Inside Job (2021–2022)

Witty, daring and creative

[10/10 · 3 February 2023]

A lot attention to detail, very creative and daring with the conspiracies theories. A lot of the critics pointing out similarities with Rick and Morty, but I don't necessarily view that as a bad thing. If anything, that would make it more appealing to whomever likes this kind of cartoon.

All in all, I love the one-liners and the humour of this show. Being more or less aware of most of the conspiracies that are made fun of, it's great that some controversial aspects are tackled with witty jokes.

Having reviewed this after watching both Season 1 and 2, I can see it improved greatly. Can only hope future seasons will continue that trend.

The Last of Us: Long, Long Time (2023) Season 1, Episode 3

By no means it would ever be a 1/10. But it leaves something to be desired

[8/10 · 3 February 2023]

As someone who had played the games, I was hoping for more interactions with Bill like he was in the first scene, especially regarding Joel. It was quite obvious that Bill was gay, and the game gives you such hints several times - anyone that didn't catch that didn't pay enough attention.

I really liked his story arc in this episode, but having these expectations from the games I felt something left to be desired. Even though his participation is minimal, his interaction with Joel and Ellie surely would of been entertaining. His addition did feel like "fan-service", but to that end, the fans were the ones that played the game. Thus, I felt the little interaction with the main characters a little underwhelming.

House of the Dragon (2022– )

Great, not quite perfect

[9/10 · 3 September 2022]

The acting, casting, CGI are all great. We are finally seeing the "game of thrones" in the sense of the power disputes that everybody loved. Viewers haven't seen that for a while, ever since the disaster of Game of Thrones - that bare in mind, didn't start in Season 8, but reached its peak there.

As in the beggining of GoT, some of the oufits and armours feel a little off. Nothing major, which I'm sure they will improve as the series goes on, and maintains this amazing quality.

It's faithful to the source material, and presumably will be until GRRM is on board. But if GoT has taught anything, it's not how a series starts, but how it ends. Overall a really great experience, and the adaptation fantasy series to go to. Seeing that The Witcher and Rings of Power are absolutely botched and heading towards disaster, this is a breath of fresh air.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part V (2022) Season 1, Episode 5

Yet again, have people lost their minds?

[1/10 · 16 June 2022]

Nothing of this story makes sense. The acting is poor, the writing is even worse. You can get by this series by distracting yourself in your phone (I suppose that's the strategy of who ever is finding this content remotely decent). Everything in this series is laughable and utterly disastrous, and it's main goal is to serve as a stepping stone for another character arc - which ultimately no one will care about.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part IV (2022) Season 1, Episode 4

Have people lost any sense of quality and criticism?

[1/10 · 13 June 2022]

Currently this hold a 6.3 out of 10 stars. Honestly it shouldn't have more than 2 stars. When did people start accepting such subpar content, sleazy writing and poorly written action? Dear god.
