FUBAR (2023)
The Message seeps through
I really wanted to like this.. Managed to get to the end of the second episode but gave up! Love Arnie in most of his movies and thought even after the first episode it might be passible but the MESSAGE is all over this... All ethnics are here, the Afro-Americans, the gays, the Hispanics, the women and make sure that the old timer is of no use at all. The whiney daughter hypocrite is better at everything, and the man who has 40 years service is not good at his job and is constantly being upstaged by younger less experienced operative, especially the second episode. The women are better at everything than the men. Listen, I am all for inclusion and equality but please some sort of realism with me dinner.
Didn't bother after that.
Cunk on Earth (2022)
A Timeless Mystery
"Insanity has limits but stupidity has none", Elbert Hubbard
My favourite Open Univeristy educational presenter brings us more wisdom from the ages. More of the great programming coming from the UK's BBC, which means good writing, production, and expertly delivered by one of my favourite performers, Diane Morgan. She such a distinguished dead pan delivery that i believe is now cornerstone of her acting skillset. And some of the contributors and experts leave me in stitches, especially the ones who don't really know or heard of Cunk, but the longer Cunk is on the prowl, the more awareness of the parody become clear. Most of the experts know what is going on by now. And fair play to the writers and shows creator Charlie Brooker for still surprising the experts with their intriguing questions.
If you have only come across this show, and get a giggle from this type of humour, I highly recommend going and watching the other TV shows "Cunk On ...".
Reboot (2022)
So far SOO good!!
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how well this show is. Good writing, decent jokes and the actors are doing a great job. Normally I hate most American made sit coms/comedies, as they are mostly hammy and working with a tired framework, but there is a freshness about this. There is no laugh track to this, which I think is great and the fact your not told when laugh
Of each episode I have had at least two or three laugh out loud moments, and one or two chuckles, which is another big positive.
I have only seen three episodes so far but the characters and dialogue, and writing are done well..I really hope it keeps it up.
Maniac (2018)
Unknown
This is my first ever review and feel really compelled to do so.
When I first started watching this series, I was completely mystified, but could do nothing but keep watching. Jonah Hill. Whom I have never rated as an actor, he's a Seth Rogan, but what kept me watching was his performance, exceptional in my opinion, I was like 5 episodes in and was still lost as to what the hell was going on here, but between Jonah and the retro cinematic style, with the 80's references and music, I kept with it. Slowly but surely it was dawning on me that this is one of the most underrated shows out there. I like unconventional stuff and this definitely fits the bill, if anyone wants to see somethin that's not to the nnorm, this is a show for you.
I recommend that if anyone has any doubts, to keep with it till the end, as it is a beautiful and heart rendering story, well worth the confusion!
Thanks and enjoy!
