The last scene of the show could've been the fire in the sky. End with a bang and leave the viewers to connect the pieces themselves? Nope, here's another hour of dragging this story through the mud and offering zero new information. Whatever highs I was feeling during the rebellion are completely gone now. Pure filler, ending literally LITERALLY as Handmaid's tale. June Osborn show yall, through and throughout, nobody else matters. She's writing a book and it was important to let us know that.

At least it's over.

It's painfully obvious they cut the season in half and I wish such trend would stop. Was it too much to ask for 10 episodes?

I sincerely recommend putting this series on a waiting list until it's complete. The story is too good to be butchered by netflix's schedule, the cut happens just as we were about to head into the climax. Doesn't make much sense and my day is ruined.

It's a shame really. I really enjoyed individual stories and didn't mind the lack of realism or goofy solutions. Multiple super mob encounters and FBI investigations have completely ruined my enjoyment.

Charlie Cale is at her best moving from place to place, stopping by briefly to solve a case and then moving on, remaining ultimately unimportant. It's perfectly fine to make that her choice, she doesn't have to flee for her life every time. Especially when those dire circumstances haphazardly disappear when that suits the plot.

For what it tried to do it's 10/10. All of it felt very real and even I, the viewer, was distressed. For the sake of simplicity I rank things based on personal enjoyment

Do not go into this expecting a classic whodunit story. We know who did it from the start. Detective work isn't shown either. This mini series focuses on 13yo boy, detained, questioned for the murder of his classmate - his experience, his father's sitting next to him fully believing his son, police, social worker and psychologist struggling to remain professional, the feeling of gray rattled school this crime left behind and the society as a whole that breeds tragedy

My only complaint is the length- it could've been a movie with a little trim; as a mini series it needed an extra episode dealing with the trial and aftermath, feels unfinished as is. Or maybe that's what they were going for.

Dexter is out of his prime and so is this story. Without a job in law enforcement it's tougher to make him interact with criminals he hunts. How do you make a rideshare driver center of the plot in a big city? Away from murder investigation we have to make do - getting really lucky with information and bumping into opportunity after opportunity.

He's still making dumb mistakes and has to barely avoid getting caught couple of times. I'm tired of that

All in all it's fine, just fine. Not as exciting as previous editions so I've enjoyed it less. Rated the same as New Blood as they share many aspects - slower pacing, same old BHB scare, too quick wrap up with the main villain, Harrison navigating life.

My ratings tend to be based on personal enjoyment, which isn't the most fair and concrete system. Still I am a regular person, unaware of acting and filming intricacies so I am most suited to simply express how I've felt.

True to the essence of brutalist architecture this story simply is. Ugly, cold, bare, not trying to please anyone or pity itself, it exists and isn't here for your comfort. It's real and unapologetically unsettling. Blocks of concrete kept falling on me and they were not sorry. The developments were heavy and the conclusions unsatisfactory. Well made but I'm feeling low and empty so for that 6/10.

Were they in a hurry, gun to the head, to make this season? It's a sad disappointing sequel. I fear for the third season.

Every major choice is weird and made without thorough preparation. Main characters will run face first into obvious danger expecting a cartoon level of plot armory. What should've been careful unraveling of the organization behind the games turned into pitiful and predictable mess. Maybe that was the point all along, I don't know. Either way we could've gotten a little peak into the matters at least

The new players aren't given enough time nor character to be remembered. They only play 2 games this time, I'm assuming the rest will follow. All in all a rather uninteresting chain of events and people.

I do not understand why was there a need to make this longer than 2 hours. I don't think I've ever seen more unnecessary shots and scenes that drag on in one place. This story could've been told in 20 minutes. It's very predictable as well.

The message is ... you are beautiful as you? Accept yourself? The industry doesn't like women with wrinkles? Those concepts have been explored a million times already and in more interesting ways. Frankly I do not see the point of this film. And no, the technology wasn't explained at all. Who are these people? Why are they doing this? Nobody knows but look - a pair of breasts of a young woman, again. Psychological horror could've been interesting too but it's pushed to the side to make room for perky butts

I can see that this is a horror but it irks me when disgusting scenes are used just to be disgusting. There is no emotion nor impact other than 'ew' and that's cheap in my book. Even worse that the last 30 minutes are all pure disgust just because

In short - do not waste your time. It's not scary, it's not thought provoking, you will see the twist from a mile away.

Halfway mark review since I'm not sure I will finish this. A bit unfair to judge early but dissappointment is another deserved mark of quality (or lack of it)

Episode 1 was fun. Silly, tragic, promising one convoluted conspiracy and I was on board.

