The Conners (2018)
Not so bad without Roseanne
I just watched a couple of episodes and realised that in the original show the most annoying charakter was actually Roseanne. I don't miss her at all. I don't miss her allways making everything to be about her. I don't say I didn't like the original show with her in it, I just want to say that it works without her aswell, maybe even better.
The Morning Show (2019)
Interesting but not flawless
As always, the opinions of the people are divided into lovers and haters and that´s ok. In my case, as long as I´m hooked to watch episode after episode until the end - it is a good show for me. However, there are things I didn´t like. I understand that people are afraid to lose their jobs, but it´s still not realistic that a woman theese days has no other choice, but to sleep with someone to improve her career. I think it is an insult to all women in general. I agree with Mitch when he says that these ladies never said no, or did anything to stop him. Hannah could just say no to him and leave the room. Maybe she would lose her job, but she could at least live with herself. On top of that she accepts the promotion!?!?! I think the "man power" belongs to the past. I´m sure that in the 50´s or so was all very different, but the laws nowadays protect both women and men in such cases. The women in this show are presented as very weak, easy and I must say stupid. I´m a woman myself and I worked with a lot of men in my life and I think it´s just embarrassing what message about women this show sends. If you´re afraid to lose your job and then you do something you don´t want to do, then please learn to live with it and do not make a victim of yourself. The same goes to Mia character - she could also choose NOT to have an affair with Mitch for an entire year... Other than that it´s not a bad show, it shows us how the things work in business these days, and that in most corporations the people are just numbers...
Eden (2014)
Very dark and cold
I agree with most of the written comments and would like to add some of my own. It does show how human turn into animals when it comes to survival, but it is a bit too dark. It is not very realistic that the majority of the group decides that the injured people don't deserve to eat and drink. They didn't have any faith that the rescue will come, that means either they all die eventually or they figure out the way to get fish out of the sea - makes no sense to save this small amount of supplies. Nobody can live forever from it anyway. Second, I believe that in this situation (hunger, desperation etc.) people just don't have the libido for a wild sex in the jungle that only means the waste of energy. Because of that, the sex scenes were not sexy at all, just very very sick. The punishment for the guy that had food hidden could be that he gets no more water and food or whatever, the alpha wanted to kill him because of that - what??? And the thing with Elena - a starved and tired man suddenly has so much urge to have sex that he is capable of raping the girl, and he knows that the alpha would kill him after he does it - totally absurd. The death of the Mario Casas was also very, very parody like - it seems almost impossible. And also why? Why does the alpha struggle so much to kill this other guy in front of everybody. And after all what he is done and said, some of them still went to another island with him?!?!? About the dead soldier ... As we all saw, the island was very small - why would there be a war in the past? People don't just travel to the island in the middle of nowhere to set mines and wait for the enemies to come. Doesn't make sense... The guy has dropped the food in the water - so what - it's still there in the sea, they can all dive and swim. And afterwards there was no sign of that shark - they don't just go away, they stick around for a while to see if there is some more (and also because are some dead bodies in the sea near the beach). I only watched it because I wanted to see Mario Casas in an english speaking role :)
