Only Murders in the Building - a sweet trio

  I just finished the second season of Only Murders in the Building , and I must say I loved it. After watching a couple of episodes, I was hooked. Sweet characters and intricate stories full of mystery, I couldn’t ignore. The friendship between Mabel, Oliver, and Charles is excellent and funny. There is so much chemistry between the actors! The show is truly immersive. True crime podcast Can a crime story be funny? Of course! Only Murders in the Building is a clever comedy with good timing and unexpected plot twists and characters. It is about crime, but it is also about friendship and trust. It is a funny, light story that truly entertains you. Who’s the murderer? As with any good crime show, it is not who you’d expect. Instead, new and slightly shady characters are revealed through each season. However, as with many sitcom-style shows, at some point, you already know who did it before the characters find out. Light comedy works It is a light show, despite the crimes, fun and en...

It's a Sin - First came the Freedom, then the Ignorance, and ultimately, the Prejudice

  It's a Sin is a show focusing on the gay community in the 80s, trying to survive the AIDS outbreak while fighting prejudice, intolerance, and abandonment. Recently, more and more shows are timed in the 80s. It's been 4 decades, and it starts to feel vintage .

If you decide to watch It's a Sin out of curiosity, then you should ensure that you're ready for it. How did it all start? It's tempting to look back and accuse people of ignorance, but this show it's an interesting journey. It goes step by step, creating a comprehensive approach to what happened and why. The four main characters are from different places and backgrounds. That is the first clue to the fact that it didn't matter where you were from, how smart you were, or any other thing. Nothing would protect you. No one knew what it was. Freedom Most characters...

House of the Dragon - review

  When I first learned about this prequel to Game of Thrones , I was sure I wouldn't want to watch it. The Targaryens were not even my favorite family. Yet, like most of us, I couldn't avoid checking it out. Slow Beginning The story happens 172 years before the Game of Thrones story, and there are not that many changes. The universe is the same, the world, the costumes… but, simultaneously, there are so many things you don't recognize. Big families are not that important yet; new families you have never heard of take the central role. You may need some time to get used to it. I started watching the show, but I didn't like it very much initially. It was all about a couple of characters; it lacked the juicy intrigue Game of Thrones had made us love. Rhaenyra seemed to me a spoiled little girl, quite annoying sometimes. And the king… well, he was a pawn who lacked authority. So I had to ask myself, "Do I want to continue watching this?" I'm glad I did. Plot...
