Not Dead Yet: Not a Ghost Yet (2024)
This season was almost certainly written by an AI
So, I have thusly used AI to write this review, which only seems fair:
The finale of Not Dead Yet Season 2, Episode 10, felt like it was assembled by a malfunctioning AI. The plot was a jumbled mess, centering on the newspaper building being sold-a storyline that somehow resolved itself without any logic or coherence. Characters, once charming, were reduced to disjointed versions of themselves, spouting wooden lines that felt like placeholders for real dialogue. The humor? Nonexistent. Jokes landed with all the grace of a lead balloon. It's a finale that managed to make no sense while also being utterly forgettable.
Not Dead Yet: Not Going Home Yet (2024)
This show is objectively bad now
The only people left reviewing this god awful show are the ones who have invested in the first season and are for some unknown reason still hanging onto the characters and their lives. Why for the love of the internet are so many words required for a review? I'm using more words in this review than the writers of this show could independently think of in the writing room over two months, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote this season with an AI fed by the first season.
None of the episodes make any sense anymore, none of them have any heart, none of them take the core premise and do something reasonably relevant with it. Anyone giving this show or any of the season 2 episodes more than three stars shouldn't be trusted with an opinion, sorry. It's just so bad.
Not Dead Yet: Not Owning It Yet (2024)
Season 2 so far a complete dumpster fire
I enjoyed season one; it had moments of authenticity and some great storylines and character elements, and they used the main plot device to great effect every episode. It was sometimes fairly formulaic, but at least brought it back around with good writing and good acting to make it overall a human and endearing show.
Within 5 minutes of the first episode of season two, it's very clear that something in the team or situation that made season 1 unexpectedly work, is gone. Clearly they offshored the script, or cheaped out on the production, or just stopped caring after a successful first go. The characters are shells of their former selves, the plot is a train wreck of random events, and there's not an ounce of humanity or purpose to the script or plot.
Pass from here on.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Worthless
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. With what it could have been, it doesn't deserve even one star. Ruined.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Just bad.
It's not that it "took risks," it's not that it was "different," it's that the different risks it took resulted in a bad, non-sensical, low quality movie.
It feels to me like the whole movie was focus-grouped by people who didn't love Star Wars, brainstormed in a big committee, and then each scene was owned by a different 10 person committee, who then cut together their parts and combined the "good ideas" they voted on, filmed it, sent it to ILM and put as much lipstick on it as possible.
It's chaotic, all over the place, disconnected from everything that came before it, leaves you thinking, "huh" at the end, and wondering which part was important or meaningful at all.
There was one decent, wise part. I'll leave it to you to figure out which, because you'll probably see it anyway, as you should. It's just sad, because there was so much opportunity to do something fantastic and wonderful, and instead it went the opposite direction. Such is the paradox of power and popularity.