By the end of 4th Episode I have realized it's really not giving me anything of the above. There is plot to be followed, dialogue to be heard, scenery to be seen - all without any charm. It's obviously modern yet feels outdated. The humor is starting to annoy me a little. It has many little mythology Easter eggs yet feels as Greek as British museum. Characters have all completely failed to keep my attention and they've had at least 20 minutes each (except the cat). Feels like I'm watching in underworld truly - everything is grey, tastes bland and lasts 200 years.

UPDATE (S6): IT GOT OH SO MUCH WORSE

I hate-binged the S6 in one go. Terrible decision. It didn't need to exist! Except the finale (which I swear is the 5th time they're recycling rebellion in some way)

The writing on the later half is terrible. So many unnecessary scenes, hammering the same concepts, literally spelling out "don't be in love with a nazi", twice, in case we forgot. A lot of time was spent trying to make irredeemable characters likeable, as if Gilead began 5 generations ago and they simply didn't know any better somehow. It's comical how they never really change and we're forced to listen about their transformations.

A story of Handmaids became June Osborne show. The plot can't possibly move without her. Other people don't matter, other horrible experiences don't matter, she has suffered, she has fought and she is the expert on everything, even if she arrived yesterday. It's like her one mission is to be the main and only character.

Another dystopian nightmare, we love those. The odd thing is -half of this show is happening outside of Gilead. A harrowing (and cautionary) tale that was supposed to keep us on the edge turned into politics and dull maneuvers.

June gained simultaneously too much and not enough power. She somehow stumbles in all the right places. Her ploys aren't even well thought out, she's extremely lucky for the most part. The story wants to argue that June Osborne is a strong influence and a leader but doesn't do enough to showcase her transitioning into one. It is comical how many escape attempts she went through. I really don't get why she's still alive.

Too much focus is on dictatorship minions for my liking. I want them out of the frame, not slow melancholic music over sad backstory footage. I will not care for any wife, commander or aunt and yet the show runners want me to have feels for several of them

The Handmaid's tale should've been cut in half culminating in long awaited (and well planned) revenge. We got the diluted version unfortunately. Somewhere between season 4 and 5 I genuinely didn't understand what was happening anymore.

Flashy, overdramatic and way too complicated murder mysteries are so overdone anyway. I was intrigued by the summary and the prospect of psychological battle which I find much more interesting

The problem? I don't know why this movie was made. The only reason to sit through 2.5 hours is the "promise" of some insane twist. There is none. We begin and end more or less in the same way. The son isn't really facing the dilemma of what to do (more being 11, partially blind, scared and unsure of his memories), the mother remains the same for the whole film and the courtroom doesn't really bring suspense or shake things up.

The truth is up to interpretation and prosecution loves to fill in the spaces. But you already knew that. It's not wrong to base entire work around that but please make characters interesting and make them do questionable things, make them grey and muddy, make us question ourselves here and there.

Time loops. Helping another soul. Intergenerational trauma. Human life. All done before so I've counted on Russian doll to add a twist, a dilemma, an unique perspective. Turns out we got none of that. Well known conflicts with messy execution and unsatisfying resolution, truly a dissappointment. I've had hopes after season 1 but season 2 was a cluster of ideas that were supposed to lead you somewhere but we were always back to square one, like it never happened. All the characters introduced in first half were wasted and the most intriguing relationship between Nadia and her mother (and her mother) wasn't even explored properly and ended in a very abrupt, kind of contradicting way.

Natasha Lyonne is the reason I've kept watching till he end and by all means do give it a binge, just don't expect an intriguing plot. Don't ask questions, don't make theories, it will all pass.

I'm fine with completely made up adventures of Dick Turpin. He's a vegan crafter making his name as highway man. Perfect. Some silly fun. The problem lies in the overall emptiness of the show. Besides Dick Turpin not much of interest is going on. For episode 1 he's enough to set the tone but eventually you get tired of it (he's not that funny to carry the whole show), the world around him has to be interesting as well. I'm finding it hard to connect with the rest of the gang and the villain is plain and boring. 4 episodes in and the product seems lazy with jokes that belong in a cartoon honestly. Horrible Histories made one song about Dick Turpin and I think it's more worthwhile than this whole series.

My only complaint is the length of the episodes, standard 50-60 minutes don't work well here. Some episodes feel long and heavy and others have to slap together a few different plots to fill the time. 30 minutes per episode would've made the run more dynamic

I can't emphasize enough how good everything is. I went in completely blind, not too interested in pirates or action. And now - I'm obsessed. It's unreal how nice everything looks. Ships are stunning, landscape is beautiful, costumes are great. Translating wacky super powers into our world was done very very well. I don't think there was a character I didn't enjoy and I am convinced Godoy is Luffy in essence, a drawing came to life and there is no other explanation. I'm still shocked at how good the fighting scenes were, so smooth and exciting at the same time. I was glued to the screen to not miss any move.

