Treason: Episode #1.1 (2022)
Season 1, Episode 1
2/10
Underwhelming
26 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I think, in general, writers should not neceseraly turn all their good plotline ideas into a tv show. First they need to work in details. Details matters. Otherwise they fail.

Few examples from the firsr episode that would really bother any given espionage lover:

Why Kara brings money and gives it to the driver if she was going to kill him in the first place?

Why Kara doesnt give the imo code at the phone call and she sent Adam to the record shop?

How come she cannot reach a file about Baku, while she can reach very much information in UK and many other places?

Why family and wife-husband drama sauce? The guy just became the top of the world's biggest intellogence agency, and his wife is bored about his comportments in day one. And then she immediately spills these out to her "close" friend she has not seen for a long time.

Glass Onion (2022)
8/10
Nearly perfect
24 December 2022
It would be a perfect movie if the end was written in a different way or the 10 minutes fire scene was omitted in the first place.

Knives Out's characters were better and deeply portrayed. This movie's ones are not bad too, but the writer should better meticiouly work on characters in the third movie -if filmed.

By the way, I think Daniel Craig has found a gold here. Benoit Blanc franchise is a perfect retirement plan for an actor.

Netflix should also consider limited series version of the franchise. It promises a lot.

PS: Loved the cameo's of Venus Williams. Hugh Grant's scene was hillarious too.

Jack Ryan: Druz'ya I Vragi (2022)
Season 3, Episode 5
1/10
Unrealistic
23 December 2022
Despite a promising plot, the script and the dialoguea are weak.

There are also plainty of absurdities which reduce the quality of the production"

For instance: 4 armed soldiers go from the Blacksea to Greece with a inflatable boat!!! Right..

4 armed us slodiers enter Russia with a chopper, make an operation in the middle of Russia and than they can move away with the same chopper to Finland. Cmon!!

Globe trotter shows, such as Mission Impossible, are very appelaing. But if you dont have a good story and writers, even if you trott a dozens of cities in a movie it doesnt necessarlt mean you will have a good movie.

The Gray Man (2022)
1/10
Awfull script and cheap production
7 August 2022
Most likely they tought that the magic about hunt, bourne is trotting the globe in the movies. But, please someone tell to producers that in order to make a "globe trotting" espionage movies, first you need to go to that city to shoot the scenes, second you should have a good espionage story.

I think producers tried to copy best parts of MI and Bourne franchies, but they ruined it.

I recommend readers to re-watch tenth time any other MI or Bourne movie in lieu of loosing time with this mess.

I enjoyed
13 February 2022
My rule number one in watching a production based on trues story, I dont care whether it reflects the true story or not. Because I know that these are not documentaries..

I really enjoy Inv Anna. That's what is important for me.

But, if I were the director, I would give more time in the script to elderly journalists. They gave me similar feeling with Only Murders in the buildong caracters -loved them a lot.

Great movie
6 February 2022
I looked the comments of people who didnt like and critized the movie... Their main critic is that the movie doesnt reflect the history well.

This is not a documentary, guys. This is a movie based on fictional characters. If you know this nuance, you will like the movie. Particularly the ones who like espionage stories and ww2 ambiance.

House of Cards: Chapter 66 (2018)
Season 6, Episode 1
1/10
Cheap
5 January 2022
There could be ways to write a decent story in the absence of Frank. But it looks the producers and writers have chosen the cheapest method to extend a tv serie: make up new caracters.

But the problem is the new caracters contradict with what the show told us first 5 seasons.

Outstanding series with a terrible finale
3 January 2022
Unprecedented awfulness (as per reviews) of the last season might be an answer of the writers to the main question raised and discussed during 5 seasons :

  • Claire is nothing without Frank.

Don't Look Up (2021)
8/10
Perfect satire
25 December 2021
The script is a great analogy (trump, maga, pandemic, division etc) to critizise current state of US and the world in post-truth era.

I'd have rated 10/10 if they placed in the story some hypocrite lefty caracters from media and politics.

Edit: my wife (who has no idea about politics in US) told me "how this movie could be defined as comedy. These caracters are portrayed as sick people". This is what makes this movie trajic rhater than funny.

A classic Larry episode
18 December 2021
Real fans did notice that last two seasons are not same with the previous ones. This episode is precious because Larry David is back after two seasons.

10/10
10/10 for the episode, 5/10 for the arc.
13 December 2021
Another oscar-worthy episode.

Almost every episode of this show is great within its self.

The usual problem is that there are inconsistencies between episodes which bother me.

Brilliant work
6 December 2021
If I put aside all usual inconsistencies and continuity goofs between episodes, and, I consider this episode as stand alone piece; I would name it one of the greatest episodes ever in showbiz.

A Larry David classic
1 December 2021
This episode is a perfect example for Larry's art.

His talent is to write many sub-stories and connect them somehow each other extraordinarily. Pure magic.

Writers are back !
29 November 2021
Loved the episode. Classic Succession. Great dialogues. Top-notch acting.. .

But I hope, after today's big fight, the sibs dont go to Italy and dont embrace each other like nothing has happened.

Dear writers, hope you stay consistent with the arc.

Why so long ?
21 November 2021
Same story could be filmed much shorter.. Unnrcessarly long. In 3 hours very few things happen actually. Despite very long duration, there are still many disconnections among timelines.

Succession: Retired Janitors of Idaho (2021)
Season 3, Episode 5
2/10
Worst episode ever
15 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I think the series has totally lost its realism (the sudden worsening of Logan's health before the meeting and very quick healing just after the meeting).

Also, there is lack of consistency with previous episodes (stewy and his group of previous seasons would never do such moves of this episodes).

Almost no accuracy (the C level people are looking dumber and dumber every single episode.)

Big disappointment.

Sad to see this
10 November 2021
I did had hope that next episodes would improve. But after the 3rd one, I have decided to cease to watch the show. I want to remember the show and Larry as the GOATs.

Hope this can get better
2 November 2021
Big big fan of Larry. But this season, Larry looks cartoonized. I felt the same in the first episode of previous season.. I'm sure next episodes will be better. Larry is funny when he is his self. He shouldnt exagerate his caracter in writing.

Espionage

This is the best espionage story ever written for screen. Particularly last 2 seasons. This should definetely continue to air on tv -would be fine with a movie version...

Billions: Copenhagen (2021)
Season 5, Episode 8
2/10
Nothing original
13 September 2021
First seasons of Billions were about the war of strategies.. Parties were meticiliously planning how they would move.. This was the thing that made Billions different. But, today Billions became a customary drama. Nothing surprising, nothing original.

A movie about nothing
7 June 2020
I patiently waited and hoped to see something would happen.. But, nothing happened.

Unnecessarly long scenes.. Even, many unnecesarry scenes..

I miss old tarantino movies where there were many independent stories and somehow colliding each other.

His previous movies was bad, but this one is much worse.

Why nine ?
5 June 2020
I do respect the score of the movie since more than 2m people rated..

But, I think this movies has nothing special in terms of story, in terms of screenplay, in terms of cinematography; and doesnt deserve such a high place in the list.

Absurd and fun
30 May 2020
I liked it. This is maybe the most absurd show I've watched. Absurd stories, absurd jokes, absurd caracters.. But I enjoyed.
