His Dark Materials (2019)
Season 3 is a disappointment
I thought season 1 and 2 were quite good, but season 3 has proved to be a disappontment. Every episode is too long and very slow. I can understand that the purpose is to give it a more spiritual or psychological complexity, but I think it feels mostly melodramatic.
And I can't really come to terms with the acting. Most of the actors seem bored themselves with the show and act rather sloppy or are over-doing it. Such a shame because I think the storyline is interesting and entertaining and should have been handled with better care.
I must add that i haven't read the books so I don't know if the show is true to the original story.
Shining Girls (2022)
Terrifying and mysterious
I don't get the reviews about the show being slow. I find it really creepy and it has an interesting mysterious element added to it. The scenes which portray the victims fear are terrifying. The story unfolds bit by bit and the acting is good. I think it's a pretty solid show in its genre.
Inventing Anna (2022)
Worth watching
I think it was entertaining and thrilling. The acting was ok overall and Julia Garner portrayed Anna really well. Quite a performance to play such an unlikable character. Made me really curious to know more about the real story.
