Bookie (2023)
Please DON'T cancel this show
This show is genuinely hilarious. The acting is spot on, and it seems to be effortlessly easy played out by the actors.
I have rewatched each episode at least twice, and I still find myself laughing.
It is fresh, not heavy to watch, but nor stupidly light. The balance between seriousness and comedy is close to perfect.
The only thing I can think of to criticize is the 20-24min duration of each episode. They could be 30-38min easily.
I hope for the seasons to come, that they don't spoil it with deep-diving drama, and unnecessary character unfolding events, which will destroy its current dynamic.
Babylon (2022)
Thin and uninteresting plot
Obviously every film has a plot, and this one has too. The only thing is, that the plot is so incredibly weak, boring, and just plain messy, that I couldn't even watch it till the end. I left 20min before the end, because it just seemed to loop, over and over again. A total disappointment, and an absolute waste of time. The good things; the acting (very convincing), the choreography and the photography.
At best, this is more a fictitious documentary, than an artistic film. If you adjust your expectations, and watch it with a mental clean-slate, you might find it amusing. But surely, you will still feel the pain of hours passing by of your life, which you ultimately can never reverse.
