True Detective (2014)
From 9/10 to 6/10 due to S2
Season 1 was, as many other already have stated, a masterpiece with all the important components such as smart mouthed/witty characters, the ability to glue you to the screen because of intense, creepy or dramatic scenes, and of course an interesting storyline. I loved season 1, the cast and scenery was spot on.
When season 2 was about to air I got excited. The intro is the only thing about season 2 that is not all bad, although I believe it is too long. I had high hopes about season 2, but already a few minuites into the first episode I started feeling restless, I lost track because I could easily get distracted and I had to go back multiple times. Since I had loved the first season I believed that I had to give the second season a fair shot. I tried my best, having watched not all but a few episodes until I couldn't stand it anymore.
The casting was not bad, I appreciate the main characters, although I con't think they were a perfect fit for this story or for each other. They weren't clicking with each other. Maybe in some other series/movie they could blossom or really fit together, making the production a hit, but not this one. In addition to that I also believe that the storyline was sort of hastily scribbled up, not really worked on. It felt kind of like they made something just to make something, to not stand there empty handed.
Stepmom (1998)
Favorite movie
A beautiful, yet somewhat heartbreaking story about a stepmother whom is struggling with the new world of being a mother while trying to keep up with her promising career. Not without difficulty.
Whenever I watch this movie I get stuck, it totally gets me under its' spell and I find myself admiring the good acting, the casting that makes this movie what it is and the storyline. It's one of the best movies I have ever watched and I can assure you that tears will fall if you're into romantic, feel good-movies :')
