Dark Matter (2024)
Big fan of the book, was so excited when I stumbled across this
I have read and re-read the book many times. It is one of the few novels I can pick up again; most I read once and am good. When someone mentioned the series, I was instantly excited; doubly so when I saw the level of direct influence the novel's author has in the show
So far the series is holding true to the spirit of the novel. I have always appreciated Jennifer Connelly's talents, and I see her character in this series very much like the role she took on in the movie Dark City (of which I am also a fan).
Thus far, as we are only 3 episodes in at the time of writing this review, my only complaint is the language. Without being too puritan, I find too many shows on Apple TV+ having characters drop the "f bomb" which - imdb won't allow me to spell out - just for the sake of having it there. I rewatched all three episodes and am convinced you would lose nothing from the story, the emotions, or the world-building thus far if you dropped all but (perhaps!) one of those f bombs.
United We Fall (2020)
Just a complete waste of talent
I just do not understand studios that continue to try cranking out the same, sorry, tired format. I I will never understand capable actors such as Will Sasso or Jane Curtin attaching their names to such a travesty. Sasso is better than this, funnier than the cheap 80's laugh-track will ever let you know. To think that Julius Sharpe would accept credit as a co-creator, rather than slinking away in embarrassment, is astounding to me.
