Wednesday (2022– )

Suprisingly good

[8/10 · 1 December 2022]

So I'm gonna start with that I had no high expectations going into this as Netflix is either a hit or miss.

I don't remember the last time I did a review for a Netflix show probably Stranger Things and I felt that there was such a nostalgic but yet something very fresh about the show.

Jenna Ortega played Wednesday Adams perfectly and I do think she brought a breath of fresh air to the show.

I'm glad the focus was on Wednesday (Show named after her duh!) with little glimpses of her family. I do think this is a great debut to the Adams Family and I cant wait for season 2.

This show is not for everyone but will certainly please people who like Mystery.

Black Adam (2022)

Black Adam is a fun entertaining movie

[7/10 · 1 November 2022]

Black Adam is a great way to restart the DCEU with a different view, more fan enjoyment less what the studio wants.

Black Adam is for the Audience and it was a really fun movie but It lacked in storytelling, I do still think Man of Steel is their best DCEU movie and I'm so excited that it will be back.

This has more of an action sequence movie type feel, it didn't really focus on character development for Dr. Fate and the other characters like Hawkman. While Atom smasher had comical reliefs throughout the movie him and cyclone were at the bottom of the tier list.

Expect to go in with crazy explosions amazing slow mos and kickassery.

Dr. Fate stole the show and was sadly very underpowered in this movie, he is way stronger than what they Showed. I hope Pierce Brosnan will be reprise his role as Dr. Fate as it was a perfect representation of Dr. Fate and his mannerism.

Hawkamn was beatufiully casted and had amazing dynamic with Fate and the other characters as the leader of JSA.

Do not expect a masterpiece but expect to go in the Theatres expecting fun and a lot of action sequence, it will not be a very memorable movie atleast for me it was not, but it was fun and having Supes in the post credit. It was truly a highlight and I giggled like a little kid because Supes is one of my favourite Heroes.

Superman & Lois: Truth and Consequences (2022) Season 2, Episode 11

A great episode

[10/10 · 9 May 2022]

I'm here to say I think David Ramsey should definitely be the one directing this show, he seems to be a great anchor as a Director, giving great visuals and a great performance with the shows intentions.

This episode had such a nice vibe that I got chills on more than one part of this episode. I really hope David Ramsey comes and directs more episodes I love this episode and can't wait for the next one even if its 3 weeks away.

Cobra Kai: The Rise (2021) Season 4, Episode 10

Great Season 4

[10/10 · 4 January 2022]

One of the best episodes on this season, loved the suspense, honestly the fights were very unexpected and loved the slowmo sequences, can't wait for the next season. I love the fight scenes i really hope they kick it into next gear and include more next season.

All American: Show Me a Good Time (2021) Season 4, Episode 6

Wonderful Episode

[10/10 · 7 December 2021]

Gonna start with saying this episode was just pure fun, no serious Drama they just focused on being kids on highschool and want to enjoy their Senior Ditch day, which was awesome! Loved the idea behind how some of them might not see each other again after graduation, but it was just a great episode with great moments for Spencer and Olivia.

I got really sad for JJ when he was recording his time capsule, if they don't tell JJ how much they appreciate him and how he always brings the positive vibes and just wants his friends to be together all the time. He just wants validation that he's not just a party animal with no feelings.

The Black Phone (2021)

Yeah, Ethan Hawke at it again.

[7/10 · 9 November 2021]

Ethan Hawke is at it again, I loved the vibe of the movie, director came in clutch with this movie, it was truly surprising. Didn't expect it to be even remotely good, when this movie does fully release in theaters please do watch it in the big screens you will not regret it, child actors are incredible. I thought i saw the whole movie in the trailers, oh boy I was wrong.

Lucifer: Goodbye, Lucifer (2021) Season 6, Episode 9

MY EYES!!!!

[10/10 · 25 September 2021]

Its like have an allergic reaction, for some reason my eyes kept pouring water out, weird! In all seriousness what a beautiful episode, the cast seemed so close and it all felt so real.

Just get some tissues and cry because that's all you're gonna be doing this episode.

Lucifer: Partners 'Til the End (2021) Season 6, Episode 10

A great series finale, my eyes were destroyed

[10/10 · 25 September 2021]

Thank you Lucifer for all these amazing years. I can't believe its been 5 years of me watching a devil going on an amazing journey, amazing character development. This finale killed me kept blowing my nose and wiping tears away, what a perfect ending with barely any flaws.

1 flaw was Lucifer never came back and sneaked into Chloe's life he actually was away till the day she died which made me incredibly sad that she wasn't with Lucifer until the reunion, nonetheless an amazing series finale that is worth a 10 from me.

