Sherlock: The Six Thatchers (2017)
Season 3 problems continues!!!!
I was a big fan of Sherlock when i watched series 1 and 2 but post season 3 the show's quality has gone down significantly.This episode continues the trend in a big way and there were a lot of problems with this episode
1)Lack of Focus-The episode never really comes together as it wanders round and round through plot lines with significant lack of focus you're never fully invested i was waiting for that moment when everything clicks but it never came
2)Style over substance-Post season 3 the makers of Sherlock seem to be to much into showing off how cool they are instead of focusing on the story and telling a solid story.Dialogues like the game is on and the final stage which felt cool in series 1 and 2 feel contrived here
3)Lack of any payoff - Sherlock seems to have forgotten that its a crime mystery show the Christmas episode had the worst resolution and this episode also wants us to be surprised or be amazed by the end but i just couldn't care less
4Major Death??-First of all i saw Mary's death a mile away but it all feels like a gimmick i was never really invested in her character and the fact that John for some reason started a affair with a random girl just before her death dint particularly made any sense to me.
The OA (2016)
The OA is a fascinating and riveting show!!!!
Before going into the show i found the trailer very interesting and the fact that Netflix released it 3 days before the show premiered peaked my interest.The show has been getting mixed response and i can see why its a weird show that asks the audience to take a leap of faith and requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief as they tell there story through the eight episodes.
Either you're going to buy into the show or not and i was overall very engaged throughout the show.I thought the performances were uniformly great(in specifically Brit Marling,she is very much the soul of the show) the writing,direction of the show is excellent and they manage to interweave the supernatural and the pseudo science of the show well enough that it works.
I wont tell you the plot details of the show because the more you go into this show without reading or having pre-conceived ideas the more its going to be a rich experience for you
The Finale is interesting it raises more questions than answering it ,its a bit ambiguous but overall i am fine with it.
Westworld: The Bicameral Mind (2016)
The Most satisfying finale in a long time
Westworld is a fantastic show but at the same time its been really cryptic throughout the season with some big reveals in episode 7 and 9 but i feel like that this episode has the biggest reveals that really blow you away!!!!!!.
The acting,cinematography,background score,direction of this episode was amazing and really helps build the reveal.
The best thing about this episode is that its 90 minutes long and gives satisfying conclusions and proper time to all the story lines that we have been following throughout the season.
Can't wait for the next season!!!!!
