Doctor Who (2023)
Terrible
I am a huge Dr Who fan and hoped that with the brief return of David Tennant that the show would become what it once was. It has slowly gone down hill for years and Jodi's run was just terrible and destroyed its own lore. I don't blame Jodi for the show's failure it is the failure of the writers. With this new series i can honestly say i don't know what this is but it sure as hell isn't Dr Who. This show has gotten even worse and this time it is everything from the writing to the acting this is some of the worst dr who i have ever seen. It has officially made me no longer want to watch something i loved so much before. They have lost audience with every episode and this will be one of the worst rated and viewed seasons in the shows history. Bring back good writing.
Matt Rife: Natural Selection (2023)
It was average
I've seen some of his stuff on social media and found him to be funny from the small clips i have seen so i figured i would give him a shot. I did laugh at some of the jokes in the special and it does get better as the show goes on but for the most part the stand up was rather average and hit or miss with what i found to be funny but for the most part like tripping over a 10" tall Jansport backpack it fell rather flat for me. I actually find the backlash to the show funnier than the actual special itself as people being offended by his first joke while ignoring his comments about cancel culture and how it won't affect him at the end of his special.
Convicting a Murderer (2023)
Interesting.
Small spoiler of episode 4. I find it interesting people are complaining about the show because the first three episodes are rehashing what occurred leading up to the trial and about the man's character. This docu series isn't really focused on this man is guilty as much as it is here is what Netflix presented and how what they presented isn't the entire story. For example Netflix edited audio footage of a phone call made between police suggesting that Avery was the only suspect like the police were after him. In episode 4 they play the audio in full. Netflix audio was "He wants us to go back over and reinterview Avery again." The full audio was "He wants us to go back over and reinterview Avery and Zipperer again. Okay. Yeah Zipperer's not going to be real happy." And there is other things that Netflix blew past or edited to fit the narrative they wanted to portray. Its very interesting. When they do side by side comparisons of what Netflix shows and the real audio including things like cutting out key information that provides context to a statement made just to make it look like Avery was targeted by police and is innocent. I would also state he may be innocent i don't know this is the first i have ever even heard about this case ive never seen the Netflix show (but im going to after i finish this series) im not here to pass judgment on the guy i just find the Netflix manipulation fascinating.
