Star Wars: Andor

Fantastic, spy, thriller | 4.37 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season

A spin-off of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", which is set five years before the events of the movie. The series is about the fledgling Resistance and Cassian Andor, who decides to join it despite not previously believing in the revolution.

"The season is amazing, I wasn't expecting it at all, but it's just about the best project in the ST universe in years and one of the best shows of this year. The way the series kept the suspense going at all times, the dialog, the characters, the music (especially how the funeral scene was decorated) - one is left to thank the showrunner team and wait for the second season", — kobiii.

"Awesome series. The writers are just bravo, so clever and thoughtful. In the trilogy of sequels, even the main characters could not normally spell out, and here any minor more emotions cause. Delight from the first to the last episode, but especially, of course, starting from the sixth", — OlgaL.

"Andor is very much enjoyed. It is one of the best projects in the ST universe since Disney acquired the franchise. For me, it's in the Top 3, on par with 'Mandalorian' and 'Outcast 1'", — Bart182.

"The White Lotus"

Comedy, drama | 4.05 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons

The show chronicles a week in the life of the staff and guests of the luxurious White Lotus resort. Each day the vacationers and employees show more and more of their true character, causing relations between them to become tenser and the tropical idyll to grow darker. The action of the first season developed in Hawaii, and the second — in Italy.

"I liked the second season much more than the first, although not all my predictions came true) The most interesting thing was to watch the story of married couples. I agree with the comments above, the series is specific, but in some ways unusual and addictive", — MarbleMe.

"Definitely series of the year. Terrific characters, setting, storylines, the finale is fiery", — indianhate.

"Very good, the second season clearly holds the bar of the first. The cast is amazing, well, and of course the beautiful Italy. The perfect selection of music helps to fully immerse and feel the series. Tension to add also did not forget ... In short, I'm delighted and can definitely recommend to watch fans of good and not too long stories", — YuliaPishchev.

"House of the Dragon" 

Action, drama, fantasy | 4.44 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season 

The events of "House of the Dragon" take place about 200 years before the plot of "Game of Thrones" and tell the story of the beginning of the fall of House Targaryen. In the story, King Viserys I Targaryen chooses his daughter Rhaenyra as his heir. However, this does not please Viserys' brother and sons, for a woman cannot rule. After the king's death, a rift occurs among the Targaryens, resulting in a civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

"In terms of narrative, House of the Dragon was more reminiscent of Chinese epics than Game of Thrones, but it retained the same atmosphere and unpredictability in a good way. It's like reading a good fairy tale. I'm looking forward to the new season!" — Scandias.

"WOW. Because I haven't read Fire and blood and don't know at all about the Dance of Dragons, I don't know what's going to happen to the characters, and moments like the chase in the storm are unrealistically suspenseful. I was watching with bated breath and creeped out, it was a real horror movie", — Bice.

"The beginning of the season seemed boring and uninteresting, but with each episode was drawn in more and more. Towards the end, they ramped it up well so the finale is so very strong", — Arigato_Samurai.

"The Crown"

Drama, historical | 4.55 out of 5 on MyShows | 6 seasons

"The Crown" chronicles the life and reign of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the crises, intrigues, and worries of the royal family. Every two seasons the actress playing the British monarch changes as the character gets older: for example, first Elizabeth was played by Claire Foy, then — Olivia Colman, and in the last parts of her role is played by Imelda Staunton.

It is the fifth season of the series that is nominated for an Emmy this year — all users comments refer to it.

"The season is cool in some places, the cast is well chosen, but in general passable some season, it feels like the introduction to the story watched. The beginning of the season is cheerful, by the end it somehow dragged on and on", — siberiandragon.

"The cast is good, as usual. Imelda's voice is unmistakable. Dominic West is cool, removed all the nervous habits of Charles - the ritual of checking cufflinks, hand at the pocket, ironing the ring, facial expressions are also good. Elizabeth is so tall, but again the voice, Diana's intonations, the tilt of the head. Jonathan Pryce I've already praised", — scarcelyinside.

"The season is good and qualitatively filmed, but objectively of all five - the weakest. On the one hand it's so cool that the timeline is closer to our time, that there's so much Diana, that we got to see William and Harry. But something was missing", — alinches.

