Cannes Confidential: 1x04 The Deadlier Species

There is some world class horrible acting in this episode. There is nothing redeemable. Writing. Directing. Editing mistakes. Sophomoric from start to finish.

Cannes Confidential

The accents are so distracting that it’s hard to focus on the story. Blatantly rip off of Mallorca Files with less talented actors. If they had stuck with French and subtitles, would have been much better.

Shame on Bill Burr for this turd.

Disney should fire everyone else involved in the Marvel franchise and put James Gunn in charge.

Luther: The Fallen Sun

The absolute definition of a sell out. BBC, Cross, and Elba should all be ashamed that they sold their collective souls to Silicon Valley. 15 minutes in and you can tell someone plagiarized a James Bond script. Ruined a franchise. 2 hours of my life I wished to have back.

Help! My House Is Haunted!

Chris Fleming obtains the title of worst TV psychic. The quality of their audio evidence is really awful. More drama than supernatural.

Half the time I feel like I’m watching Galactic C-Span coverage talking about empire politics.

Spooked Scotland

Chris Fleming is one of the worst “TV Psychics” I have ever seen. Too much narrative and not a focus on the investigation. Doesn’t let the viewer develop their own conclusions. Lots of crackpot beliefs, “seeing images in my head”, queasy feelings. Lots of bullshit EVPs. Not a very convincing ghost hunting show.

The Last Kingdom: 5x01 Episode 1

The woke crowd finally tries to rewrite medieval history. Introduction of a African priest. Deaf girl practicing 9th century sign language. The only thing missing is a Transvestite Viking.

Seems like Katherine Parkinson's agent signed her up for this and she phoned in every minute. First few episodes were as awful as the pandemic. Not funny. Prizes were shit. Banter was shit. Hard to watch comics being held against their will. Picked up after 4-5 episodes.

MODERATION EDIT: Be respectful.

Finally a Star Trek worth watching. Paramount should save their money and cancel Discovery.

The Bay: Season 3

Too much interpersonal drama. Not enough mystery. Not a good British crime drama anymore. Too Americanised. Actors are good. Crap story.

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window

I’ll tell you what this series is not:
A parody
A comedy
A dark comedy
A thriller

The title is maybe a parody of a bunch of movies but it implies funny. This movie is not funny.

Kristen Bell does a great job of acting, however there are some fundamental problems. The writing is flat. The supporting cast is flat which means the director phoned it in. Sets are cheap and it has a mass produced feel.

It is trying to make fun of “lifetime” movies and comes off welll . . . a lifetime movie.

If this is what a parody movie looks like targeted to women, it is lost on women. My wife hated it - even with Kristen Bell. It’s not a date night film because the “parody” is lost on men who will never watch “Lifetime” movies.

You have to take risks to make a good film. No one took risks here. The star is not enough to save this film.

The Gilded Age

Tepid American version of Downton Abbey. Poor writing. Computer graphics distracting. Lots of manufactured social drama. Yawn!

Billions: 6x01 Cannonade

Already can tell the last season is not worth watching. It’s gonna be yet another show where the writers forgot it was entertainment and they just want to preach their progressive gospel. Entertainment writing isn’t the opinion column of the New York Times. Everything that made this show mildly interesting has evaporated.

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made

Nothing redeemable for adults.

My kids hated it. Even after reading the book.

We shut if off before the end.

Ruined family movie night.

Shameless: Season 11

Since the departure of Emily Rossum (even a few seasons before) the writing and plot lines have lost their humor. This show was really good in the first few seasons, but over time the writing became more “woke” gospel and less jokes and punchlines. This show ceased being a comedy and light hearted entertainment. It became a series of Politically Correct vignettes. Bad production.

The editors and writers know nothing about Chicago and they stopped filming altogether there. People who live in Chicago saw all the inaccuracies. Insulting to the third biggest city in the US.

Agatha Raisin: 4x01 Kissing Christmas Goodbye

Poor attempt at a slapstick murder mystery. It’s absurd in premise, awful in execution, and not even cartoonish humor. Haven’t read the books but I can’t believe they are as bad as this interpretation.

The Murders at Starved Rock

Primarily a documentary about someone making a documentary. The subject of the film tends to frame everything in context to his perceptions in a very narcissistic way. A good portion of the time devoted to his conflict with his father.

The filmmaker does a horrible job of setting up the crime, understanding who the victims were, even giving the viewer insights to the actual crime itself. Once again, making it all about him, his fears, and unresolved issues with his father. Even puts in a political angle.

This attempts to be a copycat of the Netflix “Making of a Murderer” but loses focus. It was mildly entertaining when you’re trapped in a house because of Covid.

Star Trek: Discovery: 4x02 Anomaly

To echo the falling rocks comment, why are there flashes of fire on the bridge in the first two episodes? Fire on a spaceship would be a big no no. It’s pretty cheesy set design and special effects.
