Homestead Rescue (2016)
Nope!
I like Marty and his family but the show is quite silly. Each show is as follows.
Homeowner - I will not in a million years do xxxxx. Marty will then tell them what has to be done. Homeowner - never, ever. I refuse to do it. 4 minutes later they agree and then the real show begins. Marty, Misty and Matt are quite talented people and it can be entertaining but the ignorance of the people they are helping seems a little over the top. Basically every plan in the episode (3 to 4 ideas) the Raneys come up with is met with absolute negativity and defiance only to quickly acquiesce.
As a city slicker I know more than every one of these so called "homesteaders" and I would not be out there so why are they? Are they acting like they are super ignorant for the show? I cant stop thinking about that. I wish it was more genuine I guess. Give it a go and see if you like it, its not for me..
Gemini Man (2019)
Bored to tears
Terrible plot/writing and the CGI is just terrible. I have not seen it this bad before. Will Smith can act no doubt but he was hit in miss in this one - even if he performed flawlessly this film was doomed. It is an easy skip.
24 Hours in Police Custody (2014)
It is a pretty eye opening experience
I can say (no comment) after watching this show (no comment) that if you want to be a career criminal (no comment) that the best place to do it (no comment) would be in the UK.
Some of the (no comment) sentences given to pretty horrific crimes are (no comment) laughable at best. The show is extremely well done though and the officers are talented (no comment) but 80 percent of the interviews are filled with (no comment). It is definitely worth a watch - albeit a frustrating one.
As a career law enforcement official (no comment) I know that there are flaws, many flaws but after (no comment) many years of dealing with the US Justice system (no comment) I am a bit more thankful however both need fixing and it is depressing. A solid 7.5 for me.
Live PD (2016)
Terrible
Dan A is just not the right fit for this show. He is too dramatic over nothing. Also there are way too many commercials. It has been pretty lame but I am only 30 episodes in. Bored though..
The Hot Zone (2019)
Laughable
The unrealistic, silly drama just kills this show. I do not know why they viewing audience has to be treated like idiots . Its over the top with this show. Episode 2 the car travel whole thing just made me say oh no, here goes again. I could not recover. Made it to ep 3 and had to go it is just so silly. This gets renewed I will be shocked but then again its junk like this that always gets picked back up so?
Leila (2019)
Holy smokes
This has to be the dumbest show ever made. I liked the main character but it kept throwing me off with the lack of direction elsewhere. The setting, in the future, is terrible - still ugly over there ha. It is EXACTLY like the handmaids tale and that show was awful, this is worse.
Pass on this one
Delhi Crime (2019)
Wow
It is a little shocking to see such ineptitude "IF" this is based on fact, truth. Are/were the suspects truly that dumb? Did you do it? No - please tell me the truth. Okay yes I did it.. I know most of the true story but not the whole thing when it comes to the case and suspects so I was able to enjoy some of the episodes and seeing how it played out but I guess I am out of the loop on the culture. Stop or we will go tell your mom -- ok, sir I will wait and not run? Was she not going to find out anyhow if you were arrested?
Are the suspects really this dumb I kept asking myself. The police force would last all of 11 seconds where I am from but again maybe its how it is there. That said I really did like the female lead. She was tough and quite likeable. Most of the rest of the cast was in my opinion very poorly done and it also dragged out a few too many episodes. All in all I was stunned with the legal system and post show reading about the rampant crimes like this one in the show that is prevalent there. Tragic all around. The whole system there just might be too much for me to understand. I simply could not get past the high level of incompetence of some of it.
The Casketeers (2018)
I dig it
Never seen someone such a perfect fit for a job. Francis is a joy to watch as well as the other cast. I enjoyed the show. I have laughed and cried and the different culture is a nice thing to witness. I have seen personally in my life many different ceremonies and this show allowed me to see a new one.
Chernobyl (2019)
Good but
The accents just throw me off. It is funny to see this NOT commented on a lot for this show but every other show where "accents" are just not right they hammer it home. This show while nicely done is distracting to have english blokes named vasily and misha etc. Its too odd - cringy odd. It shows laziness. They said it was to have the actors focus on their role and not the voice acting lol. Come on...
I enjoyed the show but was forced to use an alternative language post and that improved it dramatically to a 5. Too many other issues as others have stated however the praise outshines it. Tis fine - we all cannot agree.
Good Girls (2018)
Started great then crashed
It was a great first season, well almost full first season. Near the end the writers imo were struggling. Season 2 is a disaster. All decisions are just idiotic. When the whole popsicle scene happened I was turned off for good. Its just so dumb. I know its not a realistic show but come on at least try to make it not so easy to see what is coming at every turn. The whole FBI guy thing is so badly done. I really wanted to like this show but this is a show where you have to turn your brain off and look at the pretty actors because the plot, writing is subpar - its dull.
Shazam! (2019)
Greatness.
I laughed, nearly cried and wanted more. Super film. I was worried this was going to be a snoozer since for the first 20 minutes or so it was a little slow if not boring but it picks up, big time. Give it a shot - well worth it
First time that I have ever wanted a sequel to a super hero movie. More please !
All American (2018)
10 ratings? Yeah, sure.
Forget the cast and crew reviews. Read them its beyond obvious how they are written they are fake.
This is literally cliche after cliche. They must have sat around and said. We do not need good acting or a half way decent script all we really need is tons of cliches to play out in order and we will have people hooked. Sadly, some possibly are however not I.
Terrible acting, terrible writing and in the first episode - actually half way through you can see who, what and where. Its predictable. Craziness. My two eldest Daughters (High School) laughed through 2 episodes and threw in the towel. No realism. If you are looking for possibly the "most attractive" cast ever in the history of tv then this show is for you. Not a single semi-unattractive person that I saw and surely not a soul who has finished a bag of Doritos in one sitting in their life. Avoid this.
