Star Trek: Picard (2020)
SEASON 3 ONLY!
I wrote this for season 3 only, with high hopes they will continue the series with current formula.
Season 1, is a big rubbish. This is STAR TREK, have nothing to do with vineyard!
Season 2, again, rubbish. Borg queen have no pride. LOL. And no ship.
Season 3, is just PERFECT. The ship is there, the storyline is there, the TNG old cast is there, the chemistry between jean luc and riker, damn... i missed that so much. You not just bring nostalgia, but a new timeline and believable plot how the veterans ends up.
My only down side is, too dark. Are you out of money to rent some lighting?
And the city where worf and that woman looking for the vulcan, is too generic and not believable. How come across the universe, the guy they're looking for, is actually there?
Jack Ryan (2018)
Why everything is in ENGLISH
I just watched 2 episodes, of season 3, and i cannot stand it.
Russians talking English to each other.
Czech talking English to each other.
With you high budget, why not hire actors who actually talk Russians, or just do voice over. This one this is highly annoying and makes me quit watching. Because no matter how good the story is, it feels fake. I know this is fake, this is a series. But any good series can make their audience felt their involved in there. With this, i just laugh hard watching Russians talking English but with Russians accent. Is this Trevor Noah stand up comedy or what?.
Feels stupid.
So Help Me Todd (2022)
Warm feeling
Pilot is a little bit a mess. But the characters growing, the chemistry growing, and everything looks better now.
I always smile on every last scene. This is not over the top shows. Not with big budget or overdone anything. But bring comfort feelings on every at the end of episodes.
I highly recommend this when you have bad mood or bad day at work. Easy, fun, funny, but warm.
The chemistry between mom and her son, yes it's weird, and the son is comically failure, but still within boundaries of "believable".
If the supporting like the investigator can bring some laugh. Hope they're not cancel this anytime soon.
The Old Man (2022)
Everyone is family
At first i was hooked with the slowness. I can enjoy it how he as an old man, can out manuver 2 young and trained military man.
The action looks real. Cinematography top notch.
But this slow burn don't bring anything, episodes after episodes.
With the worst part is, everyone is family. Even his daughter turns out she (i don't want to give spoilers).
At the end, this is not about spy. Not about CIA. Just about family here and there. And again, it's slow as hell, make me fall a sleep.
I don't watch it till the end. Boring.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Cant wait for season 2
Why... why... why it's only 10 episodes. I cannot get enough of this.
Finally they make star trek that vibe correctly.
I hate discovery to the core. They change the uniform, central minded lead character, too shallow storyline, the spore drive that allow them changing places within second bull****, and too much gay. With Picard, i dont knplow where to start. There's no starship to begin with. Just drama that not fit into star trek title. It's continuing drama, not mission!
But with this, everything feels right. Just like TNG with better CGI. Where federation always put peace first, not went Rouge all of the sudden, science talk believable, little bit funny, fun, and the captain act accordingly.
Bosch: Legacy (2022)
Slightly better from the original
As per my title, slightly better than the original. Which i high praise the original. One of the best series of all time for my taste.
Pros:
1. Not too chaotic, too many characters like the original.
2. Pace move little bit faster.
3. How bosch get things done without his badge, it's nice.
4. More of money chandler character. Love how she's always "almost crossing the line", between good lawyer or committed a crime.
5. New point of view as maddie rookie year.
6. More complex case. Not "just" a murder.
Cons:
1. Get rid of the opening sound.
2. Less jazz. A nuance that i missed the most from the original.
3. Technology. We know bosch is old school detective. Now out of nowhere, he got his geek sidekick who can do anything. I hate this kind of character, it like the writer is lazy and wants to simplify everything. Like the tech girl in criminal mind.
Tokyo Vice (2022)
Where's episode 9?
That's it? No episode 9 or 10?
This is a well made drama, believable character, but episode 8 give no answers for EVERYTHING.
At least, if you planned to extend to second season, just sort out most of the issues from first season first. I felt pointless watched 8 episode with no meaning or any closure AT ALL.
