Dare Me (2019– )

I don't think I'll ever be content with all the one-trait characters after this show. I LOVE IT TOO MUCH

[10/10 · 3 April 2020]

Reading the comments of people that didn't like it breaks my heart but I also get them, which is weird. It's definitely not a show that's for everyone. It's obviously queer but people that expect more gay scenes to be involved say its queer-baiting. The story is slow, which I get, can be seen as boring but at least to me it took me around 3 episodes to actually like Beth and if anything bad had had happened before I wouldn't have felt sad for her at all. On top of that, the characters. I've never seen that we'll thought of characters! They all have amazingly annoying flaws like that Beth is super insensitive and Addy is blind concerning everything that happens with Coach (I know that's part of manipulation though). But I'm completely biased with all of them!!! Right now I actually feel like I'll won't be able to watch normal shows anymore cause the characters are almost always so blank.... The good girl, the mean girl and here you really can't say stuff like that. They all are so flawed and so complex and the characters are actually written that good that I actually even understand Coach... I don't know why I write this here, I just really need a season two

Gray Matters (I) (2006)

Rating this movie is harder than expected

[7/10 · 3 November 2018]

So actually I really didn't like the movie.. I don't like exaggeration in movies overall and I feel like the actress that played Gray overexaggerated to much. But then, somehow, after about 50 minutes I started liking the movie. Until then, for me, it was like a bad, not really funny, rom-com.. but then it got a deeper meaning. It was less about two people (or 3?) falling in love but about self-discovery.

So for me this is a movie I will recommend this way (to mostly people of the LGBTQ+ community): "You're probably wanna stop watching it at one point or another, but that would be a mistake. In the end you're gonna be happy that you watched this movie"
