Zoo - From Hero to Zero

Are the animals going mad? Is nature trying to get rid of us? While not a big fan of conspiracy theories, how could I not fall in love with this plot?

Season 1 - Impossible to stop watching

The show’s premise is somewhat interesting, and the first season fascinated me. I binge-watched all of its episodes in a row.

Although, as I said before, the big conspiracy theory is a bit too much for me, Zoo was a good show and I had a good time watching it.

Season 2 - Going Off Tracks

The second season, though, was very different… it actually bored me at some point. It had a lot of twists and turns, which is usually good, but in this case, it was, again, a little too far out there. Balance is everything, and writers need to know when to stop. Take the case of Lost, as seasons went by, it felt out of control.

The way that Dr. Oz solved the problem annoyed me; it was as rational as it was cold, and I definitely didn’t like it.

And Now What?

The end of this 2nd season somewhat speaks to the existence of a third one.

I got curious about the last scene, but I’m not sure that they can do something interesting enough to recover from the disaster that, in my opinion, was this latest season.

The bright side is our beloved Billy Burke (Revolution) and his amazing acting skills. 😉

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
