HuMan's MILLENNIAL REVIEW BLOG

  I have seen 4 seasons of Trying now and it unbelievable that I have done that. Is it a good or bad thing that it is so forgettable? Trying is a decent show, might I say. I started it because I read multiple places that it was heart warming, and on par with Ted Lasso's cuteness. Yes, in terms of only that, otherwise, considering setting, story, and characters, Ted Lasso is so much better. This might be a short review, because I literally don't remember a lot from this so I shall hit you with the highlights. The main protagonist, Esther and Rafe are great actors, and they really draw you in whenever the show wants to hit you with the emotional 'life is hard' trope. However, the writing of the show doesn't complement these actors enough. The writing is fast, and edits out any weight in the show in exchange for cringe jokes and stretched out B plots I really don't care about. I really dislike the arc they took of Scott the Atlantic. I already hated the character, ...

  I do not know if anyone is gonna read this, but for context, this and the next 5 reviews were all written on the same day. So apologies if the quality of any of the reviews feels low (me pretending like all the reviews are earth shattering masterpiece essays). I still haven't zeroed in on what I do exactly. I don't review this stuff, because I need to review for someone, writing all this for myself doesn't indicated a review, more like a thought journal. Yea, they're jus thoughts. So what did I think of Lessons in Chemistry? My fingers have an urge to type out "Eh", but the truth is, it's more like "Ew". Let's start with the book, because that's what I picked up first. I saw Lessons in Chemistry being reviewed by my local library. In that review written by Mary I., she says "This story is rich and complex, the characters witty (the good ones) and sometimes unbearable (the bad ones,) and it is guaranteed you will not stop turning th...

  At this point, it is either common knowledge or one of Henry Cavill's most attractive traits that he is a gamer. At least to me, it is. The guy was severely misused as Superman and according to recent news, he is humble and innocent enough that he sold the rights to his face to Netlfix (I honestly expected from Netflix). But anyway, putting aside the suspicious decisions being taken by Netlfix as of late I wanted to talk about seasons 1 and 2 of The Witcher. Season 3 will be coming soon, and so will The Boys but I ended up watching the first season during my exams to destress and the 2nd one on my train return trip from Mumbai.  I thought it was amazing! The extreme levels of sci-fi explored in the show were something if asked to me directly I'd make a face that emanates an emotion resembling the phrase "ew", but no. I think I felt that way because the show only focuses on its strong fictional ties to the books only to describe basic details but rarely do they dwell...

 Moon Knight has to be the first MCU show I actively procrastinated on. I was busy with college and exams and honestly, it seemed like a luxury time thing. And it was, I saw it soon after my exams, my Mumbai trip, once everything wrapped up I ordered a burger and a Belgian waffle and sat down for a 6 episode long binge with 0 interruptions.  All MCU shows seem to run this formulaic course of action, where the 4th episode is generally the mind-blowing containing element. It isn't different here however the 4th episode contains the key to what is actually going on. So the first 3 episodes I was very confused. It doesn't introduce any of the characters and doesn't establish any backgrounds. The first episode launches our protagonist into the clutches of the villain and we just keep drawing our conclusions as the episodes keep running. As much as it can be put off as clever writing it can be pretty off-putting especially since I need to know what I am watching. Epic fights and ...

  Originally Published: 4th January 2021 Movie: Tenet I actually liked Tenet. Kat looked really hot and captivating, and yes, it did counteract the extreme unnecessary and forced evilness of Andrei Sator. Priya also had an engaging on-screen presence. The Protagonist seems so lost yet trained for the entirety of Tenet. And Neil has to be the best part about Tenet. As for the movie, it is depicted and treated in a very filler or prologue kind of way. You know how in Nolan's Batman each movie felt independent and enjoyable on its own, Tenet feels like the upcoming follow-up will truly and properly explain and do justice to Tenet. However, it waits to reason whether or not the public is willing to wait. I really did still love the sci-fi concept of it. It felt new and unexplored. Something I would watch more if better refined. Maybe next time focus less on the logic and just get to the epic action set pieces pls Nolan. Originally Published: 5th January 2021 Movie:  WW84 Are u fuc...
