I don't have a particular site for reviews...

I Google and read the articles I find

Also when I see lists like some rolling stone lists sometimes, they tell me nothing tangible about the show
That is why I don't take most critics seriously


Till date I prefer user reviews to critic reviews
If i google "Buhari is the best president, Nigeria has ever had", i would most likely find an article proving this point but we both know the man is total shambles.

So to "Google" and "looking for the right things" are two different things entirely. You will find this "Un Vague" reviews by randomly searching articles from every tom, dick and harry" on google.

if you say so...

When I want to watch a top rated show... especially something rated as top tier...
I like to know what makes it stand out...

An article that does not tell me that is worthless to me...
Why I mentioned articles and reviews using vague terms
To settle it....You owe us in the thread, one detailed un vague review sometime, so we can gain from your fountain of knowledge

Pick a well-detailed review of either or both shows by yourself and give to the guy and I promise you he'll still find another strawman to come up with or just straight up not comprehend the article.

As innnn....I seriously have a headache and my thumbs are numb from typing. Going round in circles just to prove that white is black which it is clearly not, i still can't decipher what his point actually is seriously.

I hope he blesses us with a detailed review, cuz i for one seriously want to see it.

I will never post a detailed review on Nairaland...I am not a blogger...

But all my reviews on Nairaland about top shows always contain "elements that stand out in the show"
I always praise shows for these elements

It's just Vulture(.)com. I use the site too, their reviews are good. The recaps section is my favourite, discovered some good show there.

maybe you can find one for me then...

At least someone recommended a site...which when I have time I will determine whether I like their reviews or not...
If I agree with 70% of their reviews of shows I've seen and I enjoy reading them, then it will become a go-to site...

On YouTube I mostly watch Critical Drinker cos I agree with about 70% of his reviews...not 100% but a good amount...and I enjoy his content too

You are not a blogger but you want detailed review from the IMDB comment section, which is clearly not a blog lol.

Okay screen grab some of these your reviews, because i tried to go back some pages and all i see you shouting is "Peak, Peak, Peak"!

New on the thread, hope my ramblings with the big man with the so refined taste in shows doesn't count as derailing the thread?

For this i apologise.

seankafor:
was the spores too gory? Why the uproar from fans?

Nope. It was stated before the show started that spores was omitted from the show and instead replaced with fungi.
Still, in that museum scene, Ellie mentioned the undead that emits spores.

I seemed as if you're looking for sites with reviews you agree with. Whatever the case may be, you will enjoy reading vulture.

I can only agree with a review if I've even watched the show

If I check for reviews of a show I haven't seen, it's because I'm looking for a reason to watch the show

An example is The Last of Us...
I hate horror shows but I've been looking for reviews in order to make myself watch it cos it's very hard for me to make myself watch horror

Na now I know say this guy dey drink akamu and no know nothing wey him dey talk. I was even taking this dude slightly seriously. Lmao.


Person dey complain of reviews and all he brought was audience reviews which aren't even really good at breaking down a proper film review.
You were saying most people just parrot critics' opinions as top notch show, but you didn't show us ANY of the professional critics reviews about the shows in question.
No be duplicitous behaviour be dis? 😏😒 The one thing I hate in this life na chronic pretenders and hypocrites.

rest.

You can Google it yourself...
Even if you ignore the user reviews in user review sites or quora or any similar sites...you will still turn up with reviews like these...

Google it yourself and see...before you say I'm selecting reviews on purpose

Like I said I don't have particular sites

Like I said I don't have particular sites
I honestly did some Google search just now...
And I didn't find any review worthwhile...

I could as well screenshot all the pages I opened...nothing tangible

You might have review sites you trust, I don't...
I simply google and check the reviews on some pages to find out a reason to watch
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 11:17pm On Jan 24, 2023
Now on the other hand, look at the first review I saw of Legend of the Galactic heroes

Look at how this alone gives me a reason to watch even without reading further


Proof that it's the first link

hopefully those doubters can see what I meant when I look for "something that stands out" in the show

Kikibanki hope you finally understand me

Look at the Legend of the Galactic Heroes review...
I don't even need to read further or read other sites...


Immediately I will want to watch the show

That is a proper review not the vague nonsense I saw in about 3 pages while searching for The Wire reviews

When an article has a section titled: what makes The Wire special and yet can't even answer its own question...
That is a worthless review
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 11:24pm On Jan 24, 2023
Further...
This is a proper review

It states it's one of the best anime and tells me why...
That is what I want to know

It also states what the show is about, it's method of storytelling etc

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 11:27pm On Jan 24, 2023
More examples...

From the first google page of Breaking Bad review

You can see how the reviews not just talk about the great character relationships but also talk about how well the character development stands out

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Gidah: 11:31pm On Jan 24, 2023
Reading comment about the wire characters from the screenshots is giving me goosebumps .nah mehn THE WIRE made me rate HBO more ,it's more real and relatable to the world than breaking bad in my opinion not taking anything away from breaking bad still the better show but the wire is just too deep and real .surely gonna watch it again.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Gidah: 11:33pm On Jan 24, 2023
Another banger of a show Better Call Saul ,if you are a breaking bad fan BCS is kinda a must watch somehow ,it makes you appreciate some special details about both series as a whole .
