It Ends with Us (2024)
Wrong Actress!
The storyline was good and could have been made into a great movie by why did they have to pick Blake Lively for this character? She is not a strong actor and does not do this movie any justice at all. She is not someone that you can easily warm up to. She gives off an air that she is better than everyone else and so it just killed the movie. Worst choice they could have made by picking her. And then the actor that played her husband was almost as bad. They did not have any chemistry together at all and the entire set-up of how they found each other was weird and not believable. She is why I gave it a 2, not the story itself.
The Outlaws (2021)
FINALLY!!! This is a 10 for Me!! Loved it!!
LOVEED ALL SEASONS OF THIS SHOW!!! Finally someone has put together a comedy with some drama, some quirkiness, engaging characters and it all works together perfectly! But why should I be surprised? British people haven't lost their sense of humor like Americans have and thank goodness for that!! And what I love is that they plucked a little bit of every color, shape, gender and age, characters who blended together perfectly! Well done producers! We all need to laugh more and will definitely get you laughing. It has it's serious sides as well but I love the dappling of humor, which is what life it. The cast is FANTASTIC!! LOVED THEM ALL!! If you are looking for something a bit off the wall, this is it.
American Rust (2021)
LOVE This! Raw Grit Reality at It's Best!
What makes this drama so special is the raw grit of reality. Too many times, we forget that there are people out there actually living this life every day. There is such a gross divide in social economics that the middle, rich and ultra rich want to keep their head in the sand, blaming the people for their poor choices instead of understanding that sometimes you are a victim of your environment and it is not always easy to scrape your way out of the hole to a better life. This drama clearly depicts that. What makes this even worse is the drug addiction to these parts of the country and how these people are trying to get to a different reality by using drugs which only digs them deeper into the hole. Love how the producers and writers have depicted real America!
Ted (2024)
Finally!! Something actually funny to watch!! LOVE IT!!!
I almost didn't watch this until a friend recommended it. I thought it would be that stupid safe humor that shows are going for now for fear someone out there takes offense to it. Quite the opposite and I love it!! FINALLY!!! A show that actually makes me belly laugh and where I have laughed so hard, I have to go back and watch it again to see what I missed. Every episode is great, interesting and different. Seth MacFarlane has done an amazing job entertaining the people! Hats off to him and Seth, please develop more shows because you actually get real life!! Can't wait to watch the next episode!
Monsieur Spade (2024)
It would have been a 10 if. . .
The subtitles drove me crazy! I love Clive Owen and I thought the story line was good, although it did get really busy at the end and it was difficult to keep up with who was who, and what was going on. What made it harder to do this was the AWFUL SUBTITLES!! When you are making a show for mostly english-speaking people, then make it in English and not with subtitles. The odd subtitle is okay but when the majority of the episode is with subtitles, this just sucked the fun out of watching the show. I was so excited to get started on this because of loving the Clive Owen and the french countryside but found myself becoming so aggravated with the subtitles, I would only watch half the episode and then come back on a different day to finish it up hoping by some miracle the subtitles had been removed only to find that no, still there. Ugh!!!
True Detective (2014)
Hoping it gets better!
I love Jodie Foster but this is just not that engaging and maybe its because the first seasons were so fantastic that they are hard to beat. It started out odd and with the typical white race gibberish which I am so sick of hearing about. It's a little too out there and x files like. Was not a fan of that show either. When I watch a detective show, I want it to be extraordinary, meaning that it could be believable but on the edge of being extra.
I am hoping it will take a turn to make it better. Did they make a change with the writers from the other seasons? If so, please bring them back. When you have so many people liking something, why do you feel a need to change it? Same thing with Mindhunter. This was a fabulous show but they aren't making any new seasons. Why?
Escape to the Chateau DIY (2018)
Love This Show!
I think it's fascinating to see people take these chateaus and turn them back into the beautiful structures they once were. We are all about ripping down culture and building a contemporary box with no character so it is refreshing to see that people actually value the blood, sweat and tears of the people from hundreds and hundreds of years ago not to mention how grand these chateaus are, built hundreds of years ago with archaic tools. It is quite amazing to think that people were capable of what they did with what they had. It is also lovely to see how people took pride in their home something we don't see that much of today.
Please keep making more seasons!!
The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy (2023)
Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!!!
Eugene Levy, we love you! We love your borderline sarcastic sense of humor, yet you are remarkably professional and compassionate. I love how you are always petting an animal.
