Alex Edelman: Just for Us (2024)
Painful and dull
I made it to the 20 minute mark and bailed. The guy is just not funny. Talks fast and says nothing. His bits are long-winded with no pay off. Couldn't even muster a smirk. Don't waste your time. Probably the worst comedian I've seen in a long time. No cringe for cringe's sake just unfunny. Pretty sure this guy has got a relative who helped him out. THere's no way he could've gotten a show on his own. Rambling about being jewish like anybody cares about that one way or the other. As neurotic as he was, Woody Allen was a funny stand-up. This guy is no woody allen, maybe wooden edelman would be more appropriate. Like watching paint dry.
Doom Patrol (2019)
If you like doom patrol lower your expectations
Why is Larry Trainer gay? I guess we have to be 'inclusive' these days I guess. Not that big of a deal but gotta make sure to change at least one of the characters to satisfy some 'underrepresented demographic' is getting old and irksome. In the comics he and Cliff were competing for Rita's attention. Also, Rita's powers were originally kind of a cross between Giant man and Reed Richards. In this show, she just loses all control of her body and becomes an amorphous blob. Negative man kind of had his own personality and wasn't just this electric charge that came out of Larry. Not sure, but they sure are making Doom Patrol look pretty pathetic and weak. On the plus side, I like what they are doing with Crazy Jane, Cliff and Mr. Nobody. I'll give it a bit more time to coalesce and develop. Certainly better than the hot mess that was Titans. I've seen better cosplay than what they threw out there with that. Not to mention the fundamental changes in the characters themselves. Hopefully, DP will stick a bit more to the original. People giving it more than 7 stars sure have low expectations for what they watch.
