Community: 5x08 App Development and Condiments

Hasn't anyone noticed that the Meow Meow Beenz app was used identically for a Black Mirror episode? It's basically the same plot but treated differently

Succession: 2x09 DC

Presumably it's Tom, given that Greg's name is already out there. But knowing Logan, he'd throw Kendall under the bus without thinking twice as well

Death to 2020

Who would have though there's a world outside the US/UK?
Certainly not me during this mockumentary

Just entertaining enough, mostly worth it for Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. It starts way stronger than it ends

Though it's curious to see that when they get to May and the BLM they switch to documentary and patch it up with a couple of bad, evident jokes about a racist Karen, a black Boris Johnson and such, all traces of subtlety and acid humor gone for practically the rest of the film.
I mean it's December, we've already seen plenty of pieces about it months ago, and much better ones. It wasn't funny nor informative.
And I wasn't eager to hear all about the election for 25 minutes straight either just a mere month later.

Succession: 3x03 The Disruption

Literal chills. Nicholas Brittel has outdone himself once more with this season's soundtrack
Waiting to see how Kendall crashes this season and quite surprised with Roman's humanity here

Big Mouth: 2x05 The Planned Parenthood Show

I'm starting to get tired of Coach Steve, I don't like his stories in this season and he's getting too much attention, I'd rather see only the teens as main characters.
I loved every part of this episode except for his parts (still, the idea of making the sex-ed class to him is spot-on)

Peaky Blinders: 4x06 The Company

The "Surprise! I made a pact with the even more powerful enemy of my enemy" thing is starting to get old after 4 season. However, hats off to the part where Tommy goes crazy because he has nothing to do, that's just what I needed to see. And hthat's why it was imposible to believe that he had agreed to give up everything he worked for to stop a war.

Succession: 3x07 Too Much Birthday

Sibling conflict finally at its finest. Man, it breaks my heart and I love it.
Chills
This might end up at the top of the whole show with all that tension so meticulously handled.
Also, Alexander Skarsgard, yet another great guest actor that almost goes unnoticed while being the guiding theme of the episode

I just don't even care about Eve anymore, she's a bad person but not close to as fascinating or intriguing as Villanelle
She's horrible to Kenny, Hugo, her husband and has absolutely no remorse for his best friend's death, she's the worst cop ever too
I just like the effect she has on Villanelle

A.P. Bio

Very average comedy, but I had fun watching it every week. I'll continue watching if it gets renewed

Dark: 2x05 Lost and Found

I call BS on Adam. I bet Jonas did that every time and either failed or became the cause of his father's suicide

Killing Eve: 2x05 Smell Ya Later

I'm having a really hard time empathising with Eve, with Villanelle it's easy because I don't expect to relate to a psycho
If I'm looking for fantasy there's Villanelle and for someone more realistically relatable there's Kenny this episode, but Eve is neither of those anymore

BoJack Horseman: 5x06 Free Churro

If they want to make a hole episode where the only thing we see for half an hour is a character talking just in front of a casket, they will do it, and it will be good

Scenes from a Marriage: 1x05 Scene V: In the Middle of the Night, in a Dark House, Somewhere in the World

This was a good show, and I liked this idea of "endless trauma" that they're going with, but I can't help but feel like I liked it much better at the beginning than this final episode
It starts with a punch, and it ends with a fade

Modern Love: 1x03 Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am

Wow, such a good representation of a mental illness.
Very powerful scenes and very well condensed in 30 minutes
It also reminded me of the recent performance of Aya Cash in You're the worst.

Gossip Girl: 1x04 Fire Walks With Z

I was really enjoying this so far with its flaws, but this episode was truly terrible
Julien and Zoya are behaving inconsistently for the whole hour, and the conflict is so sloppy... a huge mess

Ralph Breaks the Internet

The design of the internet worl is very cool, and the references too.
What I didn't like so much is how predictable each twist of the story was, and even less all the morals and messages the movie wants to shove down our throats every five minutes. It was so focused on telling us that Ralph was a bad friend that I was tired by half of the movie, even kids will get tired of that.
It's a shame, because the idea of letting a friend go and evolve is very basic for every age, and not used very often, it has a lot of potential, but if they just use it at the end and by then I'm tired of the othe million messages, it goes to waste.

Marvel's Daredevil: 3x09 Revelations

I'm just so surprised of how good of a character they've been able to create for this season, I like Ray so much. And Dex is also a very well-handled character. I'm really Impressed

Marvel's Daredevil: 3x07 Aftermath

I see where they're going, they want to tell us about Karen's past..... not particulary intersted.
Still felt sorry for her being turned down by her own father like that, though

The 100: 5x12 Damocles (1)

Are they telling me that Clarke was there believing Bellamy was sacrificed because of her and not feeling a bit remorse at all?
And why is he suddenly letting his siter die when two episodes ago he was willing to do everything but letting her die even though he hated her? I didn't understand that sudden change

The 100: 5x04 Pandora's Box

Lately, the more Octavia appears on screen the more I hate her. She's one of the most selfish of all. She doesn't take orders from anyone that isn't her, and then fuck the rest as long as they do what she thinks is right.

Succession: 3x06 What It Takes

Roman has come a long way from season 1. So much more now behind the clown, he has become quite an interesting player.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ended at the top, just because he is the only sibling willing to sneak through the nasty shit and still come on top like his father

Nine Perfect Strangers: 1x08 Ever After

I'm not unhappy they get a happy ending per se, but what a f*ing decaffeinated ending for a story that was going so strong

Even if it's just in Frances' writing (which is a theory I don't dislike), it still feels lacking in execution and packing a punch. Particularly Masha's resolution
