In my opinion Challengers would have been a disaster if it were displayed with a linear timeline. The story is not that special and doesn't have enough potential and depth what in this way they made it absolutely exciting and unique. I think more movies should be made like this. The editing was amazing and I think it is the one to beat for the award.

Along with editing, the soundtracks were so great and added much more excitement to each scene. Also, the actors did a fantastic job in portraying their characters as believably as possible.

Unlike some other reviews, I didn't find the rapid time jumps annoying. I think they made understanding the next scene more interesting. One more thing I almost forgot was the brilliant cinematography which at some points made me flabbergasted, especially in the final scene.

All in all, this is a movie that uses proper cinematic techniques to go beyond its simple story, and succeeds.

I believe what Richard Gudd has done here takes a lot of courage. It is courageous enough just to talk about such story let alone make a whole show about it and depict everything in detail. And what great acting! The two lead actors show real talent and definitely deserve Emmy nominations.

The show is of course hard to watch when demonstrating specific events such as episode 4, but I think it's a necessary watch. The directing and cinematography is nice and sometimes great.

I don't think this story could have been shown in a better way. The storytelling and the pace was good and they did an overall great job.

Although I haven't actually played the games, but from what I've heard from those who have, the show has done a beautiful job in adapting the games' universe. Fortunately, Fallout is the kind of show you do not need to be familiar with the origins of to enjoy. It is well made. The storytelling is really firm and keeps you hooked. The characters are portrayed quite good and you can easily connect with them. The humor is also acceptable and makes you laugh every now and then.

The only issue I have with the show is that it would be much greater if there were some high points included. Throughout the show, from start to end, the show mostly in the same level of good. I mean, the story does not peak or a major event does not occur. The good thing here is that this means the show doesn't lose its touch at any point and keeps the good quality. You can easily realize this from the episodes ratings which do not vary much and mostly in the same range.

Anyways, I really loved and enjoyed the first season and would love to see more peeks in the seasons to come.

I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead and have watched the main show three times. But let's be unbiased. The main show was absolutely fantastic and could have been listed as one of the top 10 greatest shows of all times if the last five seasons of it were as good as the first six ones. The number one problem that prevented that from happening was the inability of writers to evolve and expand the story. From a point on, everything was the same. People fighting the dead and each other over and over. They finished the show with that horrible ending and continued the unreasonable policy in other shows. I said in my review of the main show's Finale that the new Spinoffs are not going to work and I was right about the first two.

The thing is that this universe has a lot of potential but the people behind the shows cannot reach it. Nowadays there are numerous fantasy shows with authentic and amazing concepts that make you want more from them because they feel fresh. We have watched these actors fight the dead for over 14 years. Their characters need closure. Their character development was stopped from a point on. They need to be put aside and if and only if new characters with good stories can be created, new shows be made.

I am certain that most of the good reviews about The Ones Who Live are solely due to the fact that we are finally getting the answers we needed about Rick's arc. This isn't a good show because they managed to have creativity in this universe. It is still the same thing. Just like Dead City and Daryl Dixon. I'll be honest, the first episode has its moments like the chopper crash, but at the end of the day, it is still the same thing. The should have made this into the premiere of the final season, change the rest of it a little bit and be done with this whole universe. These new spinoffs are gonna be exactly like the final five seasons of the main show; not much development in the story, have a few good moments now and then, but nothing special to add in the end.

I have a lot to say but cannot put everything into text. I hope you got the gist of it. All in all, they didn't give the main show the proper ending it deserved, I just hope they would soon stop this repetitiveness of storytelling and leave this universe alone.

I do know that Shogun is based on a book and a previous miniseries but at this era of television it does feel authentic. This is really what this genre needed. I know a lot of people are comparing it to Game of Thrones but it is mainly because most fantasy and historical shows in recent years have failed badly not because these two shows are alike. Shogun can be like Game of Thrones in the sense that it would be the next big thing in TV.

The first two episodes were really great. The pacing is absolutely brilliant. It keeps you entertained, provides enough information gradually, and does not bore you at all. Although there are a lot of subtitles but they even made that fun in some scenes like the first conversation between the Anjin and Toranaga where the interpreter is removed from it. Also, almost all the characters are portrayed beautifully by the actors and everything seems real and believable. The production and cinematography is quite good as well.

I really have high hopes for the show and believe it can mark its name among the greatest shows of TV if it keeps getting better to the end and it apparently will. My only problem would then be the fact that it is said to be a miniseries and we won't get more seasons.

This is exactly what we need at times like this. The comedy is brilliant. You hear jokes which are rarely said these days. The writing and acting are quite good. They created a backstory in the best way possible. The new characters are also relatable. And I think the casting couldn't have been better except for John's dad who although is does an amazing job but I get a Bill Burr vibe from.

Still, I don't think episode six was necessary. That's not what Ted is about. The episode felt a bit off as if they were forced to make one with this concept. We are seeing enough of this in stories in the present time, I don't think we need it in stories from the 90s as well.

Overall, I enjoyed the show so much and I believe it has the potential for at least another 3 seasons which I seriously hope we get. Seth McFarlane has a great mind and is definitely able to extend this beautiful story. We all need more shows like this where the comedy is the focus.