My annoyance with live actions comes from the question - why do you exist, what's your purpose (other than money). And I think netflix hit the jackpot here. Manga (and anime)'s length and unusual art style have made them less accessible to some people. This is a fine bridge to help you cross into the world of frightening 1000+ episodes and I'm certain new fans will be born in subsequent days.

I genuinely don't know how to wrap up what I've just watched. Feels like every revenge plot ever. Some cool ideas but that's it. The novelty of masked internet celebrity dies quickly and the story starts to drag in usual patterns. People are awful at times. Bullying is bad. Murder is also bad. Pretty much everyone involved has harmed someone at some point, you can't root for anyone. I was hoping the finale would save it by having Mo-Mi come with some convoluted but smart plan but that didn't happen. Watched till he end to see the resolution (which you could accurately predict from a mile away) and wouldn't recommend it.

I've endured until mid season 2 and realized I should just move on to something worthwhile. Historical inaccuracy isn't the problem, the show states these are only sometimes true events, fair and square. But the events and characters should at least make sense in their chosen time period. Any time period really. These people don't even work as people

Catherine the So-So doesn't know where she is, who she is and what she is doing. Peter the Maniac is part horror part comic relief, a combination that gets old quickly. Their plans are silly, and not in a good way.

This should've been a witty haunting comedy, filled with clever plans and jokes. It worked in the beginning but fell flat at some point, leaving you the viewer wondering if you should just watch a documentary, tragic period drama or disney movie instead. The Great doesn't achieve anything and I got tired of waiting.

After season 1: I've enjoyed this more at beginning than towards the end. It was more endearing following true crime aficionados getting things hilariously wrong, while lying through their teeth to their tight-knit buddies. Branching one mystery into three was too ambitious and the branches resolved in sort of predictable ways. Each story was cut abruptly as a result. The trio got too competent (or lucky) to my taste, saving the day all by themselves. Some parts were funny and some were forced. I also wasn't entirely swept by acting. The characters never break their mold. Selena is too mild for snarky young woman set on uncovering the truth.

The suspense is only present during the first two episodes and it's all downhill from there. I can only imagine how long this will drag on with two more seasons to come

The premise got me hooked - people living in the underground tube. So many questions. Reasonably the answer to "why" will have to wait but we can't even grasp clearly how they are living here. World building is done through small talk mostly. Viewers are thrown in this apocalyptic scenario and have to connect the dots from tidbits of random background information, chaotically placed. I've learned that there is a spelling bee version of so-called "pact", that one character won it 4 times but I have no idea what is the pact exactly. I can comfortably say that after 10 episodes I understand about 10% of how silo operates, who are these people and what they are trying to do

Characters are dull. Their motivations either unrealistic or messy. Too many of them as well. Behave on impulse, shocked when there are consequences

The plot twists are the worst part, blatant and visible from mile away. I don't even feel like tagging them as spoilers. Oh no the reactor is badly damaged and if we don't fix it everyone dies!! (Ofc they fix it). Oh no the obviously evil people are doing evil things. Oh no the oppressive rulers are being oppressive. Oh my god there is something outside (ofc there is, otherwise the show wouldn't exist).

I haven't read the books but sitting for hours only to be rewarded with twists I've seen since episode one is terrible experience. Especially combined with uninteresting cast and failure to capture the setting.

So the series starts well, as well as revenge story can go. After the first episode you find yourself both excited for some deserved belated retribution and horrified at what you've just witnessed. The plan is in motion, even if it takes 18 years.

We are following Dong-Eun as she climbs step by step towards her revenge and all is well. She makes the contact with her targets, you wait with baited breath for her next move. And then - the action slows, threads get intertwined and more and more characters have something to say. It's harder to make mental notes of what our protagonist is trying to achieve and a bit wild that noone is really pulling the strings to stop her so far. Everyone has a hidden story and it's getting messy keeping the tabs on all of them. At times it seems they are walking in circles and waiting. At times it's a bit confusing too. I've found myself speeding up to get to the end only to find out that it's not the end at all. Always check if the series you're bringing is finished.

I hope the second part will be better. It seems like they are capable of very dark things and I got the impression that's where we're headed. I just found myself dissappointed at how muddy the middle part got and I really hope the script will be sharp and crisp for the next part. This series has a potential for exceptionally twisted story, otherwise it's another dull revenge plot.

For a 2 hour movie I did not expect a whodunit reveal to happen so soon, which killed the vibe for me. I was less interested in the way of which the truth will come to light. The psychological thriller of investigators closing in was lost on me. I'm not yet sold on detective Blanc, he gets the job done but he's nothing extraordinary. That final explanatory sequence was pretty convenient and over the top.

