Sex Education: Episode 5 (2023)
Cringe
Otis is useless, selfish af, absolutely shallow, his story line is worthless and irritating. Wanna be a therapist but acts like the most entitled kid unable to have a single, just one, healthy relationship.
The funeral thing was cringe and pointless, the woman of the funeral home seems out of a 2005 comic movie, all the comedy part was just cringe and avoidable.
They are overcomplicating everything and there is no way they can sort everything out in 3 episodes:
- Otis suddenly cannot have sex
- Eric and the church
- Meave and the writing thing
- Adam and the horse girl, Adam and the parents
- The full list of shallow, worthless, new characters
Either the next 3 episodes are 3h long or this is going to end up in a worthless mess. Everything that was good from previous seasons is lost. Maybe just a hint of Amy's storyline is developing.
Let's bet that new storylines will pop out also in the next episodes.
Io capitano (2023)
Intense, heartbreaking, but a little too fast
It's really hard to watch, as a privileged European. Being that comfortable, in a movie theatre, knowing that everything you see is true and is happening right now to people that was just born on the other side of our common sea, makes your stomach sick.
I loved it, and yet I don't know if I could see it again. Makes you feel helpless.
On the bad side (yes the other one was the good sire), it is too fast on some parts, you feel like they are skipping a lot. The story was probably just too long to be told in 2h. Some characters are not developed enough, they lack depth. I also felt like the true story was a little sweetned, to make it easier to watch.
The F**k-It List (2020)
Rich boy does stupid thing and runs with dad money
But all of that with a romance-teen drama music so that it looks very deep.
Summary: entitled idiot ruins his own future and, as a "true rebel" and "anticonformist" ends up traveling the world with his girlfriend, alla at his dad expenses.
What a trully ispiring story! Gotta go back and be born from a rich family, so that I can be myself and travel the world to discover who I am!
Apart from this (literally all the story line), this is just an average teen drama about discovering who you are. It is just absolutely stupid and not educative at all, as there is zero sense of reality in it. At the least, if your mom&dad are not rich enough.
Strappare lungo i bordi (2021)
Masterpiece.
Never liked that much Zerocalcare's comics. But this is something as its own.
A masterpiece and a step forward in adult animation. With a few word and a silly animation it can teleport you from a light scene into something far deeper. Never found a serie that can give you such feeling as this one. You can clearly feel what the author means, which are his feelings ans why he feels that way. It's incredibly immersive.
International viewers will probably lose a lot of peculiar expressions, as also the dialect he uses . But I think this can be an incredible serie even in english.
Rick and Morty: Mortyplicity (2021)
Great season start
This gave me the usual Rick and Morty too-intricate-to-understand vibes. Is a pointless episode and still incredibly fun. I loved how different storylines crossed and ended in nothing. It has just no goal, no main storyline, it's a loop based on the same concepts we saw in the fourth season.
