House - The Harsh Doctor Everybody loves

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 and Hugh Laurie amazing, 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 Amsterdam. They 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.

Gen V Season 2: From Cameos to Confidence

I wasn’t a huge fan of Gen V ’s first season . For me, it lived more on cameos and ties to The Boys than on its own merits. It often felt like an extended piece of world-building rather than a show that could stand on its own. Season 2, though, feels different. For the first time, Gen V is carving out its own identity. The storylines are more engaging, the stakes feel higher, and it’s not just hanging on the shadow of Homelander or Vought headlines. The Highs and Lows of Performance That said, not everything works. The acting is uneven—some scenes land with the intended emotional weight, but others feel awkward enough that I wondered how they made it past editing. On top of that, the show piles on so much interpersonal drama and mystery that it occasionally slips into Scooby-Doo territory: a gang of young heroes pulling at conspiratorial threads, but without enough grounding to keep every subplot compelling. A Thoughtful Tribute One aspect the show handles beautifull...

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...
