Umbrella Academy (season 2) - funny adventures

Last season 's finale left us at the edge of our seats, and this second one didn't disappoint. A new apocalypse to avoid, new persecutions to escape, and a lot of new craziness. Five was able to rescue his family from the apocalypse and time travel with them. The problem? The siblings landed in the same alley, in Dallas, but in different years of the early 60s.  This separation could be a disaster, but at least for the show, it was a great choice. In the first season, they didn't have the time to explore who they were outside their family, their powers, and responsibilities. Now, they found a way, an alternative, and they generally seem happy. That makes it even more difficult to abandon this new life to save the world and go back to their time. The true Hargreaves The big scary daddy, Hargreaves, has more secrets than his children could have dreamed. He is involved in all sorts of things: conspiracy, time-traveling experiences, space exploration, Ape's experiences, and...

Can you hear me? - Review

Can you hear me? is a Canadian show, located in Montreal, that will probably surprise you. Three friends with terrible life circumstances have a single precious thing: each other. They don’t seem to have an acceptable lifestyle. They are weird, make unbelievable choices, and sometimes, they can shock you. Yet, you can’t help but feel a little empathy. Friendship The main character in this show is friendship. In the first episode, after an anger management session, we follow Ada back to her friends. For a while, all we see is a random conversation between a group of close friends. You’ll feel the outsider of the group.  The three girls (Ada, Fabiola, and Carolanne) have a fantastic connection. Yet, they have very different ways to deal with the world. Ada is impulsive and responds with anger and, sometimes, violence. Carolanne simply shuts down. She is the quietest member of the group, and it is difficult for her to open up. Fabiola is a hard worker that tries to help everyone, but...

Review: Dead to Me (Season 2) - What else can happen?

  Dead to Me had finally returned to a second season. Yet, it probably should have ended in the first one. I'm sorry fans of the show, but this second season was a bit… too much? [SPOILERS] Let's see. The dysfunctional duo can't stop committing crimes and avoiding responsibilities. Now, the two friends are even more involved in terrible secrets. They have no idea how to get out of the madness spiral they're in to.   Other than that, we have Jen's neighbor. Could that woman be more annoying and nosy? And how about Steve's twin brother? Twin? For real? Too emotional It seems that they tried to humanize the characters a bit more, but they went too far. Jen confesses a murder, and the cop let her go. That's nonsense! Why did the cop do it? Because the fragile cop has, after all, mommy issues! Did she miss the part that Jen killed a man? In a time where feminism is such a big deal, this wasn't a good choice. It makes women look like little super emotional an...
