Presumed Innocent (2024– )
5/10
Prosecutors don't investigate
13 June 2024
Has no one here seen an episode of Law and Order? Police investigate the crimes not prosecutors. Police question witnesses not lawyers. The case is immediately given to Rusty, without any arrests. Police investigations can go on for years without an arrest and they are already assigning it for a trial in one day? The DAs office wouldn't get a case until they are convinced they have the right suspect. This show is having lawyers act like detectives. The creators of this show must now know how the US legal system works. Police investigate crime and DAs prosecute the offenders, they don't investigate. There is good drama, but skipping over major portions of the legal system is really irking me.

Good, but should have been a mini-series
24 February 2024
So I enjoyed this, but it was waay too long. 3 hours 30 minutes is way too long for a slow burn that isn't Gone with the Wind. This would have been better as a mini-series and maybe even fleshed out the story more. This is well done on most levels, but not Scorsese's best work. As a feature film it should have been about an hour shorter. I'd still recommend though. There was not enough of the motivations behind DeNiro's Hale or Leo's Ernest. I understood thy wanted the rights to the oil, but they didn't go beyond skin deep exposition and really not even that much. Lily Gladstone needed more to work with and feel the script couldn't have given her more as the talent is evident, but was let down by the material. I also feel the third act could have been much stronger, but not bad, but could have been better overall.

Super Pumped (2022– )
7/10
Great show, Horrible Title
14 March 2022
I am really liking the show, but is Larry Page really that weird? JGL is a great actor but I don't see Kalanick in him, he doesn't resemble him at all. Super Pumped sounds like a title you come up with in middle school, how about "Disruption"? Kalanick is a horrible person, how did they gorgeous women fall for a guy without a conscience? But, love the writing, and the acting for the most part. So if Kalanick doesn't write code, what exactly does he do?
