**Started as a 10, ended as a 5. S4 Eddie gets a Purple Heart.** I finally finished watching Stranger Things, and here's my season-by-season review: **S1: 10/10** - Instant classic. It let you escape to the 80's, and had a story that pulled you in, with characters and mystery that were great! Committed to eventually buying the Blu-Ray in my head. **S2: 7/10** - Still decent. Blu-Ray box set still on the wish-list. **S3: 6/10** - Cracks appearing, but not enough to stop the momentum of S1 & S2. Blu-Ray purchase still green (some good series have bad seasons). **S4: 4/10** - E…

this is like if new girl was set in the 2020s and had more conflicting relationships. it is enjoyable, an easy watch—letting the characters make their way into your heart gives delicious payoff.…

This show is great. Anyone giving it a 1/10 needs to log off and go outside to touch some grass. Fer fuck's sake, it's an entertaining thriller with a manic protagonist who gets caught up in what at first seems like a simple scam but soon spirals out into some greater conspiracy. Definitely worth a watch and I am definitely seated in anticipation of a second season!…

The Pitt is a medical series that keeps you hooked, driven by a real-time pace that sticks to the action and makes every minute feel urgent. Noah Wyle is excellent, the clinical cases feel credible, and the writing avoids the genre's usual clichés. Far from boring, it's actually one of the most tense and addictive shows out there right now.…

Practically everything I would have wanted out of a whole show featuring a live action version of Nicolas Cage's "Spider-Noir" character from the animated Spider-Verse films. While this version of "the Spider" is not quite as comically goofy as the iteration seen in Into the Spider-Verse, it works perfectly for this live-action world, which is more grounded, gritty, and real-feeling, yet still with plenty embracing of the cheesy 30s tropes that made the character so iconic in that movie in the first place. And while the approach to the character is not exactly the same, this story highlighting…

Super boring, mid acting, bland set-pieces, what a waste of money and talent and technology (imax). Terrible soundtrack, miscast actors (Zendaya and Tom Holland for sure), too long, bland color palate too.…

Monty Python couldn't improve on this. Suffice to say, someone doesn't know their classical Greek history/mythology too well. They have excavated remains from the site of Troy and undertaken facial recreations. Would it surprise anyone to know they look Greek? Would it surprise anyone, too, to know the main figures of Homer's work, are described clearly, as Greek? Upsides include reasonable if at times miscast acting, great sets, okay action and top locations. In summary, I wonder what actual Greeks make of this re imagining of their proud heritage? For me, what I can say the past is wha…

Frustration on the "bizarre" and immersion-breaking casting choices—such as Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o—stating that Hollywood completely stripped away Odysseus's legendary tactical brilliance in favor of thin writing and modern ideological changes.…

**Score: 5/10 — A Promising Foundation Crumbling Under Its Own Weight** I would have given Season 1 an 8/10. It was a compelling mystery box scifi series, character forward, claustrophobic, and packed with enough WTF intrigue to keep you hooked. There was an expectation that Season 2 would build on that momentum and elevate it to a 9. That didn't happen. And Season 3? Only two episodes in, and the disappointment is already crystallising. **What Worked (Once Upon a Time):** Season 1 was a genuine discovery. The world-building was meticulous, the mystery of the silo was gripping, and…

One of the biggest insult to human intelligence. Nolan has done everything in his power to disintegrate the world, the word and spirit of Homer's poem. Nothing of the message has remained. Even Emily Wilson spurious translation of the Odyssey upon which it seems to be based has condemned the movie by saying that Nolan seemed only interested in shaming the character but no interest in his glory. Listing all this errors would be an endless exercise. But what stroke me is the preposterous commitment of errors so vast that once you stop for a second you realize that they were 100% intentional and …
