Marianne (2019)
To many faults
Episode one was scaringly good. But after that... it drags on and on. The main character is not a person to identify with. Egocentric, obnoxious, just a bad person.
Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019)
Disappointing
I know Bill Burr as a sharp observer when he shows up as a guest in several late nights shows. Human behavior is met with humour and cynicism in a way we all appreciate. So I had high expectations watching this show. After 10 minutes I started to think: is this the same guy? On an on cringy ranting on US topics (in a London show!), smirking at his own jokes. I didn't laugh once and switchted it off.
Another Life (2019)
With a few changes it can get better
Well it isn't bland. Enough interesting things to make you stay and watch, mostly thanks to well chosen cliffhangers. But I agree, the choice of most characters and their dialogue is not good. Swearing, insubordination, casual clothing. It doesn't belong on a serieus space mission to save the earth. I guess the makers wanted to stay far away from a formal environment like startrek, but the choices that are made are understandable negatively criticized by most viewers.
On the positive side, the performances of Sackhoff and Anderson are superb. I'm sure the others actors will do much better when their dialogues improves. The storyline is getting better along the way and the SFX is okay.
If this series gets a second season, I will surely watch.
Shadow (2019)
Simple but satisfying entertainment
The acting is direct, the dialogue is story driven and you can see the ending a mile away.
But I enjoyed myself watching all episodes. A very welcome from other series where the plot is a 10 layer lasagne. A former cop with a past gone vigilante, an aidfull police compagnon and a simple crime story solved in 45 minutes. What more do you need?
