Terrible... Just plain awfull
25 July 2022
Old Billy boy is getting progressively more and more unfunny as he gets older or the longer he stays married. Jimmy Carr was the only one that put a half-ass effort into this, everyone else including Bill Burr was beyond pathetic and unfunny.

Almost Human (2013–2014)

Squeaky clean, light network entertainment
27 December 2013
After 1st episode I was very excited about the show but that evaporated quickly.

It became painfully obvious this is not cable show but just another light network entertainment. There is no meta-plot, everything is clear cut good or bad, black and white. It is supposed to be dystopian future but everything is so clean, perfect, even "bad" neighborhoods. Government isn't even mentioned (like democracy is at optimum efficiency, no problems there whatsoever, go USA), corporations work for the benefit of the society, cops are the thin blue line that protect people from criminals... just really naive little kids show story setting.

And the plot is getting weaker and weaker, just dumb 1 episode long cop drama. No character development at all, things happen they shrug it off by the end of the episode and that's it, everything is fine and the same as it was no need to worry.

Si-Fi aspect turned into a gimmick that's getting really old really fast. Sometimes they obviously try to send "Bladerunner" vibe but it just feels forced and fake. It is as if "I, Robot" was trying to be cool like "Bladerunner" and failing miserably. Just whole android thing offers so much room for character development and exploration of social and ethical consequences of artificial life forms walking among us, but noooo they are there, no one cares, we're gonna do cop drama deal with it.

If this was cable show it could've been glorious, but it's not and now we have "Starsky and Hutch" in not so distant future.

Federal Protection (2002 TV Movie)
5/10
cliché but has its charm
5 January 2006
This movie is utter cliché, but also an example how one actor can make it worth watching.

Dina Meyer is completely carrying this movie. Even though she doesn't have leading role her scenes are only advantage of this film. Talented actress and stunning beauty. (man, did she look good in that latex dominatrix costume :) )

Sure Assante was cool as always but his scenes were kind of boring. But when story gave attention to Dina this movie was actually interesting.

Movie is complete no brainier, predictable as it can get, but has some charm and is fun watch if you don't expect too much, and especially if you're Dina Meyer fan!
