Gangs of London (2020– )
9/10
Nonstop Action!
2 February 2025
If you like nonstop action, this is the show for you.

I only started watching because Catherine Stark (Fairley) from GOT was in the cast and this series is so much more! The cast is outstanding beginning with the character Elliot (Dirisu) who is remarkable! Another favorite of mine was the acting by the character Lale (Rashidi). Sean (Cole) and Billy (Vernel) were outstanding as well!

The gore is off the charts ten fold which is a bit much at times. Another great thing about this series is this is a true thriller and there are tons of twists and turns along the way.

This is a series that is worthy of the full binge which I completed in 2 days because once you start it you just can't stop watching.

Looking forward to season 3!

The Night Agent (2023– )
8/10
Season 1 really good; season 2 down a peg
26 January 2025
Warning: Spoilers
Action, edge of your seat thriller. Season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 was full of action but I'm not really sure the purpose of the character, Rose, in season 2. A citizen that gets classified credentials; ya, okay? Season 2 has really great new characters such as Catherine, Javad, and Markus; and one of my favorites, Noor. I will be looking forward toward season 3 for the double agent role which seams to be an exciting twist to the lead character.

I feel the Rose character exhausted her role and hopefully they let it fade in season 3 and let Peter get into his new role. Peter doing his thing and Rose almost getting him killed again and again is getting exhausting. Move on.

Winner (I) (2024)
10/10
Truth, power, jail
20 September 2024
I think this Reality was brilliant. Based on the true story along with extensive experience in the government, I applaud Reality in her quest for truth and not bowing down to "the man". Reality's intentions were true to her American values and she stood up for that; I respect that. I cannot imagine all of the skeletons in the closet in this world that the rich and powerful control.

I thought the story was acted professionally and felt the story needed to be told. I wonder how many other items are kept secret; of course, in today's world with social media it's hard to tell what is truth and what is propaganda.

The Acolyte (2024)
7/10
Enjoyed; filler episodes are not necessary!
17 July 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed the story because like all passionate Star Wars fans; we like to fantasize about a Galaxy Far, Far Away and want the story to move on. However; the overkill of the same investigation over and over in different forms in multiple episodes was unnecessary.

All of the characters did a fantastic job and am very curious where OSHA and the master storyline go. I will be looking forward to Season 2 and the appearance of a much younger Yoda. I'm intrigued by where the story could go and endless possibilities that the writers have to bring new characters to life. The bad ratings of this are surprising. Give it a shot and make your own assessment. Episode 4 was made when I was 3 years old and I will be a Star Wars junkie forever. To the writers, keep it going! But the overkill episodes are not necessary considering you wait all week for the new episodes and learn that it's just a filler episode; not necessary!

Remarkable!
9 February 2024
Every now and then a remarkable production comes along; you know the show that once you begin watching, you simply cannot stop until the end. That is why Lesson in Chemistry checks every box. Brie Larson is magnificent and shows true range as a complete actress. This was not a Captain Marvel super hero film, this was a complex role and she truly brought the character to life. The supporting cast was also brilliant.

When searching for something to watch, you are looking for something inspiring with characters to cheer for and twists and turns that keep you guessing. Again, this show checks all the boxes from start to finish!

Rules of Engagement (2007–2013)
6/10
Half funny
15 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Warburten, Spade, and Timmy made me keep coming back to see what was next. The two ladies and Adam should have stayed in the dressing room. The show is titled Rules of Engagement but is more like How You Can Get One Over on your Spouse. The writing had no direction, Jen and Adam get engaged in first episode and then you rarely hear about it again. Audrey and Jeff fight every episode about either how the male half of the relationship can outdo the female half or vice versa. Then there is the raunchy part of the show between Russell and his assistant, Timmy, which toward the end of the show is exhausted. For the most part, I fast forwarded through all of the Jen and Adam parts because it was terribly acted and they were never convincing regarding a couple that should be together let alone engaged. The show got a 6 due to Warburton and Spade to see what their funny skits would be next.