Now on to the show. This is HILARIOUS!!! This is the best comedy I have seen in years, and I had to stop and wipe my eyes numerous times from the tears streaming down my face in laughter. I guess I can relate to the travel issues - too hot, too cold, which may make the humor more relatable, not to mention I am a Canadian. Thank you for bringing humor back because we've all become a little too serious lately.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make another season or two or ten and what would be great if Daniel would pop in on a few of the episodes, although you have it licked all by yourself.
I'm pacing myself because I know there aren't that many episodes left.
Thank you Eugene Levy for making my day!!!
Succession (2018)
Tried but just couldn't get past all the repetitiveness and ridiculousness
I really kept thinking it would have some interesting twists and turns or get over all the constant arguing where nothing get done. I swear there wasn't a single good thought that came out of any of their heads other than out of Logan's. Every episode was about them arguing and calling each other names. WTF? And then the executive guys stood around eating like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum? Huh? What were they supposed to represent other than a pair of idiots?
I was hoping to see some really smart thinking, excellent corporate room drama and dialogue. This was just bad.
Sorry Succession. Glad you are over and really not sure what all the hype is about.
Come on Max...let's get back to some good dramas.
The Lost City (2022)
I loved this even though...
Some people are not giving it the best review. Why? What is not to love when you have Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt involved. It is meant to be silly and off the wall. This is what makes it so perfect. We needed a movie like this to make us laugh. We've come out of a dark and dreary time so we need to lighten up a bit. We don't need movies that make sense or are dramatic by design. We need fun and humor. All of the supporting actors were great and managed to capture the essence of the storyline. I've seen this movie three times now and watch it when I need to have a good laugh.
For those of us that have a sense of humor, we got it!
The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
Not as Good as the Movie
The movie version is fantastic and maybe if they had put this series out first then I wouldn't have known just how much better it could be. The movie was gritty and dramatic with lots of suspense and twists. The plot was fantastic. This series is kind of goofy. The actors are made to act silly, so it is unlikeable and unbelievable. These make for the worst types of crime shows. It's a crime show. Make it suspenseful, dark and engaging and not so comedic. Love the writers and hope they revert back to more gripping action. People love police dramas, like Bosch, Lincoln Lawyer movie so why not keeping writing about what people love.
The Calling (2022)
Love this show!!!
I especially love the cast of characters and Michael Mosley is my favorite. Crime shows in New York can either be good or bad. There is no goofy unauthentic humor and each of the cast is flawed in some way. Next favorites would be Jeff Wilbusch and Karen Robinson. It is an excellent crime show with lots of twists to keep you wondering what is going on. David Kelley never fails us and I hope this show continues on with many more seasons. It is realistic with an interesting dynamic of how Jeff or Avi operates his investigation. This is definitely a binge watch series. My only complaint is there is not more of it!
Bosch: Legacy (2022)
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
There is something about Bosch that draws you in. It is very well written and the cast of characters is perfect. I think what makes Bosch so addictive is that you can somehow relate to different pieces of the emotional dysfunction. His inclusiveness for all things right is what we should all strive for. The writing tends to keep it more on the realistic side versus floating off into some unrealistic form. Love Mimi Rogers and her sharp wit.
PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!
Death on the Nile (2022)
It's Just Okay
Who doesn't love a great mystery? And Death on the Nile, with all of the newest technology for glitz and glam to showcase this adaptation; it was a letdown. The music was off-putting and the dance scenes an interjectory odd bit of sleaziness. Where has having some class and elegance gone? You have this amazing backdrop that could have created such mysterious undertones and yet...here we have, yet another movie, where the director tries to invoke a message of woke but where it is so blatant, it distracts from the flow of the movie making it appear disjointed, clunky and forced. Leave the messages subtle so the flow is not affected. The actors did not seem cohesive. I thought Russell Brand was the best at his character. It's okay for a TV movie but I'm glad I did not have to pay to watch this at a movie theater.
Mindhunter (2017)
FABULOUS!!!
This is intense and fantastic! What a great cast of characters who seemed to connect very well very quickly. The pace was great and the acting superb! We want more!!!
After Life (2019)
FANTASTIC!!
Best show I have seen in forever. This is authentic, has fabulous humor and covers real life situations. Ricky Gervais - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep writing and producing shows like this. You have a gift for entertaining. Love the dog!!!
And Just Like That... (2021)
Worrying About Being Woke Took The Fun Out
It started out awful and just got worse. Why did Mr Big die in the first episode? He is who made the original series. They tried to cram too many woke issues in so few episodes so thank goodness there weren't that many episodes. The acting seem rigid and disconnected. Maybe everyone was afraid to say the wrong thing for fear of backlash. So sad because the original series was fantastic. Tired of woke dominating what we watch on TV.
