The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Mixed Feelings
Don't get me wrong the action scenes are great,and i like the idea of seeing superheroes with a more realistic dramatic light but my main problem is that it shows too much of that dramatic light them being a dysfunctional family.You can already guess what will happen just be my saying they are a dysfunctional family,everything you expect to happen happens.
Even if i agree that Klaus and Number 5 are interesting and fun to watch characters Number 5 by being basically an adult trapped into a kid's body and Klaus for the character he is. Everyone else isn't just that compeling,you know it is bad when i was rooting for the bad guys because at least they aren't dysfunctional on being the bad guys.
Sex Education (2019)
The Surprise of 2019
I didn't exactly like the 1st part of the series the first four episodes even if as the show goes on it became much better,was grotesque stereotypical and kind of gross.
But then we get to the last 4 episodes..we see tackling Feminism,LGBT and sexual abuse with a lot of respect and the show grows a lot more than the Big Mouth wannabe and for good reasons too!
It doesn't redeem the quality of the first three episodes and some gross moments but the show became bearable and insightful,not as funny as it thinks it seems(even if there are few jokes that are funny) but began to treat it's audience with respect and not the whole ''lol teenagers are horny'' even if it is there.
In the end the show started on the wrong foot and ended on the right one,so pick it up for a 2nd season because it has potential!
Creeped Out (2017)
Uneven but still good
You need rhink that these are stories purpose is not to creep you out everyone said this was aimed at teenagers-kids.If you are expecting a Saw series you are at the wrong show.
I even find it kinda funny how people say it is a ripoff of Black Mirror when there is only 2 episodes revolving around the bad use of teconology.The other episodes when there is a sci-fi element it won't revolve around the bad use of it so people who are rating this low thanks to that don't understand a teen show and that is kind of sad.
But if this is not a sci fi show what are you going to get?
Well think of this show as a modern Aesop's Fables and you get what is supposed to mean,there are stories that instead of animals use Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy elements to tell stories that you are supposed to get a meaning of it instead of a fox you will get a cheater instead of a dolphin you will get a mermaid.
And do they work for that?Yeah some stories are quite predictable as you expect what will happen but when this show is as it's best it can really be a good way to tell a good story even the best of the stories could have their own separate movies just for how good they are. There is a lot of filler stories that aren't exactly bad but quite predictable even if they are mostly a good way to do these some of these stories have good ideas but terrible execution but for the most part this is a good show.
The best thing i can come up with is that these stories can be good ways to teach actually good lessons to be a good person,even if these lessons are basic for what it is it works.
My Personal Top 5 Episodes
1-A Boy called Red
2-Kindlesticks
3-Cat Food
4/5-Side Show Part 1/2
Polseres vermelles: Episode #1.1 (2011)
Amazing
It has some cliches in there but it is a nice start of the show.
Easy: Side Hustle (2017)
Best Episode on the Show if that is saying something
After the episode about oppen marriages because you don't fit the gender roles(i still remember that episode) this was a surprisingly solid episode and i like the idea of two people that want to show the world their true potential but in the meantime they are at their lowest,still this is an episode about how a prostitute and a comedian are similar so with that plot it gets exactly where you want to and there is not a lot to work on but if this is the best we can get i guess i'll take it.
