The Wheel of Time (2021)
After watching 5 episodes
The reason why the rate of this series is 7.5 on imdb :
Number 1: women are powerful in this show.
Number 2: there's no sexual scenes like Game Of Thrones.
(as they say, Don't judge a book by its cover, I would say give it a time and watch at least 5 episodes. Don't give up on the first episode, it's too early to judge)
If you like fantasy and historical series, it will definitely satisfy you.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
A realistic show trying to get away from stereotypes, with the wonderful acting and accent of Kate Winslet
I was literally tired of cliche shows about detectives; but this show really refreshed me.
The reason I gave this score was:
In most movies or shows where the detective is the lead role, the detective is usually a person who never makes a mistake (even if at first, it seems that the detective is wrong, suddenly the audience realizes that the detective was right from the beginning) _wow, how clever_ . He/She always has his own routine. In the beginning, he/she judges from his/her sixth sense and always understands correctly. At a glance he sees people deep down, and even if that person seems to be a sinner, the detective realizes at a glance that this is not the case.
But this show is completely different.
The lead role is NOT a hero!
Far from any cliché, this series shows a detective who is a completely ordinary human being. Like everyone else, she has problems in her personal life. And sometimes her personal issues and problems affect her career and cause her to make mistakes.
She makes mistakes, both in her personal life and in her work. She examines the evidence and usually does not suspect based on her sixth sense.
*** It's totally fine that the story happens in a small town like few other show on HBO max. This is real life! ***
And Kate Winslet's acting is fantastic! A British actress who speaks the American accent in a believable and unparalleled way.
