Paratiisi (2020)
Could have been so much better
This series had/has potential. Sadly, I found it to be mediocre at best. After watching the first season, I can see a very interesting story line. But the writing is so bad that it ruins everything. Cliche quips. Overused Hollywood phrases. It just kind of ruined what had potential to be a very good show. I see there is a season 2. I'll try the first episode. But if it's the same trite dialogue, I'm out. Actors are very good. With a couple of exceptions. Such as the young, Spanish, female, temporary partner of the male cop. Story line with her jealousy is such bad writing. And her acting doesn't help. Hopefully season 2 does better, overall!
Bosch: Legacy (2022)
HOW IS THIS RATED SO HIGH?
I Loved the original BOSCH series. This new one is so bad. So many cheesy catch phrases, more cheesy, over-used movie and tv story lines, character arcs and some very BAD acting. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of Titus (Bosch actor). He is so good in everything. Mimi Rogers is so bad in this series that it is shocking considering her resume. The actress who plays the daughter is one dimensional and stiff. They really should have left the original series end with no "reboot". Titus Welliver is a great actor. Get him a new series ASAP. But this mess has to go. I have no idea how a second season is coming.
Gutsy (2022)
Ignore negative reviews!!!!
Please ignore the negative reviews. Watch a few episodes. I binge watched all the shows. At the end I felt something I haven't felt in YEARS. HOPE!!! Yes, there are celebrities that are a tad annoying. But they are also a tad inspiring. The MOST inspiring are the non-famous, REAL women! Non-celebrity women that fought for everything they have! They are still forging ahead but also listening to the younger generations. I think Chelsea and Hillary did an amazing job with their research and interviews. I enjoyed every second of this series! Thank you to Chelsea, Hillary and all the women who have and are fighting for equality and fairness!
Królowa (2022)
Sweet, but a total rip off of SO MANY MOVIES
Total rip off of Kinky Boots, The Birdcage, which is the American version of La Cage aux Folles, Priscilla, Queen of the dessert and so many more. Sure, it's a feel good show. But the lack of literally ANYTHING original is why I am only giving 6 stars. The acting is ok. The main star is good. But they really could have tried a bit harder to be original.
God's Favorite Idiot (2022)
I ADORE Melissa McCarthy, but...
This show is just bad. I mean really, really bad. Her husband can't act, the supporting actors are pointless and seem to be there to try and add humor, but it fails miserably. The whole show is a mess. I gave it 3 stars because I will always adore Melissa McCarthy. Her husband may be super nice and a moderately good writer, but Melissa is so much better than this. Just an embarrassment.
Reacher (2022)
How is this rated so high?
The writing and acting is so bad that I truly thought this show was trying to parody bad 80s cop movies/shows. Holy crap is this show bad! Those that rated this over a 2 must be watching a different show. Trust me when I say this is horifically yet comically BAD.
Lisey's Story (2021)
OH. MY. GOD.
I simply can not believe that the well known actors and actresses with many wonderful credits and achievements to their name participated in this complete horror of a series. The writing is horrific. The story line...horrific (and not in a good way). The ACTING??? An absolute, bloody nightmare. This is so bad that the genre of "horror" has way more meaning. Yikes!
The Equalizer (2021)
LOVE Queen Latifa! She's better than this.
There are so many bad things about this show. Bad editing, writing, plot lines, supporting characters...the list goes on. Queen Latifa is awesome. She is much better than this show. Makes me sad to leave a bad review of something she's involved with, but it's all true. The show barely has any similarities to the movies, which makes it that much harder to wrap my head around. Sorry, Queen. But after 5 shows, I'm tapping out.
White House Farm (2020)
Very biased and doesn't match evidence in last 10 years
This show is unbelieveably biased. You can google the incident and find that new evidence presented over the last 10 years throws so much of the "true story" out the window. I would swear this was an American show. And I'm American. Totally based on "facts" from 35 years ago. They never bothered to enter in the new evidence when DNA etc became important.
Bir Baskadir (2020)
Beyond borders of entertainment and education of culture.
I have absolutely no idea how this show got the rating it has. I love Turkish shows. This was so painfully slow, overacted and cliché. I got to episode 5 and had to call it quits. Glad others enjoyed it. I found it tedious, trite and infuriating, at times.
Homecoming (2018)
Second season is bad, sadly.
I LOVE Janelle Monáe! I love everything she does. I loved the 1st season of this show. This 2nd season is just bad. It's patchy, the writing is bad. It is confusing and NEVER seems like it's going anywhere. And when it finally does get somewhere, it's a complete let down. Sorry Janelle. You are fabulous. This season is not!
Home Before Dark (2020)
Writing is bad. The story and actors try hard make up for it.
The writing is truly horrible. Very poorly put together and scripted. The actors do their best to compensate and somehow manage to put together a mediocre show. It is truly mediocre at best.
Cardinal (2017)
Predictable, moderate entertainment
If you are out of choices on all of the streaming plans, then sure...give this one a try. I am so bored and ill that I actually watched 3 seasons. It is so predictable that it almost painful. But if you're sick, have a few days and desperate...go for it. It's not horrific.
I Am Not Okay with This (2020)
A supernatural version of The Breakfast Club
Truly a montage of John Hughes movies. Writing was slow and poorly done. Rip off of 80s teen films with a supernatural addition.
Atiye (2019)
So very bad.
This story line had so much potential. Very interesting. The acting is absolutely horrific. The lead actors seem as if they have ZERO interest in this series. They all seem as though they are too exhausted and bored to be bothered putting forth any effort. Maybe it's because the writing is also very bad. I gave it 2 stars solely for the intriguing plot and amazing views. Such a shame. Could have been an excellent show if the ENTIRE cast and crew were better and actually gave a damn.
Unité 42 (2017)
Tries too hard to be an American "cop" show
As an American, I watch and enjoy other serious and crime related tv shows from other cultures and countries to SPECIFICALLY get away from the inane USA, crappy, melodramatic, repetitive cop show. I had high hopes for this French series, as I have loved many others. This is a HARD no from me. It is over-acted, over-dramatized, missing critical plot points and simply just another, crappy French , but at it's heart, a USA "cop" show.
True Detective (2014)
WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY SAYING???
OMG. Season 3 is just mumbling, oddness. ***SPOILER ALERT*** In episode 4, the part where the detective is old and having a breakdown involving Vietnam war hallucinations??? I LITERALLY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD OF THAT ENTIRE SCENE!!! This series is steadily going down hill. The acting is better in season 3 than in season 2. But the story line and writing is so bad, it's gobstopping. I feel badly for the actors starring in it. Because they are actually the ONLY reason why I am giving this 4 stars.
The Romanoffs (2018)
The worst show I have ever seen
This is beyond pathetic. Acting is horrific. Story line is absurd, insulting and predictable. Absolute crap!!
