Ghosted (I) (2023)

Terrible

[2/10 · 24 April 2023]

Besides from other stuff that annoyed me, including the sory, the casting, the direction, the cinematography etc. The thing that bugged me the most was their little research on Pakistan. It is not a country filled with taliban looking people in streets and old rusty vehicles up and running, and army running around in weird toyota hiluxes. I mean one can google Pakistan and get better results. For example, they showed a picture of Lahore and wrote Mingora, like how little research does a million dollar movie does. Mind boggling.

Secondly, the weird attempts at comedy, the bad chemistry. The movie was good for the first 20 minutes and then it was all a trainwreck.

Timeless (2016–2018)

History was not just America

[8/10 · 19 May 2021]

The only reason this gets a 9 and not a 10 is that it only focused American history and not the world history.. Because if there's any history nerd watching this show he'll know the real way to mess with history would be Europe and Asia, Not Usa. Other then that.. It was a pretty awesome show!

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Snyder Came Through

[10/10 · 29 March 2021]

We finally got the justice league we deserve! Hints at Flashpoint, Darkseid, ANTI-LIFE EQUATION, Martian Manhunter and Superman going astray! Couldn't have been better, after sometime I got to update my favorite of all time spot. Just as brilliant as his comics are. Was disappointed though at the end. There were less people left over on earth then were suppose to be, they should've hinted more heroes like idk titans, green lantern etc. Nevertheless if brilliance was a movie.

The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)

Kudos!

[9/10 · 11 December 2020]

Just finished episode 7, don't know what the finale may hold but I have to say the story, cinematography, videography and editing, probably the best I have seen. The way this show is produced and directed.. Never expected this much out of a regular max original.. The best thing is that the story keeps the interest alive. In my top 3 shows of 2020 definitely!

Kaley really outdid herself.. The acting and production was extraordinary.. Especially the meltdowns, the going crazy and diving into that other world in her mind.. Kaley really just got herself out of that "comedy, sitcom, voice-acting" comfort zone and nailed the screen!

The Legend of Korra (2012–2014)

One of the bests

[10/10 · 5 October 2020]

After TLA.. This show really does it! I don't know why hasn't there been another show by this franchise because the first two are fantastic.. The main thing to notice was perfection... This show really captures and summarized the story of not onky this show but the previous one too. Everything aang did and everything that was happening up him, this show explains it beautifully. The avatar state especially. I would've really much liked a new show with an earth Airbender.. They should at least complete all the elements upto fire.. 😅

The 100 (2014–2020)

Perfection

[10/10 · 1 October 2020]

Best show ever! And I've seen game of thrones, breaking bad, prison Break and all the other topscorers bug this one really stood out.. Especially the end.. Had me crying, the ironic comparison of the end with season 1 😭

Watchmen (2019)

Perfect!

[10/10 · 26 September 2020]

Great execution, great story, great acting.. And the best possible way to present a show.. Its dynamics its story everything was just perfect. Best show I've ever seen.!

Powerless (2016–2017)

Nice

[8/10 · 25 September 2020]

A really really unique idea, the thing we've all wondered watching superhero movies and TV shows... This show finally hurried that curiosity. Kinda sad it didn't got the second season

The Office (2005–2013)

Was really good the first 7 seasons

[7/10 · 21 September 2020]

Did the same thing as two and a half men.. Kept the show on air for profits for 2 years.. Seasons 7 should have been final season... Just like season 8 of two and a half men should have been final.. After Michael or Steve left it just wasn't the same...

The Umbrella Academy (2019–2024)

My Number 1

[10/10 · 23 August 2020]

A year ago I was laying down and had 2 days until my kidney surgery, i was scrolling down insta's discover page at the moment to give me some glimpses of joy... I stumbled upon a post that said 'Dark House Comics disappoints film industry again with its new series: Umbrella Academy'. I read this and decided to binge it.. Cuz why not? And I had the pleasure to calling it my number 1 show.. And then season 2 came out and it was a million times better than season 1.. I just can't wait for season 3 now 😍😍😍😍😍

Btw when I say my no. 1, I may include that Ive seen Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Dark, Money Hiest, Vikings, Arrowverse and like every other show..

Countdown (III) (2019)

Finally, a good horror film!

[9/10 · 19 June 2020]

It's been like months since I've seen a good horror film... And I've been in search for one since then. Then I heard about a movie from the girl from You, and I thought to myself wth! And turns out, it's a 9 out of 10!

The Social Network (2010)

A Masterpiece

[8/10 · 16 June 2020]

I am not completely sure that if the story of this movie was completely true or not. But if it was I can't help but think that what Wardo went through like laying out the foundation of a multi-billion dollar company and one of the most famous social media application then getting a settlement and an NDA. He was totally wronged.

And also in terms of movies: Beautifully directed, amazing storyline (doesn't matter fictional or not) and great acting... Personally I would at least nominate Andrew and Jesse for an Oscar for this acting!

Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Captures the truth

[9/10 · 10 June 2020]

This movie in a really good way shows the only outcome of war: destruction and death of loved ones. This movie is a treasure and every US president should see it! Just to realize how many Syrian, Iranian, Palestinian, Yemeni and Afghani kids have died. The mistake Hitler made was to start a war, where negotiations could be done...

Pennyworth (2019–2022)

Recommended

[9/10 · 3 June 2020]

Man! Haven't watched a show this good for a long time. I think DC had forgotten about making a show this interesting. This show according to me: competes in every genre. Romance, Adventure, Action e.t.c.