He's All That (2021)

Can we get a good heartwarming movie

[2/10 · 27 August 2021]

Why are these kind of movies so generic right now, I gave this movie 15 minutes but the acting was horrendous I could not continue.

The original was so much better.

Superman & Lois: Last Sons of Krypton (2021) Season 1, Episode 15

Awesome and touching

[10/10 · 27 August 2021]

This is what Superman really is, goodness fun and just a good time watching it, I love that they're focusing on family and how Superman truly is. Can't wait for season 2.

Superman & Lois: A Brief Reminiscence In-Between Cataclysmic Events (2021) Season 1, Episode 11

AMAZINGGGGGGGG!

[10/10 · 2 July 2021]

What an episode, I can't with this show, each episode is seriously getting better oh please god don't ruin it, I loved this episode so many goosebumps moments. It gave me so many chills, I don't know this episode felt so nostalgia like it's been running for a long time, I'm very invested and I need more. PERFECT EPISODE.

Superman & Lois: Holding the Wrench (2021) Season 1, Episode 8

ANOTHER BANGER EPISODE

[9/10 · 3 June 2021]

I really appreciate the quality of each episode, each episode is a different vibe, love the backstory that was introduced, loved everything about this episode.

The effects were amazingly done and all I can say is this is one of the best If not the best Superhero show on CW. I'm glad they're implementing more elements to each new episode. Great performances in this episode.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

The movie we deserved after so long

[10/10 · 19 March 2021]

Finally, the movie we get is the one we deserved, i was so scared to watch this, yet the movie did not disappoint one bit. I'm glad the Victor Stone and Clark Kent scenes were more impactful and had more of a deeper meaning and connection.

There was a lot of scenes that were goosebump moments and I enjoyed them deeply. This movie was one of the best that Snyder created, truly a masterpiece from what we got from 2017. Can't wait to see whats next for Snyder.

My most favorite scene from the movies:

The Flash rescuing Iris The Flash going into the Speedforce Superman arriving to the fight Cyborg connecting to the cubes Wonder Woman Bank Scene Batman doing his thing Aquaman after rescuing the fisherman.

All American: Teenage Love (2021) Season 3, Episode 6

Secrets are Coming out

[8/10 · 25 February 2021]

This episode was definitely a must happen, it was a very interesting concept with the letters and the progression of them over the years, Spencer and Coop finally said goodbye (for now), and it had to happen.

I want to see how Coop actually affected Spencer, he let go of her, will he be better or worse off?

The episode had fun moments with JJ bringing the party items in and secrets are finally being uncovered.

I'm glad Asher broke up with Olivia, they never really fit, from episode 1 iv'e been saying that Olivia and Spencer had a connection that other characters didn't match.

Samone and Jordan have a really good relationship, they dealt with it like mature grownups for a second i didn't even look at them as teens.

Finally, this episode ends with Layla asking Spencer what happened in Las Vegas and i'm glad we're gonna get the answer next episode and i'm excited.

Nonetheless this episode kept me watching the whole time with no boring moments except Vanessa the new girl needs to mind her business a little she keeps butting into everything and its sometimes very cringe.

All American: How Come (2021) Season 3, Episode 5

I loved this Episode so much

[9/10 · 16 February 2021]

This episode was amazing, i'm gonna start with saying i am glad they did not drag the Spencer Coop situation any longer, its time for everything to be on the table, he needs to move on and be the best he can be on the field, the emotion in Spencers eyes were saying everything.

I'm glad Chris and Spencer figured out that they are brothers and Chris managing to move on from getting hit.

Jordan did a very stupid decision, he talks to be an almighty angel yet he did the mistake of taking medicine that will surely affect his performance and his body this Season, hope Liv and Jordan manage to understand that pills and Alcohol aren't the answer and manage to move on and be happy again.

Loving the Football scenes this Episode, I was hyped the whole episode.

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

Great script great actors

[9/10 · 12 February 2021]

I grew up watching The Karate Kid movies and they were amazing, love how the perspectives have changed from the movies to the show.

We get to see both sides of each book while everyone knows that Krease was always bad and always will be.

Great fight sequences, actors that actually look like teenagers. Glad William and Ralph are back in action.

Finished Season 3 and can not wait for Season 4, great character development.

Lupin (2021– )

The story of Lupin

[9/10 · 12 February 2021]

First of all i was hooked from the first episode, i can't believe how smart this man is, he does everything, i was in awe at how charismatic and how slippery he is.

Great representation of The story of Lupin, can't wait for next Season, glad to see other countries are getting recognized more.

To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)

Expect the unexpected

[8/10 · 12 February 2021]

I write this by saying, I thought the movie had a lot of cute moments, you watch this to have a virtual hug on your heart, this won't win any Oscars but you watch this for a good time and to end with a smile.

