Manifest (2018)
Makes no sense
Watched the whole first season. Overly dramatic. Even for sci fi its theories and plot are far reaching. Basically it's like reading tea leaves the entire season. The last episode has so much drama packed into it I literally laughed most of the time. Can't take this show seriously. Wanted to like it. Interesting concept but executed poorly. First season told us absolutely nothing but only made things strange. Can't believe the same network that cancelled Timeless would approve this.
For the People (2018)
It's ok.
Interesting premise. Raises some relavent issues in the world today, but the prosecutors are always the "bad guys" and the the defense is always representing victims. It's not always like that in the real world. It wasn't until episode 8 when they get out of this image for a moment. Litigation contains a bunch of passive-aggressive sarcastic remarks, that I assume is supposed to build up
sexual tension, but is really just eye rolling and annoying. This "I'm so tough. I'm a lawyer. You better do as I say" cliche is really worn out. Also, a few of the actors are very boring. Unrealistic, but that's expected.
The Resident (2018)
Interesting but inaccurate
Interesting twist on taking on the corrupt side of medicine. But extremely inaccurate (even for a TV show) and a bit too dramatic. There's so much blackmail in this show you'll think you're watching a political drama.
Chicago Med (2015)
Terrible acting, no direction
Terrible acting, for example, someone goes into labor and she just flatly says "I'm going to have this baby." That's the attitude they stay in most of the time. That or yelling. Some plot lines just fall off and are never mentioned again. It tries to be a medical drama like ER or Grey's but has no direction. Bore with it for the first season but seems like from other reviews it didn't get any better after that. Really wanted to like it but there's nothing that really keeps me interested in watching.
