Love on the Spectrum U.S.
(2022)

The best!
Humanity in the purest form. I smile the whole time, laugh constantly and cry occasionally while watching this series in one sit. The US version has very memorable characters, Tanner, James, Connor, Dani, Subodh, Steve, Journey, Aubrey and Peter, I love then all. I miss Subodh on the second season. But everyone else are delightful to watch. The support system that these people have are also worth nodding. To name a few, Connor 's kind and supportive brother, James's comical father, Dani's matter of fact aunty, they all so supportive. This gives me hope on humanity. I highly recommend this series.and I wish them love. I do hope that this series won't be tainted with people who just want to have some screen time since I can see that these people will and possibly have become a celebrity and many will want to connect with them. Please we have enough of that type of shows with narcissistic people. Introducing new characters definitely help.

The Motive
(2020)

Yes I agree has potential
To be an intriguing story, but there are so many embellishment. The worst crime investigation conducted I have ever seen ... only compared to police in Indonesia maybe that is worst.

So many people came to the crime scene while the bodies were still there, everything was tampered, a news person with cameramen is allowed in the crime scene? Seriously? Then this police / detective interview the suspect in a neighbor's house and immediately determine that this boy is the culprit based on that interview ? OMG.. I hope they are not accusing an innocent person. No one bothered to see if he has blood on his body, gun residue on his finger... no physical evidence is explored. It's all based on this police detective story who touched his face a lot when he relay the story. I mean, the blood is everywhere in the room and this boy is as clean as a baby... really? I thought they are one of the smartest people on earth? Anyway, I am annoyed the whole time watching it... obviously. Looks like the movie is made to fit certain narrative that's created by this detective. Hopefully he is right for the sake of everyone. Shalom...

Selling Sunset
(2019)

Last season... the most boring season
Ugh, this thing about Bre is just so old already. Who the f care?

Fact is everyone has opinion about something including Bree's situation. And Bre can't accept that. She always said she doesn't care but she does and peop,e just keep on feeding her that. BORING! I literally type this so that producer moves one cause I literally fast forward whenever two of them meet and talk about this. What? You still can't figure this out? People just need more camera time and just getting ridiculous!

Beyond that, it's been ok show (6/10). People definitely change in 5 years. Chrishell is now Chris hell... it's hard to empathize with her because she attacks people below the belt... yes she's attacked before, but then you lower your self lower, just not cool. Chelsea is the coolest chick right now, but things can change. I miss thé always pregnant Maya, and frankly, not that interested in Bre. That's why maybe she doesn't perform so far? Hmmm... No personality, and trying to stay relevant with the Nick's situation and that's it. We're so over it already.

I'm at ep 5, with lots of fast forward, thinking of just go straight to the reunion.. that's how bad it is...

Designated Survivor
(2016)

Started out promising
Then it's just a series of unfortunate events, nonstop that only a masochist and Kiefer Sutherland's ego like to watch.

I should have known when a série has more than 20 episodes in a season that they have to keep up and to do more than what they did - the producers.

If this happens in real life, Russia will be on us already. So if you want to see how incompetent US government can be, or if you want to watch how everything got bad but one man becomes a hero despite everyone else fail or if you want to keep on beat yourself up with bad news after bad news because everyone is so I competent except the writer and producer, then watch this,

Next in Fashion
(2020)

Bias and non expert judge
I just finished watching first season with Gigi... can't believe they get rid of great designers early in the game for a repeated puffy design big jacket.

What this sho needs is a true designer expert who's been in the game for awhile, and, sorry, not a stylish who is biased toward colored designer (positive bias).

I can't believe they make big deal to the only design that has great fit on the up runway (Bao n Megan) and let the other design goes fine even though no one will buy those outfits. Amari female swimsuit is bad. Look at the butt hanging guys ! But of course Jason won't see and say that. I will say, get a better judge!

The excuse always 'great concept' but the execution not there, but that's everything in a fashion competition. We are not judging the concept bigger than what is shown!

I am so disappointed with this show that I write this. The concept is good, but the execution is bad, and for that, 6/10... a D.

Married at First Sight
(2014)

Expert who?
These past few seasons, seems like they just look for characters who will create drama. I mean, I learned psychology. Most of the red flags are very noticeable from the first episode and the experts didn't see nor predict the incompatibility? Either you are not an expert or you are playing with people' lives. But hey, people still watching, so Inguess it's fine, but stop calling them the experts!

I guess I have to write more... anyway, this can definitely be a great show and venue for people to find love. Seems also like many people joined for 5 min of fame. Again, I will blame the experts for letting them Hess people in...

