Malcolm in the Middle (2000–2006)
5/10
The first three seasons would have got a 9/10
16 August 2019
I remember having absolutely loved this series as a kid later on I switched the TV on and off when it was just aired but it did not leave a lasting impression. I've been oversaturated with sitcoms and comedy series, so it's nice to see something for a change without tinned food and completely exaggerated forced scenarios

Malcolm in the Middle tells the story of a US lower middle class family; Mother, father and four (later five) sons from the fictional suburb of Newcastle. that's exactly what I love and it's interesting that we all care about something

In addition to a series of parallel acts, especially in the first seasons, the main theme is the confrontation of the third oldest son Malcolm with his giftedness and its impact on his life. That's exactly what I can deal with and identify one of the few slice-of-life things that actually resemble my life or I can understand

How could you save the movie? The first three seasons are among the best and most entertaining things I remember in the previous TV. But what broke the series is not the fifth child it's not that the series went every now and then in the crazy comedy aspect. It's also not that the last seasons have always been boring and dry and not that the opening is getting smaller and smaller. What broke the series is that Malcolm got too old. You probably could have written an interesting thing about this fact around but since the fourth season, the series lives too long and Malcolm was no longer a sweet carefree gifted kid that the world does not understand and that everyone else does not understand but he became a typical teenager and had the typical teenage problems. I do not really want to see something like that, I do not know if you can do a lot with a highly talented character of this kind but I do not want to see him milking as he goes to parties, trying to get into conversation with girls and suddenly drinking his first beer and trying cigarettes , if that were the focus of the episodes and its development as a human being and character you would have been able to portray the super interesting and perfect pages as the company takes us all and leaves bad marks on us even at the top. But Malcolm when no longer the focus of his own series which even bears his name in the title he was literally in the middle. In the middle of the series, in the middle of ridicule in the scrap in the middle of his inability to get into conversation with girls and in the middle of a series by stealing his own brother's girlfriend. After that time, the series was no longer funny but just overly ridiculous and had already developed into a parody of its own. in the middle of the third season would probably have been my favorite series but this is how it happened here is how it ended and as uncreative as it was later I can not say anything good about this series.
