Halo (2022– )

Starts Slow but takes off

[8/10 · 11 March 2024]

I would say that the first 4 episodes of season one were not to good. But the second half and into season two have been like a different show.. it has been great action and a story that is totally tying together. Season one, in the beginning, it felt like I had no idea what was going on. It was one of those shows that immerse the viewer into a world that that is assumed they know. Many shows are like this and it's a complete turn off and many don't make it.

Halo takes off once the while Kwan story is passed and focuses more on Master Chief and the reason we're watching. She does come back but ties in story of season two.

Sexy Beast (2024– )

Why the negative? Pretty good so far

[8/10 · 1 February 2024]

Only watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good. Typical Guy Ritchie English movie made into a show. Little thinking, funny, serious, straightforward fun. Also, decent acting especially the main actors and actresses. Not every show needs to be a drawn out drama in my opinion. Sometimes we just need to be old school entertained like this. Only draw back is you have to leave the closed caption on sometimes to understand what is being said. I love the twists and turns of the show and the way it all blends together. Whether it copies old ideas, honestly who really cares. Not much is original anymore but its more of how its presented.

The Silence (II) (2019)

Good but rushed

[6/10 · 31 December 2023]

I thought it was good but rushed. Was better off a limited series. It felt like everything was crammed into a less than 2 hour movie. It went from beasts killing everyone in a few days to a group of people wantong others to join because the daughter was fertile. It was literally a fee days. Even the walking dead dragged it on in time. Overall acting was good but daughter being deaf was unnecessary really and led to noticing several times her answering without looking at who was talking . Yes watch the car scene, she answers the mother without looking up.

I will say what I found the most stupid is when the family was threatened, all Tucci had to do was throw a log or something at the other group and it would have been killed by the vesps. It was obvious.

Very Scary People (2019– )

Why do the narrators continually change-Annoying

[5/10 · 17 May 2023]

I wish the director or writer would see this review. Not a bad show but what is with the narrators reading a few lines then changing to another narrator. Once you notice this, you cant stop and it becomes almost unwatchable. Literally one person will talk for a few sentences then the next person will finish the tought or fact.

Other than that most annoying feature, it is an interesting show and pretty informative. Up until the 90's serial killers ran rampant due to the lack of dna analysis and quality cameras. Very sad the amount of lives lost to these animals that preyed on anyone they could find.

American Horror Story: Requiem 1981/1987: Part 2 (2022) Season 11, Episode 10

Not the right platform-terrible unwatchable at points

[1/10 · 3 February 2023]

I've lost faith in Murphy and this show. The first half of Last season was great and the first half of this was maybe a 3. Other than that it has been completely terrible in all aspects. Serial killer in the village to the Aids crisis. Completely no sense at all. I forwarded through the last 3 episodes stopping when I saw the leather guy hoping for something .

Notice how most of the original cast has left the shows. Its down to 3 reoccurring actors and actresses.

This is a horror show not a documentary on Aids and the effect on the gay community. We get it, it was tragic in every way. Pick one seriously and dont force it.

The Sandman (2022– )

Very good at times, but could have excelled

[5/10 · 11 August 2022]

Sandman is like a rollercoaster. Started out very good then fell off, adding a few memorable episodes . Episode 6 comes to mind as the best of the bunch and showed what it could have been. One thing I will say that was a complete turnoff, and dont take this the wrong way, but why all the LBGQT in every aspect of the show. It seemed so forced into the show that it made it feel bizarre. I mean at one point in an episode. Married couple was mixed race, waitress and customer were lesbian and cook was gay. Oh and husband of married couple was with cook also. That was all that were in the restaurant. Just seemed so forced. And Constantine is lesbian and the man that imprisoned him was gay.

The Batman (2022)

Excellent all around

[9/10 · 23 April 2022]

Very surprised. Honestly great story , unbelievable acting by Patterson and the leads. All I can say is its more a horror thriller , detective movie then a superhero film. Which worked great! Really hope there is a part 2.

Moonfall (2022)

Entertaining at times but overall terrible

[5/10 · 23 April 2022]

I dont mind far fetched and unrealistic action but this was beyond. And the worse part was it had a serious tone. If it was a comedy it would have been better with the far reaching action. There was also so many plot holes that at times the situations made little sense.

