for television or cinema are not literature, they have a completely different language and approach, but not sure those new events and characters work in this case. The show is much more melodramatic, although still heavy. It's good but try the book.

Elite: El nuevo orden (2021) Season 4, Episode 1

Pop and empty

[4/10 · 26 June 2021]

A huge videoclipe. Same characters, different actors, bad dialogues. More of the same. Boring boring boring.

Six Feet Under (2001–2005)

Preciousness

[10/10 · 13 December 2020]

I think it is one of my 5 favorites series. Everything is wonderful in this show. Most powerful season finale ever.

To the Lake: Episode #1.5 (2019) Season 1, Episode 5

Best episode so far

[10/10 · 13 December 2020]

The best episode so far. So tense, delicate and violent at same time. These people from the small village are so interesting. Great script!

Homecoming (2018–2020)

Awckward, intelligent, experimental

[10/10 · 31 July 2020]

Magnificent script, great actings. If you are looking for some different, experimental and intelligent show, Homecoming is this kind of entertainment. Second season is even better than first.

Hollywood (2020)

Utopical

[10/10 · 3 May 2020]

Of course is not accurate, of course there is a "lack of realism", it is an obvious fantasy, an Utopia. What could happen if things were different since 40's? Try to be not so realistic and you will enjoy this show.

The Crown (2016– )

Amazing show

[10/10 · 2 October 2019]

A study of power and vulnerability. Foy and Lithgow are superb.