Backfire (2017)
WOW just WOW
First of all any of the 10 ratings must be the mothers of the Actors.
This was dreadful. The acting, dialogue, the script, the way the actors even enter the scene is so poorly done. As soon as I saw the "nurse" which is about 10 minutes in I knew the entirety of the film and I was right - the sad part is I had to endure the worst movie of my life to satisfy my curiosity. I laughed so many times followed up seconds later by a cringe. So bad
Skip this and I promise you will thank me. If you do not you will ruin your day/night.

Madam Secretary (2014)
Was great but not any longer
Good show but now its too political. I have no idea how they allowed themselves to go down this road but its painful to watch. Leave the bashing at the door. Had decent writing but its an easy skip now. Political one sided bashing
Bumblebee (2018)
Anything over a 3 is from....
Anything over a 3 is from....
the cast, crew, family of the cast or crew or folks who simply did not watch the movie. I give it a two just because of the effects and the fact that the popcorn was awesome. There was no flow to this movie and the acting is laughable. After I ate my popcorn I left with about 20 minutes left. Not a soul was there but me. 11 people left, I guess they should have gotten the popcorn
Skip it
Mine (2016)
A cliche nightmare
The best part of the movie was when my pizza arrived. I could at least have a few beers and pizza while I started dozing off. This is a cliche nightmare. They took nearly all of them and put them in this dreadful film.
Awful - easy skip
Widows (2018)
You have seen this
Its been done hundreds of times. Back scenes, nonsense filler to a pointless story. The plot is just strange how it was drawn out in so many directions to miss its arrival. No reason in the world to watch this. Its obvious what is happening the entire film and the whole thing has been done to death. Why fix what aint broken I guess. People pay to go see the same tired thing - why change.
Avoid this even at the dollar theater if you still have one. Overpriced
Jonathan (2018)
I dig the main character, it stops there
Main character is a great actor and I enjoyed the first 30 minutes then it fell right off the cliff. I actually heard snoring :(
I appreciate what they were trying to do here but I think they over complicated it or lost their train of thought so they just said screw it, lets wing it, which they did and it failed.
Walk the dog, check the mail it would be a better use of your time.
Gotti (2018)
WOW. Just WOW
Directing - 0
Travolta acting - 0
This movie has 0 direction. If I were Travolta I would be ashamed of calling that acting. My kids high school drama class produces better actors many times over and these are not trained professionals - just kids.
I will be honest. I never watched Entourage so I am clueless who the director was until after I watched this film and looked him up. I can only say the guy needs to stick to acting (if he can act, again I have never heard of em) but he simply cannot direct. This film is not worth your time. Taking a nap would be a much better alternative.
Luther (2010)
Seasons 1-4...........
Seasons 1-4 are fantastic. Season 5 was a bad reach. So silly..... however I still recommend folks watch the first 4. Great stuff. I am not sure if they changed writers, directors, whatever they did it was so cookie cutter in 5.
Wildlife (2018)
2 stars just for the cast
Great cast. Terribly written and so slow it actually made 2 people fall asleep. I get what they were going for but they really missed the mark. It was a pretty annoying movie. A lot of hype for this film so I was happy to see it. When you see people leave mid way its a terrible sign
This is an easy skip..
Bad Blood (2017)
Poor execution and sub par acting
The writing is pretty poor but the acting (for more than a few) is just pathetic. It is chock full of cliche that you can see coming a mile away. They mixed so many things from the "great" mob shows/movies and threw them into three episodes.
The Son ruins the show. Come on folks write something original and can the idiot son and maybe the show can succeed.
The Resident (2018)
No really. Not worth it...
If you are in the field of course this is a no go show for you - heck I will say if you have ever walked down the aisle of a pharmacy to get some pain relievers this show makes you over qualified to watch.. It is laughable. There is nothing even remotely close to reality here to see.
Saw a review or two talking about how the show is trying to get you the viewer to see how bad the healthcare situation has gotten in terms of actual healthcare over profit but this is something that has been rampant for decades. Its nothing new. Nothing. How this show is being somewhat highly rated on that fact alone is a travesty the creators were not hoping would be the highlight but they better run with it. Its so over the top its all they have left. What is more sad is that it is the shows like this - poorly written and silly are those that get picked up for additional seasons - we are just not interested in good television or good acting anymore. Its a reality driven society. Move over Sopranos the Resident is coming for you
The Good Cop (2018)
quite possibly the worst series - ever
No idea where to start. I could call out the 100 inconsistencies just from the first 4 episodes but for what? This show is terrible. The writing is laughable and they try to make it so quirky is stupid. It makes no sense. As soon as I heard the water bottle part in episode one I knew I was in for a rough ride, I was correct.
You have to either be dead drunk or just shut the brain off for this to be even remotely worth watching. You know what will happen by the second scene in each episode so you just sit around watching them try to be quirky until the end which we all saw coming 40 minutes ago. The "escape" episode (3) was easily the dumbest thing I have ever seen in the history of television. Knowing it was a netflix show only makes this, make sense. They have fallen down the hill long ago. Absolutely dreadful show with a rating of 6 just scares me.
Mayans M.C. (2018)
2 eps and I had enough
Pretty much no likable characters. The show just has no flow to it. Its a mess. Of course it will never live up to the Sons but I was not really expecting it to be but I was expecting pretty decent writing to which there is none and decent acting - nope again.
I would be shocked to see this get a second season but then again the garbage that gets picked up it has a great chance. Its a predictable show so if that is your thing its a must see.