Deadloch
(2023)

So much potential but it was
Ruined by too hard trying inspector from the city that I don't even remember the name. I don't mind the whole town acting purely (to put it kindly), but when a police who is supposedly assigned by a high rank in the whole state came with slipper, acting like a loser, looks super unprofessional and going around calling people names by a lowest names, then I wonder the level of intelligence of the whole state or of the casting/director/writer.

If only the same person, acting the way she is, but at least look presentable, then maybe it's funnier. I other word there is no good quality of that person at all that watching her on the screen for a long time bothers me.

Mind you, the script is pretty funny, and the other characters save the movie...

Byron Baes
(2022)

Dont wastevyour tile unkess you want to get angry
'i dont have any girlfriend'.... said with pouty mouth, big sad eyes, to all the boys you made, then you got air more air time because then the boys create drama for you, did the dirty job forvyou while you are on the side doing 'he said you said you said this!' Ugh I fast forward her scene time, or play games on my ipad. But yes, the drama on this series happened exactly like the above.

I think we should stop giving more air time toxic people because then our young generations think that its good. This type of series, with this recipe is one of the reasons why the young generations now are very depressed and sad...

Amor con fianza
(2021)

Booo... this show should be banned
The producer is very manipulative, deceptive to the contestants. Which, one can argue that other shows are like that too. But the premise of the eye detector is already the biggest lie ever. There's no such thing. Second lie, the detector just say true or lie mainly to manipulate the contestants, to stir te drama. After second episode, I feel bad about them because of the manipulation of the producer. There is no 100k euro here. They probably set with few grand to spare. This is like manipulating vulnérable, some of them emotionally damaged people in front of the world to see. Why even netflix condone this? It's like you know a person is phobia to small space, u promised that person you will give money if you r honest about her phobia, yet lie to the person NS placed her in the small space anyway because you think audience will enjoy seeing her getting scared... emotionally abusive show.

Bling Empire: New York
(2023)

Seriously... ?
Very boring cast except Dorothy. Why we even watch Jett? Obvious that he is in for getting in the 'ride' ... which is whatever, but it's not on this platform please. It's supposed to be about Asian people. Very annoyed when he starts being interviewed.

Vika's partner? Casting is wrong. Dorothy is on point about him just basically using people, and he shouldn't be on the casts because this is about rich, shallow, self centered, racist (only Asian can be in my group) people. This guy is self centered, but everything else screams 'trying too hard' and not real. Which is the complete opposite of this show's vibe.

Tina is sad, a bit bipolar and definitely not ready for this. Obviously depressed and need help. Not Dorothy's help. But professional. Which is not common for Asians. Actually, that should be her story line maybe...anyway, at this point, she is Not interesting enough, to put it nicely.

I write a review mostly because I like a show. This time I wrote hoping so that the casts are changed for the next season...

Ibeon Saengeun Cheoeumira
(2017)

Love love this. I watch it 3 times
A lot of the scenes just real, make sense and very relatable, not forced. You know when you watch Korean dramas and many times you just said 'that doesn't make sense...' either the character or the situation or the flow of the story, you don't really have those silly moments here. The characters are all superb. I love each individual' love story. There were also a lot of funny moments, touchy moments, deep-thought moments, and of course romantic moments. I should say that the writers think about every little thing in the scenes that you don't question things a lot. Thank you for this drama. I also love love the soundtrack. All songs are just perfect for this drama.

Cheolinwanghoo
(2020)

I will give another 20 hours to rewatch this
One of the, if not the funniest time travel period piece movie. I laugh out loud throughout the whole movie. It's just ridiculous, yet super endearing. The romance and the chemistry between King and Queen are undeniable. The actres who played the Queen is on another level although the actor who played the King is also great. All other casts are terrific too. You will fall in love with the two main characters, the ladies in waiting, the palace cook, the general of war, everyone, and also realize that this movie is great because of the antagonists characters too. I will recommend this 100% to everyone who likes Korean period'pieces drama. You won't regret watching this. Thank you all people involve in the making of this. This is really superb!

Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives.
(2022)

Keep hoping that things will get better
She is as much as bad person as Shane. The série is interesting. Toward the end, I was just fed up because I realized that this woman is very guilty and she realizes that. She is not stupid hence playing the role of helpless person. She is an adult she definitely uses people's trust on her. Criminal. People told her that she has family and friends who supported her yet he CHOSE not to ignore them. She knows he is taking money away from her mother, yet she didn't do anything. She knows she's a fugitive. Anyway, it's just a good lesson to watch that there are women like that. I hope both of them go to jail. Ugh!

Bling Empire
(2021)

It's funny and sad at the same time
Essentially there is no plot. Trying to hook up on a reality show for airtime and a forced storyline is not a plot but a put off.

Second season is sad, stopped watching after 2nd ep. First season is funny because when you have money, you can be a comedian in life.

And Just Like That...
(2021)

As have already stated by many...
It's like watching a completely different people. Who are these women. Yes, the issue of racism, gender equality and being gay get old really fast.

