Outlander: The Birds and The Bees (2018)
Fantastic episode!
Probably the best Outlander episode so far in Season 4. Drama, wonder, family coming together and then sadness. Loved the acting from all of the cast.
Homeland: Paean to the People (2018)
Best Homeland season ever.
The acting is top notch across the boards. Claire Daines is outstanding in many of this season's episodes. The writing is top notch. Various plot surprises come into play, especially in the last two episodes. If you have followed Homeland all along I predict you will find this season very satisfying. It was for me.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Different but Still True to the Original Stories
A
I am almost done with season one and i like this series alot. I've read nearly all of Clancy's books and John Krasinski is very good as Ryan. I see those everyman, modest but able qualities in him. The writing and stories arethrilling and pull you along. The producers are right, Clancy's overall stories are better suited to TV. When will Ding and Clark be introduced? Love those characters from the books. Continue with how you are producing and telli g these great stories and characters. You've got a winner.
Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015)
Did not give all sides of the story, seemed biased.
In this film I did not see any solid information on what's going on with Scientology right now, today. Everyone in this film seemed to have been a member years ago. Where were the interviews with current Scientologists? Also, everyone Gibney showed seemed to have an ax to grind -- ex-wives, former executives, people who ran away from Scientology, etc. If you are doing a documentary on the Republican party you would probably talk with some current Republicans, not just folks who moved on to the Democratic party or turned Independent. For solid documentary work I look for example to someone such as Ken Burns and his body of work. I have many friends who are Scientologists and I do not see in them or their lives what this film purports to show. I am open minded enough to look closely at anything before I make a decision about it, whether that be a documentary film, a religion or a political party.
