The Blacklist is trash...
It's only selling points are the character of Raymond Reddington and the useless mystery regarding Elizabeth's relationship with Raymond....

These two things were what kept people watching the show...until it became apparent the writers had no idea what they were doing...

The silly mystery sef ended in a useless reveal...

As far as I am concerned, anyone who thinks The Blacklist is a well written show has low media literacy...

Even the fans of the show it it's terribly written but they stayed for Raymond...
it flopped after season 8 when Elizabeth was killed

They are three series I saw that I love.
1) Dune Prophecy
2) Silo
3) The day of the Jackal.

Can someone recommend nice ones for me?

Lol, if U also didn't like it that's fine

I no understand what the issue is..

I liked it, you didn't, how e take concern me na 🤣



Na your cup of tea be that, like I said every mallam with him kettle..

It's called entertainment for a reason, capish

it's not about liking it or not...for the umpteenth time, if you liked it that's good and fine. It's about facts tho. And facts can't be disputed and it's a fact that it had shitty writing cos the writers either ran out of ideas or didn't even know what they were going for when they started.

Lol, I'm just wondering who made U guys the judge, it's not shitty to me and that's the most important..

Ashawoman82:
I stopped watching the series after Elizabeth was killed, it really pained me.. Anyway I'll be resuming it soon though.. I stopped at season 9, episode 3 or so..

Nothing new in season 9 sha, they just had to wrap it up 🤣🤣🤣

Squid Game S2 (2022 - 2024)

"1 Timothy 6:10"

I won’t even lie,when I first heard about the second season of this, I was far from sold. It seemed like a silly cash grab, and the negative press surrounding its release in December deterred me even further. So, imagine my shock when I reluctantly decided to give it a try, only to find myself completely blown away.

Korean shows have consistently impressed me, and this epitomizes that fact. Despite Netflix's best efforts to layer the show with seemingly "woke" elements, the excellent writing and delivery came out on top.

This season is essentially a profound social commentary on the human condition, arguably even more impactful than S1. It revolves entirely around the concept of greed and how "the love of money is the root of all evil"...the backbone of this season's narrative. You can easily pick up life lessons throughout the season. For instance, the Recruiter offered hungry people the choice between bread or a lottery ticket, and they chose the lottery ticket!, forgetting their immediate hunger due to greed. Another example is how democracy might be a flaw cuz when irrational individuals make up the majority, their poor decisions affect everyone, including the rational minority. The contestants were given the power to vote and exit the game at any time, but their greed kept them voting to stay.

One of the standout aspects of this season was the emotional rollercoaster. The characters were so well-written that I found myself deeply caring for the rational ones. And the games? Incredibly intense!.... literally edge of your seat stuff!..., They added a thrilling layer to the narrative, making it even more compelling.

I haven’t seen nearly enough praise for the cinematography, which was outstanding. The arena shots before the games, with their grand scale, and the blood-stained arenas after the games, were visually stunning and added to the tension and beauty of the series.

The show’s popularity is no fluke, it’s genuinely that good. I am a firm believer now 😩..While some people might have issues with this season, by the time I reached Episode 7, I was hooked and yearning for more. I simply cannot wait for Season 3.

When discussions about TV show greats like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Attack on Titan, and Money Heist [/i]come up in the future, Best believe, [i]Squid Game will be mentioned in the same discourse. This is pop culture TV history in the making!..... undoubtedly Tv royalty!

I absolutely loved it!.

Excellent review! It's well-rounded and deeply insightful. They nailed it on the emotional depth, intensity, and the whole greed theme in this season, it is truly a perfect reflection of For the love of money is the root of all evil Your biblical allusion is spot on. As for the woke elements, I agree they weren’t an issue and didn’t overshadow the story, It was just straight to business. It’s an 8 for me though. Season 3 can’t come soon enough!

Mingle...
That game is crazy...

I thought about first running into a room immediately a number is called...

But ed what the Frontman did to a man he met in the room and even the teams that kick out people from a room...

If number 6 is called and you run into a room solo only for a full team to meet you there...omo you don go be that...

Seee...i saw so many negative reviews that it was meh and i almost ed it up, only for me to see it, and i low key almost enjoyed it more than S1 sef.

Yeah, the whole thing was just centered on greed, and the love of money, but then again, i can't really blame them, some where in pretty dire
situation. Like that Baba that was in debt of 10 billion won, which work e wan work to clear that kind gbesè apart from playing Squid Game? 😩😩.

My first thought was to run into any room first too but then I saw they had someone observing all the rooms and that person will communicate to the shooters to eliminate the ones that are not complete or maybe over. There was no hacking that game bro you just had to find the exact number of partners.
I was so nervous for that old woman and her son.

Na that shock make am go devise stupid plan wey go definitely kpai all the people involved.
And I think that's why people were saying it's trash. But I understood how desperate he was to try and be the hero and that desperation led him to ruin, and that Front man was there nudging him in that direction all along.

My Prediction for season 3 is that Gi Hun will win the game again and end up hating himself even more despite the amount of money at his disposal but then those guys looking for the island from the outside will find it and wreck the place so it'll be like the final game.

Seeee....It might seem selfish, but if na me be Gi Hun, i don carry my 45.6 billion won japa o. can't be arsed saving greedy people.

Those people entering the games clearly knew what they were in for, and even signed consent form. The only part i fault the Squid Game organisers is that that didn't state explicitly that "elimination" actually meant topping them for good from this life...they probably thought, elimination meant when they fail a game, they allow them go home 😩💀

Gi Hun is clearly propped up to be the hero of the whole thing, so most likely he will have a big hand in ending the games, come S3.

Do you think Netflix will end the game in the 3rd season giving that the S2 is already the 3rd most viewed non English Netflix show in just 2 weeks

SILO season 2 has terrible pacing...

So many characters acting like idîots...the latest episode pissed me off with the stûpid betrayal by Walker because of love

Before I predicted the season would end with Juliette returning to stop the riot...now I am not even sure the riot will happen this season at all...

You hv said it all. The season 2 is just a total waste of time

No progress from Juliette….No progress for those inside the Silo either

Walker betrayal for love that has been forgotten for 25 years was uncalled for. Just another means to prolong the show

Starting to be more like FROM no tangible answer till maybe season 4
