Old Dads - a scary good portrait of modern society

In Old Dads, humor takes the spotlight, making it a comedy that might make you cringe a bit here and there. The show hilariously points fingers at the absurdities of modern parenting, bringing to light the comical extremes it can reach.

Am I old?

If you've ever felt like you're suddenly part of the older generation, this comedy might hit close to home. It doesn't shy away from poking fun at the peculiarities of today's parenting practices. That left the woke generation feeling a tad uneasy.

Sure, the characters are over-the-top stereotypes, but that's the point – it's a comedy! The goal isn't to portray real people but to magnify the ridiculousness of certain situations. It's all about exaggeration for the sake of laughter.

No one is totally right (or wrong)

The storyline takes an unexpected turn in the Vegas (ops, Palm Desert) scene, adding a touch of humanity to the characters. Let's say it wasn't their finniest moment.

While they had some good reason to be mad during the show, they also made some pretty bad decisions, especially here, dragging them away from the totally stereotyped character. After all, it becomes clear that we all have moments of getting things right and some not-so-fine moments.

Watch it for a good laugh

While it might not be the cleverest movie you've ever seen, Old Dads succeeds in its mission – to make you laugh and provide a good dose of entertainment.

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 is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia.

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 ...
