Emily in Paris: Love on the Run (2024)
mindless fluff, but fun
Emily in Paris is mindless fluff. It is a good show to watch to forget about your worries and issues and just dream about living in a beautiful place where it is always sunny, there's cute men everywhere and you can wear outlandish clothes and no one bats an eye!
That said - Emily is still super annoying - butting in to other people's issues and not recognizing this is not something one should do!
Also, she has no clue about workplace behavior. Sure, show up to a work event that you need to go to, but then disappear to go help Cammie. Yeah, okay.
I will say Giverny is now on my bucket list! I love Monet paintings!
Cobra Kai: Peacetime in the Valley (2024)
absurd
This show is just absurd. I realize that fighting is the core of the show - but no one ever cracks a rib or breaks a nose? How come no one can have a civilized conversation? They always have to come to blows?
It's just absurd that Krese fled the country and returned after escaping jail. I realize it is TV and one needs to suspend belief - but c'mon!
Also, whose phone was Amanda holding when the call came in from the hospital? It seems unlikely that the hospital would call *her* and even if they did would they give information to her about a non relative? Was it Tory's phone? Tory already knew her mom was dead.
I will say- it was a good twist at the end when Tory showed up with Krese and Co.
Bored by this show at this point - but willing to finish it up to see where it all goes. It's the same thing over and over. Maybe Mr. Miyagi will come back from the dead? That would be exciting.
Barry: tricky legacies (2023)
beyond unrealistic
Barry was a clever, interesting and disturbing show.
I watched it much later after it came out, and finally logged into imdb to write a review that no one will probably read.
It was beyond unrealistic that they just wind up living in the middle of nowhere - how do they pay for things? They do have electricity - how did they set up these utilities? Did they use their own names?
Sally is stealing from the restaurant. Do they pay cash for things?
How did she have a kid? Did she have a home birth? So the kid has probably never been to the doctor? Yes, I'm sure there are people out there like that.
The fact that Sally decides to take off with him in the first place was extremely upsetting.
What a disappointing 2nd half of the season to what was a great series.
Cobra Kai: The Prize (2024)
Fights, Fights again
I guess people like this show for the fights. I just think it's beyond ridculous at this point? Why does everything result in a massive fight where no one gets hurt and there are no consequences? These kids need some major anger management classes!
How on earth is Johnny going to afford to rent a house? What houses for rent have open houses? If so, the homeowner wouldn't be there! The guy who claimed to have seen Johnny fight didn't look old enough to remember him in 1983. I was 10 in 1983, I don't think I remember any sporting event or person I saw at one. We're not talking a perfect game at Yankee Stadium - lol.
It's beyond stupid too that they made Carmen prego. Babies always ruin shows. They can't afford a kid - but of course it's TV so they'll make it work.
Was this the one where Johnny steals the guys phones? Does anyone think the girls would go to a slumber party with him - that was creepy and weird.
Will watch to finish up the series - how they are going to stetch this out into 18 seasons - I find hard to believe.
What a train wreck.
Cobra Kai: Sleeper (2024)
beyond ridiculous
This show is so beyond ridculous - at this point.
Are we really supposed to believe that Krese broke out of prison and left the country? C'mon.
Then he cuts the head off of a cobra - give me a break.
Daniel, Chozen and Amanda find a box about Mr. Miyagi. Take off at night to a random place. Happen to find someone there who happens to know something about the situation? C'mon now thats just not realistic.
I think they are just running out of ideas. So they are going off on all of these tangents- with Krese in Korea and a back story of Mr. Miyagi.
This show is beyond absurd. Will watch to finish it up - but it's just so dumb at this point.
Catastrophe: Episode #4.6 (2019)
What a jerk
Rob became a total a** in the final season. His behavior was despicable and deplorable. He clearly needed therapy and some kind of anger management training. I suppose the show was supposed to be like "real life," but who wants to watch someone who behaves like that? And the way he talks to Sharon at the end (about taking her children) was beyond the pale. I couldn't believe she was willing to stay w/him after that. I hope the custody laws in the UK favor the mother and that she runs away from him! Although what kind of parents would leave their kids in a car while they swim in a body of water where swimming is not permitted. I was glad that their friends made up in the end. Hopefully, they worked it out!
Dead to Me: We've Reached the End (2022)
awful and so unrealistic
I enjoyed the first season of this show. I thought it was clever and different. The 2nd season got a little absurd with the twin showing up out of the blue. The 3rd was just too much. Why is Perez letting Jen get away with murder - literally! Then I had hope that Nick would take care of things - but he lets Judy go to the trial. Doesn't anyone follow up on things? Wouldn't the ankle bracelet go off when they took it off? Then, why is the FBI agent letting Jen into his hotel room and eating something she gives him? Are they mesmerized since these women are pretty and wealthy? Then Judy disappears in Mexico- presumably dead. I would hope the police would attempt to find her - but I'm guessing she drowned. What happened to the car they drove to Mexico? The mustang still runs after being in a garage for a couple of years? I know with TV you have to suspend belief - but this just really annoyed me. Too many loose ends. Too annoying.
Admission (2013)
disappointing - don't waste your time
I work in a grad school admissions office, so I was really interested in seeing this movie. Boy was I disappointed. This movie was so incredibly bad. It may have been one of the worst movies I have ever seen! SPOILERS - What she did at the end of the movie was pathetic. I'm glad she was fired. Would anyone really risk their job for that? I know it is "just a movie," but I found it to be incredibly annoying. Then she confronts the kid at the party at the end. Really?! So awkward and cringe worthy. Also, love how she drives to Keene, NH from Princeton, NJ like its 10 minutes away.
Lily Tomlin was great in the movie. The two stars are for her.
Do not watch this movie!