All in all it's a murder mystery, it's following the necessary steps but it's nothing outstanding or unique. Bunch of people with motives, bunch of mistakes resulting in unfortunate events and one keen observer with a particular way of speaking. The base is there, it just needed something more to be better and more memorable.

It's the cast of horrible histories and they're back at their old tricks. Are jokes simple - yes. Are they very entertaining - also yes. You have a bunch of stereotypical people from various time periods, they all have their typical quirks and they can't do much besides going through walls and annoying each other. They are still endearing. I've binged entire series in 3 days, time well spent. I don't even know what more to say, it's 30 minutes per episode, give it a try

The only problem is that there's no place for expansion. Since characters are frozen in their time (and place) there's not much you can do with them and I think we've seen most of it in these 4 seasons. Maybe one more with a nice ending but that's it. New house, new ghosts or new project entirely. Leave while they're still laughing.

Essentially this series has two "parts" -a retelling of the well known horror (which is what you would expect) and harrowing tales of those that lived on, which isn't something that we usually see in detail. First part leaves you in fear and shock while the second makes you numb

1) The "what happened" montage So acting is top notch but I have the problem with overall tone of episodes. Firstly - it is too slow, movements, dialogues, music, zoom ins and outs. The creepy atmosphere is exaggerated. The scary part isn't titular monster being a walking red flag and staring at you, it's the fact that you don't know it's a monster until it's too late. Subtlety would've made this 10/10 since we know how this is gonna play out, we don't need every possible visual or musical cue to be on the edge. Would've preferred the chronological order of events

2) The story of survivors is what made this exceptional and something I honestly didn't expect. Somehow it felt like I was there, alive at that time and place, staring in shock and dissappointment at the world until there was nothing. This would've been a great opportunity to collaborate with the families, to be their voice, to inspire people to do better but none of that happened. They apparently weren't consulted at all. Ironically, Netflix did the same thing people in charge did back then and completely ignored them making way for their own project. It poses a question - how ethical is the true crime genre if all we're doing is satisfying our own curiosity and making profits of destroyed lives? There always needs to be a reminder that this is real life and not entertainment

As a mini series this gets 9/10, props to the actors, cons to extremely slow pace. Netflix gets 1/10, a silver lining being them not making titular monster into a sensation. Combine that however you will.

Disclaimer - I didn't read the book(s)

Season 1 is what you would expect from description and themes, pretty linear, pretty straightforward. There is a criminal of the week, crimes were over the top but interesting to follow. Hannibal is a looming shadow in the background until some realizations are made and the tables are flipped, not the most original idea but it works well

Season 2 is essentially in-prison and out-prison bargaining, and I wished it lasted longer honestly. With some more criminals of the week to fill up the space and some shocking moments, topped with a finale which is rightfully rated as the best episode of the show. 9/10

So Season 3 imo was the weakest of the three, 5/10, here's why:

• there were no more villains of the week, but rather villains of the first half and second half of the season and the latter was just a waste of time and space from start to finish, no one could've made that look good, the main reason why I watched last 5 episodes or so on double speed, and even that wasn't enough

• there is a lot of dialogue, not much from what was said really resonated with me. Lots of psychoanalyzing, seemed superficial and a way to fill up space. There is a lot of standing, sitting and talking, a jarring contrast to dynamic pacing of both previous seasons

• in s3 there were too many characters to keep track of - Italian police and the rest of Italians, Chiyoh, Verger household, Molly and her son, Reba, Dolarhyde plus everyone previously introduced, it's a lot and really nobody got a conclusive story here and I still have lots of questions. Half of them served very little purpose, not one interesting person was introduced

• Characters repeat the same mistakes over and over?

• so the finale. I laughed, I actually laughed. I lost patience with whatever's up with Will Graham somewhere around half of this season and didn't feel like diving deep. Needless to say, the final episode didn't really strike a cord here, except Hannibal's (and Will 's honestly) final (?) threats. An open ending, something I usually find not liking very much

All in all, Hannibal Lecter gives this show a 5 solid stars and the plot shifts for the last season, some loved it, I didn't. One final pet peeve - for a show filled with horrors people survive a lot of injuries with little to no consequences.

The description made me expect something completely different. Without spoilers episode 5 is the pivotal moment in this miniseries, completely changes the course of the story, which I liked, interesting take on superhero story. But there are two massive problems:

1) it takes 4 episodes to even get there and the plot is incredibly confusing. That's nearly 3 hours wasted for something that doesn't even matter in the end

2) final episode did absolutely nothing, resolved nothing and still left gaping holes behind

All in all I sat through these 6 episodes waiting for some kind of conclusion and none came. Besides pigeon God, Oscar Isaac and nice imagery there is nothing worthy of attention. Especially skip if you're expecting a superhero story for it is not.