Why wouldn't the entity just destroy the earth first then work on destroying the moon? If the earth was destroyed the moon wood lose orbit itself.

They shut the electronics down in the shuttle. What about the life support systems. How do they run?

The son gets thrown about 100 feet and hit by a tree. Only to find himself under it. No injuries lol And I mean a tree not a branch.

The Last Kingdom (2015–2022)

Very Underrated

[9/10 · 30 March 2022]

Excellent series, great ending and finale. Dreymon was awesome throughout and deserves more roles. All the supporting cast were amazing and grew with the show. I think I'll hear" Destiny is All" for a really long time.

Black Crab (2022)

Worth a watch. Not as bad as reviews

[6/10 · 30 March 2022]

Really a decent movie. Has its good moments but could have been a lot more. Lost potential. They should have expanded the characters a little more, especially the Lt who was surprisingly a decent actor and role.

Ted Lasso (2020–2023)

Surprisingly Great Show

[9/10 · 14 December 2021]

Not sure why anyone would give any negative reviews on Lasso. It has a little bit of everything and is not a total comedy show. It is a healthy mix of comedy and drama and dealing with others. So anyone saying it is not funny is missing the total premise of the show. Lasso is also a lesson on leadership and what it takes to deal with others in tough situations. Give it a chance trust me . You'll binge watch until there are no more episodes left .

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Great movie

[9/10 · 26 November 2021]

I thought it was a great hero movie. It developed the character as well as others and felt like the story was complete. This story was over and now it's time for the next.

The Many Saints of Newark (2021)

Terrible

[1/10 · 4 October 2021]

What was this even about ? I thought it was about young Tony and how he grew to be the boss he became. Honestly this was the best they could do, racial tensions and scattered characters. Dont waste your time.

The Sinner (2017–2021)

Season 1 and 2 a 8, season 3 is pretty bad

[8/10 · 2 June 2021]

I have to agree with the reviews. Season 3 is pretty bad. Writing, acting, just the whole concept. Season 1 and 2 had twists until the end and made you want to binge watch to see. I found myself watching 3 just to have it end. They even made Pullman's character an after thought. I mean your a detective in NY state and you follow a possible killer to the city. You know he killed someone there but dont call the NYPD to tell them. And the killer works in the city. I mean even if you dont work in law enforcement you know better. And the reasoning- because you dont want to blow the case in your town. So far fetched that its dumb.

Shot Caller (2017)

Only Bad Thing is the Title

[8/10 · 3 April 2021]

Pleasantly surprised, very good acting and kept my interest throughout. Highly recommend watching. I know I'm missing something but the title does not do it justice. So many better titles I could create but then that would give away the movie.

The Wrong Missy (2020)

Pretty Funny Movie

[7/10 · 14 February 2021]

Was actually entertaining and some really laugh out loud moments. Kind of takes you by surprise, its better than you think.

The King (I) (2019)

EXCELLENT!

[9/10 · 5 January 2020]

Whether it was historically accurate or not, this was an excellent movie with great acting. The battle scenes were realistic and the story flowed well. I wish it was a series it was that good .

The Witcher (2019– )

Sorry it was maybe OK

[5 January 2020]

It just felt like so much was forced and if you never read or was aware of the Witcher comics then you were on your own. Maybe next season will be better

Dracula (2020)

Very Good then Terrible!

[6/10 · 5 January 2020]

First two episodes were excellent. Great acting and story. Then came episode three. At first I didn't know what to make of the time jump. Was alright to start until it went kind of sideways. Needless characters, no explanation for some of them. Even the fact that a lawyer appeared out of nowhere and had Dracula freed was bad writing. I found myself struggling and watching the clock hoping it would end. In my opinion, the first episode should have been stretched to two and the second episode could have been the end.

Jack Ryan (2018–2023)

Very Good Show

[9/10 · 5 September 2018]

I don't understand all tbe negative comments. It's not perfect. Maybe a little predictable or not Jack Ryan accurate, but a very good story, good acting and a lot of action. Wish the season was longer.
