The Acolyte (2024)
So far the most disappointing SW series ever
After three episodes I really don't know where to start. Good things: it's in Star Wars Universe (at least it should be) Carrie-Anne Moss was also very classy in the beginning and I was glad to see her performing so well. But that's it then about the good things. It went so quickly for the 5 star dinner into the fast food department. The story is just childish and makes not much sense. Actors mediocre at their best. Nothing new nor interesting aspects in the show. I don't know what's the target audience, at least it's not made for the Star Wars fans at all. Light years behind Andor, Mandalorian and others.
Shôgun (2024)
Absolutely amazing
If you watch just one tv show during the year 2024, let it be Shogun. The fine details of everything in this show will please you a lot. Dresses are amazingly beautiful and accurate. Also the cultural habits and doings are pure gold.
It's a story of honor, serving something bigger than yourself and making sacrifices which will cost everything you have.
I just finished the 10th episode and it's a bit difficult at the moment to think anything but I'm gonna to rewatch this after a week or so.
Very interesting to see this story again, I remember the original Shigun but this is much better carefully made with lots of love. Hiroyuki Sanada is amazing in his role as Toranaga. Also Anna Sawai is perfect for the role of Lady Mariko. I also loved Moeka Hoshi as Usami Fuji. She was a very strong, yet sensitive character of her dramatic life. Excellent performance.
Masters of the Air (2024)
It's not BoB but it's good
This show has been living in my mind rent free since I first heared that they're going to do this, it was about 2015.
First of all, it's not Band of Brothers, it's not the Pacific either. A totally different element, air.
At the beginning it's wasn't easy to remember all the characters and then the tense air fights started. They look amazing with the German fighters and B-17s. Very realistic immersion created I enjoyed a lot to watch the bombing missions and the whole crew of the B-17.
Then I realized how difficult this kind of air war is to show people, heavy losses on both sides. Much easier to tell a story of the ground forces.
Unfortunately there were no time to show any German pilots and war from their perspective until the last episode's few minutes.
One can easily see and notice the high quality and enthusiasm the producing team had when they made this. It's a masterpiece of its own. No need to compare it to the earlier WW2 series made by same three people.
I really want to do the second round soon with this series to avoid the annoying episode per week feeling.
So, get your schedule free, get a good amount of snacks and watch this masterpiece.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
Boring
Can't believe all the possibilities wasted on this one, poor script, poor acting. Maya Erskine Is a totally wrong pick on a series like this, she looks like +50y even though she's 36. In their profession they should be able to seduce other people too and by her looks it would be almost impossible.
It's a bit a mixture of interesting elements and possibilities you hope would somehow happen in the series but quite rarely anything happens.
But overall huge potential but not much delivered. Basically can't understand why they even did this. Luckily it has only 8 episodes and fingers crossed there will not be any season 2 ever.
The Last Dance (2020)
Thank you.
Thank you. This was a nice surprise to see such a professionally made document about the greatest team so far. People who made this love the sports and love the Bulls. No doubt.
Just relived my youth. Thank you. Greatest team of all times and greatest player of all times.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
I really waited this show
But a huge disappointment, this show has nothing to do with the Star Trek. Script, acting, politics, federation etc. all ruined this show. What a wasted opportunity to do a high quality scifi show.
