Every now and then I get one right 😉

 

By the way, just watched This is 40 last night and I strongly preferred that to Superbad.

 

 

 

That makes me sooooo happy!! ❤️ I think it's definitely way better and way more relatable/enjoyable (and at any age versus Superbad mainly relating to, well,, you know lol). Knocked Up and This is 40 have a special place in my heart! 😁

Finished watching season 2 of RAISED BY WOLVES, probably the best show I have seen this decade.
Season 1 was incredibly refreshing directed by Ridley scott, season 2 might be even better with the storyline being branched out more character development, cool new characters, and you even begin to love the ''villains''.

The mythology and religious aspect of the show are brilliant and thought provoking, just search Raised by Wolves explained on youtube and have your mind blown by the sheer brilliance of this show.

The amount of lore and story telling is something you don't see in modern tv shows, it is akin to (dare I say) Dune

 

My rating: 10/10

 

 

 

Unfortunately I only recently found out that HBO has decided to cancel this masterpiece, in response I cancelled my HBO subscription.
Fortunately Raised by Wolves has a physical release so I placed an order for season 1 and 2 on bluray

Also if you guys could please sign the petition for a 3rd season and hopefully more @deckard99 I know you love the show !

I loved season one but didn’t watch season two when I heard they had cancelled it.  With your reviews I will have to go back and rectify that.

Season 2 is great. Definitely worth a watch, despite the cancellation.

Just finished watching Station Eleven....in short it was one of the worst shows I have seen the past year.

If you like shakespeare, and those awful theatre groups set in a very mild post apocalyptic background then this is for you.

As for me...I hate shakespeare and I hate theatre groups, I love post apocalyptic anything however this was one of the mildest forms of ''end of the world''

Who ever thought that combining those 3 elements would be good should be banned from the movie industry...for ....crimes against humanity!!!😆

 

They don't want to admit it and flat out deny, but this show is basically about the pandemic.

of course they had to add all kinds of people like some sort of weird....circus, hippie, traveling theatre group.
hard to give this a rating but I'll do my best with this abomination, but I will take it easy on them because I like Mckenzie davis

 

Acting: 2/10   (not convinced the cast had zero chemistry, the rating is for Mckenzie!!)

Dialogue: 1/10 (nothing good, I can't believe people talk this way anywhere on this planet, they speak but say nothing!!)

Story: 2/10  (it has no story there is no plot, again the 2 is for Mckenzie, surprised they got her on board!!)

Cinemotography: Irrelevant, the show is so bad I didn't even remember any good shots my brain was too focused on the absolute NOTHINGNESS this series showed me

 

 

Overall: 0/10, forget the generous ratings I gave it, just don't even bother please, here is the trailer you can waste 2 minutes and 40 seconds watching it😂
