This reality competition show had me seething at times at how frustrated I was with the inconsistency of challenges between the contestants, and the overall feeling that the stunts are designed for producers to decide who goes further in the competition. The questions were too easy for my taste as well and when one team gets a hard question, and one team simply has to drink a bottle of rum and discern common hints/aromas... well. The only redeeming parts of this series are the cool places they go to, and that they are giving regular people the opportunity to travel the globe, and the excellent cinematography. The people on the cameras deserve a lot of praise putting up with such a poorly designed competition the entire time. I've seen better stunts in Fear Factor 20 years ago.

Surprisingly humanizing.
14 January 2023
I didnt expect much from this show. I anticipated a very high school level drama with superficial problems and i got anything but... this show has layers.... the characters have layers. Whoever designed this show has some untapped talent. As the story progresses you start to justify actions you would never make, and root for people because they deserve a chance and a change at life. This show is POWERFUL. Netflix would be stupid to let this gem fall away.
Im drunk and then i realized i require 600 characters to post a review on IMDB... so let me reiterate. If you are looking for a compelling, character driven adventure... this is it. Absolutely Humanizing.

Absolute Artistry!

The show had me absolutely enthralled from the beginning! An absolute perfect portrayed of artistry while sending a message. Voicing Feminism, LGBTQ issues, professionalism in the workplace , the list goes on ! Imagine my surprise when the great Christian Clemenson showed up in Episode 5 as the legendary James Beard ! The writing is superb, the acting even moreso. If I had to dock anything it's that the camera work to express Julia's size as opposed to the actress misses the mark from time to time ! This is a must watch !
Bill Maher: #Adulting

No new material here

This is the worst comedy special I have ever seen! No new jokes, no originality. Bill Maher is recycling jokes he has made for decades and delivering them poorly. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Save your time and watch something fresh and new.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
(2016)
Am I one with the force, the force is with me.

The abyss and frustration that enveloped recent past Star Wars movies has been filled! I just walked out of the premiere and just keep saying WOW! Hardcore fans of Episodes 4-6 have a real treat in store, and new comers are greeted with an excellent stand alone film filled with amazing character development, unfolding plot, and a cinematography masterpiece!
Characters- amazing! so thought provoking, in depth, and absolutely detailed performances by the actors. Even Darth Vader has that same jaunt in his step as the original. The cast didn't miss a beat, and no detail of their character went overlooked. I smell some serious nods for one cast member in particular, you all can guess who.
Plot- The plot started off a little disjointed and confusing. You know this is a story about how the rebel alliance gets the plans for the Death Star but that's about it. I have to admit i was a little fearsome the first 20 minutes are so of the movie, with having to learn all the new names, and jumping around to multiple different planets that have not been seen or explored in the Star Wars Cinematic Universe yet. Boy did my patience pay off. They answer just about every question you could possibly conceive and looking back realize the creative approach they took really played more into character development and building an entire experience. Have patience padawan, push through and the force will reveal everything.
Cinematography- The graphics and animations seamlessly meld into the elaborate, impressive and detailed sets I would expect from Old Hollywood, and every picture captures the imagination with possibility and information. A lot of my complaints with Episodes 1- 3 were that their efforts in technology advancements seemed unfocused, poorly guided, and without reflection, giving life to unspeakable horrors like JarJar Binks and flashy incoherent lightsaber swordplay. This movie transports you back to the technological era that existed in Episodes 4-6 and gets rid of the unnecessary clutter and disorganization that plagued previous Star Wars movies. By far the most impressive aspect of this film.
I was extremely worried about where Disney would take this franchise (especially after the standard and steady reintroduction they gave with episode 7) and those fears have been put to rest. Kudos Cast and Crew, I look forward to the next adventure to a Galaxy far far away...
