Sense 8




I first started watching this show about a year before the big finale. But let’s start at the beginning, shall we?

The beginning of the show is slow, the first couple of episodes seem comprised of but a few random scenes, strewn together, that you can’t fully understand, but that’s what makes you curious enough to keep on watching, trying to understand what was going on.

You will probably start to feel empathy with that small group of people and the beautiful and amazing way they are all connected almost wishing you could do that yourself. In the blink of an eye, you’ll be in love with all of them and their different personalities.

The way they help each other is just so beautiful, each one using the particular talents life gave them in order to survive. Each one of them having their specific and very different problems and yet, they are most always available to help each other out. If only the real world could be like that…

About this huge final episode, there was a lot of curiosity around it throughout the Internet, everyone was waiting for it with such anxiety and bated breath, creating some sort of aura of perfection, yet, probably because of that, I felt a little disappointed.

We watched a happy ending, a little too happy given all the things they endured throughout the show, and that made it seem a little fake somehow. Some characters had a very surprising end to their stories, but for the majority, they were pretty obvious. (I want a piece of that cake, please…)

Despite its weaknesses, I loved the show, and I think it’s definitely worth giving it a look yourself if you haven’t already.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia.

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

  As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor.  The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability.  Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
