I Came By (2022)
1/10
A very low IQ movie, certainly not a thriller
29 October 2023
Storyline is as basic as it gets. Any 11 year old who has seen any crime or thriller movies can come up with this.

You will be able to guess what happens 15 minutes in the movie and that's it. And I do not mean there are some twists and turns, it will be EXACTLY as to what you expected.

It not a thriller, there are no twists, story is old and boring. It has been done so many times.

I cannot comprehend why someone would give this movie more than 5 stars. Probably people have stopped seeing good movies off late. Probably plain dull meaningleas pieces make them happier as they don't have to make sense. A 6+ rating for this crapshow makes me think that humanity is dumbing down collectively.

Same old same old
20 September 2023
There is nothing new about this show. Premise is old, has been done many times before. The storyline and characters are actually stereo-typical of action thrillers.

At some point, probably midway into 3rd episode you can guess everything that is going to happen, even the ending. It is quite ludicrous that this show has a decent rating on IMDB.

If you want a no-brain action + drama sequence that has a weak plot, even weaker characters and a forgettable dialogue then this is a hoot.

I always recommend people to watch bad shows and come here and give the appropriate rating. So even if you believe this review, I'd still say watch it.

Bank of Dave (2023)
10/10
Very heartwarming that shows dark side of status-quo
1 August 2023
A very heart warming movie. Very good acting and perfectly setup for being a movie based on a true story. It is not overly dramatic, it is very well placed in the reality. Acting, dialogue is good. Message of the movie is great.

The best thing about Bank of Dave is the fight that a normal man takes to the status-quo. Challenging the elite in modern capitalistic world is just about the hardest thing we can do. And this movie demonstrate that we can fight the system, if we try hard enough and surround ourselves with the right people. Highly recommended and a brilliant watch. You won't regret it.

Brilliant acting and cinematography
30 July 2023
This movie was top-notch. It wasn't a mindless horror flicks. There was depth to it. Stories that show that there is something deeper going on with everyone. Dialogue, the acting, the cinematography, everything was upto the mark.

How our guilt makes us vulnerable, and if we accept our mistakes, learn from them, seek atonement, do the right thing, we become much much more powerful.

The movie was critical of some practices of the Vatican but it was not an all out attack, which was refreshing to see.

If you are a fan of mindless horror flicks, this movie is NOT for you. If you like deep, dark, thought-provoking psychological battles and the power of good over the evil, then you will love it.

Florida Man (2023)
1/10
Very basic low intellect show
6 July 2023
Cliches - this show has every single cliche you can think of when it comes to mobsters, their henchmen, lovers and cops. There is not a single unique thing in this show. They tried to keep everything jumpy with lots of people getting shot or dying, but that just makes everything all the more distasteful. It is quite remarkable, how this show has a 6.7 rating.

Acting is decent from the lead actor but no one else. Script is forgettable. There are many non-sensical things but this show many not deserve one star, that is just an attempt to even things out. But I would give it no more than 3 stars.

Black Mirror (2011– )
1/10
Season 6 has done it for them
18 June 2023
One of the most captivating shows of all time has been undone by an ill attempted season. It would be grave injustice to not write this review and let people suffer through the terrible monstrosity. Do not watch it but with low expectations.

Apart from 1 or maybe 2 episodes the whole season is without substance, story, script and any concieveable message or "moral of the stories". I don't know what happened and why it happened but the writers deviated from their old ways quite a bit.

The one good positive is tha acting. They sure employed brilliant actors who did their job wonderfully, even in the awful episdoes.

Black Mirror: Mazey Day (2023)
Season 6, Episode 4
1/10
Black Mirror steadily going downhill
16 June 2023
There is no plot to this episode, no real script, acting of the supposedly drug addicted actress is excellent. Other than that this episode is terrible. It is hard to explain to someone who hasn't watched it; there is absolutely nothing in the episode. It seems like the writers just stuck together a bunch of random thoughts and decided to go with it. I wouldn't day don't watch this episode, because it is not a movie, and one cannot really skip an episode if you are watching a series, but prepare to be disappointed. From season 6 as a whole, apart from one or two episodes, it would seem that Black Mirror sadly is going downhill.

Same old same old, nothing new
25 August 2022
Keep Breathing is the same old survivor story with nothing new. In fact, it is duller than some survivor stories. Don't watch it, you would be wasting your time.

Ending left me disappointed
25 August 2022
Show is OK. But I want to give it a one star to show my feelings that the ending was terrible. And also other producers and writers do not try to repeat the same gimmicks.

It is so bad that I have decided to write a review after two years
20 April 2021
OMG. This is a rip off of the movie Skeleton Key which was also terrible.

But this is bad on a whole new level. Terrible plot. Storyline inconsistencies and terrible character development. There is nothing original about this absurdity. You will see everything coming before every scene.

It is that terrible and derivative. If you don't want to waste a few hours of your life, DO NOT WATCH THIS. There is literally nothing good about this show. Poor acting, forgettable dialogue. Not recommended at all.

