Ni una mรกs (2024)
Not the typical teenage drama!
This was a suggestion from Netflix to watch. Generally I don t like dubbed shows but still gave it a go as the subject intrigued me.
Story is about a young girl being raped - or wasn t she? And by who? And were there others? How thin is the line if you don t say clearly no? And what if you are so drunk / druged that you can t say no anymore?
The story line turns around the main character Alma and her friends and things they go through in high school life with social media and sexual experimentation. It has a lot of good twists and turns snd keeps you interested and guessing until the very end!
I fully enjoyed this show as a grown up snd can only recommend!
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
Mixed genres
I started watching this mini series not knowing the book and thus mixing fantasy in it.
The story is well played, intriguing, though some dumb decisions are made that I don t think would normally happen.
It keeps you guessing and when you think you know you get taught otherwise - so many great twists!
Up to Episode 4 I really really enjoyed the show and wanted to know who killed who and what happened. I did absolutely not expect this whole body swap thing that kind of ruined it for me.
Maybe because I wasn t aware this was a mystery genre? I think they could have found plenty other twists to make the story work.
How It Ends (2018)
Save yourself from this movie...
This movie does not make any sense. Too many loop holes, too many unexplained events, people appearing and disappearing with no explanation. It touches many scenarios but is in my view not following through.
I was bored, playing on my phone, waiting for something to make me want to know what happens to the characters.
2 stars because I did watch to the end, just to be really disappointed by it. Seriously? What was that? Why did the dad have to die? Suddenly he finds a nice guy that allows him to ride along, where ALL other characters were hostile? Why the rivalery between the neighbour and him?!
And at the very end - WHAT?! No explanation, no nothing?! I actually don t care if they survived or not. Probably open end for a second movie? Will definitaly not waste my time on a second one...seriously: avoid!!
The In Between (2022)
Get your tissues ready!
I don t understand the negative reviews. This is a drama love story. The main actors have chemistry and one is feeling with Tess. I was only sobbing the last half hour, I could feel her pain. The movie takes you along their love story and I was not bored for one second (needed to go to the loo but did not want to interrupt the movie ;) The movie lives through Tess, the support characters are not numerous and are not deep, just support. That does not impact the movie in my view.
I was not looking for anything dramatic, just an easy watch and that s what this movie is. Don t think too much, just enjoy the ride!
Shameless (2011)
You gotta love the Gallaghers!
I m from Europe, I don t know the UK version of the show and discovered the US version on Netflix - and was immediately hooked!
I like the US and was interested by this side of the population and how they make things work.
I kept wondering what kept me watching - it s the well chosen characters, the actors who play them so well you fall in love with them, want to be part of their unique cohesion and see them grow up, grow apart and get back together again.
The thing called LIFE!
As for many, when Fiona left I had struggle watching the remaining seasons. Debbie cannot replace Fiona and I started disliking her character for all the choices she made. I hate not being told what happened to Fiona - one of the major reasons I sat through season 10 and 11 was the hope, that in the end, they would tell you. But no ๐
The show had it s fair ending with the death of father Frank, very symbolic, all children together, him on his own. He did not do much right in his life, but through that managed to have the children watch out for themselves and stick together. The writers managed to make you hate and love him at the same time.
I loved the fact that they showed snaps of the beginning of the show at the end, make you realize how much they all grew up.
I m happy I could watch it all in one go, very addictive show, could not have waited for weekly episodes
If you are looking for a heart warming never boring show with well set and played characters - this is it.
Enjoy!
The Stranger (2020)
Ok if you switch of your brain....
I did watch all 8 episodes because I wanted to know the mistery and the build up was ok to keep me hanging. But the whole story line is so unbelievable, the solution boring, and many misteries remained misteries...the ending was very quick and smooth...I find it unbelievable that this was a novel.
Give it a shot if you re really bored but don t expect answers to all your questions.
Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)
Not bad but not really good
The storyline and build up were good, it.kept me watching. Also the actors did a good job. However I was expecting more of a twist and the end was just...well, I fell asleep...
Country Comfort (2021)
Had me in tears more than once
Great sitcom with mostly lovely characters. For me not a 10 as often dialogues /Jokes are obviously staged and not natural.
Second point is Summer - I seriously don t understand how Beau the cowboy can "fall" for such a character, they just don t match at all and it s too obvious that at some point Beau and Bailey will end up together. But they should have choosen a tiny bit more likeable character as Summer is really annoying and you just want her out of the picture.
So a solid 8 as there was more than one scene that had my eyes filled with tears.
Ginny & Georgia (2021)
Actually I would rate it an 8
But because of the Taylor Swift trolls I give it a 10 because the overall rating does not do the show justice! I doubt that the trolls watched the show as I read the ratings when at episode 2, the Taylor Swift comment comes in the last 10 minutes of the last episode! And you can t tell me that you watched a show for that long and then because of one sentence it s only worth a one-star rating?! I binge watched the show, yes the highschool students look a tad too old and Ginny does have annoying traits, but overall it is very enjoyable with lovely characters that keeps you on the edge and waiting for season 2!
The Good Place (2016)
Love love love this show!
All has been said, I ve just watched it for the second time and will probably watch it again! Such a great thoughtful feel good show! Even if you know what happens, the interaction of the characters is just fantastic and it all makes sense ๐
Another Life (2019)
There is better shows out there...
So.... I actually tried 3 times to watch it, as episode 1 is really hard to watch...once you make it past it the show does ok! Put again your brain aside (as someone else commented, junior staff for a life saving mission, whenever someone dies, just wake up someone else, doing really stupid things on the planets, etc) and enjoy. They try a bit too hard for my taste, not sure I ll watch another season.
Lost in Space (2018)
Switch of your brain...
...and enjoy! Yes there are a lot why do they do that / how s that possible / seriously?! Moments in the show, but it s still an enjoyable show that I binge watched within 3 days. The only character that I find really annoying is Dr Smith...Can t wait for the final season!
Insatiable (2018)
Great dark show
This is a brilliant show, with likeable, relateable characters, twisted story line, deep thoughts and funny moments. I could relate to Patty s thoughts and I don t get where the fat shaming is coming from as at no point I felt "attacked" as a heavier person. Such a pity that the show stopped, another season would have been really great! There is enough potential for it, still some villains alive ๐
