I mean come on. We're just 2 episodes in and there are a lot of bad AND good reviews about the show as a WHOLE. An unnecessary amount of "1" and "10" stars... This is Wandavision all over again. So far the show is doing good, and I love the direction the show is going. But it is never too late to mess everything up. We'll just have to wait till the end and see.

Mank
(2020)
Not what were used to...
8 February 2021
Before watching Mank, you must be aware that this is like no other movie David Fincher has ever made. Of course the score, overall meticulousness in his research and his nailing of the 40s vibe is more than brilliant. However, at least I believe that, this is not a film for the enjoyment of the audience, but rather to show his admiration for filmmaking. Maybe the phrase "Not for enjoyment of the audience" isn't entirely clear. Allow me to explain:
We've known and loved Fincher for his movies like Gone Girl, Fight Club and Se7en. These are movies where the audience is hooked from the beginning to the genius plot and directing. The audience gets dragged into the movie and goes with the flow of it 'till the remarkable, at most times mind blowing ending. These movies are for the entertainment of the audience, where the only thing expected from the audience is to pay good attention to what's going on.
However with Mank it is different. It is not enough that you observe what is going on, it also requires you to know some information beforehand. So, in order to understand it fully or maybe even truly enjoy Mank you must have of course watched Citizen Kane thoroughly, have a little knowledge about 30s Hollywood and U.S. Politics and be a bit of a film history enthusiast. Even than describing the feelings one felt would probably not be enjoyment, but rather a great appreciation for the movie.
I personally cannot say that I enjoyed the movie as much as I had hoped to, but as I stated, in my believe that wasn't the aim. At the end of the day I'm just glad that we got to watch another Fincher movie even though it wasn't one like we were used to.

Not so great...

I don't know if it is because of this episode being one of Supernatural's last episodes ever or because we had to wait for these episodes an additional 5-6 months that my expectations were very high. We already know that Supernatural has its ups and downs, its legendary episodes and the ones that are not so great. This was the case with this episode where only the last 3 minutes had me excited. When they were about to do a flashback to their childhood I was happy because those episodes have the good old brotherhood feels. But as many child actors, the choices for Sam and Dean weren't good. The story wasn't good and the whole episode felt like the writers were just filling the excess screen time they had. I would've preferred a shorter season without all these unnecessary episodes. Despite all this, it was hinted that the next episodes won't be fillers. I'm hoping that the last 4 episodes will make us forget about these ones.
Prison Break
(2005–2017)
Be ready to have a hole in your heart!

Prison Break is something else. In the first episode you meet a genius: Michael Scofield. I think he's enough reason to watch the whole series. You'll be amazed in every minute of the whole series by his genius.
I started watching foreign TV series 7 years ago. And I look back to all the TV series I've finished so far. And what I was left with at the end. Some of them are higher rated than Prison Break. But none of them has caused the excitement that Prison Break did.
At first I didn't want to watch Prison Break at all. Cause I have this thing that if something is liked my many people it's whether really good (which was the case by this) or people watched it because other people watch it. And I didn't want to take the risk. So I didn't watch it for 4 years. Now I regret it.
If you have the same thing as I have, don't. If you like action, mystery and a great amount of thriller you should start watching it right now.
I hope my comment has helped. And I hope you'll begin soon.

How I Met Your Mother
(2005–2014)
Favorite sitcom! Legendary...

It has everything you need. I never got bored watching the entire series. Even if your'e not gonna like the series you're gonna love Barney.
I'd give it a 10 but I didn't really like the ending. 'cause I didn't really liked the character Robin. She was confusing, indecisive and I think she would make a better couple with Barney.
TO THE ONES WHO THINK IT'S JUST THE COPY OF FRIENDS: I watched both series and they're totally different. So don't judge it before watching.
Hope you'll enjoy watching it!
(Edit: My initial rating was 9, but after my 2nd rewatch I changed it to 10. It's just great:))