"Better Call Saul"

Drama, crime, legal | 4.41 out of 5 on MyShows | 6 seasons

The prequel to the TV series "Breaking Bad" is about Jimmy McGill, who in the future will be known as Saul Goodman. In 2002, he's still just a former con man who decides to turn down the slippery slope and open his own law office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"Thanks to Gould and Gilligan for this show, which for so many years has made you catch both a luteous aesthetic (oh the crackling of the sign in court) and immense mental delight. The greatness of Breaking Bad seems to have only increased thanks to this series, and it's a joy that Saul won't be remembered only as a prequel to a brilliant series, because thanks to such a high bar of quality, BB can already be considered a sequel to an equally brilliant show. A sheer delight, I repeat, and the best point for this universe", — Bullseye0901.

"The one case where from start to finish the show holds the bar and doesn't let go of your thoughts. Just finished re-watching Breaking Bad the day before yesterday with my sister already, and now the Saul series is over. Of course, I'll come back to these characters. I'll go back and rewatch more than once, without sparing any time or sleep", — Alina_Prim.

"Yes, it's not the emotional roller coaster of the last few episodes of BrBa, but it's its own and very strong, in many ways sentimental, yet realistic finale, the likes of which I didn't expect (Peter and Vince have not lost their ability to surprise). Oh, and there was enough tension in the final season in the episodes that wrapped up the prequel portion of the series", — Dualshock777.

"Succession"

Drama | 4.37 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons

Logan Roy is the powerful head of Waystar, an international media corporation. When he falls ill, his direct heirs have an unwinnable battle for the coveted throne that will open eyes to the supposed family fortune.

"Armstrong vividly revealed this whole world of the 1% that many dream of, and even more vividly showed that people shouldn't go there, because you will stay there broken, beaten and sad even if you end up at the very top. Amazing show, it's a shame you're over, but it's a good thing you're over now", — Bullseye0901.

"Well it was, for lack of an equivalent, gut wrenching. Such a twisted and mutated version of King Lear. Remember Don Draper from Mad Men was a model of a well-written complex character? Well, there's a whole bunch of them here. It's amazing", — scarcelyinside.

"In general, it's amazing that absolutely all the characters are cum scum, but you love them anyway. The cast is incredible. I'm off to rewatch Jeremy Strong's entire filmography", — KatyaCyanide.

"The Last of Us"

Action, drama, horror | 4.54 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season

Based on the video game of the same name, the series is set 20 years after the destruction of modern civilization as a result of a pandemic. Smuggler Joel is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of the quarantine zone. What begins as an easy job soon turns into a difficult and heartbreaking journey, during which Joel and Ellie will have to learn to trust each other.

"Without a doubt we got the best series adaptation based on a video game imaginable. The series kept the best of the original and added new touches to the story. They paid attention to the actors of the original in the form of various cameos, which also can not fail to please", — poompooroom.

"In general I am very happy with the picture, size and pace of the series. Thankfully it's not meat and chopping. A gentle introduction to a new old universe. Characters were revealed, characters were sympathized with, and motivations were understood. Very good", — milanajager.

"It has it all: drama, infected, gorgeous acting, action and beautiful scenes. If that's not a 10 out of 10, then I don't know. Loved the acting of the actors, overall a lot of moments copying the game and it's gorgeous too. Definitely looking forward to season two!" — MacLeoddd.

"Yellowjackets"

Drama, horror | 4.03 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons

The private plane of a high school team of talented female soccer players crashes in the forests of Ontario. The series chronicles their transformation from a cohesive and successful team to a warring clan of cannibals, and the lives they try to piece together nearly 25 years later.

"The season turned out to be a drag, but I won't say straight up awful. I would have liked more thrash and twists and turns, but as it is, we're moving at a snail's pace. If the authors really have the desire to stretch for 5 seasons, then I doubt that the next one will change much and they will be a good half of the season with the coach to agonize. But hope springs eternal", — Iam_Morgan.

"I liked the second season better than the first! I was really looking forward to the brutality and cannibalism in the first season, and it was so slow that I didn't even want to watch the second season. I think, nevertheless, this series is one of those that you have to watch in full, the emotion is very much lost when you take a break. The second season started very cool, but sagged in the middle, the end I am satisfied with", — evil_pentagram.

"The first season is certainly stronger than the second. While I watched the first one without tearing myself away, there was intrigue between the heroines, the second one focuses a lot on the adult versions. I understand that it's hard to try to seem like someone else in front of people with whom you are finishing your friend together", — fIbbi-s.
