Altered Carbon (2018–2020)

Visually stunning and little bit borring

[7/10 · 4 February 2018]

All in all I can't say, that I disslike this series, but also can't tell that I liked it either. There are some great and stunning visualls, georgeous looking main character. And that is about it. The story doesn't look promissing or interested, and I find that there is some inconsistency in the story of the main protagonist. What are the crimes, that he have commited, why there are killers after him, and why so many? What is so special about him? I'm sure, that in the further episodes there will be explanations, but I think the story is not so gripping and a little bit hard to follow up, so propably I will quit watching before I receive answers.

Outcast (2016–2017)

Not impressed

[7/10 · 25 June 2016]

It is already 4th episode released, and still nothing happened. Small glimpses of something, what probably should be demonic and scary, but just isn't. Main hero is more annoying than interesting, lacking emotions and depth. I've seen probably all the movies about demons, possessions, exorcisms, all kind of devils, and Otcast offers nothing new or at least interesting. And what kind of new methods of exorcism? "Hey, we will beat the s**t out of possessed person, until the demon will go away". I was so excited for this series, but now I'm just loosing all hopes for improvement. I rated 7 out of 10. I want to be wrong about this show, but everything is happening too slow and there still isn't main plot line, just peaces - little bit of past, little bit of something in the woods, little bit of crazy people.

Supernatural: Brother's Keeper (2015) Season 10, Episode 23

Good episode, but weak finale

[8/10 · 23 May 2015]

The best episode in season 10. We get some action, hard decisions and a promising cliffhanger for season 11. But regarding last episode of season 10, well...there are a few plot holes. 1. Why Dean wants to kill Sam? How that would help get rid of the mark? - the mark Cain received because he killed his brother Abel. I can understand that Dean wants to kill Sam, because mark told him to do so, but not because Sams death would make the mark disappear. 2. Killing Death? Why? Please, do not tell, that Dean did that accidentally - that would be insult to the Death. And why Dean, who is always well-aimed suddenly does this clumsy mistake?

And one more thing that I've missed very much in last few seasons - please please, bring back the rock music - ac/dc, black sabbath and etc.

Supernatural (2005–2020)

Exciting show loosing its grip

[9/10 · 10 December 2014]

I watched this show from the beginning. It is not particularly great show if you verify special effects, but it is very involving show - there is interesting and witty script (at least for 8 seasons), the chemistry and some kind honesty between two main characters. I liked very much first 8 seasons, but pity - 9th season wasn't that interesting, and in 10th season Supernatural became family drama with a small glimpse of adventures. Castiels daughter issues, Crowleys mother? No no no... give me back ghosts, werewolves, vampires, give me back king of hell and not the "lost boy, who didn't get love from his mommy", give me back two brothers against evil - "You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business."

Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)

Just...stupid

[1/10 · 25 January 2011]

I'm a big fan of such type of movies - mystery, darkness, people are vanishing and etc. But this movie - it's just stupid. It's starting very promising, but after about half an hour - I've started to ask myself - "why they are acting like that?", "why they are carrying guns with themselves if no one's around?", "why the generator in the cafeteria is working, but all other generators (e.g. in the cars) - don't?", "why they are talking that much about nothing?", "why, if they agree that people are vanished, they still keep searching for 9 months old baby and for a woman, who have left almost a day ago?", "what is the point of statement when the dark falls - I exist, I exist", "Why are you so stupid and when your generator is almost out of fuel you are turning on music machine?", "if you need light - why don't you burn something?". And that is just the few questions I had, while watching this film. I had no sympathy for the main characters, because I didn't understand - why????. Well, in general - this movie is stupid, just stupid.
