Fallout (2024)
Captured the game; the humor dumbs it down
This show is interesting, outstanding acting, the visuals are awesome, reminds me a little of Silo, and the pacing is nice.
For me, the only thing I don't like that I think devalues everything is the humor. The humor is "stupid" and absurd; it makes everything less dramatic, less serious, less intense. I was hoping for this show to be more scary, dark, and intense like The Last of Us. The stupidity the humor brings just really puts me off, it feels like it ruins the execution of the scenes and plot. It's like they are making fun of themselves! It's a little exhausting to watch. Other than that, I think it's another excellent video game adaptation!
Side note: Yes, I have played the games. Favorites of mine. And no, I don't think the humor in the show is the same humor in the games. The games felt more serious to me but that's just my experience.
All in all, you don't want to miss this one!
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Haters going to hate
Watch the show for yourself. It's not bad AT ALL.
I think some of the reviews here are a little overboard and just strange.
It's a mixture of Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit, and Harry Potter. I think it's really entertaining and suspenseful. From the action and fighting, to the more meaningful heartfelt dialog, it's extremely well done. The show feels like a expansive adventure and takes me back to when I was little watching Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings for the first time. The Wheel of Time has become one of my all-time favorite tv shows. I recommend to anyone who loves the Fantasy genre as well as action adventure.
Here's to hoping for many more seasons! I can't wait to see what's to come.
Lioness (2023)
Noticeable quality, meaningful, suspenseful. Try it out
In short: if you like intense and suspenseful shows that take you to beautiful locations throughout, noticeably fantastic writing and acting all around, spy shows, and shows centered around women in military, you'll like this a lot. Try it out!
Longer review: A new favorite of mine! Feels like I stumbled upon a gem. I love the meaningful writing and the layered characters and the impressive, genuine, intense story! The settings and locations and action all take you on an adventure. On top of that, the music stands out in a big way which only screams quality. This show is a lot of fun to watch, and also I've never seen a woman-centered spy thriller show before. Very cool, it means something to me.
Why I watched: (1)Zoë Saldaña, (2)Morgan Freeman, (3)Military spy thriller.
My only complaints: (1)Can't binge immediately, (2)Wish the episodes were 1 hour each, (3)Wish there were more episodes than 8, (4)Want more time with Cruz and the mission.
I'm hoping for: (1)Season 2 with same and new characters, (2)More military tactical situations, (3)More action and "gasp" moments haha, (4)They don't kill off my favorites haha.
This is a show I will be recommending to people! 10/10.
Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
Try this out!
You should definitely try this out!
Not only is it so visually stunning (and unlike anything in animation), the writing is so shockingly good! The story they decided to tell will grip you by the heart and squeeze.
You'll see what I mean if you try it.
Can't wait for Season 2.
Messiah (2020)
Worth watching
This show is at the very least worth a try. I found it to be so good I am actually sad there isn't more. I want more!!!
