The show was enjoyable even though it had very predictable punchlines. I haven't seen an episode in which Mike wasn't right and/or got his way in the end. Now it's pushing political ideologies way too much.
Also funny how the supposedly dumb characters in TV or movies are very often the smartest ones in real life, kudos Molly Ephraim.
Anyway I'm done with it and let's see how long it takes until Tim Allen has his Roseanne moment on twitter.
Writing this comment a few years after the show ended, and my 5 star rating stands.
I really enjoyed the show at the beginning and enjoyed it enough to watch it (not hate watch) it through it's first cancelation. The show was cast very well, everyone played their role really well, but the constant hard line political views and commentary were just annoying. I am not political, this is not an "I find it offensive" response, I truly just found it annoying to have any political ideal thrown at me in ~75% of the scenes the star is in.
That said, I would have given it a 6 if they had not come back for a few more seasons. To start, they replaced Molly Ephraim with Molly McCook, and while I have no issue with McCook at all, both my wife and I thought she was great, something was off (and we accepted her as Mandy, roles get recast for a myriad of reasons) and we still cannot put our fingers on it, but I think McCook was dumbed down too much in the role, neither my Wife or I could imagine her as that stereotypical "dumb blonde" character.
The show dragged on, it felt like people were contractually obligated to be there, more than they wanted to be there. Just one guy's opinion, take it as you will.
Also, I missed Kaitlyn Dever, Eve was such an awesome character, and I understand the timing was bad for her (I thought I read), but her absence was noted.
Dang that scene with the racial stereotypes was hard to get through. It was awkward watching them get through the awkwardness.
Wow, so they got a new show runner, and the first decision he makes is to get new actors for Kristina, Kristina's kid, and Kristina's boyfriend/baby daddy (no longer a Jonas bro). To top it all off, there is a weird disconnect where Kristina's baby daddy is also now really in the picture.. strange, very strange.
I wouldn't care so much about the fact they recasted Kristin except for the fact she has a completely different personality. I don't like new Kristin. Also the kid aged like 3 years! What's up with that? And baby daddy is now a sort of permanent fixture? WTH? Did the writers not watch season one before writing season two?
I don’t know anything about the halo universe and I’m enjoying this more than I expected I would.
I’m gonna ignore the nerds and nay sayers. This is good hard sci-fi fantasy and the story is really compelling.
Another good episode. The visuals are amazing and Master Chief just looks amazing. Pablo Schreiber is awesome in the role as he first and foremost has the right physique to play this iconic character.
What an adrenaline filled amazing episode. Loved it.
I was on the edge of my seat for the whole duration of the episode! This show just keeps getting better.
Starts strong, but dies down as the film goes along
Meh. I've seen Denzel Washington give better performances. A pilot crash-lands a plane, and his alcohol abuse comes to light. This one is pretty ham-fisted in its approach to the subject. I mean, while not bad, it's not that great either. While it has a definite story-arc and character development, it lacks any kind of subtlety. The problem is that it's so obvious how things are going to play out and so few risks are taken with the story or characters that it feels very cookie cutter with no surprises, which in turn makes it feel condescending in that it doesn't give the audience credit for detecting subtlety in a serious subject. Average, but not great.
A difficult movie to truly enjoy. It's a completely daft story, yet feels like it's got a heavyweight veneer. As always, Denzel Washington does his Denzel Washington acting...which is really starting to wear a little thin with me.
This is a bit of a failed by the numbers film, and I was never able to resolve what the writers and director were trying to say about the lead character. Flight was by no means horrible, just a bit of a waste of time.
So you'll going to get like 10 minutes of solid adrenaline action movie and the rest 2 hours is going to be a shitass boring documentary you could not care less for. Brace yourself.
The main highlight of the movie was Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari but even the forced English accent makes it sound like it was an Oscar bait, they should've either done the movie in full Italy with English subtitles or just pure English tbh. I wanted more content on cars but ended up getting a little too much about Ferrari himself but it was probably my fault for expecting this to be solely focused on cars.
