Insecure (2016)
Loved episode one but not episode two.
I was hoping I had a new series to watch but it looks like that won't be the case. The first episode was extremely well written and acted. Great story line too. But unfortunately the second episode was ruined by too many remarks about peoples color. It gets very boring very quickly because of that. For once I would love to watch a program that didn't have to constantly remind you what a persons color was. I mean hey, guess what, I can see what color everyone is already. It just seems so cheesy to have the reminders. Or is that all the show is going to be about. Seems limiting. You can feel the change between episode one and episode two.
But I have to say I think the acting is fantastic, especially Issa Rae who is also the creator. And I love that it's set in Los Angeles. You know, the real Los Angeles.
Westworld (2016)
Hope it gets better!
Meh... In a nutshell, this is an overrated spaghetti western version of Grand Theft Auto. Kind of disappointing after all the hype. Although I do enjoy some of the characters, it's as if they are trying too hard to shock you. The problem with that is it feels very transparent and often tedious, making it hard to get lost in the story. You can almost predict every scene. I hope we can't predict every episode...that wouldn't be any fun at all. For a series that is supposed to be so interesting it somehow misses the mark and comes off one dimensional and flat. But hey, the costumes are very believable and so is the scenery. And yes, we can be whatever the f'k we want to be...blah, blah, blah. Yawn.
