I Care a Lot (2020)
Best part was the end
Movies can get away with the villain getting off easy if done right, but this was not done right at all. J Blakeson, your movie was a pile of crap. The best parts were watching the villains ALMOST get ended; thinking FINALLY somebody is putting an end to these monsters, but somehow they survive and still decide to go after the only good guys and win. Unrealistic is one word for it, but for sake of drama, people don't like watching 3/4 of unsympathetic villains (the two women, a judge and a care facility head) get away with it. Would have been much better to see the suffering they caused come back to end them in the same way. Instead we get a bullet to the chest for only 1 of them, and the poor guy that kills her doesn't even get away so you have some satisfaction.
It's a villains love story, rating this anything above a 3 would be telling.
Inventing Anna (2022)
Shocker
It doesn't mean to, but it self reports in itself and shows how women can get away with just about anything if we look the part and bat our lashes. What I found humorous was how they still tried to make it a man's fault every chance they got, as if the snake of this story was never Anna all long. I still gave this 2 stars because the actors aren't to blame for the bad writing. Her bad accent didn't really bug me.
Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018)
Chilly
Sure does get crazy.
"He said it was black people, jumped him and put the collar around his neck. He never said who it was... you know in your heart there's probably not a black person involved in it, but that's what they're gonna say" -Lamont King
Even the State Troopers give this docuseries an icy chill of more injustices in the PA system.
Citizen Rose (2018)
No
She lacks any form of personal responsibility.
I don't understand the appeal of wallowing in self pity so I couldn't get into watching her do it. If you like watching people call themselves victims and blame everybody but themselves this is the series for you.
Peacemaker (2022)
What is it?
Was this an attempt to be a version of Amazons The Boys, but with CommieCena and way worse writing? No thanks, not good enough to keep watching past the first.
Into the Badlands (2015)
Was the last season a joke?
All the good this show had going for it got lost in the end. The last season was a perfect example of writers giving up. Pilgrim got his butt kicked by a guy with no powers, but we are suppose to believe he walks into the monastery and beats the monk (the most powerful 'dark one')?
Just a mess of a last season.
The Great North (2021)
It has potential
Well it's not quite as good as Bobs, but it's still a heck of a lot better than Central Park.
The voice cast alone makes it worth a few episodes.
Side splitting it is not, but has potential to get better once they find their rhythm and what they want to do with it.
Central Park (2020)
Bobs is better
Looked good, tried watching, couldn't make it past the first couple episodes (I give everything a minimum 2 episode chance before tossing).
Gad ruined it. He isn't just a random minor character, he pops up to annoy you every chance he gets. Simply ruins what could have been at least comparable to Bobs.
If you like the thing that is josh gad you might like it, but if you're sick of hearing his whiny voice, don't subject yourself to this.
Hannibal (2013)
Everybody's a complete idiot
(Half way through S2 and will change my review if warranted)
Everybody around Hannibal is a moron. Those that two brain cells to rub together end up dead. 90% of this show isn't remotely plausible which just ruins the whole thing when you're constantly going "huh?" He got a tree to grow in the middle of a parking lot AND with a body entangled in it? Apparently Hannibal has super powers now? Not a show worth watching if you liked the Hannibal movies.
I give it any stars because the actors were good.
Jo Brand's Cats & Kittens (2016)
Ignore abuse? Or incompetent?
The show ignores abuse. They not only ignore that somebody broke the cats legs, but return it to the home where it happened.
That killed the show for me. Either they choose to ignore the abuse for views, or they have incompetent veterinarians over there.
