On 11 February 2018, I've read an article by "Detroit Free Press" recognizing Sameer Eid the owner of a Lebanese Restaurant called Phoenicia as one of the best restaurateurs in Michigan. He's been in the business since 1971 four years before the start of the war in his country of origin Lebanon. When I woke this morning one of the first things that popped while checking my Facebook page a status by one of my hometown relatives. A very talented cook Dina Bayoud Kohl writer of "The Taste of Marjeyoun." Talked about her pride & honor for meeting Mr. Eid.
On the weekend it was a marathon of Stranger Things, the first season was brilliant. The start of season two was relatively like season one and gradually the level of the thriller went up. My favorite part of this season was the involvement of the entire cast in the action.There are some nostalgic moments from the 80s with the arcades & when first personal video game console was released. The performances are amazing, especially the young cast they just click together. And one of my favorite actresses since I saw her in Edward Scissorhands, Winona Ryder. What a comeback she had since appeared in season one. Not going to spoil the season for you but I would say it's going to be more epic than season one. There will be more confrontations & a special appearance by one of the actors from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. For this Halloween season, it's the perfect treat you could ever have. Star Trek has been, without doubt, the most famous franchise in the history of TV shows. This series, that was created 51 years ago by Gene Roddenberry & although it stayed on the air for just 3 seasons it instantly became a hit. Gene created some memorable characters that influenced many. Three characters, in particular, would go like no character has gone before & garner an enormous following.
So before I give my take on the new edition to the family of Star Trek that was released on 25 September 2017 on Netflix. I will give a brief overview of the most important three characters in the Star Trek universe. Narcos is an absolutely brilliant series especially when it had a character like Pablo Escobar. I was waiting for season three like all fans, but not with big expectations since the king of Colombia is dead. If I want to judge on the season from a point of view of a critic, it's been executed brilliantly, but with few minor story loopholes. The fact that Jorge, the head of the security, didn't even have a small pistol, knowing he was part of drug trafficking organization this is a plot slip. Another major setback, for me, was that although it's based on true events, the story was dull when you compare to first two seasons. Story development of the four main characters especially the two godfathers of the Cali Cartel was very quick. It didn't leave room to get us attached to any of the characters like we did with Escobar.
In conclusion, the finale of season three passed away with some disappointing documentary style footage. There was no shocking ending, just your plain dull history recordings. Archive footage from the arrests of the Rodriguez brothers and glimpses of what happened to the other two partners Pacho & Chepe. They started as "bad-ass" to end as another two average dead gangsters. |
