Russian Doll (2019)
From great to garbage
Stick to season one! It was weirdly funny and fresh, well, as much as we can expect nowadays. However, season 2 is pure garbage, really tried to stick to it mostly in denial that something good can flip to trash from 1 season to the next. I kept telling myself that there must be something coming, right? After S2 E5, I had to give up. Story wasn't going anywhere, and frankly, it was painful to watch. This was a 1 season show!
I often get frustrated shows I like get cancelled without closure but in this case, frustration came from the fact that there was a second season and that it ruined my feel for the entire show!
Averaged my rating to 5 - 9 for S1 and 1 for S2 as we can't give it the ZERO stars it really deserves.
As We See It (2022)
Fantastic show
If you are looking for a comedy or an hyper real show on autism, you will probably be disappointed. We watched this show with our autistic young adult child and she enjoyed it. The spectrum is wide and everyone is different. Some of the harsher reviews here may miss the point that until recently, shows on the topic were pretty much inexistant, and although none are perfect, and none will ever be for everyone, this show has its place and is rich in touching moments. This is a very good show with very good acting. Does it fall into some stereotypes, yes but what show doesn't?
It does however shows how embracing our differences and trying our best makes a difference, as imperfectly human as it may be.
Hoping for a second season!

Amazing first season totally ruined in season 2
All the charm of season one is gone in season 2, I have no clue what self destructive impulses the creators experienced to turn a good feel show into a messy drama from one season to another but I'm done with this show - total shame!!!

How to ruin a perfectly good show
Seasons 1-2 are pretty fun dark thrillers. The formula gets a bit more of day time drama like BS in season 3-4 but remains pretty entertaining. By Season 5 it lost all of the original fun - only way to watch it is to fast forward all the melodramatic flashbacks - you can watch the season in 2-3 hours doing so and you will not loose a single thing of value from this season. Season 6 tries to track back to original ideas but I found Season 5 to be so insulting to the basic intelligence of viewers that I simply couldn't get in to it anymore.
This trend the studios have to kill the formula that made a show popular with cheap drama is really getting to be obnoxious.
