The Mandalorian: Chapter 19: The Convert (2023)
Stupid stupid episode
For a show that is so well written this was lazy lazy lazy. I can't stand it when things just happen to go where the story needs it to but this episode is absolute gold for that. So the train barrier just happens to bounce open when someone puts their foot there, with no alarm. So they just happen to be able to jump off a train. So they just happen to land where the ship is. When he's having his treatment, everyone, even the doctors, security, staff - all leave the room to the women. Just stupid.
Also why is the longest episode of the series about some scientist and not about the title character of the show.
Do better Disney.
Imawa no Kuni no Arisu: Episode 7 (2022)
Just plain awful
To start, I want to make it clear that this series has been dreadful. The first was superb - such a good idea. Series 2 is just full of grandstanding. Every character has endless monologues to fill the runtime.
This episode was truly horrible to watch. Soldier guy gets hit by a car, is fine. Shot with an arrow, fine. Punched in the head 20 times, fine. For some reason he takes off his Kevlar vest when he can see other people holding guns.
The leading cast were awful. So many pointless deaths. Letting him reload constantly. After he's put 20 rounds into the archery girl he literally just stands there for a good 10 seconds while the protagonists who have guns just stand there looking shocked. I was sat there saying "shoot him now, shoot him now, shoot him now"
Imawa no Kuni no Arisu: Episode 2 (2022)
So slow.
Loved the first season. Two episodes in and so much of the second season is standing around & just talking. No one seems to be aware that it is life and death games. The games lasts forever - there's no urgency at all. The clock goes as slowly as they need it to.
In fact now I'm into episode 3 and a game has lasted far too long. The last season ended with a potential for 12 new games. The one they've chosen to focus on is literally just standing around and talking. Where has the intensity from the first season gone??
I was genuinely so excited tor this season and they've seriously missed the mark so far.
Stranger Things: Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer (2017)
Nah
Love the show. Really superb. But this episode was not for me. The way Bob died was so cheesy and really bugs me.
It's a sign of bad writing. He tries so hard does everything he's supposed to do, running for his life. The demogog is on the other side of a wooden door and he just stops. Nope don't buy it. Lazy. Do better.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Hard Racing (2022)
Opportunity wasted
I wanted a bit of post season analysis here. Netflix covered the race well enough but come on. Let's hear what all of the drivers and principles think of the decisions. Let's show the backlash against Masi. Let's delve deeply into how decisions favoured Mercedes' through the season and then the rules were broken to favour Red Bull in this last race.
I waited all season to get to this race for it to be so so bland. This is the only show with this level of access to F1 teams and basically nothing was gained from watching this episode.
Ojing-eo geim: VIPS (2021)
Supposed to be an equal contest
The whole premise is that the contest is equal for all contestants. The boss fella said exactly that about the dentist getting help. So then why did he turn the lights off just because one fella could see the glass refracting. Some right bollocks that.
