All the best shows coming out towards the end of the year is both criminal and oddly fitting. What a way to wrap up 2024. This and Light Shop will be a hard act to follow if there are any last minute premieres 😭 Heck, I'll still be thinking about them well into the new year

I want to echo this. We wouldn’t have gotten Moving as we know it to be now.

It’s so that when the passing spirits talk to her, and she murmurs in agreement, it looks like she’s simply eating. It seems like she encounters a few

I have to agree with the last several comments concerning the ending and the slow decline of the show. I wish they could’ve been a bit more intentional. That said, I found the sisterhood beautiful and it gave me some hearty laughs. Wish it could’ve maintained that essence.

I did like this drama, but I don’t necessarily think it needed 16 episodes. Once they concluded the main plot, it felt like awkward side missions. I would’ve liked a tad more emotional depth with some of the cases, with a maybe more detailed client-lawyer dynamic. That said, I did love the pairing of the leads.

I’m kinda broken at the fact that everything that scared us was actually shrouded in love.

And the realisation as to why the nurse carries the tupperware of tomatoes :(

Just a concise and well-written show. I hope people continue to discover it!

I'm quite surprised people see a significant quality difference between S1 & 2. As someone who didn't find either super engaging, I'd say they're only marginally apart. Still a very unique concept.

This made for a good passing watch, but I really wanted to like it more. Maybe it needed to be delivered in a more concise manner.

I feel like the story was super convoluted given it's only 8 episodes. I see what they wanted to achieve, but the set-up wasn't fleshed out enough for it to mean anything for their present-day romance.

It was somewhat sad, but there was a silver lining. I think it’s still worth watching!

Hopefully they’ll go back to their essence

Hopefully the success of this show will give broadcasters the necessary push

Referencing them killing off the real king.

This was a super promising period drama, and it felt like everything was aligned. However, a specific writing/plot choice (I’ll comment on below) prematurely undercut the drama’s potential. Personally, I think it lowered the stakes and eliminated future tension farrrr too early.

I think the prospects of a second season greatly hampered their performance with the first season. An element of romance felt like the most natural progression but that didn't happen. I still enjoyed it, but I can’t in good faith give it a higher rating. I think the lead’s previous project, Military Prosecutor Doberman strikes a much better balance. I will eagerly anticipate S2.

No shade, but your response seems to be a random throwaway comment that has no bearing on my original observations. Like, you’ve not engaged even 1 point I listed. You’ve actually started a parallel conversation with no links. So it may be better to have this as its own comment, as opposed to under mine… 😭

The Good Bad Mother actually had some of the most moving scenes of last year, with extremely emotive acting. However, outside of these sparse, poignant moments, much of the show felt painfully substandard. Like, I genuinely cannot believe that truly breath-holding scene in the front yard, with the mother's stunning line delivery, holds space with the final plot. I cannot fault the acting, particularly the leads, but even that could not remedy the final execution. The twins were an absolute treat though 🥹

Every day I'm on mdl, I question my concept of a slow burn—or maybe the shows in question are slow burns, but they’re just very poorly executed ones. Calling this boring would be too easy; it’s rudimentary. I also have to mention the filter/grading because it’s just that bad. The dials for such colouring need to be banished to a digital prison where no other filmmaker or editor can touch them.