Ocean's Eight (2018)
1/10
A horrendous chick-flick
18 August 2019
When I heard about the all girl cast. I was excited. I thought it'd be about girl power and feminism. But this movie is all about catty glossy divas hating on ex-bfs. Acting is good across the board but rest is terrible. There is no dialogue, poor cinematography, monotonous sets and there is nothing memorable really.

If you want a watch a crime thriller, don't watch it. Also why does the movie claims to have comedy? There is literally no comedy at all.

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)
1/10
First 4 seasons, greatest ever... Rest of the show, worst ever
25 July 2019
True series lovers often criticize an average American TV series to be crude, repetitive, over-sexed and simply unimaginative. The Big Bang Theory was an exception. It was brilliant, insightful, increased your knowledge. Unlike Friends, TBBT was not a sex-con with crude jokes. It was a promising series. Perhaps the best series of all times. A series based on Geeks and Nerds. A series essentially built on science and friendship.

But all that went to hell after 4 seasons. The last 8 seasons of the show are about silly love triangles, typical marriage problems, ridiculous relationship troubles, and insufferable crude jokes - basically it circles back to the dumb over-sexed TV show that most American series are.

I wish I could give me less than 1 stars. If you are an intelligent viewer don't get suckered into it. It is AWFUL.

Sisters (2017)
10/10
Heartwarming, unique and bizarre plot yet VERY relate-able
22 April 2019
The plot of Sisters is unique. This is not something that you find on every TV show. One day you wake up and find out that your father has been tampering at work and you have 100+ siblings. That is not the premise of an average comedy drama show... YET, Sisters is very relate-able to anyone who has siblings. The drama, the problems, the love, the hate everything seems so real and so heart touching.

The thing I like about this show is: it promotes positivism, it is not over-the-top, the acting is great, cinematography is great, dialogue is a bit lackluster. Overall Sisters is a great show and I really want to have season 2 - let's hope Netflix brings it.

You (2018–2024)
1/10
Typical modern TV for teenagers and low IQ people - you can get away with anything if you are cute and mysterious
11 January 2019
This show is absolute crap. There is no storyline, other than stalking and stalking. The lead character is a pure evil piece of garbage who would go to any lengths to feed his obsession and is shown as some kind of a misunderstood hero. Why does modern TV justify criminals? Most American.

American TV these days is all about 1.good looking people who are average actors, 2.ridiculous script, 3.technical and logical blunders, 4.sex/nudity/flirtation and 5. an evil but misunderstood lead and BHAM! From How to Get Away With Murder to You - that is all there is.

You is a disappointment and would only appeal to people who don't think a TV show should at least not defy common sense.

The Bletchley Circle (2012–2014)
10/10
Outstanding and somehow realistic crime show
23 November 2018
This show is great. The acting, the setting, the dialogues, the realistic problems women faced and still do face - everything is so brilliant. I am growing more and more interested in British crime shows and have completely forsaken American TV.

If you like a typical American style crime shows like How To Get Away With Murder with lots of pretty people having affairs and crying over and over for being 'misunderstood' on God's green earth, then The Bletchley Circle is not for you.

It is a gripping and unbelievably realistic and down to earth show. The pace is good, the character development is excellent, the show is not needlessly critical of our history, it only criticizes the chauvinism when it is necessary, which makes it all the more realistic and haunting. There is no overcompensation of homosexuality either, like I said earlier, there is no overdose of sex of any kind.

It is a plain, brilliant crime show, nothing else.

Adults doing high school teen drama disguised as law, detection and crime
8 November 2018
As someone who knows a thing or two about detection, process, police work due to sheer interest in the subject, this show is total bull crap. It is hard to believe why anyone would fall for this high school teen drama done by adults as an accurate law and crime show. It is ridiculous. It is highly flawed. Perhaps, this is one of the most overrated show. Let me tell you this is NOT how the law works, each and every single case and episode is a sham. If the creators of this show knew a shred about forensic evidence, let alone law complexities, they would scrap it and throw it in the bin.

It breaks my heart to see solid and accurate shows going down in rating because they are realistic. And this monstrosity has an 8.2 rating because it has got pretty people, cheesy dialogues and dramatic music effects. I would go as far as to say that people who like this show really need to take a IQ test and subsequently improve their brain activities and motor skills.

Now let me tell you what actually happens on the show. People hook up, say stuff to each other, have misunderstandings and repeat - there are some legal cases in between, but they are so bad and so poorly highlighted that a viewer doesn't get involve in them. This show like most American shows also propagates that it is OK to do morally questionable things and hurt people if you would later feel bad about it - that is ridiculous but that is American TV for you. This show should have a rating in the 6s - it is unfair.

Daredevil (2015–2018)
1/10
Season 3 - oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!!
22 October 2018
I have never watched something so slow, boring. ridiculous and full of meaningless philosophy and cliches as the season 3 of Daredevil was. If the shows ratings don't plummet after this monstrosity, we'll know for sure that we live in a world of idiots.

Season 1 and 2 were fine. But season 3 is almost unwatchable. I gave it up many times but decided to follow through because I thought maybe something exciting will come up now and then two episodes later, maybe now. This made me watch the season its in entirety in multiple attempts.

