Shrinking: Boop (2023)
Stick to the plot just a little more please
I really am enjoying this show, but there is a lingering problem that I am not sure is going to resolve itself.
When this show is Jimmy and Paul, it is phenomenal. The chemistry that Ford and Segal have is unmatched, and it's a joy to see them together. The plot with Jimmy and his daughter is truly compelling, and is a storyline that I love to see unravel. The heart of the show is that dynamic along with Paul.
The show really loses me when it strays from that. The side characters are enjoyable, but when I spend 12-15 minutes of a 30 minute episode with side characters. Liz and Gaby are definitely good characters, but it's not a dynamic that I want to spend much time with, when Jimmy and Alice are really the heart of the show.
Obviously I still really love this show, and I look forward to every episode, but I wish we could maintain more focus on the characters that the show is built on.
The Last of Us: When You're Lost in the Darkness (2023)
A perfect start for a soon to be perfect show
The Last of Us is my favorite video game of all time, I've played it 4 times and know every single detail of it. The best part of this episode is that it made me not want to know anything about the source material. This was such a delight and I am so jealous of anyone getting to experience this journey for the first time. I have 100% confidence in everyone working on this show, and I can guarantee we are watching a masterpiece unfold.
There are criticisms to be made I'm sure, a couple shots were a little bland, but let's be real, I have nothing but praises to say about this episode.
The truck driving scene blew me away, the camera work, dialogue, mannerisms, everything, just floored me. And don't even get me started on THAT scene. If you've played the game you know what I mean, just incredible, tears beyond belief.
