61st Street (2022– )

Disappointing

[3/10 · 6 July 2022]

Started fairly well but got more ridiculous with each passing episode. Timelines were laughable. I half expected the judge to set aside the verdict, Franklin's cancer to miraculously go into remission and Moses to win the Olympic gold medal.

Only Murders in the Building (2021– )

Every little thing she does is tragic.

[6/10 · 11 December 2021]

Trying to be goofy with two wild and crazy guys, the show bogs down every time Selena Gomez is in the scene. Decent cameos and the Sting puns rock but I don't expect I'll be checking out season 2.

FBoy Island (2021–2023)

Big disappointment

[1/10 · 19 August 2021]

I was hoping this would be a satirical take on the reality dating show genre hilighted by Nikki Glaser's cutting humor BUT the whole series was one big joke. Boring Nikki. Everyone is in it for the camera time. Limbro and Nice guy villa were cringe worthy. Ditzy woman makes the smart choice. Corporate woman totally got what she deserved but shouldn't have got the money control. Drama queen picks a gay guy. Lame!

Fall River (2021)

What is this supposed to be?

[3/10 · 1 June 2021]

Production and narrative is all over the place. No one is believable. Might have been able to expose police mistakes and ineptitude but the series doesn't take that approach.

Big Sky: The Wolves Are Always Out for Blood (2021) Season 1, Episode 6

The turning point

[2/10 · 28 January 2021]

Wow did this show go from camp to crap fast. At this point I have no idea what it's supposed to be. I'm thinking one more episode will be enough for me to check drop it.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)

Not sure what to think.

[6/10 · 26 December 2020]

While I can't agree with the "best ever" crowd I certainly don't subscribe to horrible either. Something for everyone and that's what doesn't put it in the classic category for me. Like-able cast, like-able musical numbers, and like-able special effects just didn't add up to a love-it movie. Cut the flying scenes and love interest moments and it might have felt a little more focused.

1917 (2019)

I wish I had liked it more.

[6/10 · 26 December 2020]

Cinematography is a 10 but story is a 2. While visually stunning it's doesn't overcome the "Hollywood" plot.

Fargo (2014–2024)

Excellent BUT...

[8/10 · 30 November 2020]

You have to stop at season 3. Season 4 Fargone. Gone is the quirkiness. Gone is the storytelling. Gone is the dark humor. I'm going to rewatch the movie to cleanse my memory of this ordeal.

The Way I See It (2020)

Bipartisan enjoyment.

[10/10 · 17 October 2020]

It's nice to revisit the days of "Presidential". Thank you Pete for sharing your gift.

Council of Dads: Stormy Weather (2020) Season 1, Episode 9

Yawn

[1/10 · 28 June 2020]

Couldn't the writers find some way to add some drama to this episode, maybe a cardiac event for Charlotte.

Space Force (2020–2022)

So wanted to like it.

[2/10 · 31 May 2020]

With a cast like that I was very hopeful but it never takes off. Called it quits after 2 episodes. I'll patiently wait for the return of Avenue Q on HBO.

Defending Jacob (2020)

Disappointing

[5/10 · 30 May 2020]

Yawn. Wanted to like it given the cast but there was no character chemistry. No suspense. Durable phone though!

Ready or Not (I) (2019)

Nope

[2/10 · 27 May 2020]

If it had been longer than 90 minutes I would have dropped the rating to one star. Bad should be short.

I Know This Much Is True (2020)

It's like watching a car wreck.

[4/10 · 26 May 2020]

Oh wait, that's episode 3. What episode will have suicide? Just too dark.

World on Fire (2019–2023)

Make up your mind.

[2/10 · 21 April 2020]

Had to quit the series. Is it a war drama or a soap opera? Can't have both in my opinion. Disappointing.

Sharp Objects (2018)

Two... for the episode I stopped watching.

[2/10 · 17 July 2018]

Yawn. I'm all for letting the story develop but I still have to something to keep me interested. 1 and a half episodes in and nothing.

Safe (2018)

Disapointing

[3/10 · 9 June 2018]

I could NEVER get past the fact that the primary murder scene was a deserted pool at a million dollar home in a gated community with 100 teens drinking and doing drugs at an unsupervised house party.

Patriots Day (2016)

Can't ignore the facts.

[2/10 · 20 May 2018]

I can't in good conscience rate it higher due to the fictional treatment.
