The Ark (2023)
A lot of potential. Deserves more seasons so it can grow
I still don't get why people trash on this show so badly. Like, is it a multimillion netflix series with super famous actors? NO! But why is that a problem exactly?? Not everything has to be expensive or perfect, i feel like we've been too spoiled if we get so easily angry and trash on a decent show because its not a high budgeted masterpiece.
Also there are WAY bigger (and richer) streaming services that throw an insane amount of money to get big actors and huge uneccesary marketing campaigns for shows that ACTUALLY end up sucking.. The Ark is at least entertaining.. I'm not a huge fan yet but i do see potential and want a 2nd season so the show can be given a chance to GROW like many fan-favorite shows did in the past.
Does this show have a few dumb moments here and there and leans into the space opera genre? YES and if its not your thing then its not your thing it doesn't mean it deserves a 1/10!!
I'd give it an 8/10 because while its not a masterpiece, it's something that can be fun to watch and pass the time. (and nope I'm not contracting stars because there are not famous people in the show like some silly people did for some reason)
Velma (2023)
Never thought I'd rate 1 star but here we are
This is my first time rating 1 star and i think that says a lot...
Why this show has the scooby-doo characters in it is beyond me. Velma, Daphne, Fred act NOTHING like the characters that we know and love from previous instalments, all i see is two-dimensional caricatures having only one personal characteristic. The jokes don't land, the animation is the same *cough*ugly*cough* animation every adult animation show has these days.
The creators need to realise that you can make an adult show without having all the characters be vulgar, cynical and cruel. I wanted to watch this show because i was interested in velma but this snarky, mean, annoying girl that never shuts up is not velma. The creators didn't respect the source material and it shows..
Also i was looking forward seeing Velma and Daphne get together and even that felt blant and their romance was rushed and not organic at all.
Shame really...
Dragon Age: Absolution (2022)
As a dragon age fan i approve!!!
While i think there should be a bit more character development and the story to be a little bit more slow-paced, the episode limit the writers had made it impossible to achieve, you can only fit in that much story in a 1hour and 40 minutes series. But the characters are likeable and have their own personality, the animation is really good, i love how there are dark themes but also light, giving the show a good balance and lastly the fight scenes are intense and brutal. So all in all for a mini series the story is pretty good! I also really loved the cameos from characters from the games. This series is a good addition to the dragon age universe and i would like to see more! And preferably a longer story the next time.
