Soil (2021– )

It was enjoyable to watch, but I expected more...

[7/10 · 21 December 2021]

The plot of the story is original, but not that very interesting. My interest of Morrocan and Islamic culture is the reason I watched this. The show has a good combination of comedy and drama, however I expected it had more moments that made me laughing a lot, but it dissapointed me a bit.

The main characters Smile (Yassine Ouaich) and JB (Ward Kerremans) togheter forms a wonderful and bromantic duo. They have the funniest moments. Also Rachid (Saïd Boumazoughe) made me laugh and is a person you can both hate and love. Brahim (Tom Vermeir) has a strong character and interesting story. But some characters were too unfinished and boring.

The story went a little long-winded and the finale episode of season 1 (the only season this moment) was for me the weakest. I want to know how it goes further with the main characters, so I hope there will come a second and hopefully a better season.

#LikeMe (2019–2023)

#ILikeIt

[9/10 · 31 July 2021]

#LikeMe is not only just for kids and pre teens. I watched this show at the age of 23 and I really enjoyed it! The show contains everything what we want: family, friendship, romance, mystery, comedy, drama and a lot of covers from flemisch and dutch famous songs. It has famous actors like Jeroen Van Dyck, Janine Bischops, Gunther Levi, Sven de Ridder and many others. Also the teenage maincast did it very well in acting and singing. Caro (Pommelien Thijs) is a person who I recongize myself in most things, also the same by Kyona (Joey Kwan). I like Yemi (Fransisco Schuster) because he is optimistic, always happy and funny. Camille (Camille Dhont) is a person who I hated first, but I started to get sympathy for her at the end and I think Vince (Maksim Stojanac) is a handsome and nice guy! While I was writing this review, I've just watched only season 1, but I definitely gonna watch very soon the second season and the Christmas special. I also can't wait for the third season!

It doesn't matter how old you are, #LikeMe is a feel good show for ALL AGES!

Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom (2007)

A great movie that completes the story with the first three series

[8/10 · 10 November 2016]

I think the people who gave this movie a low rating, probably have never seen any series of it.

I loved Winx club so much when I was a kid, I had seen all episodes (of the first three series) a few more times and when I saw their first movie in theaters, I found it a perfect sequel of the third series and it was a great and magical adventure and here are the reasons why:

• Bloom is searching for her biological parents (king Oritel and queen Marion of Domino). In the first series, she discovered she was adopted and where she really came from, in the second series, she wanted to know more about them, and in the third series, she discovered who them has captured. Now in this movie, Bloom tries to find them!

• The beginning is exciting. It starts with an action scene in a dark castle.

• Flora, Stella, Musa, Tecna and Layla are graduated at Alfea.

• It has a perfect mix of humor and drama.
