Shivoncarla

FIRST KILL - SEASON ONE

This sapphic soap about vampiric love is earnest enough to put a stake through the hearts of the genre faithful, but its clumsy execution leaves an aftertaste that's more garlicky than sweet.

3 BODY PROBLEM - SEASON ONE

I mainly begun watching it because of the controversary surrounding the commissioning of the show (seriously, look it up!) but I can say I wasn't disappointed. What's the saying? "No expectations, no disappointments". It asks a series of interesting questions and presents a string of intriguing SciFi ideas in the process. It results in an engaging and mysterious series that will keep viewers invested from start to finish.

DEAD BOY DETECTIVES - SEASON ONE

Every time Dead Boy Detective trips on its own laces, calling out a weak gag or spooning on the snark too thick, it feels that much more disappointing.

DARK - SEASON ONE

Slow stumbles, with no small amount of self-importance, into the same erroneous belief as Westworld, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones: That the twist in the story ... is enough to sustain a narrative that lacks the scaffolding of strong characterization.

BOARDERS - SEASON ONE

The show strikes an ideal balance between brutal honesty and empathetic tenderness, social commentary and fun!

THE BROTHERS SUN - SEASON ONE

There’s really nothing here; no excellent drama to sink your teeth into, only the most tepid comedic bits you’ve seen a thousand times before, yawn-inducing dialogue, and a plot that wavers between serviceable and nonsensical, but never better.

CABINET OF CURIOSITIES - SEASON ONE:

There’s unnerving and then there’s just unpleasant, and sticking a monster in a story in which an impossible-to-like character meets his or her inevitable end doesn’t automatically supply shudders.

SQUID GAME: THE CHALLENGE - SEASON ONE

The show nailed Squid Game, down to how entertaining it would be to watch this all go down.
