How do I love thee, Television, let me count the ways. I simply love television and all the possibilities the medium contains. Be it mini series, long arcs in drama series or clutching my stomach from laughing at the antics in a sitcom. I'm especially down for a some dramatic comedy or comedic drama. I'm amazed by web series and floored over consistent character development. I have a deep love for British series, flawed characters and one hit wonders among other things.
I did not expect to like this show at all and only picked it up on a whim, but this sci fi multi cast adventure is quite engaging and ambitious. The story slowly unfolds and keeps you at the edge of you seat until the very end and left me wanting more.
Yulin Kuang - director and writter - is so talented. Her quirky style shines in this musical extravaganza of nerd songs. Cute, funny and filled with great songs and visuals. This is light entertainment with a heart.
While the ambiguity of The Man might be hard for some people to understand, I personally loved that we never got to know him more. The simple setup of The Man, the booth and the people who he helps is surprisingly powerful. All the actors bring their A-game and Xander Berkeley shines as The Man. Five hours of my life well spent.
Wonderfully lush documentary. I've seen many David Attenborough nature documentaries and I love them all. This has a fresh new approach to how we see the world. It really showcases the distinct environments of the different continents while still being a coherent documentary. Beautifully shot, edited and narrated, *chef's kiss*
I love nature documentaries, so this was right up my alley. This is a wonderful portrait of these five species and the struggles for survival they face. It does a great job of telling the stories with all the dramatic twist and turns that comes with their lives. It is beautifully shot and highlights how much these animals have to go through to survive and thrive.
This documentary tell the story of small town Oregon and what happened when Indian guru Bhagwan created a commune next door. It is an engaging tale where most people get to tell their story of what happened. And did a lot of things go down over the years the commune existed in Oregon. The story is told very compellingly with a near perfect mix of interviews and old fotoage. It lays out the fact from each person and leaves the viewers to judge. No one is presented as fully good or fully evil. It is fascinating.
This is both incredibly stupid and very smart at the same time. It is very over the top, but since the show is aware of how silly it can be and plays into it, it is an utter delight. It is mockumentary on a new ridiculous and darkly comedic level. A case of either love it or leave it and I for one love it.
One of the best True Crime documentaries around. It has everything you need: a complex tale of several murders, a suspect who is interestingly odd and just a really excellent telling of the facts and theories. I don't know why I waited so long to watch this, because it is excellent. Even if you know how it ends, the journey to the end is so worth your time.
I'll be honest and say from the begning that I love The Mortified Podcast, so I might be a bit biased in my judgement of this. This is basically an extension of the podcast, but with visuals and cute little animations. If you like the podcast you'll like this. If you've never heard of Mortified, you'll like it because awkward and weird adolescence is universal.
I quite liked this murder mystery. The acting was superb and I was thoroughly entertained - any excuse to watch Anna Chancellor in action, I'll take. I understand that the ending is different than that of the book, but as I have not read the book, I did not mind. I think the mystery is well plotted and the killers identity made perfect sense. I do however understand if Christie purists don't agree.
