The Thundermans (2013–2018)

A typical Nickelodeon show and that's great!

[10/10 · 1 January 2022]

The TV-Show "The Thunderman reminds me on the good old days of Nickelodeon, when the program was full of shows like "The penguins of Madagascar", "The Big Time Rush" or "Victorious".

The show has the typical Nick-gene and that makes it great, the plot is easy and doesn't shifts too much out of topic, even through Max and Phoebe are superheroes, to 99% they have to deal with average teenage-stuff, like family, school and friends.

I absolutely like that Nickelodeon has filmed a lot of scenes outside of the home of the Thundermans (School, Shopping-mall etc.).

I have to add that I only commend this fact as positive because the new Nick-show completely ignore this!

Also positive is the performance of the actors in the play, there is a real effort visible.

All in all, I like it because it is what a normal Nick-show has to be, simply done, sometimes funny and otherwise just relaxed with the feeling that now is free time.

Tatort (1970– )

Tatort was great ones, but now its only annoying.

I am German and I love German filmmaking, they are able to produce great stuff but they can also produce a huge mess, and "Tatort" shows both sides of the coin.

There are great episodes especially the "Duisburg-Tatort" form the 1980s with Inspector Schimanski.

He was representing the typ of man who lived in the "Ruhrpott" at that time, he was harsh sometimes, drunk a lot and bad organized but he loved the work he was doing and he had great respect for the people who lived in the area because he was one of them.

I highly recommend the episode "Duisburg-Ruhrort" from the early 1980s, it's absolutely amazing, a masterpiece of German filmmaking!!!

So glory the past, so annoying is the present, all "Tatort" episodes no matter where they are if in southern or northern Germany, eastern or western, they have mixed up to a confusable, monotonous and discouraged mass.

I gave the show three stars because the old episodes are great and I hope that there will come better times, but today it is not worth more then 3/10.
