Secrets & Sisterhood: The Sozahdahs (2023)
OMG, My jaw is stuck open
I do not know where to start. Just be a another reality show but do not bring any of the true Afghani culture and Islam in it. I was compelled to make my own judgement of this show after being brought to it from a YouTube review. I do not want this type of TV at all. So, I cannot review it with a non-bias perspective. Whoever the producer and director is needs to have their creative license reevaluated. They should be ashamed to bring to light such a blatant inaccuracy to pop culture. This is just a a countless example what people will do for money. Not just the actors but also individuals who brought this series to HULU. For the viewers who have any bit of intellectual minds would be disgusted of this trash. Of course there must be a small population of individuals who approve or else this series would never have been made. Those who want to watch will watch and others will not watch.
Snowfall (2017)
Immerse yourself in the story
Those who grew up in this generation will love the nostalgia. This series will not disappoint at all. And for those that cannot relate there is a lot of content to keep you coming for more. Ample amount of character building and you get to know each of their significance and background. The main characters has their own substory/struggles within the main storyline. You will find yourself fighting off not wanting to binge on the next episode because the story is extremely grabbing. I personally, just finished the series finally and it was a very powerful ending but it still makes the viewer wanting more. The fans of the Power series and please add is one to your list. This story highlights the reality of the early 80s intensely well.
Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me (2023)
Really, do not waist your time. Not what fans deserve.
UPDATE 03/10/2023
I agree reading the content would be good but I purposely watched this blindly so I do get a non bias perspective. I have enjoyed him over the years so there was no reason to read or watch beforehand. The same can be said for other comedians. There is bit of expectation from the viewer already to the quality of any standup routine if the viewer is has been watching the comedians work. If Marlon Wayans can spend almost the entire set on one subject why cannot Chris Rock spend 10 min? Why is Chris Rock getting negative press on his most recent special on this subject only? Marlon Wayans literally verbally bashed Chris Rock. Alls fair in comedy right? Marlon Wayans does have a right to talk about anything he wants but for those viewer who did not read any review or watch any interviews they can be assured that there will be some disappointment.
ORIGINAL:
I watched this form start to finish and I really wanted to stop it a few times as I could not get though it. I spent more time asking myself why he would dedicate the entire standup set to one specific incident that many want to forget. If a person never saw/knew of the incident then this entire routine would sit on deaf ears. I guess it was a gamble to assume that his regular audience would relate to his biases. I think Marlon Wayans is hilarious at times but I think he must have an alternative motive that only he knows as to why he dwells so much on this one incident. Could it be guilt? Hate? Obligation? I was very disappointed at the content and it really was not to the level of funny he usually is in his past years. I do not feel he is going down a different path but it really seemed he went really hard on Chris Rock too much. And he overdid praising Will Smith constantly. For those that are fans I am afraid you have a high chance of being duped with this show. If you are more prone to pop culture happenings then you probably will not be upset with him. Especially if you are on the side of Will Smith. The incident has been talked about in countless interviews and other comedians/celebrities have chimed in already. For Marlon Wayons to devote an entire standup special to it is puzzling. That topic is so old and I think the majority if not all have moved on and want to laugh at fresh and new content.
You (2018)
Starts very high on the hill but falls down slowly
I finally finished all the seasons and episodes so far. This was definitely promising in the first season. The second season was good too. But I was disappointed at the originality. It became so predicable and there were too many unrealistic events. After the first two seasons it gets too repetitive and the main character gets dull. I wanted to give it a real chance but the way most of the characters where painted to be dumb and clueless got to me quick. The main character/ narrator was very interesting to get into his mind but eventually he also fell into the same pit. Giving this and 8/10 is pretty generous and perhaps a bit premature. I am reviewing this after watching all of it and not saying not to watch it at all but I want to bring the expectation to normal levels. I did not read the book this show is based off off but I would but my uneducated guess would be it became a best seller from the story of the first season only. Perhaps the tv adaptation thought the main character and story was able to captivate audiences for a prolonged time. It is a tall order to adapt a good book to a tv/movie and many fail than succeed. --- on a side note, for those who cannot get past "vocal fry" be prepared for a tsunami :)
