The Buccaneers (2023)
Worst Period Drama I have ever seen!
If I could give this show less than one stars, I would. The characters are all one dimensional, vapid and lifeless. I wouldn't recommend this terrible TV show to my worst enemy. Conchita is the most childish character to ever grace TV; instead of talking to her husband about her struggles to integrate with English high society, she runs out into a storm in order to manipulate her husband into leaving his family and home and moving across the Atlantic where her immature behaviour is not only tolerated but praised for its modernity.
Nan, the boring lead who can barely keep your attention for more than 3 seconds and whose weak emotional range is limited to shrieking at the drop of a hat and looking like a constipated toddler when she is angry when she spoils one of the most important days for her sister, makes it all about her and is furious when her sister doesn't automatically forgive her.
The other two sisters whose names most of the audience won't remember and are only there to prop up the main characters are about as lively and entertaining as a funeral parade. This show fails as a period drama. It tries too hard to be like Bridgerton but doesn't even begin to compete. If you want to watch a fantastic period drama with amazing costumes, plots and characters, watch HBO's Gilded Age but if you manage to get through even one episode of this awful show, you deserve a medal.
Obsession (2023)
DON'T WATCH THIS!
I wish someone had warned me that this cringeworthy TV show was going to be the longest, boringest four hours of my life. The characters were one dimensional, stifling and uninteresting. William by far was the worst character imaginable. The lengths he went to be close to Anna is creepy and perverted. Anna was equally uninteresting; I couldn't care less about her past by episode 2 and when I found out in episode 4, it was the most anticlimactic reveal ever to grace television. They kept hunting at it and once you found out, you were left even more bewildered as to why they thought you would find that captivating. I wouldn't recommend this show to my worst enemy.
