Mayor of Kingstown: Soldier's Heart (2024)
Episode one of season three
I was hoping season three would have a decrease in finger, wagging virtue signaling. But the sermons escalated a bit. I enjoy the layers in the plot, ranging from family relationships to prison gangs to the criminal justice system. I especially enjoy Wendy Special police unit is deployed and there fearless leader. I was hoping he would not be criticized for doing very dangerous and important work. I do appreciate when civil servants are portrayed realistically. People who are underpaid, unappreciated, yet placing their lives in danger from the time they clock in until they are safe at home with their families.
Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell (2012)
Completely out of touch. More entitlement than comedy.
First of all, regardless of the weak personalities making awkward special interests group speeches, the low quality (and often incongruent) laugh track makes very difficult to consider this a credible production. If television reflects our culture then I can only hope the viewers of this show are a small and isolated group. The episode I viewed this evening included a man introduced as a comedian. He apparently read a TelePrompTer and paused seconds before each laugh track audio. His jokes were a litany of comparisons between 7 years of working at McDonalds with 7 years in the US military during the Vietnam war. The biggest surprise was a few incidents in which the audience in the studio groaned along with the laugh track.