Miranda's character is a huge disappointment. I usually watch a movie and hoping for good thing happen, this is the first time I actually hoping for a bad thing to happen to her 'awakening love story'. Her justification for her action is appalling. And that's supposed to represent the lgbt 'story'? Really?

Dix pour cent
(2015)

Tres bien! Highly recommended
I regret that I didn't watch this sooner, but hey, better than never at all. It is a smart, amusing, heartwarming series. Nice to watch natural beauty yet elegant of the French people. A much needed break from watching heavy make-up and heavily fixed actresses in US.

The Morning Show: Fever
(2021)
Episode 10, Season 2

Terrible
Second season is bad as it is, and the fact that this is a season finale wraps it as a really bad gift for the Holidays.

Aniston being sick and exposed in the camera makes me feel like I get sick of her (feel very self deserving.. sorry).

If second season is anything of a glimpse of the 3rd season, wow, Apple TV should interfere with the writing...

The Morning Show
(2019)

9 for first season, 2 for second season
I don't understand why IMDb still doesn't separate the score for each season (yet a special score for an episode).

Billy C was charming and owns the character in the 1st season. Second season, not so much.

I am so over the special episodes for Steve Carrell (seriously, why? He has turned into a saint after a year? Even if he does, I really don't care and don't want to watch; a glimpse of news is enough) and Jennifer Aniston (when she's in Italy, when she's sick and got exposed). Feels very forced just to make her significant but the character was just so flaw that what she did and the exposure for her really seems self deserving. In fact, no one in the second episode seems to really matter and make me care.

Jungle Cruise
(2021)

Low budget, cliche and confused
The movie was probably done in a big artificial pool. I don't know. A lot of computer enhanced for otherwise a very small stage. Possibly most of the money went to the Rock that the movie itself is mediocre at most. Dialogue is smart and witty (some part), but a lot part of the story needs a good editing and cross check. Thee movie is also confused in describing itself as kid's movie, teen movie or? Many gruesome scenes. Emily Blunt is charming as always. It's also nice to see Jack W step up to a role in a big screen movie. The Rock is just himself. Self serving, and the he acts make you feel like why bother because he seems to think that everything will be ok for him... so yeah, why bother?

Big Little Lies
(2017)

For season 1 only
I would just stop watching after season 1. Immediately watched season 2 when it's available on HBO, but to this date I don't remember what it was about. Can't compare it with season 1 which is a MuST see. Season 2 is just an extra cash in opportunity that producers probably think need to happen since season 1 is just so great. Again, if you haven't, no need to watch season 2.

Doctor Foster
(2015)

Do not watch the 2nd season
8 stars for 1st season. 1 star for second season. I stopped second season after 2 episodes. It's like you don't recognize the people because suddenly they all turn into evil. No redemption value. Dr Foster is the most disappointing character in the 2nd season that I almost feel sympathy toward the ex husband. That's the problem sometimes with European drama. So good in the 1st season and for some reason the writer feel like they have to over the top the character instead of focusing on writing a good story.

Too Hot to Handle
(2020)

Why are these people are on TV?
I guess you can anything in US, trashy, bad, gross, yet there will still be people who will like you. This is the example.

Are You the One?
(2014)

Season 3 is terrible
How do you know that your match is your match? Because the producer said so. Are they expert? Of course they use all methods so they said. Can we validate that? Of course not. Strangely, on season 3, the penalty of 250K is introduced and of course it happened that season. Once the premise is questionable, then the show has no credibility at all. Would be nice to show the beginning process, the psychologist, questionnaires, AND the matches token are sealed to be opened at the end of the show, given to every couple as a souvenir. Anyway,

My Unorthodox Life
(2021)

Cliche
You can really tell that every story in an episode comes from the one master mind, Mrs Haart. But they are all rather cliche and predictable. Not sure if her children know how 'sneaky' she arranges things, but Robert certainly knows her well.

Overall, there's nothing real life about it. Miriam came late to Bat's 20 people presentation, 3 kids coming on the same day to share their plans and all got smashed by mom, Aron who is giggly over his role to be the most religious person in the family, a make over day, Julia came late to dates with Silvio to later on end with a 'made-up' fishing date, all are subtly scripted. Miriam needs also to minimize the shock value of her main story ('dating' various people). It's HS drama level. The use of free advertisement to flaunt wealth is over the board -Gucci and Ballenciaga are every where (I'm pretty sure Julia has something to do with the arrangement).

Entertaining enough? Yes for some- I ended up fast forwarded all episodes I watched. Hoping for genuine characters, and yes, Ross from Texas and Robert's mom are the most genuine people there .

So, if watching how rich people dominate the industry through nepotism and colorful box of controls is entertaining, then this one is for you.
