House - The Harsh Doctor Everybody loves



house


House is one of those shows everyone watched at least one episode of while zapping through their TV. I’m one of those people who didn’t immediately get into it, having only watched a couple of episodes from the first season and never the whole show.

Too Good, Too Much


When I found it on Netflix, I decided to give it a try. The show is obviously good, but at some point, I was tired of it and stopped watching for a while (8 seasons in a row is just too much). When I started it back up, I was able to follow through and finish it; however, I didn’t have the same level of interest as before…

That happened to me with other good "doctor shows," like The Good Doctor or New AmsterdamThey just end up tiring you out. 

Not Totally Right, Not Totally Wrong


The puzzles are the best part of the show, of that I have no doubt. But it does lack something. In the beginning, I felt like we should get to know the team better, as actual people, their personal life, their tastes, their problems, their motivations, and doubts, but then… I didn’t like it when that actually started to happen.

I can’t explain why, if it was their stories, the way these were introduced to the audience, the situations that seemed a bit forced into the middle of random scenes… It turned out to be more boring than I had expected, and the only reason I watched it was for the interesting medical cases.

The constant team changes, the constant “you are fired” and “you are not fired anymore” without any logic or reason, were just unnecessary and contrived. 

Good Show, Far From Perfect


Generally speaking, it was an undeniable good show, with a huge fandom, which is probably why the flaws seem to stand out. Besides, like many others, the more seasons it has, the worse it loses some of its qualities over time.

The finale was another major problem from my point of view. The end might look very philosophical, but I found it illogical, a bit out of context and it ended up throwing me off what could’ve been better closure to the show.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

  Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed.  This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

  In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
