Sanditon (2019–2023)
6/10
If you like periodic dramas this is for you!
14 November 2020
I'm a big fan of Jane Austen's stories so I was very excited to watch this show. It really surprised me in a positive way since the ending is not as expected in most Austen's stories. I loved the more realistic way how things happened. I think the story is well developed but sometimes confusing because of the relationships between each character. However I think they lacked exploring how Sanditon was being turned into a thermal town by focusing to much on different love-stories at the same time. It's worth watching.

Been So Long (2018)
4/10
Don't get your expectations high
22 October 2020
I was quite disappointed with this movie. I love Michaela Cole's work because it's always so "straight to the point" and true but this... I get it is a musical, but the music is what makes the movie boring.

The plot is good but not well developed and there are way too many stories happening at the same time. Also, all those stories make no sense and it's hard to find a guiding line that connects all those characters.

However it's beautifully performed and shot. The actors are fabulous and I'm sure if this was on a stage in any theatre I would've loved everything from beginning to end. But the fact it is a film, it fails on transmitting to the viewers the emotion of the characters or the place where those feelings and actions come from.

I had to watch it in "instalments" so I wouldn't lose focus and actually appreciate the story.

It isn't a waste of time to watch if, like me, you pay attention to the performances, storyline or scenery and believe a bad story well performed is better than a great story underperformed.

Grace and Frankie: The Alternative (2019)
Season 5, Episode 13
6/10
Definitely an odd one
6 December 2019
This episode is bizarre in the sense that it shows one of the many possible scenarios of what could've happened if Frankie and Grace hadn't decided to live together. Many comments mention that the episode is not good but I disagree. I think it's just misplaced. It should be the first episode of season 6. It would've been a funny way to start a new season following the events in season 5. But the fact that they decided it to be ep.13 makes me assume that the writers and producers didn't know if the show would be renewed for another season. It's just an odd way of ending the season since it's not how they ended the previous ones. However it's still a nice episode that shows how beneficial the frendship is for Frankie and Grace.

How can it be so bad?!
10 November 2019
It seemed okay at the beginning and for a little it got my attention but it went downhill really fast. It's just a bunch of nonsense! The only ggod thing is that you watch the trailer thinking the movie is one thing and it's completely different. I just hoped it would surprise me in a positive way but it was the exact opposite. Terrible, terrible movie! A waste of time

The Hookup Plan (2018–2022)
5/10
Different seasons, different quality
13 October 2019
I honestly only decided to watch this show out of boredom. After the first episode I was hooked because the first season is light, coherent and well I love romance. The characters are not intellectual like it happens in so many French films. The show is for pure entertainment and those who love love stories.

However the second season is terrible! Everything happens in a hurry. The characters are beyond childish, selfish and senseless. It seemed like the writers had way too many ideas and didn't know how to put them together. The story doesn't make much sense. It's like those romantic comedies where everything happens in 24 hours. I was very disappointed with the second season. Gladly there a happy ending so I believe there won't be another season. At least I hope so!

If you are bored and don't want to think much, go for it but if you are looking for something with content that might give you a new perspective, don't bother.
