A Wilderness of Error (2020)
Hours wasted I can never get back
This was a go nowhere piece that just sensationalized the brutal murder of these poor victims. I am sorry I watched. It was a total waste of time, and I have lost respect for Morris who played me for a sucker in some sort of P.T. Barnum side show. it also reflects very poorly on FX.
In the Dark (2019)
It grew on me
I was unsure about this show in season 1, but now at the end of season 2, I am very impressed by the ensemble acting of a cast I want to see more of. The plot has taken some ridiculous turns, especially at the end of season 1 and beginning of season 2, but somehow I kept watching. Now I am glad as my patience is starting to pay off. I am now charmed by this unusual series, and I love the cast. They are all good, and the chemistry is just the right mix, I recommend that a viewer try to stay patient and follow these poor folks wherever they are led. It is worthwhile to see how this plot is playing out. The only thing I still hate are the disruptive music tracks. As an editing cheat to get from scene to scene, the music for the most part really brings down the stories and I wish they would try a different editing technique. Once in a while the music works, but too often not.
The Good Fight (2017)
Season 3 is a viewer roadblock that will turn viewers away
Seasons 1 and 2 were great, but season 3 is a real mess, mostly due to animations and Roland Blum character. The show seems to have spun out of the writers' control. Not only is Blum a horrible factor who makes the show so unpleasant that I do not want to continue watching, but the silly animations telling us what we already know seem like they are included so the writers can take a vacation from having to write a real script.
The sidelining of the Maia character really weakens the show, and one axe throwing scene might have worked, but the repetition is grating. Since I am already suffering from All Trump All the Time torture, I really don't want more of him on a tv channel I pay for! Please stop! If there is a season 4, please cut out Blum, animations, and so much Trump. I hate him too, so I come to television to get away from him. The top actors are being wasted here. Get back to real stories, please! Season 3 was so bad that I am considering canceling CBS All Access. I love the leading cast: please write better scripts for those wonderful actors.
