For Life (2020)
I would have given it 10/10 if it was just the first season.
The first season is compelling, excellent storyline that opens your eyes, excellent acting and overall a very engaging show that pulls you in almost from the start. Yes it has its soapy moments in the first season but those are forgiven for the overall original feel to this show. The character development is also extremely good in the first season.
But for whatever reason, instead of ending the show after the second episode of the second season and wrapping it up then, the producers decided they wanted to keep making money off this, and just turned the show into a CSI extension. It's like Watching two completely different shows under the same name.
I hate it when shows do this, it ruins the entire thing. All the character development from the first season has disappeared, and the story has just turned into your average American soap drama.
What a shame.
The Lodge (2019)
An underrated masterpiece
It has been a long time since the horror genre took on such an intelligent plot line and succeeded so well at it.
The film keeps you guessing until the end, and the ending although not clear cut, ties the rest of the film up perfectly. Although a slow burner, no jump scare in sight, and may therefore seem boring to the thrill seeker amongst viewers, the storyline is interesting and moves along at a pace that keeps you glued to the screen and makes you want to find out where it's headed.
With elements of The Shining and The Others, it pays homage to some great classic cabin fever horror stories yet spins something very original in itself.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes a good story and depth to their film watching collection. Was really pleasantly surprised!
A Million Little Things (2018)
Was expecting something far better than what I got
I saw a post recommending this show if one was a fan of "this is us"....the first episode actually related very well to this is us and was truly promising to turn into quite a good show.
However, I'm half way through the first season and I've got to admit I find myself physically rolling my eyes at pretty much every scene.
The script is sloppy, the acting is tardy and there is almost no chemistry between any of the characters.
I feel like this show had so much potential but is completely missing the mark.
I will watch until the end of the first season because I want to see where the cliffhangers lead to and how it ties up, but I think that's where it'll end for me.
Would not recommend this show to anyone really. Unless you like over dramatized cliched television shows.
The Handmaid's Tale: Under His Eye (2019)
I am about to give up on this series.
Seriously, I'm not going to add more than has already been said about the episode and show by other people. All I will say is that I've started playing with my phone with the series in the background, and I never usually do that, especially not for masterpieces like handmaids tale. The show is getting boring!!! And nothing is happening! If we don't start seeing actual progress with the resistance soon, I will happily forget this show ever existed.
