Fire Country (2022– )

So bad that is fun

[4/10 · 2 January 2024]

Absurd plot, ridiculous characters, odd scenarios.

It's so idiotic is fun to watch and worths a try.

You won't be disappointed by the incredible family relationships, the "question mark face" story of protagonist.

Prone to wokeness and absurd, surely this show won't miss to light a smile in your face.

The environment is lovely, a small city in California,with good old people. The firefighters have to combat fire, lightings, floods, in a pawn surrounded of trees.

It's fun seeing people in front a forest in fire talk a lot instead of thrown water on it.

Also everybody questioning decision of the commander while woods are on fire.

The Glory (2022– )

Terrific!

[10/10 · 14 March 2023]

This is one of my favorite korean drama.

The story is excellent, characters are intense, the acting is terrific!

My favorite actress is Yeom Hye-ran, that performs the poor abused wife. I'm not an expert but I think his acting is far the best in this TV show.

Also other actors and actress are excellent, the main character, performed by Song Hye-Kyo, is so intense.

I liked very much the plot, the character design and the photograph of the scenes.

The run toward the riff of the evil bullies make you stick to the screen and you cannot leave.

I'm not used to binge a tv show, but in this case you cannot skip.

I Am the Abyss (2022)

Terrible acting

[3/10 · 23 February 2023]

First of all is my opinion that follows, my 2cents, I would say.

This movie has a compelling story and a decent director., Indeed, the director is very good, I think.

But, man, the acting is terrible.

Actors seem they are reading from a panel, they are not convincing at all.

I guess it could be an effect the director would to make up, I don't know, I'm not an expert. And I would say, if this was the intention, it has a secure effect.

But, I think some actors in some scenes appears like rookie amateur.

Sure I'm incompetent, and I shouldn't have such strong opinion. I wanted to share my impressions about this film.

Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)

Boring

[5/10 · 4 March 2022]

This is not what I want from a Star Trek adventure.

Please make less talking about philosophy and fire some phaser instead.

We want adventure, not lecture.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Too much chit chat and too little pew pew.

[6/10 · 4 March 2022]

Good show, but, my God, they talk a lot, they never stop make philosophy.

Please, use the phaser more than you use your mouth!

Stop with psy problems and make some adventure, that is what we want.

Earwig and the Witch (2020 TV Movie)

Ghibli, please stop

[2/10 · 22 November 2021]

This movie is an utter disaster.

The plot is inexistent. The 3D graphic is amateur level.

I know it is the Ghibli's first experiment with cgi, but I was expecting a minimum level of decency. Please, people from Ghibli studio's, stop make 3D and back to draw cartoon and magic.

Midsommar (2019)

Disappointing

[3/10 · 10 September 2021]

Great photography and direction.

Beautiful filming and acting.

But a movie should have a story behind the plot.

The final really disappointed me, nothing relevant happened.

I could say this movie only conveys anxiety and discomfort, not fear or emotion.

It is disturbing, but is not involving.

Army of the Dead (2021)

Total waste of time

[1/10 · 9 July 2021]

I'm sorry, the quality of direction and acting of this movie is quite decent.

But the plot is too dumb.

The amount of "this makes no sense" is too high!

This could have been a decent and fun movie, actually it is not enough.

The Strain (2014–2017)

Best vampire show ever

[10/10 · 9 July 2021]

This is the best monster/vampire tv show ever.

The plot is great, the character are astounding, the acting is very good.

Also the final is great, i've loved it so much.

Microbes and Men (1974– )

Must-see for everybody

[10/10 · 3 June 2021]

When I was a child, I saw this show and it impressed me for life.

I'm 55 year old now and I could see it again.

It's remarkable how I can remember scenes and quotes AFTER 45 years! You can imagine how much this show have leaved a deep print on me.

Us (II) (2019)

Great idea, poor plot

[6/10 · 11 January 2021]

What a shame, to waste a so big and cool idea for a very good horror movie. The director did a excellent job and the movie is very exciting. Also the acting is great and I liked very much. The flawed part is the plot, where the story became illogical and should be developed in a different way.

Mi hanno sputato nel milkshake (2020– )

Very interesting

[10/10 · 4 January 2021]

One good reason to follow this tv show: Aurora Ruffino. This tv show tells about italians millenials in Italy in 2020's. I'm not an expert but I think this could be a real masterpiece. The plot is interesting and promising, the style is light and funny. I enjoyed so much the first episode, and I'm lucky I could watch it in italian because I believe the language give to the acting a boost. I really hope for more episodes.

Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)

Disappointing, weird, embarrassing

[6/10 · 16 December 2020]

This show starts very well. The beginning is interesting and enjoyable. I liked the first half very much. The rest make a mess with the plot. The story became absurd, boring and unpleasant to follow. I really can't understand how the producers come up with such absurd plot. What a pity.

Away (2020)

Loveble disaster...

[10/10 · 7 September 2020]

This tv show is a disaster, but I really leved every minute. NASA select 5 problematic morons for a mission to Mars in a ship builded by drunk monkeys. Unrealistic and shallow, I really enjoyed the show, had much fun and I hope for a second season.

Tales from the Loop (2020)

Makes no sense

[1/10 · 12 April 2020]

The entire series makes no sense. I mean it. There is no plot of story. Nothing is revealed and there is no point. Don't watch it.

Tales from the Loop (2020)

No good

[1/10 · 12 April 2020]

After 4 episodes I dropped. No plot. No ideas. I don't know what is going on in this story.

Impulse (2018–2019)

Very exciting show

[10/10 · 17 October 2019]

A dumb teenager with a great power. I really enjoyed the plot and the suspence.

Les textiles (2004)

No plot, no twist, nothing.

[1/10 · 21 August 2019]

I'm sorry to say this movie doesn't have any story in it. No characters, no plot, no twist, no hotness, nothing. Only nudity, without any sense. Avoid this movie.

Another Life (2019–2021)

Idiotic but fun

[5/10 · 1 August 2019]

This is the most stupid sci-fi tv show ever made. But it's fun. You can watch it if you have some spare time.

Get Shorty (2017–2019)

One of the best

[10/10 · 26 March 2019]

One of the best TV show I've ever seen. The plot is so smart and characters are well constructed. I really loved Chris o'Dowd and Ray Romano together, a great duo. I really hope we can watch the third season, since the second one finished with an open final, very interesting.

The Rain (2018– )

Irritating characters

[1/10 · 6 May 2018]

I gave it chance until the 4th episode after deciding this it one of the most stupid shows I ever watched. The plot is interesting, but the characters are so annoying and irritating that they make me feel angry. Everybody in the show are acting so dumb you can't stop thinking: "But... WHY?". Don't waste your time, don't watch it.

Lost in Space (2018–2021)

This is not The Big Bang Theory

[4/10 · 17 April 2018]

Great effects for a poor plot. All characters are geniuses but they make stupid decisions everytime. That it is good if the show is "The Big Bang Theory", but in this case bring the watcher to say "oh no!" at every scene. It is very annoying and boring at the end.
