Only Murders in the Building (2021)
Funny, a little repetitive, some very bad acting
Funny, campy and weird. An easy to watch crime comedy that takes you all over New York and keeps you guessing. It's well produced and has a decent cast.
The jokes can get a little repetitive and forced; especially the ones about age and Charles' (Brazo) 'bad acting'.
Something that cannot be ignored though is Selena Gomez's acting. Emotionless and wooden when she speaks, almost not even opening her mouth to deliver the lines. It's very distracting. I don't understand why they could not have found someone else for that role.
Still looking forward to Season 2 though and I heard there may be a season 3 in the works.
Luck (2022)
Missing the Pixar magic
The animation quality is good, but everything else about Luck seems forced and falls flat. The script for the main character especially is so dry.
Other animated films such as Coco and Encanto have a certain flow. Even though the world is 'magical', things that happen make sense and keeps you engaged, whereas Luck has none of that. Too much happens at once and is not explained well. Feels like they took elements from other films (Shrek, Minions, Zootopia etc) and thought it would work.
You'll also get sick of the word 'Luck' about 15 minutes in.
Very average first attempt from Apple.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Season 3 Borderline Unwatchable
This show was great Season 1 okay through Season 2, but S3...wow. The only redeeming factor is the soundtrack. (Minus the ridiculous Footloose scene, which may have been funny if it didn't go on for so long)
Acting is poor, a lot of the SFX are poor. The Vanya/Victor transformation was completely unnecessary and messy. They're trying too hard to make Klaus their Cpt Jack Sparrow. They made everyone else in the family act dumb.
My verdict is don't bother wasting your time.
