Baby Reindeer
(2024)

WOW, Just Big WOWS
Brave, honest, and brilliant. I can't believe this is based on Richard Gadd's real life experience - huge respect to him, narrated and acted/directed superbly. The first two episodes were the best, as they presented a light, charming dark comedy. Events became more serious and darker in the middle episodes. The sexual conduct would have better served the story without, let's sat, heavy breathing. The story wrapped up nicely without sentiment . Darkly funny at points, and shockingly sad at others. It really gets under your skin. The best thing I've watched in a while, and certainly a show I will not forget.

Ripley
(2024)

Great storytelling. Beautiful aesthetic.
The strength of the cinematography reigned in this show, with each shot exquisitely executed, surpassing the plot. Continuity of jump edits for introducing or leaving a scene is solid. I couldn't identify with any one character, for which I presume to be impartial in light of all the bland sociopaths sailing the soft seas or sipping their doble macchiatos. Ripley stays ahead of suspicion with his stony smile. He never quite enjoys his lavish surroundings he's procured aside from identifying with Caravaggio's self portrait of holding his own bloody head on a stick.

One of the best Series I have seen recently .

3 Body Problem
(2024)

Be open minded!
I watched the first episode, and it was everything I hoped for. I actually really don't know what was that you r all expecting?! You want accuracy? Why tho?

We already have the books, and we also have the Tencent Chinese adaptation, which is very faithful 1:1 copying the books. So why do Netflix have to do the same thing again and again. It's just different adaptation, with international version and cast (amazing cast), and more thrilling events. So basically if u want so much accurate, just stick to the books or to the Chinese version. And for me in my POV, I want to see something new, something unique, different approach, not just copy paste like the Chinese version (I need to mention that I saw a lot of reviews on it, and ppl calling it boring/slog, and not suitable for the non readers) so that's why I don't mind changes even if it was a lot, in the end, overall, if it fails very hard, we lost nothing, we still have the other Chinese adaptation, if it succeed, its a win win for Netflix and for the creators and also for the book universe!

U just need to be open minded and not judge until u actually see it !

The Gentlemen
(2024)

Absolutely loved it!
It's had some bad reviews, but I loved it. Yes, not the best that Guy Richie has brought us, but it's silly, fun and entertaining. I think the cast are fantastic. In particular Ray Winstone, Vinny Jones, and the dude that plays the brother. I have also read some reviews that the guy that plays the Captain was wooden. In my opinion he played the part really well coming from his background and Army situation, calm and collected. I am hoping for series 2 and if this happens, Mr Richie needs to bring it up a nottch, with lots more antics, and a lot more of Ray Winstone. Totally recommend to any fan of Guy Richie.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
(2024)

Pretty decent adaptation!
People are only saying bad things about it, because it's "cool" to rag on things. The same people that are like "I only watch subbed anime, never dub. Only true anime fans watch sub only" It really wasn't bad. People just like to s*** on things. Just watch it and make your own opinion. Remember it will be different at times. If you wanted to watch the exact same show then watch the animated version. Some of the differences they made are because the actors will age by season 2&3 and so they have to write the story accordingly. This is live-action, actors age. Again watch the animated version if you want the exact same show. That's what it's there for. People are so weird getting all upset over this.

One Day
(2024)

One of the best remake !
This is how a remake should be! , well done Netflix , Fantastic, if you have doubts beacause you love the original movie and you think that , it didn't need a remake , please just give it a try . Anyway! I've watched this first , and then the movie, and the actors here are phenomenal , really something else entirely, i never cry for movie or tv shows but this wrecked me so much more then the movie, cause it's more detailed of course and true to the book. Great job, one of the best series i've watched for sure.

This was sadder than the movie , so prepare a tissues, but i enjoyed it and loved every episode.

Boy Swallows Universe
(2024)

What a surprise show
Outstanding cast - gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, heartening, funny, confronting, relatable, beautiful, delightful....absolutely loved it. Swallowed me wholly and fully .

Nail biting stuff. Even better than the book, sorry Trent Dalton. The fact that it is set here in Brisbane, Western suburbs makes it all very nostalgic and disturbing all in one! Great cast! Fantastic acting all round from leads to all the minor actors. Loving it cannot wait to see the last couple of episodes. Netflix is on fire lately, they released the bother sun which was dope , and now this show. Netflix should keep these great productions coming!

The Brothers Sun
(2024)

A Must Watch New Show
What a great start for the new year .

This is what a series should look like. A real guilt pleasure. Smart and well paced with great character development, both subtle and laugh out loud humour. Michelle Yeoh is a delight to watch. But this doesn't overshadow some great performances by others - notably Justin Chien and Sam Song Li, Highdee Kuan and Alice Hewkin. So Bloody Good And Fabulous sets and fight choreography- fantastic plot lines they avoid every obvious plot turn and take the hard routes to deliver a heart warming and action filled story. I really hope it gets renewed! This is a must see!!!!!

