Almost Paradise: Uncoupled (2023)
Added character was useless
This is a typical good storyline for this series, keeping all the characters in character and was a good and fun time. I rated it a 7 simply because the character Lockheart played by John Story, was superfluous. He added absolutely nothing to the show and I'm guessing he was there in the show simply as a friend of Dean Devlin who needed a paycheck. He didn't really hurt the story except that the air time spent on him was detracting from the story. The rest of the show was good. Action that moved well, kept us interested, and was fun. Love this show and cast and I hope there will be a season 3.
Tracker: Lexington (2024)
So sad so bad
The show started off with such great promise, but just like every average procedural it is wiring itself down in standard formula. Crap. This latest episode just adds to that formula and I don't know why they feel the need to introduce another character to be a quote" nemesis". Trying to stick to the premise of the show and being straightforward would be much better. If they keep up like this, I'm just going to stop watching. I know Hollywood has their things that they want to emphasize, their social projects, etc. But this is getting to be too much. Political correctness, and gender equality don't need to be an entertainment. I want to be entertained and this episode didn't do it.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Season 2 is Horrible!!
Season 1 was OK, not great but OK, at least after years of no good Star Trek (Discovery was weak and not very good). Season 2 is horrific! First, a storyline that is very overused in Star Trek, time travel, and then not done well. Poor writing, poor story, and then, wow. They had to go Hollywood leftist and get woke. Why not, you've done everything else to upset your fans, let's just throw in social commentary in a science fiction entertainment show. I know Roddenberry did it in TOS, but much more subtly. Not the woke agenda way. After episode 4, I can't take it anymore and done. Maybe season 3 will be better but I don't have high hopes.
R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned (2022)
I made it about 20 minuyes in
As a new movie this is not a sequel to RIPD, but another story and I was excited to be entertained. I was not. As a dead sheriff the lead character was a dead white man, but since he could not come back as himself, he was made a black woman. In 1876. He was told, "you may know them but you haven't lived their life". My entertainment ended. As others have said, this attempt at social justice, gender equality, and general woke leaning of Hollywood and the entertainment industry to push their agenda is not entertainment. I watch TV and movies to be entertained, not to be indoctrinated by the left. No wonder they are losing money. Many who have reviewed it have said the same and more. Waste of time.
Moonfall (2022)
Sad and Horrible
The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, Armageddon, and Independence Day were all implausible yet entertaining and had everything this movie lacks. They all had a way to draw you into the story that made them seem more realististic than they really were, characters who you believed in and cared about, not just the cardboard cutouts of this film that never make any sense. I have seen stupider movies, but not many. What a waste of time and effort. I won't put any spoilers in here, its too much effort for something this bad. Apparently they threw in a couple of side stories in order to make it longer, or possibly just because they didn't have enough (or any) intelligent material for the main storyline.
The Rookie: Double Down (2022)
Pathetic
This show has been going downhill the past 2 seasons and it hit bottom now. Love the actors and the characters, but the writing sucks, creating totally unbelievable situations and throwing PC at us all the time. Pandering as hard as Hollywood can. This episode broke me from this show, I've seen everything Nathan Fillian is in from the beginning of his career but tjis show has turned to something unwatchable. So unbelievable, creating situations that cannot happen, the writers have stretch credibility too far. John made an unbelievable choice because they created a situation where he had to in order to keep the show and cast together. Sad that this promising show has died this way. Dead to me.
Resident Alien: Girls' Night (2022)
Pointless awful trash
Apparently after having a successful first season they {whoever they is} decided to put in a useless politically correct episode about girl power which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with a resident Alien, the premise of the show and the reason it is successful and has viewers. This was pointless drivel and lost viewers. Lost me for sure.
The Rookie: The Knock (2022)
Headed Downhill Again
The first 2 seasons were good, a cop show we could relate to with drama and humor and it was entertaining. Season 3 dove deep into politics and went the way of liberal Hollywood, driving people away, making us angry, and no longer entertaining. We considered not watching anymore. The season 4 began with most of the politics gone and we thought that maybe they learned something from the slide in viewers, and it was OK for a while, but now, not so much. This episode brought back the politics full force. Maybe they just can't learn and this show is done.
SEAL Team: Nine Ten (2021)
What did we do to deserve this?
Since CBS is moving the show to Paramount you wouldn't think they would air an episode this bad before getting us to pay for it. I love Seal Team as one of the more realistic military shows and I was contemplating the possibility of paying for streaming just to continue watching, but CBS killed that notion with this bland, boring, nothing of an episode. Interesting move, killing the desire of your audience to continue watching. This is among the worst episodes of tv I have ever watched. No spoilers since there is nothing to spoil.
Iron Fist: The Fury of Iron Fist (2018)
Terrible Start
While season one started well it went slowly bad, as in so slow it became boring. Fight, fight, fight, just reasons for fights without much intelligent plat development. Now a new season and they seem to be floundering badly on what to do, what direction to take the show. From this episode, all I see is boredom and a lost cause.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Absolutely Horrible
I suppose Chris Pratt made this for the money because it has absolutely no redeeming value at all. Lots of special effects and action, but no storyline that even begins to make sense. At first I thought the plot of coming back in time to recruit people to fight in a future was was really silly because, if I know when and where the alien invasion started I would just go back in time, tell the people in the past, and they could fix the problem before it began. Problem is, none of the writers are that smart. I'm guessing that they just made this horrible movie because they knew that people would think a movie with Chris Pratt in it would be good. Nope, it is horrible. It starts slowly bad, and gets worse as it goes. It just picks up speed as the stupidity roars towards the end. One of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Worse Superhero Movie of all TIME
"This film is useless and has as much connection to Wonder Woman as KFC has to vitamins." That's a quote from one of the other reviews and I couldn't agree more. This thing is so sad and pathetic, it is even worse than the 2003 Hulk movie. I'm not sure why anyone would even think this staory, this movie, would be worth making. Money and greed and depending on the stupidity of the public at large. I've watched 1.5 hours of this pathetic monstrosity and I'm quitting, can't watch the last hour!.
