Quick Takes
Short takes on music, films, TV, anime, books, manga, audiobooks, and podcasts — the one-line reactions people leave when they scrobble, published to the Hive blockchain so each one is owned by its author. 1,504 takes and counting.
- Driven by her faith in Alicent, Rhaenyra positions herself to take King's Landing while the Triarchy sails to take on Corlys in the Gullet.
- Just finished watching Pritam and Pedro. I would highly recommend this series. Drama,entertainment,humour, cyber bullying all woven so beautifully together in the story. Privacy is a joke.🫠 Performances are top notch! Also Fuscia Pink will be remembered for a long time😄 Kabhi ,kisi se maafi maang lo, Kabhi ,kisi ko maaf kar bhi do....🎶
- A gripping documentary that tells real stories of power, money, and scandal. It keeps you interested from start to finish with plenty of eye-opening moments.
- Episode 10 completely pulled me in. The twists, emotions and shocking reveals left me speechless. It answered some questions but created even bigger mysteries. I couldn't wait for Season 2.
- The episodes handles Eds so well, even though it center about him finally hitting and end I feel like the episode did a lot and handle it just as good with enough importance as it should, it works because everyone finally accepts that they cannot hold on to everything, especially after an episode with so many other stories fighting for space. I give episode three an 8/10, it is definetly crowded in places but the quiet Baldwin goodbye is some of the strongest part so far for the season.
- The last season is Huma Qureshi starrer about human trafficking. I liked the first season, a thriller police story solving a difficult crime scene.
- Tumbleton gives these threads room to breathe while pushing them in the same direction and the same ugly point, nobody controls the situation, alliances feel temporary and I am giving episode four an 8.5/10 because its full of context on every aspect of the story and its characters, including the dragons.
- I am giving these first two episodes an 7.5/10, because even with some of the dumb character logic, the atmosphere is just too damn good to ignore. I will definitely continue watching this one to see how much deeper this rabbit hole goes, hoping we finally get some answers about that letter the mistress left behind before everything goes off the rails. This is a very very dark series that could / can be good if they just choose a lane and also be clear enough about it, so not half supernatural stuff, just full send it or just dont and cut it down.
- I am giving this episode a very 8/10, because it delivers some crucial answers about the memory drugs while setting up a sense of silent panic around getting that vitamin compound into the water before things spiral down any further. Towards the end its going to be a battle between the Algorithm and humans, and honestly I do think there is someone behind all this and not just an algo.
- That episode left me with nothing to complain about other than how convinient Anastasia using that exit pod and get to Sasha, like how Moscou didnt see that on their radar?, there were a couple of the narrative choices needed a leap of faith, because the performances is just top of the top. I am giving this first season a massive 9/10, yes because when I saw Chief Comander sitting there in the dark it was a HUGE WTF moment, completely blown away by how they managed to merge this love story with a full blown action series.
- This is as brutal as you would expect, but then these shows are not like the Avengers movies. Frank Castle lost his family and out to deal with gangsters.
- Simpsons special where Marge imagines Homer as various movie characters including Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Lots of in jokes. I've not watched the show in a while, but this was fun.
- Pluribus is a refreshing new narrative arch, existential thought provoking instead of the typical interpersonal emotive trope. Slow at times.
- It starts loosely but as the chapters go by it gains strength until a good climax. The ending leaves a bittersweet flavour although it is realistic.
- I am giving this episode an 7.5/10, because despite the rushed desicions, announcement around Anastasia it pulls off a reveal that changes the direction of the season. I cannot wait to see how they handle this next week episode, because if Sasha or Valya are still breathing, the Soviet government has a lot of explaining to do and I just pray they are, even better if they both alive because there is also their own internal conflict after Valya confesses been a spy to his best first Sasha, that might lead to Sasha confessing he was fucking Tanya, its hilarious where all this is going.
- The scenes in space or I would say related to the ship is what really kept the episode alife and they push this story into some very dark, unpredictable territory. I am giving this episode a solid 7.5/10 because it takes massive risks and delivers real tension, and it proves this series is not playing it safe, right now if we think about it half of the core characters are dead and they would have to build a second story, as important around it.
- A brutal story set in Harlem of a good man fighting gangsters. Some strong female characters. I enjoyed this one. I'm working through the Defenders. Already seen Iron Fist, so Punisher next.
- even with a few slow moments, the political maneuvering and betrayals here are just damn awesome, how the greens have outsmart them, playing mind games even between themself predicting the weak links. Rhaenyra has no money, the faith hates her, her closest allies are furious and the enemy just outsmarted her entire dragon advantage in one move. There has to be fire and blood on next episode, either someone head or some sort of armies clashing.
- The cat is out of the bag, its dumb survival mode from now on, despite a few convenient plot moments, the character work and the overall atmosphere are just absolute top tier mix of sadness and satisfaction, its always like the characters are drowning and every satisfactory moment the States pull them by their feet back under water.
