Gossip Girl: Lies Wide Shut (2021)
Better than the first 2, some potential, not there yet!
My views about the episode:
- While the show is trying to make the Julien-Zoya-Obi story the main plot, it is definitely the weakest and fizzled out in the first episode itself, and is now just dragging. Also, the 3 might have the weakest acting in the whole ensemble.
- Max's storyline has to be the most interesting. He is a character who is truly going through some real issue with his family and his acting helps showcase those emotions.
- Julien and her dad's plot was just a waste and so anti-climatic. It really wasn't needed.
- Audrey and Aki have a weird yet understandable dynamic. I believe it'll be fun to explore their stories separately though. And Audrey, both acting and plot-wise, would make a better lead.
- Every time Luna and Monet are on screen, I am excited. While we haven't even dipped a pinky into their personal story lines yet, they are the pot stirrers of the show. They are what I expect gossip girl characters to be like. Luna's tips to Zoya might have been my favorite part of the whole episode.
- I have nothing to mention about the teachers, the concept of them being GG is great, but OMG, I haven't seen a worse execution. Every time they are on screen, it's painful.
All in all, this episode was definitely a step up from the previous two, but we need much more exploration. And I am hoping the fashion game also gets stronger over time, it's quite basic till now. Definitely missing the 'pizzazz'.
The Flash: The Trap (2015)
Best episode ever!
I wanted the title to be 'BEST EPISODE EVER' because this episode deserves an all caps title, but IMDb asked me not to shout. So starting with my review, there are good episodes and then there are episodes that blow your mind and this episode did exactly that. Oh my god, I have seen many super hero shows and thought I liked a few shows more than this one but this specific episode has changed everything. It is a true piece of art. Wow just wow! I had to go back and change my rating for 'The Flash' from 8 to 9 after this single episode because it was that powerful. Out of the thousands of episodes I have seen in the past few years, this is hands down my favorite episode ever. I can't even start to imagine what the writers are going to do next to top this.
iZombie (2015)
This show is love!
I cannot even start to describe how much I love this show. I have never been a zombie person, so I was extremely skeptical when I started watching the show, actually I am not even sure why I started watching it in the first place, but I am glad I did. From the pilot episode itself this show completely grabbed my attention. I am absolutely in love with the show. The concept could have turned silly quite fast, but they have kept up the pace. It has the right mixture of comedy, drama and crime solving. Rose McIver has done a brilliant job and I am quite sure I have a huge crush on Rahul Kohli, his character is witty and the super curious nature makes him quite a treat to watch. All in all, it's a must watch show for everyone.
Superstore (2015)
An interesting take on the lives of supermarket employees..
Unlike a lot of other good shows which become good over time, this show starts of with a bang. The first episode itself is quite a charm and the hope is that they keep up the good work. It's funny, some characters are fun and interesting, others not so much, so hopefully they can make the characters more unique and comical. The ensemble is to the point, but I think it'll take a little more time for the characters to grow on the viewers.
All in all, it's a good show, hopefully they keep up the zest. This show definitely has the potential to become one of those shows which runs for 10+ years and generates a lot of love. But they will have to maintain the comedy standards and try not indulging into the 'love story' aspect.
Life in Pieces (2015)
It gets better...
After I saw the pilot episode, I thought it was just another family comedy show with nothing unique or interesting about it.But I decided to give it a try anyway. After the first 3 episodes, I rated it 7, because even though it is just another family comedy show, the characters have an interesting personality, and it's the kind of show that you want to keep on watching because the sketches are good and it's light and warm. I think 5th episode was the turning point for this show, the jokes got better and characters got more defined. There were few instances where I was really laughing. Now the show has created its own space, and I really see myself waiting to watch the next episode. So all in all, it took a few episodes, but now is definitely a light show worth watching.
