José Andres & Family in Spain (2022)
Exaggerated and not the best places
Honestly rather a disappointing series. I admit I didn't watch all of them but so far I would not really recommend this. Focusing on the episode of Madrid where I have been living (and wining/dining) for 20+ years, this feels like a random and partially incorrect or very touristy view of the culinary experiences you can have in Spain. Basically they lost me with the Sangria and some very mediocre seafood tapas places and the over exaggerated and scripted reactions of Jose and his two daughters. There are tons of YouTubers that prove a much better and accurate insight into the Madrid tapas highlights.
Red Sparrow (2018)
A boring and embarrassing movie full of clichés
From mostly British actors playing Russians speaking english with Russian accents to a boring, cliché ridden, overlong story, this movie is one big disappointment. The whole Russian ensemble, including locations and decor feels like it has sprung out of some American fantasy (It probably has) about how Russia is, thinks and operates. I went to see this with a group of friends including some Russian friends in Madrid and I wish we could at least have had a laugh at all the ridiculousness of this, but instead we were almost falling asleep as this movie is boring, confusing and way too long. Really bad for Jennifer Lawrence, who I really like to see on screen, but here I can only say : Do not go and waste your money on this.
