Bonnie & Clyde (2021)
Verwarrend
Persoonlijk vond ik het verhaallijn verwarrend. In het begin is niet duidelijk waar Esra (Dilan Yurdakul) 'gevangen' zit. Dat blijkt jeugddetentie te zijn. Maar eerlijk, zij is 30 en ziet er ook niet uit als een minderjarige.
Door het hele verhaal heen zie je Esra en Greg vastzitten. Of dit flashbacks of flashforwards zijn is ook steeds onduidelijk. In het slot wordt zijn haar geverfd. Dan wordt mij pas duidelijk dat het gevangenschap dus flashbacks zijn. Maar hoe zij eruit zijn gekomen, geen flauw idee.
Ook werden er 5 minuten besteed aan een handeltje in de gevangenis (of waar ze op dat moment mochten zitten...). Maar hoe zij aan een toegangspas komen, waarom zij dit doen en wat de gevolgen zij: I don't know.
Oja, niet te vergeten dat Esra zichzelf verwondt. Ook dit stuk blijft heel oppervlakkig/wazig.
Kortom: zoveel onnodige vragen en verwarring. Ze hebben teveel willen vertellen in te weinig tijd.
AlRawabi School for Girls (2021)
Not my cup of tea
I like high school drama. But I find this series difficult. I can hardly empathize with these characters because of the culture. They face problems that I do not understand or find exaggerated. Recognizable problems will be raised for Islamic viewers, but for me this is something that doesn't keep me busy.
It also bothers me that they speak so much English in between. Too much in my opinion.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course, but it's just not my thing.
New Amsterdam (2018)
Where are the deceased?
Wonderful series, looks good, even without all romantic drama that is in any other hospital series. The only thing that bothers me terribly is the number of deaths. It's nil, not very credible: Episode 19 saw the first death. What was made a huge problem, while this is "normal" in a hospital ?!
Tiny Pretty Things (2020)
Tiny pretty things are hard to find
How terribly acted this is. It reminds me of Pretty Little Liars, only a bit worse. The story itself is quite fun, only the storyline is chaos. It doesn't have a nice flow. But at the top of the strangest storyline is the policewoman. What a joke. If the police really acted like this, the world would end this year.
Bridgerton (2020)
Not as bad as many reviews say
I read a lot of negative reviews. Especially about the characters that do not correspond to the era. To be honest, I think you shouldn't be too heavy on that. It's fiction and it just looks good. It is a shame that the first episode is the least fun. This would almost make you stop watching. Fortunately, I looked further, which I certainly do not regret. It seems nice and I am looking forward to season 2.
Lupin (2021)
Nice, but a little over the top
The series is great entertainment. Nice story, but there are caveats. Thus the series is extremely unrealistic. It takes place in everyday life, but the things that happen are (for me personally) a step too far. Nevertheless, it is fun to watch. Minor setback: the last episode. What a huge cliffhanger! I would have liked to see a little more "closure".
Het A-woord (2020)
Unrealistic
First episodes where fine. You understood the grief of the parents and that they were in denial. Only now they run on. It goes so far that it is no longer realistic and it becomes less fun.
Queen of the South: Vienen por Ti (2019)
Intense!
This was the very best episode of all seasons. Goosebumps! I watched with tension and tears in my eyes. What a bizarre good episode!
Las chicas del cable (2017)
Loved S1 & S2
I was really a fan of the series. Especially seasons one and two, when it was actually about the "Cable Girls" and the telephone company. The last two seasons wander completely. Unfortunately, the storyline has deteriorated since S3.
Shtisel (2013)
Interesting but slow
Interesting to see how the Orthodox Jews live. A completely different world, as if we were going back 100 years. I think it is good to watch series like this or "Unorthodox", to better understand each other's cultures and religions. Altogether a nice story with good characters.
I must say that the story is very long without any speed. This is truly slow TV. Sometimes too slow in my opinion. You have to love it or you will drop out quickly.
Dynasty (2017)
Fallon for president
A shout-out to Elizabeth Gillies a.k.a. Fallon Carrington. What a great character. How well she plays this. Every woman would like to be her, right ?!
White Lines (2020)
Huge setback
As I type this review, I let the series run in the background. Hoping it gets better. To be continued ...
I think I couldn't handle it anymore. My expectation was quite high, if you consider that the creator of Vis a Vis and La Casa de Papel is behind this. Everything that should be funny is not funny. What should be exciting is not exciting. I read reviews here that you had to get through the first two episodes, but it remains to cry after episode 4.
Zoe is a bizarre badly acted character. Everything she does and says annoys me. Switching between English, Spanish and Zoe's mega annoying, over-acted accent is awful.
In films and series about Ibiza I think of good background music, beautiful images of the surroundings and a romantic appearance. All the ingredients to want to go that way as quickly as possible. But with this series I don't even mind not being able to go on vacation. Ibiza is a great island, but through this series I even start to doubt it.
I am a few minutes further now, but unfortunately it has not got any better. So I officially stop watching White Lines after 4 episodes. Unfortunately, it's a huge setback.
La víctima número 8 (2018)
Just fine
A solid series. Not high quality, but just okay. If you have to wait for a new season of your favorite series, this is a good pastime.
Toy Boy (2019)
Fine during quarantine
Don't expect a high-quality story / acting. But this is great fun during this corona quarantine. Handsome men, a murder and many conspiracies. A story that is easy to follow. That's how I get through these days.
Puerta 7 (2020)
My sleeping cats are more exciting
When in episode 1 I already pause the series every few minutes to grab my cell phone, get a drink or play with the cats, I already know that it will not be a great success.
Hmm, I don't know. Had a different expectation: tension, darkness, drugs, hooligans ... But it's actually a bit boring. Little happens.
It annoys me that a young woman thinks she can handle the entire system on her own and also manages to do everything. Totally not credible.
But the most annoying thing is the music / tunes in between the scenes. A guitar chord that reminds me of Married with Children, The Nanny and those kind of programs. Of those silly tunes at all times without any purpose.
In short: a very moderate series.
Messiah (2020)
what the f did i just watch?
Weird story. So many story lines that are only half completed. As a viewer, I am left with many questions, but not in a positive way. It does not arouse curiosity for a follow-up season, but more like sloppily finished storytelling.
Mytho (2019)
I don't know if I love or hate it...
A very original story. Looked very promising. But the characters annoyed me. Especially daughter Carole who made a character change from one moment to the next. And for my idea there are so many loose ends where too little attention has been paid. Left a little confused. And don't know yet if I'm jumping for season 2 ...
Dirty John (2018)
Slow pace of the program's progress
An entertaining but very slow story. Of the 8 episodes, 5 could be deleted. Was more suitable as a film. This story could easily be told in 1.5 hours.
Friends from College (2017)
Thumbs up for season 2!
Season one was just okay. Nice when you didn't know another show to watch. But now, season 2... It was so much fun! Humorous, sometimes I even laugh out loud. Season 1 I rated with six stars. Season 2 with nine stars. Good job!
How to Get Away with Murder: Live. Live. Live. (2017)
Breathtaking
I normally never write reviews. But I am so impressed of this episode that I had to write something. Breathlessly looked at this time. The last 10 minutes are exciting, fascinating, unexpected, renewed, well acted and so on. And now quickly to the next episode!
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
From fascinating to sleep-inducing
The first few episodes were promising. At episode 6 it began to lose my attention. Long-winded conversations, sometimes it did not seem to end. And then that last episode, what an anti-climax!