Lioness (2023– )
9/10
Not believable
18 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The action is good but the plot is ridiculous due to main character who is supposed to be deep undercover but leaves the mission whenever she wants and has scars all over the place when she arrives back on scene which would raise questions. Furthermore, the security at the mansion is top notch and lioness just waltzed back in there with no red flags. The family drama of Saldanas character is just filler and useless in this type of story. The behind the scenes in the war room was new territory that I haven't scene in a picture before and I'm sure in real life it goes deeper than what was shown as far as the corruption on a regular basis. This is a 5 at best but could have been so much better for a Sheridan production.

Show with no direction
2 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Loved this show until Shy left Midge on the runway. Everything after that goes directly downhill! Midge and Susie are great! Joel and Rose are good. Abe and Joel's parents snooze fest! I think I fast forwarded through every single frame that Abe was in; that's how bad it is! Writers dropped the ball at the runway and show was on a train with no tracks the rest of the way. I really enjoyed the Midge and Lenny Bruce dialog, they had a chemistry between the two of them. I also enjoyed Susie and I don't care about how many F'a she says because she can pull it off! Would have liked to see writers dig deeper into Susie's character; back story and such. This show makes you root for Midge's success and then all you get to see is her fall even when she kills it! Please rewrite starting with taking out entire runway scene and build on Midges success from there.

Young Sheldon (2017–2024)
8/10
Sheldon maybe name in title, other characters steal the show!
8 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Fun show on its own; has nothing to do with TBBT other than Sheldon. In this show, the young man that plays Sheldon does a good job, but it is the rest of the cast that steals the show. In my opinion, Memaw, Georgie, and Missy are the fun part of this show. Spoiler alert: later in show, Osment plays Georgie's girlfriend Mandi and is a great addition and spark that this show needed. Sheldon's storyline was getting tiresome with the two old guys all the time and when the story became about Memaw getting parlor and Georgie and Mandi it rebounded a bit. Young Sheldon may be the title but the show itself is stolen by the other characters who do a remarkable job!

The Snow Girl (2023–2025)
4/10
Good story, terrible execution
2 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this because I love a good thriller. The storyline was fantastic and that's where it ended. The acting was not very good and the flow of the mini-series was missing something. It was dubbed in English and I can't stand when the words/speech are distorted and fake. Also, it was not believable that detectives would not give everything they have to find a 5 year old girl and somehow this new intern reporter shows them up at every turn? I think a better cast would make this story jump off the screen. Also, the angle that the mothers profession is something detectives would look past and not follow up on every lead possible when pertaining to young child abduction.

The Recruit (2022– )
10/10
Hidden Gem
28 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This series had my attention from the very start to the end and so I want more. Can season 2 start tomorrow? The full cast was remarkable and writers did great job of never ending twists and turns where at end of each episode you say to yourself "Did that just happen?" Owen kinda pulls his character off but he's a freakin lawyer with CIA and they are supposed to very smart but he always comes off as the F-up. Max (Haddock) kills it (by far my favorite character)! Hope that wasn't the end of her. The supporting cast was also very good.

Tons of action!

Seriously, season 2 tomorrow; I want more now!

Please!

Squid Game (2021–2025)
7/10
Great story
30 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This show had a great story! I thought the game rooms were the best part and made show come alive. The only thing that was annoying was the voice/dubbed dialog. Also, really liked the characters. Season 2 should be more about the games cause main guy is definitely going back in.

Charlie is the Show!
7 July 2021
Loved this show through Season 8. Charlie is the show, the rest are meh. The writers beat the storyline to death for Alan and Jake and could have been better. The only other shout out goes to Berta!!!

5/10
X-men drama
30 March 2021
There was too much side drama in this show. Could have been better. I really enjoyed Thunderbird, Polaris, the three sisters, and Blink. Struckers got tiresome, same family drama crap repetitively over and over. Blah!

Good storyline
19 March 2021
Good storyline, terrible acting, and one thing is certain NO way a great hockey player from Canada is moving away from Canada. This part of the show makes no sense.

Don't get your hopes up
27 December 2020
The writing is not very good. In the first WW, the story flowed, had humor, and the story line was on point. 84 like other sequels was unfulfilling.

Good story
10 November 2020
Good story, action/shooting scenes need work. If there is a next season, which they set it up to be, shooting scenes need to be better.
