You People (2023)
You People... shouldn't have made this film.
Guess who's coming to dinner? Nobody if you show them this film. Culture/race clash comedy where the comedy revolves around a mixed race couple and their respective parent's. One group Jewish, the other Black Muslim.
Blac Dad hates white people. Jewish Mum frequently says the wrong thing to sound more accepting. Any comedy that tries a gag of one upmanship themed around the Slave Trade vs. The Holocaust is scraping the bottom of a barrel that shouldn't even exist.
The cast has the pedigree to make the jokes land. Several SNL alumni alone should be up to task, but they just don't have much to work with.
Scream (2022)
Ooh, let's be edgy be offing legacy characters.
Scream. How could you do this to me? I genuinely liked the way that you linked so much if this back to descendants of the original films. Some of the deaths were genuinely impressive. Subverting the expected opener. Nice you touch. Cripes. I can even understand why you underpaid Meve Campbell given her last introduction to proceedings. Kudos for still having the same ghostface voiceover. I could cope with Sheriff Judy, I could cope with. However Killing Dewey is some of the sloppiest last writing ever. Yes I'm genuinely outraged at the flimsy way you off a stalwart character. One who is superb as the bumbling hero. This is not the way you go about things.
Another Life (2019)
Has promise, but rarely fulfilled
Sorry for any spoilers.
I want to like this show. It has a great premise, save for some real gripes that I have.
Sometimes the writing feels a little lazy or convinient.
S2 E01 is a fine example. In less than the 39 minute runtime of the show, we lose 3 crew members under far too unnecessary "easy" circumstances and one character changes nationality just because. And so far, I have no care for the story telling place on Earth.
October Faction (2020)
Presidi-oh dear!
Having been on a run of three supernatural themed shows on the bounce, I was really geared up for this. Unfortunately, what is a great premise quickly falls flat mid season. Several episodes are almost complete non-event. This show could be a real hit, but the writers really need to overhaul the show and pick a theme. And perhaps make the characters less annoying and 2 dimensional. I also don't want to give.much away, but this show has the worst ending to a season I have ever witnessed. It just ends, and you're left wondering what on Earth just happened?
