Invasion (2021)
Watching Grass Grow is Faster
I personally can't imagine all the side story nonsense and dialogue going on while the earth is being invaded by an alien species. Each season could be condensed down to one, maybe two episodes. I love sci-fi, but I don't love watching grass grow. I would suggest watching some YouTube synopsis of season 1. A summary would probably be 9 and 1/2 minutes long and you would get more enjoyment and more information out of it than watching the series. You need the eye spreader from A Clockwork Orange to keep you attention going. However, if you're one of those people that wants to look at your phone while a movie is going on, this is the one show where everyone will be doing just that and nobody can complain.
FUBAR (2023)
Greatly Exceed My Expectations!
I went into this pretty skeptical thinking that it's going to be poorly written and poorly produced and surprisingly I was way wrong. If you like a good plot with a good story with good acting, then you'll be very satisfied to know all that criteria will be met. I hate giving spoilers so I'm trying not to.
Fubar is all about family and expectations when you don't know the whole story yet. I would only hope that in real life the CIA will make at least some family exceptions.
I'll summarize it this way, I can't wait until season 2 and Netflix has done an incredible job putting together this unique new series. It's much appreciated, and I've enjoyed it immensely.
Du xing yue qiu (2022)
Add English dub and take my money!
I can't tell you how rare it is for me to watch any movie with only English subtitles, it's rarer than the blue moon. However, this one is an exception with its warm hearted comedic style of one man's journey to get off the moon with a kangaroo that most people would throw out the airlock. In this world of negativity, it's a bright light and a definite asset to the Chinese filming industry. Bravo!! I love all the characters and there's nothing not to enjoy other than the fact of a incident to Earth.
Moon Man will make you laugh, cry, cheer for joy and hope this is the world that we can all live in.
The Terminal List (2022)
RIVETING!!!
One of the rare shows that both my wife and I watched together non-stop. What more do you need to know? Chris Pratt is upping his game everytime. A clear example where writing no good writing is the key.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Perfect Movie
What else is there to say .. watch it! If you could make a wish you'd end up with this movie. Everyone brought their "A" game to the screen and delivered. Guaranteed if you even liked the first movie .. you'll absolutely LOVE this one. I refuse to put any spoilers to even slightly reduce the movies impact.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
100 Episodes please
What more can be said, every single Dexter fan wants more than 10 episodes. Maybe there's an opportunity for Dexter Jr to continue the family business.
Superman & Lois (2021)
Wrong Direction FKA Absolutely stellar show
I'm mixing in my new and old review. Second season took a little bit of a stumble but it was still good and I would give it an 8-9 out of 10. The first season a 10 out 10. Now mid-season at best a 7 out 10 season 3. Well I certainly understand that people get sick and have cancer. The real world is enough of a misery. I don't need to watch something that I want to escape into and have entertainment but instead be dragged down. There's plenty of documentary shows about cancer and how it affects a family, but in this sort of show it has absolutely no business here. I guess if you want to destroy all of your shows on CW then bravo you're doing a fabulous job then. To me it's pretty clear that Lois is going to be cured by that infected version of Superman's blood, but it's so unnecessary.
The world needs more positive non-confrontational things today more so than ever.
Original Season 1 review:
Please don't F it up. Can't wait for season 2!
All I can say is I hope the CW doesn't infuse itself as it has in the past. Simply leave the show alone it's clearly well managed and well written.
Clara (2018)
Answers & Connection
Everyone wants a journey to know and not be teased with ambiguity.
Did they meet by accident? Was it an elaborate coincidence? Is there an actual point
and payoff of SETI?
The answers are at least to myself clear. I believe Clara was sent there deliberately to communicate with us. An autoimmune disease seems too convenient and her knowledge and guidance to specific for chance. SETI at least to me is akin to looking for puffs of smoke, meaning no advanced race is going to communicate at light speed over huge distances. Some form of entanglement or subspace communication that's beyond our understanding for now. Clearly the race was communicating with Clara or best described through Clara. The alien race .. is both advanced and most importantly empathetic. The world will be forever changed.
The Rookie (2018)
Better than Castle
If you like Castle then you'll love The Rookie. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least five or more seasons. The writing is exceptional and flows very smoothly through well thought out parallel stories throughout the show which only makes the show more riveting. The primary cast is outstanding with good chemistry, even the extras are well cast. Each episode has you wanting more which is all you can ask from any show.
Warrior Nun (2020)
Stargate for God
I'd like to say it's completely original but to me it's SG-1 gate reimagined at least that's what comes to mind here, but with a much less experienced cast and writers. Overall the concept is well conceived so it certainly kept me watching wanting more. The writing was like spitballs in my face and certainly an unnecessary blight on an otherwise good series. For season 2 for the love of God (pun intended) please hire more experienced screen writers. There's a huge potential here.
Space Force (2020)
Let's hope season 2 is better
Watching it is like being bombarded with mediocrity bullets. There's so much potential with such an ensemble of great actors. The comedy dial needs to be turned up and the overly awkward turned down. Not to mention the storyline needs to flow a little better. I've got my fingers crossed.
War of the Worlds (2019)
Cancelled EPIX it was so bad.
First, pick a language and stick with that choice. This is a very low budget, boring, poorly written TV series that Netflix probably passed on. It's also filled with no talent actors that only makes things worse. Keep in mind I love Sci-Fi, but I'd have to be paid serious money to suffer through a 4th episode.
Almost Family (2019)
Good show .. potential to be Great
Hopefully the show doesn't get stuck in the tiny details meanwhile overshadowing a huge potential of countless brothers and sisters to keep the story telling fresh and alive.
Regarding Australia, every part of the world has its own set of cultural differences and diversity that don't necessarily translate well. So I'm happy there's an American version.
Silicon Valley (2014)
Ending 1 Star
Great and brilliant show, but HBO needs to stop ruining a long vested interest with a Final episode FLOP. My advice is to stop at Season 6 Episode 6.
I understand everything doesn't end with Happily Ever After, but maybe with a sliver of hope or yeah .. Happily Ever After would be appreciated.
The Repair Shop (2017)
Didn't see it coming .. I Love it!
If you want to watch something uplifting then look no more. Never did I suspect that I would love this show so much. Wonderful back stories with a team of absolutely "brilliant" people. Meanwhile you'll learn a lot of skills while not realizing it. Love of what these people do permeates the show.
Supergirl (2015)
Took a great show and trashed it.
I use to love this show. This season (maybe its last) is so messed up I have a hard time finding anything good to say, but the second Brainiac's trying to love gets shot back into his face with Dreamer that was it.
