The Good Place - Review

  The Good Place is a comedy show about the afterlife. The story begins when our main character, Eleanor ( Kristen Bell ), arrives in a place designed for good people. Simple and effective, a good recipe for laughs, whatever your beliefs are. The story is full of funny metaphors, and I, particularly, had a good time watching the first season. Yet, you may feel it become a bit repetitive from the second half of the second one. However, it’s a comedy, and it will make you laugh, so you’ll probably keep watching it anyway.  Stereotyped characters that work The characters are shallow and stereotyped. Yet, it seems that it was intentionally made for comedy purposes, and it works. You have the bad girl, the intelligent guy with zero social skills, the idiot, and the revolted rich girl that nobody loves. The show might send us a message, other than just make us laugh. Michael’s experiments can be seen as a warning. It shows us that most religious concepts are outdated and need to evolve. Amo

How “The Bold Type” is more than another "girly drama" show

  Three best friends fight for their dreams in the big city of New York. There is no impossible ambition nor unbearable problem while they have each other’s support. It is a light, irreverent show that will often bring a smile to your face.  Same issues, different women The issues they face aren’t new - sex, romantic relationships, friendships, career moves. You watch these modern, independent, strong millennial women fighting for every inch of their conquests. Watching the first episode, I thought it would be one more “girly show”. You know - sex life, dramas, and friends. It’s a bit more, and I loved it. The first season looked to me as an introduction to these women and their world. It is a way for us to know them. Who are they? How’s their life? How do they work? Then, the story evolves, they change, they build their own path. That’s when the actual story begins. That’s when they become the bold type .
