I liked this episode a little more, but the pacing is awful. The script creates great tension, but character choices make zero sense. It's a fun watch, but in the end, we're rooting for a criminal about whom we barely know anything. Still, the tension moments were great, just bad scripting.
I'll be honest, there's no reason to keep me watching this show. The dialogue is pretty bad, directing mediocre, and the acting is mid. I'm staying with it because you never know,ashow can turn itself around within a few episodes. so, I guess, here we go...
THE. BEST. EPISODE. TO. DATE. HOLY. WHAT. WOAOFLK EI HF:K CEUFHASF ONSLAUGHT IS COMING!?!?!?!?
This episode was a little weird. I liked it, but it felt a little slow. But, that's okay! The cliffhanger was INCREDIBLE
JUBILEE HALLWAY FIGHT?! JUBILEE BLATANT DISREGARD FOR FAKE AUTHORITY?! JUBILEE?! WHAT AN EPISODE!!!
Watch my review here: youtu.be/CCwdi05dOTA?si=YAPaYsASsdCyVdYW Overall, I think this was a HUGE improvement over Season 1 (which I now realize was more of an 7 than an 8). I personally liked this season and some of the writing did improve upon the characters from the animated cartoon. This isn't the animated cartoon by any means, but it doesn't need to be. It's its own thing while honoring the source material. Though, like I said in my video review, the final two episodes are a bit rushed and you FEEL the Netflix-mandated writing for its finale, but overall, it's a solid watch.
At first, I wasn't sure about this series. In fact, I am still not sure it will find the right audience. Yes, I do tend to love stories aimed at women, as I relate a bit because I was homeschooled and surrounded by women my entire life. The real kicker with this series is that it does have EVERY typpe of adult personality on display, millennial or Gen X. It has it all in this series. The writing is subtle, also. It's not cheesy streaming writing (only at certain times where it feels mandated). But this shows the power of friendship, of community. The desire to not be lonely, but finding peace in being alone... through healing, acceptance (of both the GOOD and the bad). It WILL take so much time, but the healing and happiness is there. Each star has their own thing they need to learn to get through, but ultimately each person comes to understand that no matter the issue, you need friends and community to help you get through your own issues. And, sometimes, just being there isn't enough. Sometimes, people need active support even if it means tough love or going through something hard oneself. The main lesson this show teaches: you need a support group. I'll say it again but slightly different: EVERYONE. NEEDS. A. SUPPORT. GROUP. You have NO idea how this show turned itself around with me. I love it. It's subtle, and it's one of those I would recommend. It's not the best thing ever made, but it's Jennifer Garner (AND SURPRISE TOMOTHY OLEFANT)!!
What is the most disappointing about Yoing Sherlock is that it's actually insanely good for the first half of the show. First four to five episodes,you're in solid hands. But then the last three-ish feel insanely overstuffed (despite being 48 minutes average) while still being a tad rushed with it's execution. The series starts out as a detective case, but later turns into conspiracy spy thriller in the Fench Revolution?! Don't get me wrong, it's ALL really fun... But it gets a little crazy and convoluted some. Not to mention, the opportunity to do something spectacular with James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes but decided to opt for an entirely different answer. Maybe, that was the point? The "obvious answer isn't the answer" type thing? But if so, that's also dumb. Opting for a family driven spy drama over maintaining a new detective whodunit/whosduinit. In the end, I do like the series, but it's one that I think does need work. Guy Ritchie isn't the best writer, but I do love his stuff and this is such a fun ride for the first five episodes that it's excusable to a degree. By the way, I do not mind that Sherlock is hot. WHY IS THAT A COMPLAINT?! He can even act, so, DOUBLE-AWESOME! James is also perfectly cast! I can't wait to see what they do with him in season 2.
There's SO MUCH GOING ON—I feel like Lois in this episode 🤣 Jokes aside, I really did feel like this episode brought back the My Adventures with Superman vibes! The pacing is just... SO FAST!! At first, I was pretty happy with Superboy... Until I learned it's JONATHAN?! I'm a sucker for family shit, so, I did buy into the Clark & Jon bonding, but WHEW!! What is this X/Men '97?! They're BURNING through this storyline and I'm a tad worried.
DID NOT LIKE THIS EPISODE. Idk. I don't like how they're writing Kara. I also don't enjoy how they're writing Jimmy, either. There's So much going on in so little time, it's hard to fully appreciate the many characters that do appear.
Oh... Oh, I... Hm. This episode felt weird, did it not?? Not to mention, a tad overstuffed?? I'm SO intrigued, HANK AS CYBERBORG SUPERMAN?! here for it! As for the romance between Jimmy and Kara... I don't like wherei think the season will be going...
