CARNIVAL ROW SEASON 1:

Director: Travis Beacham and René Echvarria Stars: Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne, Simon McBurney, Tamzin Merchant, David Gyasi and Karla Crome Genre: Crime, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller Episodes: 8 Release Year: 2019

The reason I started this series right now is of course because of its 2nd season and I have to say I'm glad I started it. However, I really had to get into it. The build up of the series is really very slow. I liked the first 5 episodes, except for episode 3, which is really good. I can immediately say that Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne have really good chemistry in the series. I missed this a bit in the beginning, but as the series progressed it became more and more important. I was a bit skeptical at first but afterwards I can say for sure that the world building is really very good and I am very curious where the 2nd season will go. There is only something else that bothered me a bit and that is that one of the storylines doesn't interest me that much and it doesn't really add anything to the whole story until now. I think they could have given more attention to the other storylines. The quality of the series is really very good and the setpieces are really incredibly beautifully made. I've really been amazed and can't wait to see more of it. The actors also play very well. I think it's really a shame that in some storylines I missed a bit of cohesion with the other lines and that the build-up was a bit slow.

7.3/10.

Season 1: I heard really positive reactions to this series and it was really a shame that I had never seen this. Now that I've seen it, I must honestly say that I think it's a bit overhyped. Maybe season 2 will be better. I don't want to say that the series is bad at all not only I think it is less than most other people. Pedro Pascal is really great in the role and I'm a really, really big fan of his acting. There were also nice characters in the series. The thing that annoyed me the most was that some episodes felt a bit like filler and I don't think that's a bad thing, but overall the story could have been a bit more extensive. Maybe I was expecting too much from the series. Furthermore, Grogu is really very cute and the soundtrack is really very good. I was really amazed by the soundtrack. What I also like is that this series is a bit smaller than for example andor. I don't think that every series and film needs to contribute more to the entire universe. I kind of liked this because now you feel more like it's much broader than just all the jedis and sithlords. I definitely recommend watching, because every episode feels unique and different and that was something I found very positive.

WILLOW

Director: Jonathan Kasdan Stars: Ruby Cruz, Ellie Bamber, Tony Revolori, Erin Kellyman, Amar Chadha-Patel and Warwick Davis Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Romance episodes: 8 Release year: 2022

I had seen the trailer of this series and I was really curious despite never having seen the movie. I had seen the first episode and I was actually a bit disappointed. I was hoping that the upcoming episodes would get better, but unfortunately they didn't. What bothers me is that the dialogue just isn't very good and the series was made a bit too quickly I feel. What is really a very nice thing is that the characters are really fantastic! Willow is really, really cool and actually there are hardly any characters that I really dislike. What I also like is that every episode takes place in a slightly different place. This is not in the beginning, as the first half of the season takes place almost entirely in a forest. What I actually find a bit unfortunate is that the series sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously. I have to say that the last episode is really the best. The action is not equally good everywhere I must say. I liked the action in the last 2 episodes, but before that there are a number of action scenes that are really not that good. What I also find a bit unfortunate is that the villains in the story are not really enough in my opinion. I really wanted to see more of them and I really think it's a shame that we didn't see much more than a few action scenes from some of the characters. I really only recommend this series if you're a fan of willow or if you just want to watch something fun and you don't care if it's good.
