Secret Chef (2023)
Juvenile Format
The idea of having the contestants judge each other through blind taste testing is a refreshing change, however the way it is done is very childish and more suited to a junior chef cooking competition with children. The dumb cartoon chef's hat and annoying sound effects ruined the whole show and made it difficult to watch at times. I was very disturbed by the cook with all of the long flowing hair flying all over the food while she was cooking. Anyone who calls themselves a cook knows that you don't cook with long hair hanging loose over your food. I would not have eaten one thing that she cooked. The show could definitely stand a reboot to give it a more professional and adult format.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023)
Not Expecting Historical Accuracy
For the first time ever I binged watched an entire series. This series was very enjoyable and beautiful to look at. It's not usually my type of viewing but I really liked it. I know it was based on historical fact because King George did definitely have mental issues and I can only assume that Charlotte loved him and fully supported him through his 60-year reign, but since things were not recorded in detail for historical purposes, liberties had to be taken. It was so interesting in the series to see how Charlotte developed into the person that she became, almost a tyrant but she knew she had to maintain the line of succession for her husband who was unable to do it. There were a lot of things that were totally unbelievable I generally watch shows to get away from reality, so this fit the bill perfectly. I enjoyed it very very much.
Lucifer (2016)
Give the writers a raise!
After postponing it for several months until I finished other series I finally started watching Lucifer last week and have watched nothing else ever since. I have never watched a show with such fantastic dialogue as this one. It is absolutely amazing how the writers come up with things that make you realize how many times during a regular conversation that spiritual references are made. This show really brings that out with Lucifer having a snappy comeback for every tiny little remark that is made in regarding God, hell, angels and anything else that might have a spiritual reference. The crimes that are investigated are always very different and mostly pretty gruesome but very interesting. The action sequences are very good and the interactions between the characters are fascinating. I don't think I can find anything wrong with it, so I have to give Lucifer a perfect 10.