A lot of people are giving this a 1/10 star for some reason maybe for how it ended but I liked how it ended, didn't follow the trend that college needs to end things.

Nice trilogy, liked these movies, Lara and Noah played the parts beautifully, focus on the positive guys and just have a good time.

All American: My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me (2021) Season 3, Episode 4

Slow but solid Episode

[8/10 · 10 February 2021]

Gonna start with saying the episode was not boring but felt a little disconnected from what the show is, i was interested in the storyline very much.

The build up to the end was amazing, who is Spencers stuckpoint, we get the answer at the end, and OH MAN! i did not expect it, this will build the season nicely, will he put this person behind him and focus on himself and stop trying to be the hero or will he push forward and still overstrain himself?

Many questions to be answered Darnell needs to comeback i do think he adds a lot to the show, his vibe is very positive you like to see Spencer with him "brotherly bonding".

Spencer and Liv are getting intense, from episode 1 i said that's who he needs to be with, better chemistry, better couple and better understanding, they are "soulmates", can't wait to see what comes next to All American.

A Solid 8 out of 10,

Can't wait for some more football to be shot and more action

All American: High Expectations (2021) Season 3, Episode 3

High Expectations - This Episode delivered!

[9/10 · 3 February 2021]

10 Minutes in and i can say this episode has a lot of action pact scenes,

20 Minutes In: I'm loving the Spencer/Olivia Vibes, did they sleep together, did they not, more episodes will obviously show what happened with a flashback, the secrets and lies are everywhere.

30 Minutes In: I miss Jordan and Spencer being together, these guys fought like brothers played like brothers the bond between them is insane, need to see more of them, Coop needs to chill. I think she's going to ruin and turn Mo evil. Damn that Kicker reference in the beginning played a big role, hope they get an amazing kicker, the game was awesome Spencer was amazing.

40 Minutes In: Asher and Vanessa seem good, but honestly they're for me a side character that i don't want to focus on i want to focus on Spencer and Darnell, they had a really good game. Hope Darnells Mom gets well soon as with that news at the end it might tear up Darnell from Football.

All American: How to Survive in South Central (2021) Season 3, Episode 2

Episode 2

[9/10 · 26 January 2021]

Another solid episode, at first i saw the ratings were a little low, didn't understand why, i know some of them might be a cliche, but the drama is on point, the suspense in crenshaw is amazing. I can't wait to see some Football destruction on the field.

Love the interactions between the Coach and everyone, he's so genuine, so passionate about the players. I can't wait until next episode, this season seems to be so interesting, it isn't just highschool, its real life.

All American: Seasons Pass (2021) Season 3, Episode 1

A great start to the season

[9/10 · 19 January 2021]

This season looks to be good! I always wanted Spencer to go back to Crenshaw to actually see how Beverly does without Spenc, love all the cast is back now, and wonder how Spencer is gonna handle everything going on with him, this episode got me excited for the next one.

Supernatural: Carry On (2020) Season 15, Episode 20

Why is everyone salty, a realistic ending Love SPN Family

[10/10 · 20 November 2020]

Why is everyone pissed? First of all, Castiel said his goodbyes with Dean, they had nothing left Jack fixed the world and said he's going to be hands off and said good bye, This episode was more a tribute of the brothers and only the brothers, please look at it from a prespective where these brothers have been hunting things for 16 years, they bonded like glue and should end with them being together. Yes, they should have put in a couple of more goodbyes and somehow brought Castiel, their dad and mom to just make a family reunion and most of the cast in a bar or something, but i do think it was an ending that was realistic with all this covid going on, we get to see an actual goodbye and a reuinion at the same time. Sam got to live his life while Dean always knew he would go out guns blazing. I will not bash the show as it gave me 16 yearas of happiness, it might not have been perfect but it was an ending i am willing to take after all these years of happiness, i cried, i laughed and its time to say goodbye until i rerun it again. Love you all SPN family.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

7 Episodes that lasts a lifetime

[10/10 · 12 November 2020]

Didn't expect anything going into a show centered around playing Chess, i immediatly felt connected to the Characters, every episode was getting better and better, they developed the characters wonderfully, the story arc finished like this show has been going on for Seasons, the chess aspect for some reason felt exciting, i don't know a lot about Chess but the show captures its beauty. The acting from Jolene to the mother to Elizabeth herself was marvelous, great colour works, amazing special effects and even better direction and cinematography, the small story clues you find between the episodes are amazing, you will not regret stumbling into this show.

Julie and the Phantoms (2020)

Old disney vibes

[9/10 · 15 September 2020]

This show brings joy and excitement, it focuses on friendship and innocent crushes yet the music was outstanding. Director Kenny Ortega is amazing, picked a good cast to represent JATP, the song choices were very nice and not too hard on the ear, excited to see what else Season 2 brings us.