I believe that this show has gained such respect among viewers due to the fact that it feels honest and pure. In the beginning it seems like the story of a young chef trying to keep open his brother's restaurant but it's far from that. This is not the story of one person. Every character plays their role. This is life. Every one has a story of their own. Every one counts. And it's because of this that obstacles are found in the way of any simple business. Of course, no business is simple, especially not a restaurant.

Anyway, this show demonstrates the truth about people, their relationships, and their work. It does it by the help of phenomenal actors, great cinematography and excellent directing. So, do yourself a favor, and watch The Bear.

This show has been one of my favorite things to watch and it would have been so hurtful if it didn't got the ending it deserved. But boy did it got exactly what it deserved. I admit I'm a crier but o have never cried during an eposide like I did for this one. From start to finish the emotions were at the highest in the episode for which, besides the writers, we have the actors to thank who all did incredibly great in the episode.

Gary's story was really perfect and I loved how in the final episodes they made the show exclusively about the love and friendship of these amazing people.

Overall, this, in my opinion, is one of the top 10 penultimates in TV history.

I have the utmost respect for any show, no matter how good or bad, that can provide proper closure for its characters. That's all that defines a perfect ending. I am definitely gonna miss this brilliant show especially after this fantastic ending. I really loved how everyone got what they deserved and not in a cheesy and cliche way.

The good thing about this episode was that the match itself took almost half of the Runtime and that made the tension and suspense much higher.

I thank any and all who were a responsible for the creation of such great show and would really love it if in the near future side shows were born from it.

I would like to take a different point of view towards the problems surrounding the new Marvel movies. Here's the thing, I think the main issue that is causing such disappointments for fans regarding the recent movies is not technical. I don't deny the bad CGI or editing and directing problems, but, the big issue is with the overall storytelling. If you take a good look at each phase and each Saga of the MCU you can kinda look at it as a TV show for which each of the phases act as a season and each of the Saga as a whole show. Storytelling is a vital aspect of any good show. In order to create the best villain, you need appropriate and proper build up. The said build up will probably require to include many side stories which seem to be irrelevant but are portrayed in an interesting way for their own sake. Let me clarify. The first Saga of the MCU was the Infinity Saga which included three phases and Thanos was the ultimate vilain for it. If my calculations are correct, the character had his own movie after 18 others. We repeatedly saw traces of the Infinity stones in those movies and as a result they became a great mystery for us and left a mark in our minds. Therefore, when we finally got to know what exactly they were and how the great villain is going to use them and even what the point of all the chaos around them was, our excitement was beyond imagination. Besides that, we got to know our heroes very well on the ride. In the end we knew everything about them and felt everything they felt because of all the adventures we experienced with them. It was the Finale of the show, and boy what a great Finale it was.

Now, it's time for the new show. I haven't read the comics but it seems like Kang is going to be the main villain of the multiverse Saga. The character is really interesting in Ant-Man 3 and I think can make a really great villain. BUT, none of the abovementioned features are present in the new Saga. The character is not only introduced in the very first movie of phase five but also is the main focus of the second half of the movie. I don't want to mention his faith in the end but let me just say it was not OK with me especially when the name of The next Avenger movie, which by the way is coming out only two years after this, is Kang Dynasty. The great villain of the new Saga fought only Ant-Man and a couple of not interesting side characters of the Avengers. How can I hope for such villain to grow into one which I respect and fear? The issue with the new Saga is that after each movie, or show, you cannot find a good answer for the question of "what was the point of the movie?" I mean one could question the necessity of its existence. Most of the movies and shows are just there to badly introduce new heroes to us. Dont get me wrong this must be done, as it was in the first Saga, but back then the introduction of heroes was not the main focus of each movie. They were introduced and then given a proper villain to fight. And the fights had proper conclusions. Now, for a second, think about doctor strange 2, black panther 2, Ant-Man 3, Thor 4, or any of the shows and see if you can find anything without which the overall story would be hurt. Let me summarize some of the recent projects of MCU for you: "SPOILER ALERT"

Falcon and winter soldier: Falcon is the new captain America

Moon knight: there's a new guy with ancient Egyptian powers

Ms. Marvel: we have a Muslim hero

Doctor Starnge 2: America Chavez Enters

Thor 4: Thor has a kid psychic

Black Panther 2: Shury is the new BP and there's a fish villain in the future

The point of all of them is telling you there is something great coming and you should feel excited for it. They don't make you feel that way, they tell you to feel that way.

The issue of storytelling that Marvel is facing is very complicated and I know I was not able to convey my thoughts about it but I hope you had got the gist. Anyway, I don't think any of the upcoming movies of MCU are going to be an exception of this weakness of storytelling due to their overall relevance and this really pains me that my favorite Cinematic Universe will not make any more good movies for a long time.

It is obviously too soon to review the show since only one episode has been released. Nevertheless, that one episode was so good that I could not resist writing one. The production of the show seems really good, maybe that's what is expected of any HBO show but considering some of their recent projects this is definitely a positive point of the show Wirth mentioning. The acting is indeed solid regardless of what people would say about casting before the show was released. The story is well-polished and captivating and is perfectly fit to one episode. I do hope that the rest of the show is as great as the first episode.