Acting is good but cliches are unbearable and one thing that American TV and movies love doing is, humanzing the villians, giving their stories spin, showing them as people with mental issues and 'troubled pasts' - as long as you have that background, it is OK to kill people. Daredevil is full of that too.

Better Call Saul (2015–2022)
1/10
Started off well but faded away. Very slow and boring
17 October 2018
Don't get me wrong Better Call Saul is not a one-starer. I am only giving this review to balance out the ratings. The series has good points like excellent acting, great character development, strange warmheartedness and other things that make this show watchable.

And it started of really well too BUT it fell apart after second season. It has become unwatchably slow! The story seems to be at a standstill and there is too much repetition. Better Call Saul isn't producing anything new for the viewer. It is elongated and boring with nothing happens whatsoever, episode after episode.

The Musketeers (2014–2016)
1/10
Boring and predictable - BBC what have you done!
29 August 2018
This series is one of the worst television I have seen. The Musketeers is boring and predictable. It has every single cliche that exists in the world. It is so basic and so predictable that you don't only get to predict what is going to happen in each episode, you also see what is coming in the entire series as a whole.

Character development is ridiculous to say the least. Dialogues are a joke. Acting is surprisingly good though. All in all, there is no fun, no excitement and no anticipation in the show. Just some high school crap and loads and loads of senseless deaths.

Lastly, I want a word for the brain-dead idiots who have given this show great ratings. Please start watching and encouraging good quality TV. It is because of people like you that Earth is dying and we are looking to colonize other planets.

Black Mirror: White Bear (2013)
Season 2, Episode 2
1/10
Horrendous! What the hell was that?
21 August 2018
So, this episode begins with a woman crying. She cries and cries throughout the episode and it ends with her crying. Just what the hell was that. How can you not get sick of a woman crying for an entirety of 50 minutes. No story line can justify this. There are better ways to show the point you are trying to make. The acting is good but the crying and whining makes the entire episode simply unwatchable. I wanted this episode to be over 15 minutes in. Why have people liked it is beyond me.

Black Mirror: Crocodile (2017)
Season 4, Episode 3
1/10
Terrible episode
21 August 2018
What the hell was that? - The episode has weak story line, even weaker acting and no sense of anything that is going on. A young man is seen doing some drastic things that doesn't make sense. The episode is probably the worst in the entire series. Secondly, there is a lesson in all the Black Mirror episodes, this episode doesn't seem to have any lesson or insight. It is just a plain case of ridiculous events beginning and then coming to an end. The episode also defies human instincts. People do not behave like that. Dialogue is hilarious and like I said acting is weak. But the worst thing has to be the story writer and characters. It is not the fault of the actors that the script and characters were this weak.

Let Me In (I) (2010)
1/10
Absurd
3 March 2018
There are some strange inconsistent in this film. The main problem I have is with the message of this film: it is OK to do evil things if you have a problem. The film offers no explanations on the origin of the main character. There are many needless deaths in the movie.

The slow pace is tedious. The dialogue is forgettable. The acting is good though. The movie is an overall slow paced dark propagation of evil with no remorse or counter attacking by good.

The ending as you'd expect is quite terrible. Without giving any spoilers, I'd leave it at that. The movie is bad, don't watch it. It promotes all the wrong ideas.

Decent idea but horrible execution
3 February 2018
It is the type of show that people with lots of time and an easy life can enjoy. It is slow, weak and implores psychological perils of different human beings. The reason I say it is for a certain type of people; it is as far away as reality as you can have. Life is fast paced and keeps us all occupied. We do not want a TV show that takes us into a pointless fantasy land that doesn't make any sense.

The acting is quite good, character building is good too. Dialogues are almost non-existent barring one character and his script is again, good for a literature student but repulsive and un-relatable to a normal human being.

And the worst part: the show is very slow - to a point that it becomes pointless.

Weeds (2005–2012)
1/10
Painfully typical and boring
20 January 2018
This show is a kingdom of stereotypes. Black people deal in drugs, dead father was an angel, kids are nice but misunderstood, rich housewives are snobbish, young men are sexual perverts. All of this would have been fine if done properly but it is incredibly boring.

Another stereotype: Christians are idiots and the family in the center of the series is Jewish and very cool for that reason. Please see that I am not even Christian but this subtle way of mocking one religion whilst promoting the other has become a norm in American TV, don't you think?

Acting is the worst in this show - or dialogue, I can't say. Story line like I said has nothing new to offer. The sorry attempt at comedy is laughable but in a very different way than the show intends. I could not bear more than one season. DO NOT WATCH IT, IT IS HORRIBLE.

Great show with outstanding one liners
2 January 2018
This is an awesome show that actually makes you laugh out loud with its quirky sense of humor and outstanding one liners. The plot of the show is unique and very interesting. I had low expectations from this show but ended up loving it.

Acting is top-notch and the way characters grow and become knitted with each other is also great. Sometimes the non-sense is a bit dragged and you want someone to make the right decision and it is the anticipation that keeps you getting hooked.

Also, there are no evil or good characters in the show (in the main cast), there are just hilarious situations and everyone deals with them in their own way. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is highly recommended.
