El cuerpo en llamas (2023)
Boring, illogical, stupid characters
I can't say whether it's specific fans who praise and rate this series highly or whatever else might be the reason for it. It's just plain bad. The characters are all unsympathetic, the lead actress unbearable, sometimes overly theatrical, and mostly surprisingly stupid. The whole plot is dragged out so much that I've actually increased the playback speed for the first time.
If the true story behind it did indeed unfold like that, it's definitely not worth a film adaptation. The first episode at least is promising enough that at that point you still have hope it will get better, but that's definitely not the case.
Messiah (2020)
So slow
This series certainly piqued my interest-somewhat provocative yet drawn out. However, contrary to many other reviews, I fail to comprehend the positive opinions. Don't get me wrong, the series isn't terrible, but it's certainly not a 10 or an 8; it's too drawn-out, too predictable, with characters that are sometimes painfully one-dimensional. Background stories are briefly touched upon but left unfinished, and some characters' decisions and behaviors are inexplicably foolish. Throughout, one waits for the resolution, only to find it disappointingly lacking. Whether it's relevant or not, I am in no way religious.
