Bridgerton (2020)
First season was sexual, second season was sensual
Second season was *chef's kiss". Season will do it for you too if you are into period dramas but the second one.. The slowburn, the chemistry 🔥, the performance. It is the only time I admit that a sequel of a movie or series is better than the original.

Great script, Wooden acting
Interesting story, great script, but the acting brought everything down a few notches. Watching the first episode I thought it would be one of these d-list "blair - witchy" series that you ditch in the second ep, due to the awful acting from the two leads. I believe that if this series had different cast - with the sole exception of matt Mcgorry who was a great supporting actor- it would be awesome. It peaks in the middle episodes and then it has kind of a cliché ending. But for the cliche ending and bad acting of the two leads, I would have given it 10/10, it would have been a masterpiece.
Seventh Son (2014)
Talented actors, so much potential...it could have been epic but for this soulless script and editing
Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander, Julian Moore, Jeff Bridges, Kit Harrington...so many good actors in such a promising movie that got kind of butchered, script and editing wise. The story is good, performances are good but something is missing. The dialogues, the way we are not that much invested in the characters, something feels off and I guess it had to do with the whole super delay or editing that changed hands thing . It's a pity. This movie should be an hour longer and those brilliant actors should have the time to bring more depth to their characters. It's watcable , but it could have been epic.
Gold Digger (2019)
GREAT PERFORMANCES, CAPTIVATING DRAMA
I loved how it kept me hooked until the last moment and had me guessing whether he is or isn't a gold digger. Ben Barnes , as always, delivers an exceptional performance. I don't know how he does it. He can make a villain look super charming and kind and then boom!!! Hits you when his atrocious actions are revealed and he can also portray with such ease, a person you can't even figure out if is good or bad. It's like he embodied good and bad behaviors and traits and his performance was like so perfect that Benjamin looked so ambiguous all the time. A MINI SERIES WORTH WATCHING, kudos to the cast!
Shadow and Bone (2021)
GREAT FANTASY SHOW. BEN BARNES SLAYING AS DARKLING!
I believe that the show is even better than the books. Ben Barnes as General Kirigan is amazing! The writers did a great job developing the characters. Excellent chemistry between Jessie and Ben, really good side characters and great casting for the crows too. I'm eagerly waiting for season 2!!!
Jane the Virgin (2014)
First 3 seasons a 10, Last two... Barely a 5
The first three seasons were amazing.. But then it went downhill!
