Full Circle (2023)
Zazie Beetz is Unbearable!!
Overall decent show, with some predictable twists. I would've rated this higher had every scene with Zazie Beetz not been so unbearable to watch. The rest of the cast is great, and it's an attention grasping premise. I wish the pacing had been more consistent and moved a little faster. You have to be patient, a lot of aspects seem over complicated in the beginning. I cannot stress enough how detrimental Zazie Beetz's character is to the show, and it's a real shame. She has serious psychological problems and would never be allowed in the position she's in. Try your best to tune her out and ignore her unsightly braces.
Cruel Summer (2021)
Great Story, Some Bad Acting
Review for Season 1: An enjoyable watch that keeps it interesting with all the time changes (each episode is set over the same day over 1993,1994, & 1995) and different perspectives between the two leading ladies. However, some of the casting was distracting and detrimental to the show. Harley Quinn Smith was absolutely unbearable to watch, and ruined every scene she was in, and Andrea Ander's accent didn't fit in with anyone else. Over acted at times, but overall a fun watch and fresh concept that wasn't necessarily filled with a lot of twists, but an interesting plot. I'm excited to see how they continue the concept over to Season 2.
CSI: Vegas (2021)
They need to recapture the original magic.
The show isn't living up to the original and it keeps going downhill. Matt Lauria is consistently great, but Paula Newsome is hard to watch. Season 2 has a bunch of cast changes that weren't well explained, it's sad to see Gil Grissom gone (he was the best part of Season 1), but I'm glad they gave him a happy ending. They should have stayed with the "big bad" serialized style plot line of Season 1, it did a better job of holding my attention. They also over-explain very basic science/plot points but graze over complex experiments and it's pretty obnoxious. I hope it gets better, and they should continue to bring original cast members back for appearances.
