Valeria (2020–2024)
8/10
A roller coaster of emotions!
15 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I just finished watching the last episode and almost screamed at my laptop!! SHE CHOSE THE WRONG GUY! She didn't choose Maxi Iglesias, who is a stud, the guy is like... PERFECT!

I've been crazy about this TV show since the day it first got added to Netflix and binged every season in a day or two. Unfortunately, I just noticed the other day that the third season is available now and wanted to watch it straight away! I was expecting a different ending, because she cheated on her husband with Victor, why didn't she end up with him? Poor guy, he was ready to come to the wedding with her and she stood him up... And chose the ugly writer... I mean, he's not ugly ugly, but compared to Victor... No thanks!

As for the rest of the series, I love the characters, they are well developed, I just couldn't believe how Carmen, who's the least attractive, got married first :D

Some could compare it to Sex and the city, but not so much... I'd love to be able to read the book, must check if it's translated to English :)

DON'T WATCH THIS!!!!
13 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is just horrible. In all my life I don't remember watching something so pointless, maybe "Pineapple Express" or some other stupid movie like that, but this is really... UGH! I think that sitting and looking into the same spot for three hours would've been more interesting than this.

I know, maybe I'm just the wrong audience for this and I just didn't understand the movie, but I'm not sure anyone did ???

It was a poor attempt at an absurd comedy, but it was more absurd than a comedy.

This guys gets released from a mental hospital and somehow ends up in Hollywood, becomes rich and famous and loses it all overnight, just like he got it.

I cringed the entire time and I'm happy that I didn't have to pay to watch this, it would've been such a waste of money!

Golden Boy (2022– )
10/10
One of the best series I've watched
16 October 2022
I have no idea why this series has such a low rating after only 4 episodes, on here I mean.

The series is a mixture of traditional values that are represented in the main female character's dad and modern, that is represented in the main male character's family.

The story is a fake marriage that has a potential to turn into real love. The characters have a lot of chemistry between them and it's a real pleasure to watch them from week to week. They seem to bicker a lot, but now they are slowly growing on one another and we're all rooting for them. The series has nice music, nice scenery and the actors are high quality. Definitely worth the watch.

Love Is in the Air (2020–2021)
7/10
What's the hype?
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I liked this series, honestly, I love it when the actors have good facial expressions like Serkan does, but I don't get the hype around Hande, yes, she is pretty, but there are plenty of other pretty Turkish actresses that deserve more attention, not just her.

I also never finished this series, I got bored halfway, so I stopped watching before Serkan's manbun, luckily, because I find those repulsive.

All in all, if you like light series, this could be good for you, don't expect much depth, but that's normal for Turkish series, no one's watching for depth, just for drama and an occasional moment of passion, which is rare.

Love for Rent (2015–2017)
6/10
Interesting, but...
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It started off very interesting, but somewhere around episode 35 I stopped watching it, it was too repetitive, the main actress was a bit squeaky and annoying, it seemed like it wasn't going anywhere. Omer was and is hot and very sexy, but seems like it's not enough for her. She had a secret and couldn't tell him and this was repeated over and over and over again... And the aunt, OH the aunt, she is a different story, two-faced, only looks after her own butt, her and her daughter were too much... The uncle came around, he became a better person while I was still watching, no clue what happened in the end...

It was my favorite romance of the summer
19 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
You know how in summer everything that you usually watch takes a break, this happened with tons of series/shows I follow and then "Senden daha güzel" came. I loved it. Last week when I found out that they are canceling it, I was sad, but come to think of it, it made sense, after 12 episodes the series wasn't going anywhere. Even though the start was good, it needed something else. Yes, Efsun took over the clinic, she wanted to give free services to those in need, but otherwise it was really stale. Emir was and is jealous of everyone, that part is cute, but otherwise what was supposed to happen? There was no progress. I just watched the last episode, 14, and it was the most boring one ever. In a way, no wonder they canceled it. I wish it only had a different plot. They rushed things in the last episode, Emir and Efsun got married, but it was only probably so that the the public doesn't get upset if it ended without them getting married, but it made zero sense, they only kissed once before getting married. And Emir becoming a farmer also makes zero sense, he grew up in the city, as a surgeon, a fancy guy, how does he even know how to fix things and so on? It's not that logical... There are a few plot holes, too... So, my rating is 7, it could've been better.

DON'T WATCH THIS!!!!
25 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was postponing watching this series, because I used to love watching "Sex and the City" and everyone said that this part sucks and unfortunately they were right... There is NO SEX (except for Miranda having the best orgasm in life with a woman, while being married to Steve, who has some kind of a muppet voice in this season), but the series has everything real life has, a funeral (in episode 1), moms that are too amibitious (Charlotte - who couldn't see that coming) and just because they had to, but not this much, TWO LBGTQ+ persons, the one who gave Miranda that orgasm in Carrie's kitchen, while Carrie peed her bed and Charlotte's daughter Rose who wants to be called Rock. All in all, this was a pathetic try to make some extra money on old fame and I'm really wondering HOW they got season 2, maybe because so many of us were curious and watched it, so HBO was like - oh wow, people want more of this - NO, WE DON'T!!

And to top this review off, let me mention that all of the actors look like they melted in the summer sun! And yes, I miss Samantha, she put the sex in the sex and the city, without her it's deaf, peeing in bed, erectile dysfunction, botox, death and the city. P A T H E T I C!

