Some subjects are very good and have an informative point of view and some valuable info but some of them are pretty generic and good but prety classic and we already knew this. It will depend on your knowledge. For me, the tv show have some interesting parts. And some others not really. I alreasy knew some stuff. Very good and instructive.

Didn't know much about this when looking through new Netflix content. Watching episode one, I enjoyed a Cinephile's musings, coupled with familiarity and shared experiences, such as the thrill of watching Jaws as a young girl. My interest picked up and I became tachycardia when in episode two I suddenly recognized a familiar voice... Could it be? Yes it could... TONY ZHAO!! From the still terrific "Every Frame a Painting" webseries along with his equally talented partner and co-creator of EFAP Taylor Ramos (who is a also a skilled animator), they now helm a new series continuing dialogue on cinema while also narrating two episodes, spanning 6 separate segments. An enjoyable and informative series of video essays on wide ranging topics. The topics are not always ones familiar to me, and the opinions differ from mine, which is why I enjoyed this so much--opens up my internal dialogue a bit and provides me with wider perspective.

This isn't a "celebration" of movies - no fluff, no catering to those who watch a film to entertainingly kill a couple of hours. This series is for those who like to look deeply into the crystal ball that is modern cinema. Best of the six episodes in my opinion is "But I Don't Like Him," hosted by Drew McWeeny, a look at the film antihero, in which are combined hero and villain using elements from the protagonist's own psyche. The other episodes are good too, and well worth seeing as they investigate aspects of film that are often overlooked. Each episode is basically a short, lasting from seventeen to twenty-three minutes each, so they're easy to fit into your viewlist.

First episode didn't catch, me. The second did. When the third came, I was in movie heaven.

There are some fantsastic clips in this series. It's just wonderful. But i guess you have to have seen a lot of movies to really enjoy. Many films are not identified.

I simpley loved it, beut the episodes are uneaven, naturally, since they are essays from very different people.

This has 5 entirely different episodes done by 5 different people on 5 different film topics. A montage. Oh - they are shorts in the literal term. Around 17 minutes each, so easy to watch.

Some are thoughtful and thorough. Others seem to thing you need to be bombarded with titles and clips. And their opinions. Well, they all give you their opinions, but some do it more forcefully than others.

Some I likes a lot, some better than others and one - not at all because I needed Dramamine to watch it. BUT - that's me.

You need to watch and listen and decide for yourself. No matter what you decided, I bet you will learn something from this quick study.
