Comedians of the World: Afonso Padilha
(2019)
Episode 36, Season 1

Super-Underrated
This episode was actually one of the best and funniest, it wasn't complicated to follow and relate unlike other episodes that are filled with local references that only people from the region can understand(Some from India, Middle East and Quebec for example).

A Dog's Way Home
(2019)

Nice "epic" movie but filled with cliches and bad CGI
I usually love dog movies but this movie was not as good as "A dog's purpose" from the same writer, the story is nice, but there are so many dumb jokes and cliches, not to mention the computer generated images that were just horrible to look at. I appreciate that maybe the movie is way more oriented to children that the past one, but at least for me this one is entertaining but totally forgettable.

Narcos: México: 881 Lope de Vega
(2018)
Episode 9, Season 1

One of the best episodes in the entire Narcos series
This episode was a one of the deepest, most emotional and tense episodes in the fourth season of narcos, in has some great cinematic scenes that thanks to its amazing direction make for some truly remarkable and memorable moments combined with a great story.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Crossfire
(1996)
Episode 12, Season 4

Odo, I feel you bro
Quite an interesting and refreshingly different episode in the series that makes a great analogy to what nowadays we call "The Friendzone". An actually touching episode where we discover the more human side of Odo as he becomes conscious of some negative and positive feelings towards Kira as well as seeing some more glimpses of his friendship with Quark.

The Shining
(1980)

38 years later
I saw this movie about 10 years ago and it had an impact on me, yet i just had the weird and probably "unique" opportunity to see it in a theater (Probably an enhanced but similar experience to that available back in 1980) and i have to admit that i was an amazing and moving one, 38 years later this movie still holds a "wow factor" due to its incredible performances and photography while it also manages to creep you out. I also have to say that something that i do not always appreciate is Kubrick's style in making most of his movies slow-paced, which would be my greatest conflict with this title (especially since it was nearly midnight by the time i saw this movie again) besides that it remains a great psychological horror film that doesn't leave you indifferent and makes you wonder about some interesting points in the story.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
(2017)

Bleh
This was just a sad and pathetic entry on an overall great and beloved franchise.. Letting an egocentric, arrogant and unexperienced director to make the next CHAPTER (maybe a spinoff would have been "ok") of one of the greastest stories ever told was simply a huge mistake.

Ilusión Nacional
(2014)

Nice documentary with a great message
It may be mostly about Mexico's Football National Team yet it does a great job at explaining the history of the sport since the World Cup is played, in a way that is entertaining both for fans as well as for people who do not know much about Football.

Star Trek: Discovery
(2017)

People may be overreacting a bit
I think that people judged Discovery way too soon and yes, it is not more of the exact same formula from the past Series(which would be a total lack of innovation) in the franchise yet people forget that the first seasons from now-iconic DS9, Voyager and even TNG didn't do very well and almost got these shows canceled. I personally believe that it is good to have a Star Trek series back after so many years with new unseen stuff (Yet familiar enough to feel like Trek/Trek-Ish for some). Let's wait and see what the show has to offer in the next season, maybe then it will be fair to have a more reasonable opinion about it.
