Russian Doll




When I first watched the trailer for this show, all I could think of was this seemed like that one Supernatural episode where the Winchester brothers were always coming back to the same day and dying repeatedly, which I personally thought to be annoying as hell. So, I cast it aside, dismissed it and decided I probably wouldn’t enjoy watching it.

However, at a later date, out of the blue, I decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the show actually is.

Instead of being annoying or repetitive, the story tends to evolve and raise your curiosity with every time that she comes back to life and decides to change her route.

As usual in these kinds of shows, the end didn’t provide us with many answers, letting some doubt linger in the air, enabling a possible second season. Even so, this show is definitely worth your time.

The characters are unusually deep for the genre in question, the dialogue is fluid and natural and despite the weirdness of the story, the producers took very logical decisions in how things should go, within that hypothetical reality.

Nadia’s character is very interesting, with a very specific type of humor and the dark background just makes her all the more “human”, amongst all the craziness in this story.

In short, eagerly awaiting a second season. I’d suggest you join in!

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. ...

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 ...
