The Only Living Boy in New York (2017)
rich and beautiful people have problems too
My girlfriend dragged me to the cinema to see this flick, and when she fell asleep after 15 minutes, and despite not being a drinker, I wish I had smuggled in more than one beer. Like most films and series it is set in a fantasy world most of us don't have access to. A boy who's biggest problem seems to be getting away from his loaded dad and depressed 'don't know what to do with my free time' mother, and which woman to pursue. The stunningly beautiful one, or the stunningly beautiful one. Granted, I'm simplifying, and the story does build, but I just cannot fake any interest in these type of ivory tower characters anymore.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
main character purposely
I'm a bit divided about this show, it has genuinely great moments, but at other times it gets so bad I feel like skipping to the next episode. The fundamental problem is that the main character is written to be teeth grinding annoying. I understand that it might be part of the premise of the guy who lost a screw while thinking he's the last man on Earth. But it's very hard to find him even remotely likable. There are so much narrative possibilities with an end of society story line, and they don't use many of them. Admittedly, they are probably bound by a small budget. But most of the story is people arguing like they would in any soap, be it the problems are of course a bit more extreme here. While this is a comedy series (I think), the parts that are supposed to be funny usually aren't unless you're into extreme cringe.