Kim's Convenience (2016–2021)
9/10
Managed to binge this in second try
19 November 2021
The first time I started watching this, I found it quite appaling, but a few weeks ago I scrolled through Netflix and I was like - I remember this one, let's give it another go and baaaam, I'm on season 5! Appa has so many cool sayings, my bf says that I should've written them down. All in all, it's very funny to watch, the only problem is if your English "isa not so gooda", it might become even worse after you watch it :D I wonder how the characters even managed to keep the accent through the seasons :)

It Was Always You (2021 TV Movie)
8/10
Rom-com
11 July 2021
This is your typical rom-com to watch on a Saturday evening with some popcorn or other snack of choice, another Hallmark movie... No kissing, no sex, no action of any sort... Just pure G rated fun :D And the main actress's ears looked elfish weird in the wedding scene, made us chuckle :) I don't think it's a spoiler :D.

A nice movie, but...
11 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
If there's one thing I HATE about movies is when they have an open ending... I mean, we spent almost 2 hours of our life watching the movie, just give us something, whether it's a happy ending or a sad one... This one ended when she gave birth, I mean... AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED????? UGH!!! All in all it's a good movie, but I'd never watch it again!

Just Say Yes (2021)
10/10
Another rom-com
9 April 2021
If you enjoy this genre, you'll definitely love Lotte and her adventures as she's trying to find her own happy-end. It's a typical movie from that genre, so those who expect more will be very disappointed :) A nice movie for a Saturday night, some popcorn and a glass of wine, to relax after a stressful week! :)

Kördügüm (2016)
1/10
Don't bother
28 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
My review might sound similar to the other ones written here, I was so disappointed that they killed off Naz, I thought ok, let's see what happens then. They added tons of side-characters all of a sudden and I skipped the whole third season, watched episode 1 and episode 5. The ending pissed me off honestly, yes, we figured that Mr. Tarik (I called him Golum, he looks like Golum and when he's upset, his face looks like he's smelling something rotten, too funny!) Wasn't sick, that was obvious, but how does it end? Does he lose everything? Do they take it all from him? He gave some kind of a shot to Murat (no clue what, but it paralyzed him), not like he didn't deserve it, but what happened next? Ali Nejat was so hot in seasons 1 & 2, but his bushman look in season 3 is a total turn-off. All in all, I'm very disappointed by this, the episodes were too long, too repetitive, so many questions left. Also the fact that they (Ali Nejat and Naz) never ever kissed on the lips is very weird, not even when they got engaged. What happened to Gökçe? Did she marry Genco? Did she fall in love with him? Did Umut and Neslihan get back together? Bleh, a bitter aftertaste. Total 1 star.

Home for Christmas (2019–2020)
10/10
Very enjoyable
18 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This must be one of the best TV shows I've watched in 2020. and I watched a lot of them. For me, being it on Norvegian and the fact that there is a lot of snow only gives it a special something. The main character was really likeable and relatable, I must admit that I shed a few tears while watching. The first season was kinda a bit more active regarding her love life, but the second episode, even though there were less characters really kicked it. When she got roses for Christmas, I wished that it was Jonas who sent them, I wished it was him all the time, when it turned out to be him, I was sooooo happy! I must say that this show, even though it lasts 6 hours in total (3 hours season 1 and 3 hours season 2) is a really nice way to relax and forget everything. The ending was just perfect, just what we all needed. Also, if you ask me, I wanted a bit more steamy scenes, like the one with Jonas :) All in all, I highly recommend this TV show!

Straight Up (I) (2019)
6/10
A weird movie
6 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Well, for those of you looking for a comedy, SPOILER ALERT, this is NOT a comedy. This is a drama about a man about a man who doesn't know if he's gay or not, there was one scene that made me laugh in total. The ending was unexpected, also a bit confusing, as the credits rolled, I wondered who the third guy was, I think it was Ryder with a slightly shorter hair, yeah, probably. So, they find a way to work things out in the end, involved a third person, who doesn't have issues with sex and intimacy. That's it. The movie is reeeally different... I wouldn't watch it again.

From me, this is a "must watch" movie
17 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I was a bit suspicious, when I watched the trailer, but after seeing the beginning, I instantly fell in love with it. I do watch many rom coms, but this one charmed me with the mixture of languages, those subtle lines, that turned out to be funny and the overall kindness that Paolo gave to us, even though he is Italian. I know, people do have a tendency to create stereotypes, but this movie shows that it's not always how it seems.

We need more movies like this!

Toni Erdmann (2016)

3 hours of my life I will never get back
21 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
At first, I was happy to watch another German movie... and the beginning was really interesting, but as the movie went on, I just didn't see the point of it. It is so boring! This must be one of the most boring movies I have EVER SEEN! There is this one scene after an hour of this torture, in the hotel, where we can see the guy's penis... I thought that the camera guy just fell asleep and it was an accident... But afterwards, there was a birthday party where everyone was pointless naked... Don't know really... Lost me after half an hour. On the other hand, I might just not be smart enough to understand this movie, so I don't get this 7.9 rating...

This TV shows will leave a WTF effect on you...
4 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
...but not in a good way.

Christine or Chelsea or Amanda is an escort girl, who loves sex... In almost every episode (I think there was one without), you can see her small breasts while she is f.ing someone, mostly an old, ugly man. The plot is really dry, she is a law student, has no friends, doesn't want to have any. She is weird, loves sex, loves the attention and likes money. However, all of the time, it seems like there is something missing in her life.

The WTF part was the ending of episode 13, which made me angry, no ending, no closure, just the fact that she wants more... I would say that this one is a complete waste of time!