As many of you probably know, there have been several failed attempts in making an apocalyptic show after 2010 when The Walking Dead was released. The first episode of that show is without a question one of the best pilots in history of television. But the thing is it made it much difficult for future shows to have a great introduction of a zombie world. In fact, two of the failed attempts were Spinoff of TWD itself.

But now, after 13 years, The Last of Us has done it again. Unfortunately, I have not played the video game so I won't get any of the Easter Eggs or references in the show. Nevertheless, considering it as a whole new show, I can say this looks very promising and we could expect great things from this show. And let me just say, it is about time that we get a perfect show. I mean, honestly, the last time that some really amazing shows began launching was 2015 when we got Mr. Robot and Better Call Saul. Let's hope The Last of Us be such big of a show that leaves a mark in television history.

One final thought; I remember many critiquing the casting when they were announced. Let me just say I believe both Pascal and Ramzey are great choices for their roles. Along with great acting, the storytelling is absolutely astonishing which is a result of good directing and cinematography of the show.

Overall, this was a fantastic first episode. Hope it stays that way to the last.

This show is definitely among my 20 favorite shows, ever. It is exciting, it is fun, it is amusing, and it is full of emotions. The thing that I find stranger than the fact that so few people have watched it, is how low its ratings are. Honestly, people what more do you want?! The episodes ratings are so unfair. Each and everyone of them deserve much higher than this; especially the ending (if that is in fact the ending). Season 2 Finale was the best ending possible for the show. However, I do hope that they renew it for a third one because it has a lot of potential.

Anyway, if you're looking for a 16-hour worth of time roller coaster that makes you stay awake for two days, Alice in Borderland is your answer.

This is something that I will remember for a very long time. Definitely the best episode of the show and one of the best among all animes.

The idea of the show, overall, is absolutely fantastic. The first arc was great. This one was perfect. The story of Gugu and especially his love for Rean is unique in its kind in television history. Their final scene in the previous episode and their scene in the ruins in this one were great demonstrations of pure love at its best.

Overall, this episode was Beautiful, joyful, tearful, eventful, colorful, delightful, hopeful, hurtful, meaningful, mindful, and of course peaceful.

I'm thankful for the writers of this masterpiece and I wished more people watch it. It really deserves much more that what it has got.

1899 is a show with a potentially good story but the thing is that it is not demonstrated as properly as it could have been. The idea is not that original or complicated but it is a good one. However, the show fails to show how good it is. I really hate it when the execution of a show is flawed while there is a good story to tell. In this case, Netflix is to be blamed. They wanted to tell only this short part of the story within 8 episodes. That cannot work. This could have been shorten to probably 4. There isn't much happening in each episode until the final few minutes. I'm not saying that revealing what actually is happening in this ship should have been done earlier, all I'm saying is that until your big reveal you should provide something else for the viewers. I myself can never give a show more than 7 if I felt for the slightest moments that my time was being wasted.

I really hope that the creators have more authority on the show for the next seasons because otherwise they would be exactly the same; 8-episode seasons that can be shorten to 4 which also won't tell us much until the very last episode.

I am so frustrated that I did not know about this amazing show until recently. And even more frustrated that many people like me do not know about it either. Why is it not talked about more? It is absolutely fantastic. It makes you belly-laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you feel emotions you did not know you could feel and it is also so informative. I have watched more than 25 sitcoms and never did I bingewatched any of them. One Day at a Time, though, was the exception. I could not stop watching. And what a shame it is that they canceled it. It had a lot of potentials and could last for much more seasons than this.

I really wish they continue it in a couple of years.

In my opinion, Gilligan and Gold are the brightest and most creative writers of TV at this time. Their first show was such a great success and delivered such a fantastic ending that even the idea of creating a new show in the same universe was highly horrifying. Yet they accepted the challenge. And boy did they overcome the challenge. Better Call Saul is at some layers with no doubt better than Breaking Bad. The ending, as well, if not better is equally perfect. I mean, there was absolutely no better way to end this incredible story. Everything ended in the best way possible. Honestly, Gilligan and Gold are the Geniuses of our time. Hats off to them and thanks for creating and sharing such an amazing journey.

I would be lying if I said I didn't have high hopes for the show but deep that something always told me a big mistake is going to ruin this story. And I hate myself for being right! First of all, the production is obviously phenomenal. But so far, I believe that is the only positive thing about it. I don't want to say it's not worth a watch but let's be honest, what is the point of making a prequel for TLOR if you are not going to show the creation of Sauron?! You cannot make a prequel and still have a five minute voiceover storytelling of major events. I think the show should have been exactly about that 5-minute voice over. The rest is kinda obvious. We know where Galadriel and Sauron are going to end up. Yet, showing this would have been OK if you at least had some interesting side characters and side storylines. But from what I've seen so far, I don't suppose we will get that, either.

I really really hope that a miracle happens in episode three and everything changes because I love middle earth and believe it deserves a good show. Please, Amazon, let me be wrong.