Yu yu hakusho
(2023)

Truly amazing!
Although this live action not really 100% according to manga or anime (60% still based on manga/anime) , It could've been ten episodes but given the uncertainty of a second season I understand why they kept it at five , but still a great show for me. This live action really gives me chill. Every actor/actress play their role perfectly. The most important part is, mostly every character fits perfectly according to manga/anime even do the story line a little bit differ according to the original. Really hope a new season release soon or sooner . 5 stars from me!

This need to be acknowledge more, go watch it recommend to all.

Bodies
(2023)

Most underrated show of the year if not of all time
This is a refreshing story about time travel. By creatively splitting a murder mystery across timelines, the story develops perfectly as the clues unfold gradually. As it nears conclusion, the story that binds them all come together flawlessly. A series that does not need sequels to prove its worth. I cannot say ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS about this show. It has quickly become one of my favourite shows of all time , and in the same bar with DARK . I commend the writers, they created such an astoundingly complicated storyline and somehow made it all come together and make sense in just one season only . If you're a mystery/sci-fi fan, you won't regret watching this.

Blue Eye Samurai
(2023)

One of best shows this year!
I was thoroughly surprised and impressed with this show. While it is true that I'm personally not a fan of the animation style, I can't pretend that the story, pacing, characters, voice acting and action isn't breathtaking to behold. One of the few shows I have ever binge watched! The scenery , the characters are all interesting. Also the attention to detail is second to none, from the forging of Japanese swords to the way people dressed. This show is a must if you love Japanese culture or if you are simply looking for a show that tells an amazing story!. I thoroughly recommend this show for all anime lovers.

All the Light We Cannot See
(2023)

Amazing adaptation!
Who are these critics leaving negative reviews and what planet do they live on? This is a stunning four part movie executive produced by the man who brought you Peaky Blinders, and based on a Pulitzer Prize winning book Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie and Aria Mia Loberti dazzle in a story that transcends borders in the largest conflict of the 20th century as easily as it tugs at heartstrings and brings a smile to your lips. The visuals are gorgeous, the music beautiful and bitter sweet and the ending made even better for those of us who wanted to see Werner and Marie spend more time together than in the book. The story is both timely and timeless and it's such a welcome addition to the drivel that comes out of Hollywood these days.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
(2023)

Wow indeed!.
Because I expected the anime to just be a retelling of the comics, I was surprised that it has a totally new story, with an interesting plot and a mystery that is well constructed, even though its outcome is a little uninteresting. The anime is technically very well done, with a simple but well done animation style, I must praise that the fighting moments are particularly well executed, with a level of fluidity and creativity in the battles that surprises, the story in turn is very interesting, with a twist in the first episode, which subverts two expectations, but proves to be a good change..

The Fall of the House of Usher
(2023)

High Quality Show
The fall of the House of Usher was is beautiful, eerie and captivating. I enjoyed the scary scenes, bur what I loved the most was how well they depicted the madness contained in Edgar Allan Poe's writings. Bruce Greenwood as Roderick Usher was amazing. Mary McDonnell played Madeline Usher very well. Mark Hamill as the lawyer/clean-up guy, Arthur Pym, was fantastic. He made me uncomfortable which means he nailed the part. Carla Gugino, as Verna, was perfect casting imo. She embodied the right amounts of demonic malevolence and demented creepiness. I highly recommend it.

Netflix needs to do a lot shows like this high quality.

One Piece: Worst in the East
(2023)
Episode 8, Season 1

Finally Netflix did it !!
When it comes to live-action adaptations of anime and manga, Netflix's history does not shine. But the new series based on Eiichiro Oda's best-selling manga, One Piece, manages to break this trend. The Netflix version delivers a remarkably fun experience, surpassing previous attempts to bring anime and manga to live action. With well-made stylistic changes and captivating characters, the series keeps the promise of the original material. Whether you're a fervent fan of One Piece or a beginner like me, there's something captivating here, and maybe this series will make you believe more in live-action adaptations of anime and manga.

Extraction 2
(2023)

Impressed!
Extraction 2 again delivers an adrenaline-pumping ride from start to finish. Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake (despite kinda dying in the first movie) for another compelling performance as a fearless mercenary and extraction expert, this time tasked with getting his own family out of trouble. With the usual Sam Hargrave breathtaking stunts and intense combat sequences, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat for the whole ride. The one-shot set piece apparently too 3 month to shoot, and it definitely shows (probably worth it for the price of admission along). While the story also not bad (it's basically a modern day Commando), it makes up for it with sheer thrills and impressive fight choreography.

