The Big Family Cooking Showdown (2017)
Horrific
The 2nd season was cringeworthy. Corny and unlikable contestants- esp the Mistry girl who was so stressful to watch and listen to especially at the semi finals- she drive my blood pressure up- can she just chill, I don't ever want to live or work w her!! And she kept bullying that guy on her team.
The hosts were so blah and not at all engaging.
Corny jokes and conversations all round, bickering all the way. What a drag.
The only family worth watching were the Whitakers. Funny and lovely, mum, dad and that young daughter were so supportive and amazing, even their jibes at one another felt safe, loving and just humourous.
The winners were disappointing. They could only make their curries and own dishes well.
Dangerous Liaisons (2022)
Prequel, not an adaptation
First of all this is a prequel so people who expect this to be accurate to the movie or book need to manage their expectations and edit their poor reviews based on that mistaken premise. I thought the 2 leads were extremely likable. Denton for one portrays a multifaceted Valmont- charismatic, confident, vulnerable, compassionate and ruthless.
An unpopular opinion but I actually prefer these 2 main leads to the movie's Glenn and John.
Sure the storyline has some flaws but it tries to fill in on the events before and how they come to be lovers and yet at war.
Costumes and sets (whether cgi or not) were well done.
