Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Really curious about what's next
And that's actually a lot of praise in modern tv-land. Of course it has enough episodes left to go downhill fast, but the cast is working wonderfully. Only casting miss is, as more often than not, Melissa McCarthy, who people should stop taking seriously as an actress. She just is not, certainly not in contrast to the rest of the cast. She is detracting from the tension in every scene she's in.
Fargo (2014)
I gave up halfway 4th season
It is very boring and all characaters are quirky for the sake of quirk only. Maybe season five will have more sense of purpose. If not, we had three excellent to average anthologies.
Fargo: The Land of Taking and Killing (2020)
Production value alone does not make a good series
PC, borderline pretentious and overall boring. I might try to binge it when the season is over. This is not something to look forward to all week. Everything and everybody is quirky, and ultimately unfunny. Fargo got woke, time to check out.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Ditching the sci for fi
Opens very strong, plateaus around ep 03, downhill from there. Remains entertaining, but biggest tell: it's all about religion. Brace for impact.
Raised by Wolves: Faces (2020)
Enter full descent
Will watch remaining episodes just to see if I'm right...
Treadstone (2019)
Stupid
All the money went into the visual production, and not the scripts. It looks OK, but a few episodes in, you should get the message: don't think while watching! Once the fighting ends, move on to the next scene. Dead henchmen and/or spies in the middle of Paris, but don't worry: just walk away, on to the next cliché.God forbid the protagonists would get in real trouble. That would require writers instead of stuntmen, and without stuntmen this thing collapses. So: more stuntmen! Crahes, explosions, gunfights, yeah!
Disenchantment (2018)
Not a Pass
Specifically unfunny. Rather slow as well. All jokes are recycled and/or explained on the spot. 4/10 for possible good intentions.