Sanyanggaedeul
(2023)

Incredible!
Unlike "regular" (or most) K dramas, this short (8 episodes) tv series Top interpretation. Well written story with action, suspense with a lot of violence for my taste. Woo do Hwan never disappoints me, excellent actor.

The duo he forms with Lee Sang Yi works perfectly.

Has more of a Korean movie than a regular drama feel to it; Netflix rarely does a good job nowadays, but with this project, they really nailed it, the show is pure fire! Also, the lead actor Woo Do Hwan did a masterful job of prepping for the role, and his martial arts moves are insane especially his footwork and cardio abilities! I didn't get this excited about martial arts cinema since Undisputed and Enter the Dragon, and that says something!

The Diplomat
(2023)

Huge fun
Should have been a 12 episode series and the finale ended too abruptly, but well cast, well acted, decent plot progression, funny in the right places. All the right ingredients for a bingeable show (which we did) but just stopped after the 8 eps rather than feeling like a satisfying finalé until hopefully season 2 whenever or if that arrives (big - NO HUGE - problem with knowing whether or not to bother with short Netflix shows who take ages to hold onto audiences with news and updates on renewals and when). Great, fun, show tho !

Totally recommend, and don't listen to the bomb review people .

10/10.

Beef
(2023)

Remarkable!!
I wasn't sure if I liked this show, and definitely questioned the dark comedy designation (definitely dark, didn't find much humor). Restarted from the beginning tonight, still didn't find much in the first half or so of the total episodes to justify calling this series a dark comedy, but as I kept watching, I found some more laughs and felt increasingly drawn in to the characters and the story lines. Then OM f'n G, if you're not on board, please do yourself a favor and soldier through to the last episode, because DAAAAMMMMNNNNN...,.not only is it the most laugh out loud, darkly funny of all the episodes, but it's also wickedly profound, and for me at least, pretty damn freaky because it seemed to be speaking directly to my soul, and saying out loud all of my fears. Then, as if that wasn't enough of a mind f*@k, it closed out this unauthorized-by-me film adaptation of my innermost feelings of emptiness and self loathing and despair, and my ever present longing to be seen by playing my absolute favorite teen angst song of all mother f'n time, and now I really feel like I'm maybe living in the Matrix, because WTF? I'm glad I restarted and watched this till the end, although right now I'm only at the point where I'm spontaneously and repeatedly bursting into tears because the final episode of this series got into my head and my heart and my thoughts and I'm overwhelmed.

The Night Agent
(2023)

I really enjoyed!
Was not expecting this to be this good , Excellent series , loved it. There hasn't been an action series created like this for a long time. As a fan of '24', 'Homeland', and 'Person of Interest', I have missed shows like that. This show is up there with them. Only gripe is the unnecessary profanities throughout. I think the beauty of The Night Agent is how everything comes together at the end , with a new piece of the puzzle being unraveled each episode. You wouldn't want to stop. Great action series, very suspenseful

Totally recommend , despite some plot holes and a few predictable plots

10/10.

Wednesday
(2022)

What a surprise!
Wednesday has the toxic and acidic humor of the adams family, the wonderful performance of jenna ortega, great soundtrack and the perfect aesthetic of tim burton. There are some things adapted for the current teenager to enjoy, but it's very subtle and just right, loving it .

I really don't know how there's a lot of people said the acting is not good , I really thought that the actors and the acting is perfect.

I enjoyed every part of the s series, and I was shocked when I saw it I didn't expect that good quality of production and amazing visual and great vibes .

And we don't forget the fantasy elementary was very good .

10/10.

1899
(2022)

It's just a brilliant start
Like I guessed it will bomb review.

I just need to say it just was a perfect start with a perfect plot.

Just don't listen to the haters You should know that this season it just a start .

Sure it will be a little bit slow but all of this is build up to what will happen next So be patient my dears , the creator doesn't disappoint us I promise you Perfect cast and perfect soundtrack like we guessed it will be and good story line and that's it It was a perfect first season

Maybe not a masterpiece yet , but I have high hopes on what to comes next , so I really hope it will get renewed and not canceled like the other shows .

The Witcher
(2019)

One of the best on Netflix!!
I don't understand why there's a lot of hate on the series especially the second season, ok sure the second season wasn't perfect like the first one , but still well made , and enjoyable , And it's clearly was building for s03. So enough with this hate and let the people enjoy it.

The Sandman
(2022)

Just Perfect!!
Please the woke people , just don't ruin the series on us. There's a lot of people have been waiting for this for 30 year , maybe it wasn't perfect for you , but it was surly will made. Netflix put the budget and Neil did his best and that's what we get . And I'm Satisfied with it.
