Griselda (2024)
Enjoyable, but Griselda just isn't believable
The series is enjoyable and could have scored higher. However, I found the main character to be casted very poorly. I know SV casted herself in the main role, but she simply isn't credible. She keeps coming across as a nice, but mostly weak lady, in a gangster world. When she shouts, her voice gets screechy. She is too well put together. Her motivational speech of war made me chuckle a bit. I understand this is a hard role, but you have to see a little bit psycho, a little bit coldness to believe it.
I was also extremely bothered with the lady cop. She figured everything out with one clue and was portrayed to be ignored because she was a woman. However, in reality, the evidence for what she claimed was paper thin and there is no way she could've known everything already.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)
Enjoyable, but nothing you didn't expect
I write a review, because I really didn't think it was as bad as people say. Sure, there was nothing you wouldn't expect: a basic over the top superhero movie with a super villain and just-in-time saviors. However, it was still enjoyable and the storyline about family and the light humor, was refreshing.
What bothered me is that they were few parts of the story line that were rather thin. The new super powerful resource wasn't really used (except to cause intentional climate change!?). The huge monster from the beginning basically just dissapeared? The entire new world they discovered on an island was entirely pointless to the story? Throwing all these things in there just distracted from the main story in my opinion. Better work with less, but do a better job. It didn't ruin the movie though.
Rick and Morty (2013)
Great memories, but going downhill
I remember the days where me and my friends would all get together every si gle night a new episode was released. Filled with excitement we would see how the show would blow our minds and made us laugh untill you get tears in your eyes.
Now granted, this is a high standard to keep up, however, the later seasons are really not even worth watching anymore.
They genuinely made me wonder if I just got too old for it or I just became too serious. However, if I went back to some of the older seasons, it was great again.
The writers are exploiting the endless possibility multiverse too much. It is only funny when it is grounded in some sort of relatable story. That the weirdness is acknowledged or when earthlings are mindblown by all that is happening which makes it relatable. At this point it is just weirdness, completely ungrounded by anything, often with weak story lines and worst of all... puns.
Thoroughly hope that the writers will do some soul searching and go back to what made this show great. Even if that means waiting twice as long for a season.
Outlast (2023)
I don't understand the terrible reviews
I absolutely loved the concept of this show.
I agree with most reviewers that there were really awful people that went too far. However, it also kept me hooked like crazy, because you wanted them to lose so bad.
For another season they should consider making clearer rules, but for now, team alpha exploited the absence of rules.
I loved the concept of allowing team switching, which kept things interesting. I also loved the end game, that did noy necessarily benefit larger team size, so everyone truly had a shot.
Some things seem a little scripted, but that is ALWAYS an issue with reality tv. I didn't find it staged to the extend that I didn't believe it. There were definetely connections that were hard to fake.
What the Health (2017)
Just nonsense
You can make sound anything truthfull by asking some doctors, pretending that big institutions don't want to respond and putting in some pseudo-science non backed up scary looking animations. If you're half sleeping while watching, you could probably be fooled. If you actually pay attention you see how superficial everything is in this movie and that painting arteries yellow is not a scientific animation of what's actually happening in the body.
