Reacher: Papier (2022)
This is the episode that brought it together
This is the episode that brought it together for me. Specifically when Rankin plays the Kansas song, "Carry on my Wayward Son". Listen to the song, think about Reacher's music as a white guy and think about Rankin's music as a black guy. This was a reveal that was first hinted at in the very first episode and Reacher's reason for visiting Margrave. It points to thier differences and their commonality. Such good writting for an action series. I now know why it has held my interest so well for 5 episodes. On the surface you could say it's just a cheap joke and laugh at Rankin's musical interest but it goes far beyond a cheap joke.
In the Flesh: Episode 1 (2013)
So very well written
I never thought I would be so overcome by emotions watching a series on zombies. I've only watched the first season so far and decided I had to watch the first season again before I moved on to the second. There is so much that is packed into the story telling that you may want to pay closer attention the second time through. Relationships that you think you understand become clearer the second time through.
There are comic elements to the writting but you may be surprised how they use them to draw you into the relationships between the people in this small town and in each family member. I'm so glad I found this gem of a show. Please take the time to enjoy what the writers are trying to show you.
Don't Look Up (2021)
A touchstone for the times
This is a well conceived, written and performed piece of cinema art. It will be a touchstone for the times in which we live, but only if we live through these times.
You: What Is Love? (2021)
I was ready to give up. Final episode makes it work.
Best season ever. So gritty, so absurdly funny. If you are prepared to laugh you will enjoy the absurdity, the irony, the dry humor. I between all that is suspense, touching moments and times where you don't know who's side your on.
You: Missing White Woman Syndrome (2021)
This has several hilarious moments
You can't take this show too seriously. I'm sure the writers were intentional when they put in the line, "We're better than this" They knew we the viewers would say, in unison, "No you're not!!". I watch for those moments. Very cleverly placed throughout the whole series.
Maid: Dollar Store (2021)
More More More
This is so good. I'm only two episodes in but it's fantastic. Those of us living on the edges don't get our stories told nearly enough, AND with appropriate humor mixed in. That's our lives. Despair and joy and humor mixed in.
Shadowplay (2020)
Just wait till the last episode
I give the series a 7 out of ten. It held my interest. It was a little odd, but it held my interest. I was annoyed by some characters, but it held my interest. There was gratuitous torture that made it hard to the choices of the writers, but it held my interest. But just wait till the last episode. You will see where it lost all interest for me. I started the episode giving the episode a 7 but as it went on my rating dropped lower and lower. You can see for yourself if you watch it. The final drop to a 1 happened when the farmer got off the wagon and walked 200 yards to where the man was sitting under a tree. All semblance of realism was lost. I will NOT be suckered into watching another season.