A must watch for DC fans.

Can't wait for Season 2! Hope it airs soon.

Money Heist (2017–2021)

One word

[9/10 · 5 May 2020]

BRILLIANCE, Not only the show has a solid story line but also perfection in execution. It's not one of the show you see and forget about! It shows how imperfect can a perfect plan be. The show connects with emotions and mend them in its favor... Again: BRILLIANCE.

This is my first 10 out of 10 show, not even Game of Thrones or Vikings or Breaking Bad passed this threshold for me!

Runaways (2017–2019)

Should have been renewed

[10/10 · 2 April 2020]

Should have gotten a renewal, it was a great show especially last season. The finale with all the time travel was perfect. Three threats in a season. Would have enjoyed 4th season. Really disappointed in Hulu for canceling it.

Messiah (2020)

Borders are lucky

[7/10 · 30 March 2020]

Gets my rating for just one line from messiah: where you are born is not your choice, the borders you enforce are just lucky! People dying in Syria and a man studying in New York, both didn't have a choice.

How I Met Your Mother (2005–2014)

Episode 22 was the end for me

[10/10 · 29 March 2020]

I loved the show sooo much, I never thought I'll like a show this much. Friends was my threshold of measuring sitcoms but this one passed it with high scores! Though I loved the storyline so freakin much, I do wish that I never had seen its last 2 episodes and ended it at 22. The way they killed of Tracy just so that Ted and Robin wind up together was pethetic and when Barney and robin got divorced it was even worse. They spend a whole, perfect season on their wedding from proposal to bachular party to the locket background and everything the next episode comes, surprise surprise they're divorced! This show was perfection all the teases to the wedding until season 9 so it can all come together to THE ONE. And the actual perfect woman from Ted actually comes to him. But then got killed off. That was a horrible end. For 9 years we were ready to see the one and what we got was Ted and Barney again!!

The 100 (2014–2020)

The best Sci-Fi series out there!

[10/10 · 16 August 2019]

Great story line, great cast, great acting and great character development from season to season! This series checks every box to become the best.

Unlike other sci-fi series this series also kills off its heroes. The main 'survival' story line continues through every season.

Every season shows great development in story and characters. The writers deserve the credit along with the directors.

Antboy (2013)

just an observation

[7/10 · 26 July 2019]

When you realize shazam was antboy's copy. I mean seriously DC what are you doing??

Men in Black: International (2019)

Disappointed

[4/10 · 26 July 2019]

I was actually more excited to see this film than Avengers but the movie ruined it all! This film ruined the reputation of the first 3 MIB films. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson were the worst cast suitable for this film. Somehow they both forgot how to actually ACT during the shooting of this film. Had such high expectations from this film. The first movie showed the story of brave agents with good action but as it turns out this story was opposite to that and a good story. The story shows two inexperienced and horrible agents fighting a fight they do not understand. And secondly this film had the worst comedy. Firstt it was hellboy than it was MIB, they destroying every good movie from my childhood!

Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019)

Most boring film ever

[1/10 · 21 June 2019]

Idk why the genre is action when there is no action at all in this film. I can say this for everyone that this was the worst film of this year. Only the first one was good

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Marvel keeps getting better...

[10/10 · 29 April 2019]

You will never forget this movie! great emotions, story, vibe and action. the movie is a complete package and unlike other mcu movies this one is almost comic book accurate. Marvel used a different approach here, they had never shown time travel in one of their movies and time travel was obviously the last thing their fans expected but they delivered it. This movie was a unique experience, ending an era in style and the good part is that every marvel film seems to be even better than the last one. Also marvel is trying to get into the new superheroes and most importantly using the cinema to get their new characters recognized. this 21 film series is the best film franchise there is. although old characters died in the movie but i am glad that they are looking this movie as an opportunity to expand the mcu and introduce new characters marvel also did a great job keeping the spoilers. they did not announced the cast of mcu members who had died in the previous movies and also did not use any great spoilers in the trailer. i think they are the first ones after star wars to keep the trailer spoiler-free. marvel also introduced humor into the franchise in this movie using thor and nailed it. final remarks: the movie was well-directed and produced. cast was amazing and the animation was great.

btw the most hyped scene was one cap wields the mjolnir and when doctor strange arrives with an army of mcu! hope you agree

The Crown (2016–2023)

Accurate

[9/10 · 14 April 2019]

I'm a history obsessed guy, and i can say that this series portrayed the British history in the best way. The series shows us that the British royals we see today and think they are so perfect are not so perfect, they are also a bunch of smokers and drunk people. Another great thing is that this series is so accurate and correct in accordance to the real history, they didn't made up unnecessary drama just for viewers but they showed us the actual face of British royals. This series also shows that the royals are not relieved from their duties as people say they are. people are saying nowadays that Britain is being run by the government entirely and royals have no role in running the country. this series disproves them entirely. The series also showed that Queen and Prince Philip are not the "Power Couple" and are loved birds, but they had the same marital problems that 'normal people' have.

The Umbrella Academy (2019–2024)

Improved X-Men

[10/10 · 7 March 2019]

This show sis very entertaining and amusing but we can't deny the fact that it is basically X-Men. Some foster kids taken in by a billionaire and were trained there by him. The place became the academy. But still the show was absolutely brilliant the show showed actually wants you to be in deadly suspense, at least got me in the suspense and I would love to see the next season if it comes out.
