NETFLIX'S " The Irregulars" series Non-Spoiler Review:

Irregulars presents a unique perspective on the detective narrative in Victorian England, offering a bold and creative approach.

THE PLOT:

A group of misfits collaborates to investigate supernatural crimes for Dr. Watson, a familiar character. Credit to the writers for thinking outside the box; typically, in Sherlock Holmes stories, we suspend belief in the supernatural because Holmes ultimately reveals a natural explanation. 

Bea, an orphan, takes on a job from Watson to solve child murders, leading to twists and turns that ultimately unveil a connection to her mother.

THE GOOD: 

The rich sets and CGI breathe life into Victorian England; every set is meticulously crafted, seamlessly immersing viewers in the story. 

Thaddea Graham, portraying Bea, embodies the character flawlessly, complemented by well-crafted costumes. 

The ensemble cast delivers performances that align seamlessly with their characters, and the supernatural aspects of the show prove intriguing, piquing my interest.

THE BAD: 

The extended runtime poses a challenge, with prolonged revelations and a slow buildup, resulting in a somewhat boring impact. 

While the plot is a fantastic idea on paper, its execution may be lacking—perhaps the underutilization of legacy characters like Sherlock and Dr. Watson, or clues and twists that fail to generate excitement. 

Personal preference may play a role, but the series felt somewhat tedious for me.

OVERALL: 

Is Irregulars binge-worthy? Perhaps, especially if you have an interest in the Victorian era, Sherlock Holmes, and supernatural elements. It's a one-time watch, recommended for those intrigued by the premise. 

However, if better options are available, they might be worth exploring. In conclusion, I have no regrets completing the series, though certain aspects could benefit from improvement. 

I did find enjoyment in watching it.

what happened to "MCU Post Credit Scenes"?

Post credits are going nowhere in Marvel these days. Back in the days when Marvel was still cool, post-credits meant something, something to root for. But now, it's not worth waiting in theaters to roll the credits and see Starfox, who isn't going to be mentioned in the next 10 years. Credit : MARVEL STUDIOS Let’s go back to the beginning of post-credits, the Iron Man movie. When Tony meets Nick Fury and he pitches the idea for Avengers, and we knew in that moment we have to follow through all upcoming movies to get ready for the Avengers movie. I watched Captain America, Thor movies just to keep up with the storylines for the Avengers. Credit : MARVEL STUDIOS But now when you compare post-credits after Endgame, it doesn’t make sense or feel like too much to follow. I personally feel like I cannot keep up with the storylines, threads in all the series, movies, and the post-credits. Now let’s compare the post-credit scenes before Endgame and after Endgame...

Netflix's " Rebal Moon The Scargiver" Non-spoiler review:

Rebal Moon:  The Scargiver is hard to describe; it's neither great nor terrible. It falls into the mediocre category. After receiving bad reviews for part one, I hoped Snyder would work on the issues, but he did not. Maybe the shooting part was already completed. Story: In the first part, we see Kora gathering fighters to defend the moon in which she took refuge, and now we see how the fight plays out. Fighters gather at the village, and after the one-hour mark, they fight, and that's the entire premise, with voiceovers providing two-minute backstories for every fighter. The good: There are some moments which are fresh, like James' morals versus his oath not to fight, and Cora being able to board the ship without anyone realizing.  These are some things which need appreciation, and the fight choreography is amazing at times. The visual effects are stunning; all the plasma blasts or the lava flowing after being shot is something new and looks amazing. In this mov...

Netflix's "Spaceman" Spoiler Review:

Unraveling the Web: A Disorienting Journey through 'Skinny Human' and Giant Spiders" credit: Netflix It is a movie made to satisfy the creative needs of writers and directors, and nothing is interesting whatsoever.  My problems with the movie:  Shots Visuals are so trippy; they made me dizzy. Nothing was shot normally; every important scene is either upside down or distorted.  Only the space scenes are tolerable. My head hurt so bad after watching the movie, and I'm writing immediately after completion because I may forget the pain it caused.  Concept- Movies are either made to entertain or educate, but this movie does neither.  The concept is so immature it totally misses the point, and it offers nothing in terms of education.  What is the purpose of his journey? Is it for change? To be a better human? If yes, why don't we start with his negatives, establish the kind of person he is! And give an arc of total redemption.  Is this a high co...
