Meet Marry Murder (2020– )

Good stories but the editing is horrible

[5/10 · 18 March 2024]

I love true crime shows, so I was excited to start this series. I do like how they make awareness of domestic abuse for both men and women. The stories themselves are pretty interesting and intriguing. The narrator has a good voice and there's a good mix of British and American stories. The thing is, all of the "experts" are annoying. The editing job makes them look bad. They repeat themselves over and over again. Why do we need to hear from a criminologist and journalist talk about the same thing over and over again? It also doesn't help that the same experts are in every episode and they talk like they know the people intimately when in reality they're probably just reading cue cards.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023– )

The main character is annoying

[4/10 · 25 December 2023]

I don't know how to explain it, but the main woman character is beyond annoying. She stops in traffic at the airport, streets just to have realizations. She has no empathy for anyone. She has ptsd but it's so hard to feel anything for her. I know she's the main character but she has main-character syndrome. Also, her and her half brother sometimes give off weird Folgers coffee incest vibes. And again, can we talk about the fact she doesn't care about anyone? She always hangs up on her mom and it's obvious her mom is distraught and wants answers. I want to like this show but the writing is just awful.

The Changeling (2023– )

Wut

[2/10 · 26 September 2023]

I really wanted to like this show because the cast is amazing. But it's a dumpster fire. They try to be too clever for their own good and there are so many plot holes. It's a muddled mess.for example, is it a story about witches or post partum depression? Who funds this weird feminist community off NYC? Why did they separate and the wife goes off to Brazil? Why is the narrator speaking Swahili??? It's all a mess. I'm grasping at straws but this show might be a lost cause. Maybe it'll make sense later but 5 episodes in and I'm like "wut" should give anyone some doubt. Would not recommend and I'm surprised they got funding from Apple.

Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars (2023– )

Worst Gordon Show

[1/10 · 20 August 2023]

It's clear this was just about marketing and sales. I get that. What I don't get is how Caroline D'Amore made it so far. She threw everyone under the bus the moment she didn't like it her way. I don't understand why no one made it a point how toxic she was. And it wasn't a bad edit. Her sauce isn't made at home. She pays a processing plant. Go back to Malibu, Caroline D'Amore. I will never buy your sad sauce or your sad frozen pizzas. It should've been Fat Miilk. Fat Miilk was all about culture and sustainability with coffee, but no. I will not be watching anymore Gordon shows after this. It was sad.

If We Built It Today (2019– )

It's all about Italy

[1/10 · 18 March 2023]

I wanted to give this show a chance because I love architecture and history, but it's so biased. Every other episode is something related to Italy. Maybe there are more episodes that include Aztec/Mayan architecture. It doesn't sway me enough to keep watching. The aqueduct episode annoyed me because one of the guests said art is useless and only the Romans built useful things. Also, what's with the wall episode??? They kept it as "some people may not agree." Yeah, go ahead and build the wall and imagine there's going to be a huge concert turnout celebrating on the 4th of July. That with the Noah's arc episode makes me think the white Christian producers can't read the room. Some of the experts say it best, "what would be the point?" Don't waste your time on this show.
