Complications (2015)
Another Loser
I was hoping for a House like show. Not even close. O'Mara is a great actor. I don't know how great actors get caught up in shows like this. He was great in Life on Mars. How do show's like that one get canceled?
Every episode is about women complaining about something. Almost every scene will have a woman complaining about something. It is like being married to 7 unhappy women. I didn't see one happy woman in any of the episodes. Why is this so popular to women?
I can overlook the ridiculous and unbelievable circumstances this doctor puts himself into or finds himself in. I can overlook the bad acting of the other actors. I can overlook the all the inconsistencies of what would happen in real life.
But, the constant scenes of complaining women....it makes you want to have your lawyer draw up divorce papers, even if you aren't married.
True Detective (2014)
1st Season was Great! Second season is sinking fast.
The first season was stellar. It was intriguing, gritty, and was never boring. The 1st season's characters interacted spectacularly with each other.
The second season is starting to stink. The bossy woman character is killing the show. I hope the obligatory woman character doesn't kill the series. But, Que cera, cera.
The second season's characters don't have the depth that the first season had. Are there different writers? If so, they chose horribly. The first season was a 9 only because I don't believe in a perfect 10. The second season is a 5 and is sinking fast. There is no way the viewer ship will be close to the first season. Please don't ruin the show with obligatory bossy women.
Intelligence (2014)
It's not a Scifi series
Oh gees, where do I start. I was looking forward to this show. The idea isn't original. But, I wanted to see how they would handle it. However, the writers ruined the most of the characters. You don't have to suspend you disbelief. You have to kill it.
Supposedly, the skinny woman named Riley incapacitated 4 men in a bathroom while guarding the presidents children. Who where these men? They must have been 4 members of nsync or something. Then, right before a gunfight she shoulder blocks Gabriel to supposedly take a bullet for him. If they are afraid he will get shot, why would they send him in the first place? It only gets worse.
Next, we have Lillian played by Marg Helgenberger. I liked her in CSI. But, the character she plays in this series is just a great big headache. She walks around barking orders at everybody. She's constantly stating the obvious. She runs the operations center, interrogates prisoners, makes prisoner exchanges and still has time to shop for her power suits.
So, we finally come to primary character Gabriel. Of course they would implant the priceless, one of a kind chip into a disobedient, disrespectful, risk taking, person with authority issues with an IQ a little more than his age. Nuff said.
Finally, we get to the writers. Shame...Shame on you for slaughtering an otherwise great possibility of a series. I thought this show was going to appeal to the scifi genera. Nope. It's heavily laced with women power issues and relationship dramas. All you have to do is look at the review stats and see what gender/age liked it the most. I predict this will never make it as a show or series. The one show is all I could stand to watch. It's just awful.
