The Orville (2017)
Happily surprised
I didn't put a lot of hope into this being good, I saw it was Seth McFarland and assumed it would over the top bathroom and easy crude humor. I was very happily incorrect. This is the star truck cousin I didn't realize I needed, it's not a parody like I thought it was it's really a modern star truck with a cast of much more believable personalities. It's funny without being over the top, it's corny science fiction without being ridiculous and and the story lines are very interesting. It also tackles some real world issues without with sci fi parables instead of being flat out and obnoxious about it. I really hope this continues on for a while, I'm up to the 6th episode of season 3 and it has yet to lose interest! Such a pleasant surprise, who knew Seth McFarland would do a better star truck than half of the star truck spin offs put out?!
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Very unsure...
I'm currently caught up on the show, I feel like it has potential as long as they stay true to what I call the "sci-fi laws of physics". I do fear they may have "written" more then they can chew and will eventually leave loose ends or just go bogus to attempt to tie them off. I remain hopeful.
These past maybe 3 episodes do have me wondering if this is a strange battlestar galactica rip off, the ancient "bio androids" the sol religion already being on the planet etc... If someone says "this has all happened before" I will stop watching.
Peacemaker (2022)
So much better then it should be
After seeing the suicide squad I wasn't at all planning to watch a spin off, the movies were all pretty lame in story and character development so the action and cheesy jokes just felt cheesy and a bit painful. However my boyfriend wanted to watch it so we did, after finishing the first episode I was in shock of how funny and well done it was, by the last episode of the first season I was nearly in tears crying "EAGALY!!" And burst in applause after the announcement of a season two. If you are on the fence to watch due to the mediocrity of the suicide squad movies, take the leap, this show is hilarious, action filled and shockingly has deep emotional range and great character development.
Beautiful Boy (2018)
True insight into addiction.
I am a heroin and meth addict with 3 years of sobriety. I currently work in a treatment center and I periodically show this movie in my groups, this movie is the best depiction I have ever seen of the life of addiction. It's heartbreaking to watch myself because it parallels my story very closely. The way addiction is shown is so raw and true, the overdoses, the shame, the guilt, the question of why that can never be answered. It's beautiful and heart wrenching, it's honestly not easy to watch but it is accurate (too a point, addicts know a few things that are a little wrong but that's small specifics) and the acting is phenomenal.
Skins: Pure: Part 2 (2013)
"That's all we get"
I don't understand why "pure" has the lowest rating of all the 7th season. Cassie is such a beautiful character, complex and interesting while still being simple and pure.
When Yaniv says to Jakob "that's all we get" I think it shows that of all the people who are around and taken in by Cassie he is somehow the only one who understands her. That scene is so powerful and so wonderfully sums up Cassie's character.
If you have been a "skins" fan from the beginning from the first two seasons which I think are the best, and if you do too, you will love "pure"
Gossip Girl (2007)
Does it bother anybody else...
Does it bother anybody else that other then the names and locations, this show has absolutely nothing to do with the books? if nobody has read them here's some examples just for starters, Jenny is supposed to be short have brown short curly hair and have huge boobs and is crazy about Nate. Vanessa should be bald, Rufus should be fat, and Dan should be a chain smoking poet! SOOO disappointing for those who expected this to be like the books, i'm sure the show is good but i would only be able to watch it if it was called something different and had different names. oh and just to show how incredibly different the characters are chuck is extremely guy and carries around a white monkey.
