The Snow Girl (2023–2024)
4/10
Not that great at all
27 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Started slow but interesting and then it turned into a mess. Miren, the lead actress is a dead fish. Her character is very unlikeable, her ego so big that she's ready to undermine the investigation and prove something only to herself. Script is bad, mood trying to be Nordic noir, shoeing always smoky, dim interiors and rain! It rains 40 days a year in and around Malaga! Bad script and then at times turns to Spanish melodrama; mostly annoyed by no cooperation between Miren and Belen, Miren thinking she's IT, and her immovable and uninspiring acting. I hope the money they used to make shows like this is spent in saving humanity from hunger or war!

Beautiful tale of humanity
16 January 2023
Shook me to the core. So poetic, so poignant, beautifully shot, simple, yet complex, it drills to the very core of humanity and identity and lays it out in a flow of scenes, emotions, thoughts, behaviours. Eternal questions and longings that have occupied our minds from the beginning of humanity. A real gem, it needed folklore and horror undertone to tell how hard it is to be a human and believe in humanity. I hope no one is grading it based on whether it lived to its genre as this is irrelevant. So happy there are film directors out there that tell stories like this one and in this particular manner. We'll done, refreshing find and masterpiece!

Echos (2021)
1/10
Horrible
28 August 2022
Watched 15 mins of it and stopped, beautiful day outside why waist it on bad acting, cliched storyline, bad make up, clothes and interiors clumsily wanting to portray a rich city, like party people coming out of the tunnel all wearing sequins, feel like Munich is not a party town with the whole bunch of people wearing sequins! Just bizarre trying to appear western/us style of manufactured reality, everything looks fake and cheap. Sorry not sorry but I cannot finish it, just misplaced and tired so I'll stop watching here, they won't let me post the review until I reach 600 characters so I'll keep on writing for a bit :)

Uncoupled (2022–2023)
4/10
Tired and cliched
29 July 2022
Does Darren Star have nostalgia for Sex and the City? It's old, tired and fake, it makes NYC look unappealing, very staged, bad acting, bad storylines, unrealistic and unrelatable; don't understand the need for it.
