The Witcher: The Art of the Illusion (2023)
Really don't understand the hatred
I really can't understand why people liked season 1 and not season 3 (so far). In my opinion, season 1 is by far the weakest with its cringy dialogue and really really bad CGI and overall lousy production value. Season 3 is so far much better in all aspects (season 2 is though still the best).
The plot has gotten more complex, not just monsters and closed episodes, but a deep story with a lot of character development and a build up to he second half, which I can't wait for!
I guess the hate is because they strayed of the books maybe? Too little monsters? I don't know since I haven't read them. So for me, it's totally confusing seeing the hate for this season.
Star Trek: Discovery: Species Ten-C (2022)
Another great episode!
This season started (and appears to end) great. The middle was a bit slow and stretched. But this is really what star trek is all about - learning to communicate with a non-humanoid super advanced new species outside the galaxy? Gene Roddenberry would have loved this! The only thing that bugs me is Tarkas failure to see reason, but I guess he is just as damaged here as he is in The Expanse ;)
Star Trek: Discovery: ...But to Connect (2021)
One of the best episodes of the season
This is some really good old fashined star trek. Building tension regarding the main plot with species 10 C and also creating some nice character based subplot with michael and book on two different sides. For the first time in a while I actually can't wait for the next episode!
Warrior (2019)
I want to rate higher
Based on the story, characters, actors, scenography, martial arts etc I would easily give this a strong 8 or even a 9. They spent so much time and money to the scenography, clothes and settings, to get the show to look and feel like San Fransisco in the 1800's. And they do a really good job - it's amazing. Aaaaand then ruin it all by letting the chinese characters speak english. It's mindblowingly stupid, and made me consider stop watching several times.
If it's to get a larger audience (let's include analfabets tooo, yaay!) or if it's to hide the fact that the main character, a chinese, is played by a brittish/japanese actor, is hard to say. But I doubt Bruce Lee would have liked it.
Star Trek: Picard: Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2 (2020)
Beautiful
The second half gave me chills. Really really beautiful ending to the season, and to the life and journey of Data. Don't listen to the haters, this was a worthy conclusion, that Stewart and Spiner delivered masterfully. Can't wait for season 2.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Different in a good way
Not your typical Star Trek show, but that doesn't mean it's bad. On the contrary it's a good show and a worthy continuation on the life of Jean-Luc Picard. Some scenes really gave me goosebumps, and the finale (specially the second half) was really moving. A lot of hints to the old shows that really pays off for the life long star trek fans. Some subtle, some not so subtle, but all done in a honorary way as an homage to the star trek legacy.
It has some light plot holes and some logical kinks that stops it from being a perfect 10 in my book, and some of the supporting cast is a bit Meh. But all and all a great show that I can't wait for to continue. Patrick Stewart, as always, is fenomenal. Don't listen to the haters, they have probably just misunderstood the core concept of Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry would be proud of this. LLAP.
Vikings: The Best Laid Plans (2020)
Amazing writing
Do people here actually believe that Ivar and Björn was sittning on the empty beach talking to each other and that Ivar magically was moving from place to place? Jesus.. I mean Odin... Most of this episode was theoretical and took place like a mental Battle between Björn and Ivar. Anticipating each other moves and preparing for different scenarios. In the end, Björn realizes that he will lose, thus the stabbing.
This episode was great. Perhaps a bit to smart and unorthodox for the average Vikings viewer.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
A worthy end for a decent trilogi.
The best movie in the trilogy. Epic in both visuals, acting, music and also writing. An action based movie but one that still captures the essence of star wars and brings a lot of emotions. Ties the whole trilogy together nicley and honestly redeems the last jedi a bit (which also has received undeservingly bad reviews, it's not a great star wars movie, but it's not bad). The Rise of Skywalker is a worthy end to a decent last trilogy, and to the entire epic saga.
