Bridgerton Season 2 - one was enough

 


While I enjoyed the first season, I never understood the fuss about this show. It is not that special. It is not that creative or innovative. I really didn’t get it. Now, this second season… has the exact same story with different characters!

It is the same old cliche. A girl and boy hate each other when they first meet. But it is all sexual energy contained, and they are secretly in love. The. Exact. Same. Story.

Where’s the Duke?


We already know that the actor was leaving the show. What we didn’t know was how they would deal with this absence. The couple could disappear, and we would only have news of them by letter or so. No! Daphne becomes a sort of extra with a couple of lines, and he is never there!

She spends quite a significant amount of time with her family but alone with the kid. Her husband wasn’t even present at her brother’s wedding, that was, by the way, his friend!

The Sharmas


The new characters have potential. Secrets and half-told stories are always good in this kind of show. Yet, I didn’t like them.

The sisters are pretty annoying, especially the youngest one.

One was enough


One season of this show was more than enough. Sure, it has good things, like the fact that it isn’t too slow, as most dramas tend to be. Perhaps, that’s the reason why we still keep watching despite everything I said before.

It was an interesting idea at first, massively successful. How about stopping there? They never do, do they?

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 – A Heartfelt and Hilarious Journey

  Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.  A Show That Grows Beyond Sheldon While you may start watching due to curiosity about Sheldon's early years, it soon becomes clear that this is not just about his childhood. The show includes an incredible variety of characters with their own charm and depth. Mary (Sheldon's religious yet compassionate mother), George (his often misunderstood father), and his siblings, Missy and Georgie, are all given their own moments to shine.  The cast and their chemistry make this show stand out. You start to care about each character's struggles and triumphs. This show quickly stands on its own as a heartfelt, family-driven sitcom. Especially in its last seasons, the show becomes a touching portrayal of small-town life, family dynamics, and personal

The Three-Body Problem: Unexpected and Challenging

  The Three-Body Problem on Netflix is a captivating and intriguing series that delves into the realms of science fiction with a unique and thought-provoking storyline. You can't let go from the first episode, even when you feel lost in the plot. Engaging and Intriguing The show excels in drawing viewers in with its complex narrative and engaging plot development.  From the beginning, the audience is immersed in a world of mystery, suspense, and scientific concepts that challenge the imagination. The intricate web of characters and events keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Flat Ending to Anticipate Season 2 After so much suspense and mystery, the season finale was a bit disappointing. Yet, it left us wanting more. I believe that for many viewers, it heightened the excitement for what lies ahead. With the foundation laid in the initial season, there is great potential for the upcoming season to address any lingering questions and provide, once more, good entertainment. Chal
