Denmark (2019)
Not funny
*LIGHT SPOILERS*
Simply not funny. I don't know why this is listed as a comedy, cause it didn't extract a single laugh out of me, nor did it really seem to be trying to all that hard. If anything, this movie is super depressing. It's a film about a depressed man living a depressing life. It's just not fun to watch. And the main protagonist comes across as a huge weirdo/creep, and we're just expected to believe this woman falls in love with him? The premise of the film sounded great, but it itself is anything but.
In terms of praise, I can say that, being Danish, I was naturally intrigued by this film. I appreciate the inclusion of actual Danish actors speaking Danish - certainly made the movie more novel to me as it's not something you're used to seeing in non-Danish cinema.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Mystery with elements of horror sprinkled in
I came into this show expecting much more horror, and while there certainly are moments sprinkled throughout the season, it's not nearly as much as I expected, which disappointed me.
The mystery within the show is what grabs you, and it was very entertaining - right up until the end. I won't spoil anything, but the ending is really a let down, unfortunately. Every episode is fascinating and it feels like it builds up to something, but as someone else wrote here, that something completely takes the wind out of the show's sails.
TL;DR: Expect less horror and more mystery. Journey is great, but the destination is nothing to write home about.
Insatiable (2018)
Very entertaining
Countless people are weighing this show's ratings down with 1/10 ratings and none of them seem to have even watched the show. Either they only watched the first episode or even just the trailer, decided to hate it, and gave it a useless review.
This show is nonsense, it's insane, it's hilarious, but most of all, it's entertaining. Don't come into this show expecting top quality story telling or complex plot lines and characters. Come into this show expecting simply fun - cause this show has it in spades. If you appreciate dark humor, even better.
Here's hoping Netflix doesn't cave to all the haters who didn't even give the show a fair go, and that we get a second season!
