House of the Dragon (2022– )

Wokeness?

[2/10 · 27 September 2022]

I have an honest question. First off I did not read the books but I did watch and enjoy GOT, my question is were the black characters in HOTD also in the books or were these injected into the script for the sake of wokeness? Aside from that this can not compare to GOT, this series is leaning very much towards soap opera.

If I'm wrong so be it but wokeness is ruining so many movies and television shows these says I would hate to think this series is another casualty. When books that are much loved are fundamentally changed to suit an agenda we as a society have lost the plot and we are already spiraling down the drain.

Our Father (III) (2022)

Much to do about nothing

[2/10 · 21 September 2022]

The girl that first uncovered this needed more in her life than this. She was obsessed with being born through a donor which her mom requested. So what if the donor was this doctor rather than some stranger who's history may have never known.

It's almost as if she is mad for being born and would only be happy if her life could be undone. She was hell bent on destroying the man who gave her life and she never cared about her "siblings" lives who were turned upside down with this information all because she now had a new hobby as a junior FBI agent. What will girl do with herself after the story concludes? Who's life will she attempt to destroy next?

Billions (2016–2023)

I used to love this show

[5/10 · 3 March 2022]

This show was excellent however with this latest season, 2022 the show has taken a back seat to pushing a woke agenda. It's a shame that indoctrination has taken over for putting out the best product possible.

Antiques Road Trip (2010– )

Very enjoyable

[8/10 · 1 April 2021]

I enjoy this show very much with one exception, Anita, she believes the show is all about buying as cheaply as possible and wants to win at any cost.

The Social Dilemma (2020)

Wake up call for parents

[10/10 · 20 October 2020]

If give your children unfettered access to social media you are no better than the parent that would give their children meth, crack heroin ... They all steal you genuine life for monetary gain.

I see Facebook has turned their A.I. loose in the comments section. Don't believe all,of the very low reviews.

365 Days (2020)

Don't be swayed by the #metoo reviews on here.

[10/10 · 2 July 2020]

I found this movie very entertaining and the scenes in Italy beautifully shot.

The #metoo folks have jumped on the bandwagon to try and destroy this movie because it's a little steamy. Think for yourself and give this movie a look.

My Spy (2020)

Terrible

[1/10 · 6 May 2020]

Where did they get this kid actor? She must know someone connected to this movie because she sure can't act.

The Rockford Files (1974–1980)

Rockfish

[10/10 · 22 December 2019]

If I had to pick the best TV show of all time for me it's The Rockford Files. I watched these episodes when originally aired and I've seen them all 2 or 3 more times since.

The Mandalorian (2019– )

A 30 minute episode?

[1/10 · 16 November 2019]

First episode 40 minutes and now the second episode only 30 minutes? Glad I'm keeping my $6.99

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

Loved it.

[10/10 · 13 August 2019]

Thank you Mr. Tarantino. I loved every minute of this movie. It's so great to find a gem like this among all of the shìt movies being made. Thank you thank you.

The Sisters Brothers (2018)

John C. Reilly? Ugh.

[6/10 · 14 September 2018]

I know Reilly bought the rights to the book so there was no choice about him being in the move but a really good story can be ruined with miscasting and I'm afraid that's the case here.

I'm Dying Up Here (2017–2018)

I love this show.

[10/10 · 4 September 2018]

This show, I'm Dying Up Here, is pitch perfect. The writing, the acting, the character development and the music are all perfect, plus if you are a fan of Stand Up Comedy this is to not be missed. I really hope this show goes for at least 10 seasons. Not to repeat myself but the casting for this series is right on the money perfect.

Rough Cut Woodworking with Tommy Mac (2010– )

Carpenter?

[2/10 · 31 March 2018]

Who gave this idiot a woodworking show? He barley qualifies as a laborer. Of all the shows out there on woodworking and home repair Tommy has to be the least qualified I've ever seen with a show.
