House M.D.: Lockdown (2010)
I'm hooked for the tidbits but...
I watch House as I'm interested in the personal life tidbits that unfold, apart from the interesting storing lines and cases. So having a whole episode of characters focusing on their personal stuff and connecting between each other is so satisfying- top 5 episode in all of House (others are the psych wards episodes at the beginning of this season) as well as when all the initial differential team is fired or quits, then House needs to choose another team (earlier season). If you've invested in watching this show until, let's say season 3, then you're here, this will be a really satisfying watch!
The Little Things (2021)
Reviews are missing the point - you need to be ok with the unknown.
Great casting and great story.
Shows the gruelling struggles of true detective work, burn out and often endless time "watching" without anything happening.
The story may be slow for some, but this is not what it is about in my opinion. It unravels and shows why Denzel's character had a fall from from grace and doesn't let you know what happens after a while. It's intriguing, you're like was he a cheater, was he an alcoholic, was he a bad cop? Then Rami's character is great, strung out, young detective, who doesn't sleep much, not an alcoholic, just way over worked, he fit this character perfectly, you could feel the exhaustion through his character. Being like, you're so way too tired, you're not thinking clearly. Do not go with the maniac! Watch out digging those holes! Then Jared, yuck, he's the perfect villain, he is already so unlikeable it was an easy fit.
A good story doesn't always tell you what happens exactly, you have to figure it out yourself and come to your own conclusions. Did they get the right guy? Who knows, but it shows the constant struggle of being confined to the law, vs taking it into your own hand and blurring that line, or stepping so far over it.
Best movie I have seen in a long time as prefer series to really build the characters and the plots. But this was great!
The Vampire Diaries (2009)
Elena and Stefan should have ended up together
I really enjoyed this series growing up. I don't like the whole team Damon. Stefan and Elena should have been together. I was literally heart broken to slowly learn m Stefan and Elena would never get back together. I was devastated. Really upsetting. Not right.