Is Ferrari a checkered flag or a pit stop? I don't know it's a mixed bag honestly and depends on what you expect it to be. Ultimately the movie ends up being more of a character study.
honestly thought it would be better and more about the racing but it was more about his love life. felt like there was only 15mins of racing in the whole movie.
quite a few people in the cinema checking the time on their phones which implied I wasn't the only one not that interested in it.
Was expecting more of a story about the man not just a short part of it and even then it was a bit here there and everywhere. I’m sure the man was more interesting than just finding out he had an out of marriage son. Beautifully shot and didn’t find the acting or accents quite as bad as some say excluding Mr Dempsey why he was chosen I don’t know.
Like a soap opera digest: skips over the facts to focus on the romantic drama.
Like this year's Napoleon, there was a lot I wanted to know about the subject and none of it was in the film.
Credit where it's due, though, the film did a nice job recreating the era and Adam Driver was one, but if you want to be truly entertained watch Ford v Ferrari again or maybe an episode of Succession, which at least has the decency to be shorter.
becomes more and more contrived and ridiculous from episode to episode and season to season.
Oh, look, it's becoming another Scorpion show.
Quite disappointing to be honest.
Boring and stupid episode. Patterson is characterized as the smart person of the team who also happens to be the computer person of the group as well. Yet she was portrayed as being very stupid in this episode as a plot convenience for her to have this imaginary conversation with David while being the main focus of the episode except he's dead and was actually her subconscious. To top that off, she was trying to solve a tattoo, solved it, and then pursued it all by herself and paid the consequence for it. And to make it even more obvious that all of that was simply a plot convenience, had she shared the solved tattoo with the team, they would've caught the guy in the very first minute of the episode, if not earlier.
I love Patterson as a character, the "tech guy" being a woman and inserted so naturally into the series. but I think her character is made to be the "smart and intelligent when it comes to concrete data and abstract knowledge but dumb in making real life decisions and social skills", so I'm cool with her doing stupid stuff when confronted like this - but yeah, this episode was filler, the case was minor in the scheme of the plot and they could have solved it in a minute if Patterson didn't try to do it by herself lol
And more imposing on the job even though the hipster guy is dead.
Seriously, that was the most ridiculous episode Blindspot did so far and it's going to be difficult to top that.
I like that this show has a "normal" woman being the tech "guy" and not being weird or made fun of by being the way she is - or being a forced social commentary. But this episode made me hope she gets killed off for her stupidity, a hope that isn't gone with the end of this episode.
This was the worst episode yet. Patterson is the stupidest smart person
This show is chaos and it is infuriating.
It's not even the multiple storylines going on, though that adds to the chaos, it's the format. Some slower episodes are easier to follow when they take the time to allow the scenes to breathe and evolve, but most jitter back and forth in such swift succession, it's like a squash match with caffeinated meerkats.
Blindspot is like an aptly titled, beautiful 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with all the corners and edges missing... no idea if we'll find them, guess we have to keep at it... * groan *!
Being cryptic just to be cryptic. Ah, one of those tropes everybody loves. A guarantor for unnecessary plots.
I do enjoy this show overall for its usual rather dense plots, good cast and chemistry, even though it's not really an outstanding series. But this shadow-y tattoo business is like a trap for this series it cannot get out of and will be the downfall of the series in the longrun.
Am I a bad person for being glad that David actually got killed? He was annoying af
The whole CIA vs FBI plot point is pretty lame. The show actually isn't that great plot wise, they just pull you in by the mystery of what happened to Jane.
Cutthroat Island sure is something...
Sure... It looks magnificent, and that explosion in the end is worth the two hour running time, but think where this one could have been if the studio had ditched Renny Harlin and the then wife, and gone with someone with the chops to pull this off.
It's weird how something so utterly stupid can be as entertaining as Cutthroat Island actually is. The dialogue is beyond terrible, the acting is mediocre, and yet… I always end up smiling at the end.
Still... I rewatch it from time to time. I'm not sure what that says about me, but maybe Cutthroat Island isn't really all that bad?!?
Pretty good little show. It took me a while to relax and feel confident that Maigret was not going to turn into Mr Bean. Atkinson is nothing like Maigret from the novels but he does a good job playing a serious, talented detective nonetheless.
Good story, nice special effects
