Rewatcher here too 4th time?

On Prime Video in the UK

Like many of the actresses faces they have all the right ingredients but only half the range to express them. Which leaves them all a bit smoothed out and bland.

Thanks LA for keeping the articles coming

Fun but silly

Episode 4 and loosing the will to live, slow with unlikeable characters, it's a testament to the actors and the intriguing concept (and the FF button) I got this far.

I wasn't captured by this one at all CWS playing the same old character PBY with frozen face. I got to episode 2 in a couple of goes but stalled there I wasn't engaged with any of the characters. I may try again if I get stuck for something to watch.

I'm sure if you try hard you could fit another spoiler or 2 in

Thanks this is mentioned in a couple of reviews and is a complete no for me so I'll pass

Thanks for the review - nuanced without being an essay.

There are a lot of assumptions going on here.

If it makes you feel better I didn't particularly enjoy Season3 of Killing Eve either and I only managed the first season of Lost in Space (I came to it late).
I recently rewatched The End of the Fucking World which is a great bit of TV but I'm STILL struggling to finish Season 6 of The Expanse.
I rewatched the BBC Pride and Prejudice (the Colin Firth one) and still revelled in it I have the Persuasion mini series as well but I'm saving it.
I find it very hard to replace the Asian Romantic Comedies with western ones they are always leaping into bed far too quickly or are just too American for me but relatively canon Jane Austen works.

Is it comforting that I also struggle with other regions or is it worse?
Sorry 🥹

I dropped 107 in 16-19 and 144 in 20-24

Reset, The Kidnapping Day, Love Like The Galaxy, Crazy Love, The Glory for a few but you are right I've definitely been leaning towards the 'don't like it' side of things. 2016-19 are probably my most enjoyed years - I've completed 123 dramas from that period and I rarely finish what I don't like. 2020-24 I've only managed 44

Ones that I can watch over and over - Goblin, My Mister, J & K versions of Mother (K is an easier watch but J is a stunner), Love Like the Galaxy though I rarely finish pt II, Fox's Summer again Pt II fizzles, Oh! My Lady, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi.
And Yours?

A drop list larger than the completed list is a sign of discernment and taste 😁
Well that and the ability to overcome your investment hang ups.

It hasn't aged well has it? It was one of my first Kdramas and so many of the tropes were new to me when I watched it but the Jerk lead got old really fast. I was glad I persisted as it got better as it went along but I've never managed to rewatch more than an episode or two since, so I never reach the 'good bits' which probably colours my opinion a fair bit.

I think I'll just think oof her as a different actress and then it won't bother me so much. HJM '00 as opposed to HJM '82?

Well I'm enjoying the first few episodes but once again finding the aesthetic work on a Lead's face slightly unnerving. Obvious surgery is not appealing for me personally and can stop me watching but fortunately that isn't the case here (apart from the paralysis). It's the fact that she looks like someone else but with familiar features that throws me - like something went wrong in the pod before she was replaced.

Any road up she looks young and pretty which I suppose is the desired effect and the show is quite fun so far and it has cute kids which is always a win for me.

2017/18/19 I got over 20 each year I'm a little more discerning but I think a lot of it is uninspired programming

Spoiler much?