Stargate SG-1: Prometheus Unbound (2004)
Pathetic...beginning of the end
One of the two stupidest episodes of the series. The introduction of Vala shows how poor the writing can be and how ignorant the writers/producers think their audience is. Claudia Black thinks she is really sexy, and I'm sure Peter DeLuise does also, which is why he adds her to the show. An improbable plot, poor acting, and just ridiculous story are all we get here. So sad. Run away!
Last Knights (2015)
Decent Movie
Good actors. Fairly good storyline, though it is a so contrived it is something you have to accept with your gullibility. Until the end. The ending, which I will not reveal, is so absurd as to make the rest of the movie useless. I can neveer watch it again.
Wasted the skills of Clive Owen and some other good actors for this contrived and pathetic story.
Resident Alien: Heroes of Patience (2021)
Sharing the Night Together
Sharing the Night Together. That was the only good part of this episode and it was great. Everything else was so goofy, disjointed, and ridiculous I wonder what happened to the writers. This was so sad. This series had a great beginning but then lost the great spark it started with. The last 3 episodes went downhill so fast that what was a promising show sank to the bottom. I can't imagine a new season.
Stargate SG-1: Disclosure (2003)
A clip show
Maybe the worst show of the entire series. It is a clip show and really doesn't add anything new. The last few minutes are interesting but don't really add much. You can miss this episode entirely and not miss anything original
NCIS: New Orleans: Identity Crisis (2018)
I'm Done
A series that had promise has gone off the deep end. The writers/showrunners just love having hackers do things that aren't actually possible to advance the plot. Hacking an NCIS car during hot pursuit to shut it off. NOT possible but I suppose viewers will buy anything. I'm so fed up with the stupidity of the plots that it overshadows any redeeming characters. Stupid and I can't watch anymore.
Marauders (2016)
Waste of Time
It's a movie, like so many recently, that Bruce Willis took money to be the main attraction but doesn't have much screen time. It features an implausible and convoluted storyline that doesn't make much sense in the real world. It gets worse as it goes along, trying to be more convoluted, creating storyline twists and turns, I suppose to make it more complex. Instead it just becomes stupider. The ending is absolutely horrible and made me sad that I watched the entire movie. Don't waste your time.
Star Trek: Discovery: Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad (2017)
So sad reusing a plot line from so many shows
Discovery continues to prove itself as the worst entry in the Star Trek line. Reusing the time loop from so many different series is rather pathetic and done so poorly at that. Stargate SG-1 used it best and this episode of Discovery doesn't even come close to the imaginative use of this plot trick. This was so boring, I was just waiting for it to end.
Leverage: The Office Job (2011)
Worst episode of the series
Absolutely horrible. A film crew is filming the day-to-day of the office, doing interviews, and the Leverage crew just lets them film what they say to each other and provide realistic interviews. Absolutely NOT something Nate and the others would do. This episode was apparently supposed to be a parody of "The Office" but it is absurdly stupid I had difficulty watching.
FBI: Partners in Crime (2019)
Heading Downhill
This series started well but is turning into typical TV cop tripe. Reality takes a back seat to intelligence. As someone else put it "This story begins with a bank shootout that involves the killing of a police officer. Then it turns liberal left into propaganda about the killers being the victims." That's exactly where it goes. I won't do any spoilers but it isn't even good escapism anymore. Pathetic, Hollywood can take any subject and add their political spin to make it unbelievable. The real FBI works in the real world.
The Orville: Blood of Patriots (2019)
Pathetic episode
Not going to watch this show anymore. This was such a poorly thought out story line that I can't believe even liberal Hollywood came up with it. When you are at war, and a POW, you do whatever you can to escape and to inflict damage on the enemy. That was ignored in favor of ...unthinkable. I won't give any spoilers but this is the death knell.
Entebbe (2018)
Boring and Painful
Great subject matter to make an exciting film and it fell flat. No excitement, very little drama, it became a boring and listless film which struggled to get my attention. The absolute best part of the film was when a Palestinian terrorist lectured the German terrorist about what the difference was between them. The intermix of the interpretive dance with action in the movie was pointless and stupid and ruined the continuity of the actual hostage rescue. Proves that the director is a clueless hack with no potential to be any better. The absence of any information of what the IDF did besides rescuing the hostages also is sad. This film needed real direction and ended up being a poor and sad waste of time and film.
Polar (2019)
Pathetically predictable
So much unnecessary violence and gore, especially the gore, and it was so predictable. Sad that I wasted 2 hours of my life on this.
Designated Survivor: Outbreak (2017)
Lyor Boone
I'm not sure who the idiot is who decided the character Lyor Boone needed to be inflicted on us. He adds nothing to the show but adds to my, and others, anger and annoyance with this show. Season one was fairly good but season two needs some better writing. Adding a White House lawyer was an OK idea, but this arrogant and divisive political strategist is about to drive me away. Also, as someone else pointed out, the show seems to be pulling from current events and acting just like other shows, instead of having creative plot lines and writing. If I want current events, I turn on the news. I want entertainment, not a politicized version of current events. Oh, and the other subplot they are adding in, not going into enough detail to make it a spoiler but about the 1st Lady's mother, is flat out ridiculous. They are straining to come up with something scandalous and apparently don't have good enough writers to come up with something credible.
