Secret Invasion (2023)
Kingsley Ben-Adir is the wrong main villain to cast
I have no problem with the story and the acting in general. It's quite enjoyable to me.
My main gripe is with the casting of Kingsley Ben-Adir as the Main Villain. He looks like he was just in for the money, but didn't want to give the acting effort whatsoever. His thugs showed much more intimidating act than him. This makes the whole show's gravitas look lame.
The idea that the refugee camp looks like dump, while their council leaders camouflage as world leaders, just don't make sense. While camouflaging, Skrulls can have jobs and earn decent living. The thugs among them can even form a mobster organization to cash in serious dough. So they could earn enough money to have a decent camp for their refugees. Not like the one shown in the series.

Abusive Use of Imaginative Scenes
I'm not into the serial killer hype. I even avoid horror and thriller genres these days. But the fun and excitement tone of the show successfully lure me to watch till the 8th episode.
My main gripe about the show is the ABUSIVE AMOUNT of MISLEADING & IMAGINATIVE SCENES (including one in the finale episode) that try to trick audiences to think or feel something about the respective Plots, before the editors abruptly switch them back to IRL scenes. The cheap tactic becomes more and more ANNOYING to me as the show progresses. Hope they won't use it again in future season, should they gain enough traction in viewership to validate continuation.

As They Made Us (2022)
Relatable but Lack of Backstory
Every scene is captivating for me because the situations acted there are somewhat relatable to my story.
It's only relatable to someone who've experienced such family conflicts. Otherwise, it's just acting and drama to the general viewers.
What I think it could improve on is the BACKSTORY of the conflicts that are not explored enough in either of the three acts. It all started with parents yelling at each other from when children were young, for no apparent reason to viewers. Making it not so llikeable to them.
