WE DO NOT NEED A SECOND SEASON!!
I wasn't going to write a review but it's been about a week since I finished watching the series and I can't stop thinking about how terrible it was.
I was so excited for this; I posted about it back in June 2019 but for all this tomfoolery they should have just made a second movie. I was expecting this to be a live action series of the 2005 animated series not the 2010 live action movie. I've watched the series 4 times and working on a 5th just to forget about this one. The one good thing that I can say about this series is that the voices were similar. Voices are not enough to keep us wanting more.
When the original creators of the animated series left this project they should have stopped it all together and just took the loss. The person who took over as the showrunner must have based it off the movie and it shows. This franchise has so much potential for a GREAT live action and they did not do it any kind of justice. If you want to make a good version they could follow the animated series almost word for word! It's that great and this is not!! Please do not do a second season! Don't even do a redo. Why doesn't everyone just let the animated series live as the sole survivor?! And don't say for the money cause we all can see it's being wasted!
If you are a fan of the original animated series and want several hours of disappointment then it's worth the watch otherwise rewatch the animated series and know it's the best version of ATLA you will see!
You're the Worst: Twenty-Two (2016)
Chef's Kiss Even 7 Years Later
I've just started this series back up. I watched it when it came on TV and for whatever reason I stopped.
I'm in the middle of binge watching and I'm in the middle of S3E5. I had to come check if any awards had been given for this episode. I was actually at a point where I was about to stop watching the series because of Edger's PTSD. I wasn't enjoying the episodes because I couldn't stop thinking how he clearly needs help (I haven't finished the episode but I truly hope it does get to the point he gets the help he needs).
I've found myself not enjoying the other characters because they have not been able to see that he needs help, besides his GF who I just don't like but is the only one (so far) that can see he is at such a breaking point.
But Desmin Borges is pulling all my heartstrings. He is so convincing I'm almost in tears. I don't know if any episode in this series will be as great as this one so far. I had been thinking it's such a serious topic for such a comedic show but what the writers have done with this episode is really amazing. They did not have to put this episode in this silly ass show but thank goodness they did.
I went back to finished the episode after posting my review and now that the title has been explained I'm crying and I just want to hug Edgar!
The Sopranos: Made in America (2007)
2022
I was 9 when the series started so I'm positive it wasn't my go to for a source of entertainment. Over the years I heard about the ending and I went back and forth with myself deciding if I was going to agree with it or not as I binged the series over the last couple of weeks. I just finished the series and I still don't know! One thing I do know is it was more abrupt than I was expecting! I thought something happened to my device. I thought I was in for a fade to black and that's what I was waiting for so the abrupt cut made me laugh so hard.
I know a lot of people say this is one of the best shows ever made. I cannot say that watching it in 2022. I spent the first season constantly saying "is this show even good"?. It's not the typical writing style we know today and I think that's why I struggled watching it. I don't think I enjoyed it until about the 4th season and I stuck around to see what the fuss was but by the end I was counting down the episodes until I was done.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Passes the time.
It's watchable but I often feel that if I left the room and missed something I wouldn't feel the need to rewind. I think it's one of those shows that is so hyped that you feel like you're supposed to enjoy it and at S2:E2 I'm wondering if I really need to keep watching the series. I was hoping season 1 was just slow and things would pick up by 2 but this episode caused me to write the review because I'm just so annoyed by June.
Ripper Street: The Weight of One Man's Heart (2013)
The BIRDS!!!!!!
This is one of the saddest episodes of television I have ever watched. I just finished it and I'm balling my eyes out!!! Just my god!! Ever single heartstring was pulled!!!! Why y'all have to gut us like that on EPISODE FIVE?!?! I had to take away a star for the fact that I'm crying! I need to go watch a comedy I can't even continue binging.
Next morning follow-up:
I'm still sad I was just telling someone about it and I'm ready to cry again! THE BIRDS!! But it was such a great episode of television I think I'll watch it again. The writing so great! The moment he's walking the street and see the rose, so smart!
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Maybe I missed something...
I have exactly 20 minutes and 33 seconds left in this show and I just could not hold out until the end to get this off my chest. Let me just start off by saying that at some point in my life I felt like Hannah, to this day I sometimes feel like Hannah but I'm also a realist. So with that being said, Hannah is a c***y little a****** that expected way too much from people. She wanting way more than basic "good" humans, she wanted super humans, in fact she wanted mind readers (which ironically there is one in the show but Skye was underrated but that's a whole separate issue). If you watched you know I'm at the point where Clay is telling Mr. Porter he failed her, blah blah blah, and this is where I lost my wits about me. By all means she didn't have to just move on but if you're wanting to be chased after and have things pulled out of you then I think maybe just maybe you are asking too much of another person without giving something in return. I completely get that it's not always easy to connect with someone but was Hannah even trying? Not with her mom or dad, not with her counselor, and for damn sure not with Clay. People genuinely cared for her and she just tossed them aside. Did she only care about herself?
And for F sake's not only was she a "homie hopper" she CONSTANTLY puts herself in the worst positions making me think and often yell at the screen about how stupid she is/was. AND OH MY GOD she let her friend get raped?!?! Drunk or not what a s****y thing to do.
I also had a really hard time understanding/connecting with the characters. But like I said maybe I missed something...
I originally gave this a 1 and I probably would of gave it a 0 if possible because Hannah is god awful but I settled on a 3 because 1) I'm here for Dylan Minnette all day, and 2) it was a very unique way of story telling.
