A simple but thrilling story. Worth a watch for those who like mystery thrillers.

I’ll be real, this movie was hyped up quite a bit for me and it didn’t end up delivering to the extent I’d hoped. It was still good, but it did not take the direction I thought it would. It didn’t give me the mystery thrills I was craving.

I really appreciated this book for leaning into its concept. It may not be for everyone, but I appreciated that Dunn really leaned into the full spirit of the freak show. I would recommend this book for people who want to read about dysfunctional who are terrible to one another.

This was a very typical BBC David Attenborough documentary. It was nice, but I wouldn’t say it was particularly special.

I’d been hearing about this documentary but to be honest it didn’t present any arguments to me that I hadn’t already heard of, even in the year 2020 when it was released. It’s fine for someone who is young and perhaps grew up with social media, but as a millennial who saw the growth of social media as well as the various conversations and discussions around it, it didn’t surprise me. The documentary perhaps presented more facts and interviews, but it didn’t really interest me or shock me. Which is ironic to say because one of the big arguments of the documentary was how social media was designed to grab our attention, and I’m rating this documentary as just ok because it didn’t grab my attention.

This movie was alright. It was more about vibes but I still found it enjoyable. The story was simple but not empty so the audience had space to think.

So this movie was definitely uncomfortable but I’m not sure if my discomfort was the kind that the movie was aiming for. Both characters are so erratic and uncomfortable to be around and I know part of it is their deteriorating mental state but I also feel like they’re just not good guys. Which is not a bad thing, it just made me empathize a lite less with them. Nonetheless, I understand why this movie appeals to people; it reflects a very unsettling state of mind, state of relationship, and that can be interesting.

This season was still ok but not as strong as season 1 in my opinion. Not bad enough to keep me away from watching season 3, I guess. I think there was some heavy handed writing in which the writers didn’t trust the audience to come to their conclusions and it made for rather cheesy parts at times.

I had first heard about this drama as a spin off from Day and Night but I think they don’t share that much in common expect for shared characters. Tonally, this drama felt more like a typical cop crime cdrama, while Day and Night was more distinct stylistically. I think this drama was still okay, but watch it as a typical cop show.I did think the acting and character relationships were compelling though.
