Outlander: The World Turned Upside Down (2022)
Suffering. Recycling. Tedium.
So much sickness, death, and suffering. Most of the main characters have been raped. Jamie was beaten and has beaten other people more times than I can remember. Now there's the twisted Malva story soon to be revealed.
Claire is accused of witchcraft yet again and there's another younger woman after Jamie. Claire tells her to stay away from her family and slaps her face, just like before.
There are many more examples of storylines getting recycled. My mind wanders while I watch the show and I check my phone frequently. It seems like the viewers who enjoy it now are the ones who read the books.
Outlander: Give Me Liberty (2022)
Is Lord John a vampire?
Outlander's characters lack of aging is distracting. They could have at least given Lord John a few strands of gray hair. He looks the same as he did 20+ years ago. Flora MacDonald didn't age either.
Outlander: Allegiance (2022)
Fergus and Marsali eew
That pre-birth sex scene was just gross. And to make it worse, they started in front of Claire and then were heard by others in the next room. I fast forwarded through most of it. What the heck were the writers thinking?
The Great British Bake Off (2010)
Great show, but stop the jokes about nuts and balls please.
I love this show but dislike some of the humor. The testicle jokes are childish. In many episodes, no one can say "nuts" or "balls" without Paul Hollywood smiling and the cohosts acting like they're in junior high.

Killing Eve (2018)
Great first season. Music has become annoying.
The first season was very good, overall. Seasons two and three, not so much. I'm almost finished Season 3 and am really irritated by the loud and frequent music. It plays whenever the characters stop speaking, between scene changes. I liked it at first, but now it's done too much and is obnoxious. The music is louder than the actors' voices, so I turn down the volume every time it comes on then turn it up when people begin speaking again.
I've been fast forwarding through the episodes of Season 3, mostly just watching Eve, Villanelle, Konstantin, and Irina.
8 stars for Season 1.
Outlander: Free Will (2020)
What was that?!
This episode gets just 1 star because there was nothing that I liked about it. The dialogue was boring. There seemed to be no point to the story. Other than to gross out the viewers and shock us (again) with how cruel human beings can be.
Outlander: Between Two Fires (2020)
Not a fan of the graphic violence or Murtagh
I'm giving this episode 5 stars for the parts with Claire. They were interesting and new. What happened to Murtagh?! It's hard to like or feel sympathy for someone involved in torturing and killing. He used to be one of my favorites.
About the graphic violence... My complaint is not that there was violence in this episode but that there was soooo much of it and it was so graphic. From the opening scene until the end. It doesn't matter that there were graphic scenes in season 1 or that there was and is violence in the world, as others have argued. I'm still bothered by it. It makes the show unenjoyable. Outlander can be good without filling episodes with brutality.
Gentleman Jack (2019)
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this show
I love Suranne Jones in this.... her walking, stomping, mannerisms, the way she flirts, her confidence. The dialogue, scenery, and costumes are well done.
Because of the way this season ended, I don't know how Season 2 could be as interesting. I'm looking forward to it though.
Bates Motel: Forever (2016)
Unpredictable. Fantastic.
This episode couldn't have been better. I had no idea Norma would be gone so soon. "Mr Sandman" playing as Norman slowly made his way around the house, closing the vents, was chilling. I can't believe this show isn't more popular.
