Instant Dream Home (2022)
most absurd home makeover concept ever
Wow! This is the most absurd, most contrived home makeover show concept ever! Honestly I don't think anyone can top this. The obviously faked rush, the obviously faked surprise.. Family intro videos are clearly recorded very meticulously by the production crew but we are supposed to believe they are just candid videos taken by the family? The charade of "we're not gonna make it" and then bam! Everything is ready and pristine once the family arrives.. Waaay over the top, extremely cringey antics of the host. Nothing makes sense. Even the team doesn't make sense. Of course the most ridiculous aspect is that "we've got 12 hours" nonsense just to make it exciting, which makes everything ridiculous.
Hack My Home (2023)
mostly impractical but entertaining
I had fun watching the show. It was a welcome distraction despite the fact that the hacks were mostly BS. I mean more than half of the hacks the team came up with were either impractical or dysfunctional or downright dangerous. And the useful ones were mostly very pricey for regular folks. Still it was fun to watch interesting/weird solutions implemented and find some inspiration here and there. But if they make a new season, they should at least avoid hacks moving vertically (and oh my god moving slowly at that). Also, I should say it just hurts to see stools provided as dining chairs, come on team!
Schmigadoon! (2021)
bad jokes, bad songs, what is the point?
I love musicals and yet I stopped watching this show in Episode 2. I honestly don't know what kind of a mindset is required to find this show funny because for me it just plainly sucked. So much so that it didn't make me smile even once. And I love comedies. Moreover, the songs are bad too. As in unremarkable and extremely boring. Ironically, I empathized with the Keegan's character in hating the songs. Was that the point? I mean 1-2 boring songs to make this point would be understandable but what would be the idea in making all song sequences so boring to the point that makes the viewer go uurggggh. Uh to think that I was so looking forward to see this show. Stellar cast and production crew, doing a musical comedy series. But unfortunately it sucked more than a bad local theatre production.
The Rehearsal (2022)
peak of creativity: synecdoche new york + nathan for you
This is a very funny show for the pretentious "I get it!" crowd, or in other words "I can see the king is not naked, whoever says so is an idiot" people. They even call this original while it is "synecdoche new york - the series" a la Nathan Fielder style. I don't think Nathan Fielder would deny he is inspired by the movie, since it is painfully obvious. I didn't like the movie either but with the movie, at least you get some good acting, cinematography etc. With this show, you get a stuttering non-actor trying to impress his followers by feigning being awkward, and feigning really hard at that. But the fact is the king is naked and this show is not funny at all, but just an awfully boring time waste.
Bridgerton (2020)
garbage filled with yawn inducing cliches
All the raving reviews here say "switch your brain off before watching". perhaps i just dont know how to do that LOL. dont get me wrong, i'm all for fun to watch garbage shows. watched many of them on netflix etc. but this was not fun at all. riddled with cliches all over. and what they tried to do with a mashup of gossip girl and jane austen and downton abbey + sex appeal doesnt work one bit. it is actually more like an insult if you happened to watch downton abbey. im also not against imagined reality but writers need to be consistent and crafty with it. it worked in "the great" but it doesnt work here.
Mayrig (1991)
Just a Single Word: "MASTERPIECE"!!!
A piece of art from the talented director Henry Vernoil.A great distortion of truth.A perfect self-sided view to such an important event.The film totally smells "hate&revenge".The trick that telling the story as the real memories of his own parents is so wise.A "Must See" film for Armenians, but only for Armenians!
