Cuckoo (2012)
Season 1 awesome, rest meh
We discovered this by accident, and absolutely loved session one. Laughed our assess off!
Andy Samberg is absolutely great in playing the goofy annoying but loveable step-son, driving the always genius Greg Davies up the wall.
We started season 2, but not loving the acting of the new guy. Maybe it's a European thing, but the acting of the English actors seems way better than the new American guy. Apparently he has done big roles before, but contest doesn't seem to be his knack. (Andy's screwball comedy was awesome contrast with the English humour though!)
The new actress playing Rachel is a bit boring and in no way as good and funny like the actress from the first season.
Don't think we'll make it far in season 2...
Dark (2017)
What a script
I binge watched this series. Very moving.
The script is exceptional. While watching, the story got so complex I didn't expect the writers to pull it off and tie it all together.
However, it never fell apart. Captivating until the end, and it never violated my suspension of disbelief.
Very impressed.
Killing Eve (2018)
Perfection
Gripping, funny, moving.
This series has it all.
At the moment of writing, the best series I've ever watched probably.
La casa de papel (2017)
Lazy writing
Nice premise, beautifully filmed.
Season one is nice, after that it gets completely brainless. Telenovela style plot.
Except telenovelas don't take themselves serious which makes it fun.
This is just completely unrealistic. The supposed strong female inspector is a character written by a sexist.
90% of the scenes are some character whining about something, they all get their fancy emotional monologue. Boring. Again and again.
The bankrobbers are the most incompetent, irrational, emotion driven bunch I've ever seen.
The professor is supposedly super smart, but actually reminds me of one of those people who are convinced themselves they are smart, but everybody else knows they're not.
At some point I wanted to punch basically every character in the face when they were stupid or emotional again. Completely unlikeable characters.
Good for some brainless binging, but keep your finger near the ffwd button or play some games or smth.
I feel really bad for the script writers. I don't know what happened there, but if I was responsible for this I'd quit my job and start brewing cider...
