I waited in anticipation for this show since I am a huge fan of Black Mirror.

However, the "comedy" special turned out to be a mostly political criticism that catered to a Liberal audience, with a few funny one-liners to classify it as a comedy. Topics include Black Lives Matter, ripping on Trump and Boris Johnson, ripping on anti-maskers, justifying the BLM riots, etc. I wouldn't have minded its political content if only it was balanced, like how they do comedy in South Park.

The target market of this disappointing "comedy" show obviously are people who consider themselves as Liberals. If you are sick of politics forcibly inserted in your comedy or if you are a Right-Winger, you are not going to enjoy this.

Medal of Honor tells the stories of how some American soldiers during WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the war in Afghanistan earned the highest military honor a soldier can get: the medal of honor. It features interviews with the actual medal recipients, their relatives, friends, and actual soldiers they fought with. Reenactments of the battle where the medal recipients displayed extra-ordinary courage and care for their unit or mission beyond the call of duty are also shown.

The unbelievable courage displayed by the medal recipients and their impact on their communities, family, friends, and fellow soldiers will touch you. I teared up in most episodes of this series.

A negative thing about the show though is that an episode is actually just 20 to 30 minutes long only, and the rest of the episode features outakes and actual footage of the awarding of the medal of honor to the recipient in the White House.

Bird Box will give you a proper suspense that will make you hold your breath. It also has great acting, very good actors, good cinematography, and quality music. Bird Box also has some very good thriller scenes.

However, there are a lot of idiotic events and situations. I know this is fiction, but post-apocalyptic fiction is supposed to be fiction only up to the cause and driver of the post-apocalyptic event. The reactions and limitations of the characters still have to be realistic. Some things that the characters do in Bird Box are not supposed to happen if this fictional scenario actually took place IRL. The title is also pretty lame since the bird box has very little to do with the plot.

Watch this only if you're pretty bored or you've run out of thrillers to watch.
