Dave (2020– )
8/10
The second season isn't that bad
12 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, the second season had a bad start. But it progressively got better. Not as good as season 1 mind you, but it gets better. Season 2 is more of a drama, than a comedy.

This show is most likely based on Dave's past experiences. He expresses this throughout both seasons. Sure, season 1 was more funnier than 2, but we can't always get what we want.

Over the course of season 2, it essentially gives a deeper insight into the backstory about Dave's character. Whether it is completely fictitious or partially real, I feel like the intention of what Dave wanted was expressed in season 2. Looking forward to season 3.

Mr Inbetween (2018–2021)
7/10
Season 1 & 2 Good, Season 3 OK
14 July 2021
While I liked both seasons and they both had their own unique style, I am quite disappointed with the ending.

The atmosphere and buildups were the best I've seen for this kind of show. Kind of reminds me of Mr Robot. But Season 3 just felt a little bit too short to send the show off forever.

I just wish this show was 30 minutes longer each episode... Would have made a difference and perhaps, given a better ending to the series finale.

Truth Seekers (2020)

A fun show, to not be taken seriously
8 November 2020
I liked a change of atmosphere. This isn't your typical tv show, with a pretty decent story for not being too serious.

At first I thought it would be scary because of the Horror genre. Turns out it isn't scary at all. Much more funny than scary.

A Pretty unique show that isn't to be taken seriously. If you're looking for something serious, then this is not your show.

But for some nice banter and a funny take on "ghost busters", this will satisfy your needs.

Nick and Simon have done it again. Hopefully if there's a season 2, they will be in more scenes together.

Ramy (2019– )
8/10
Season 1 very good. Season 2 is OK
1 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Season 1 was about the crew going on an adventure pretty much. However, each adventure hits a roadblock and they pretty much have to figure out how to get out of it.

Season 2 is more towards the dramatic aspect of things. It is more Drama than Comedy, but still retains some comedy and is still good enough to watch, it is not BAD, just not GOOD either.

I waited a while for season 2 and was finally pleased once it came out. I was pretty disappointed on the direction it went, but it kind of does make sense from a story point of view. Hopefully season leans more towards season 1.

This show really does have the potential to be the next best casual show. It has a mix of everything, every episode is unique and doesn't get boring. In season 2 we do see more depth to the characters though, especially Ramy and how it is to be a Muslim living in a western society.

But I must admit, this show is actually really, really accurate to most modern Muslim families who live in western countries and I am very pleased with how good it is at portraying everything. The only concern I would have to give this show is how some scenes are a bit "too much" and mixing religions, relating religions to Islam just seems over the top. This really only applies to season 2 though, as season 1 was 98% accurate, with 2% being inaccurate for some Muslims.

Space Force (2020–2022)
8/10
Steve Carell still has it!
31 May 2020
This show is pretty decent. Every episode had something unique, which keeps you entertained throughout the full season. It is pretty funny as well from time to time, I don't think this show was aimed at full comedy. I know people know Steve from The Office, so they just assume it will be like that show. The show has a good mix of action and comedy, with an actually ok story. I have seen a lot of shows and this show is by far one of the best comedy shows I have seen this year. It doesn't try to be too funny, but at the same time it also doesn't try to be too serious. It's a good median for people who just like to watch something casual.

I must admit though, I only watched this because of Steve. I think he makes it worth while. Unsure if anyone else may had been able to pull it off like he did. Of course, I might be biased but you cannot unsee what you have already seen, so it is hard to put a picture together with another actor.

The trailer was underwhelming, the actual show was better!
11 May 2020
I thought this would be a meme until I realized there was an actual story to it.

Easily Bingable. Already hyped for season 2! I just wish there were more eps for s1...

Bad... Just Bad
17 March 2020
This isn't even about programming. This is about something much more stupid.

It started off real good but then got destroyed by the bad acting and stupid plot.

Mr robot was probably the best show about this kind of stuff with the creepy atmosphere. It is really unfortunate that show is over now.

If they kept the same atmosphere as the first episode, maybe we would have a really decent show. But it just died off.

Altered Carbon (2018–2020)
3/10
Season 1 was really good. Season 2 is a let down!
1 March 2020
I don't know what to say... Season 1 was so good, I was very hyped for this. I waited SO LONG for season 2 and I am super confused. What's the point of this? Why should I care about these characters? What is there to develop? These characters are all over the place, with really nothing to add. I can't seem to feel any emotion as this just seems super rushed.

What was such a good show turned into trash. I hope season 3 (if there will be one) is better than this. If it goes down the same path, this show should not be renewed for another.

I really don't understand what the writers were thinking....

A really decent show, Netflix has done it again!
26 January 2020
So I made an account just to review this because I saw a lot of people whine a lot about this TVShow.

The first 2 episodes were just to help you understand the characters a bit. When I watch shows, I have a rule and I call it "the 3 episode rule". It's as the name states, if I do not enjoy something by 3 episodes, I stop watching it. This show has gotten me hooked during the 3rd episode!

It's pretty much a combination of supernatural but with a wider spectrum. The acting is OK but it certainly watchable and isn't that bad where people make it out to be (I have seen over 500 TV shows and this is by far very good compared to many) and the only really thing that started to bother me was the part where there are 2 gay men. Ever since being "gay" was allowed by law, TV shows had started to have these stupid and necessary scenes of a gay person being with another. I don't have an issue with gay people in general, but when you force it down through our throats like that in a TV show, it really gets me on my nerves. This is probably the only thing I hated about this show.

Now, let's get to some business and talk about the show itself.

Essentially you have hunters who kill "monsters". The depth of each character gets better and better during each episode, after the first 2 episodes. It helps you understand both sides of the story which allows for you to really connect to the characters more than you should have. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to spoil anything and add spoil tags.

This is a really top notch Netflix show and I do not understand what all the fuss is about. This is usually why I don't make a conclusion until after the 3 episode rule because some shows can start off a bit weird and quirky.

If you plan to watch this show, please give it a chance until the END of episode 3. I will tell you right now that the first 2 episodes does not represent the whole show at all. The atmosphere changes quite rapidly in each episode, which is actually a relief. You don't have any stupid 10 season stories that talk about 1 story and keeps you confused for 10+ years till they finally fill in the gaps, but by that time you had lost interest. This show tells you everything straight up, there is no confusion at all in every episode. I have never seen such crybaby's reviewing a show before they watch the whole thing.

Would I recommend this show to anyone? Yes! It is a good time waster, although a generic story, it is still very interesting to see. Not once was I bored watching this show.
