Dead Boy Detectives

I'm out of the loop. Is this a spin off of the kids who appeared for a few episodes in the last season of Doom Patrol?

Sucker Punch

It pains me to give this movie such a poor grade because it really is so well done. Zack Snyder has such a firm grasp on his look, he's carved out his own genre of movie. He's also proved that a movie cannot survive on looks alone.

The Handmaid's Tale: 2x09 Smart Power

I know I've said before that this show is unique because it's been told from a woman's point of view, but I'd have appreciated a bit more realism in the diplomatic mission to Canada. I mean, the whole trip was accomplished with just the two of them and Nick? And, for a police state, they really allowed their diplomats some long leashes. I enjoyed the secret agent stuff, but I was hoping it would be, you know, a bit more secret.

Also, on their return, a well meaning anonymous sound editor left in a dog barking in their neighborhood. This means that in the canon, Gilead has dogs.

Cougar Town

This show is entertaining because you get to see Courtney Cox ruin her face through liberal amounts of plastic surgery.

The Man in the High Castle

Can I give my one big (spoiler free) pet peeve about this show? I mean, they've been demonstrating how superior the German technology would be, with supersonic jets and more efficient subways scooting across Brooklyn, but why is everyone able to dial long-distance calls so easily? It is still the 1960's, and I cringe when someone in New York picks up the phone and dials directly to what is basically another country in San Francisco, across the entire Neutral Zone.

So much talent, such a disappointment. What a shame.

Couples Retreat

Wow. What a horrible, unfunny movie. Really, no interesting characters, no compelling plotlines. Anything remotely approaching a joke is telegraphed miles away. Really sad.

Fargo: 5x10 Bisquik

That finale was both not at all what I expected and yet exactly what it should be. Really a wonderful end to a lovely season.

Dave: 3x10 Looking for Love

I did not think that they could top the Rachel McAdams cameo, and by the end of the episode, I could not even remember her part.

Was that (TV) Ellie's first kill? I remember watching the game, video game Ellie killed the guy in the basement of the hotel early in Pittsburgh, but other than the infected in the basement of the gas station, I don't remember TV Ellie killing someone yet.

Moonhaven

This is shaping up to be a very good show, with some issues through the first season. The Mooners, with their hippie aesthetic and lovely language flourishes, have created some delightful characters and there are some very good performances from the actors who brought them to life. Arlo, Blu, and especially little Elna have made the most of these roles and hopefully we will see them go on from here.

Night Sky: Season 1

This show reminds me of others that have an amazing premise and wonderful initial season, but slowly lose altitude as the seasons progress, and the gaps in the filled in universe just aren't as interesting as we'd hope. Shows like [JK Simmon's](https://trakt.tv/people/j-k-simmons) own [Counterpart](https://trakt.tv/shows/counterpart), or German import [Dark](https://trakt.tv/shows/dark) were both excellent shows that started out great, but had every season never be as good as the first.

The Orville: 3x01 Electric Sheep

I'm glad to see that the move from Fox to Hulu was good for this show; though the filler from the extended runtime was impossible to miss, I'm hopeful that future episodes will make better time of it. The fact that Seth MacFarlane was able to resist filling those extra minutes with sophomoric dick jokes is a positive development, instead it was filled with solidly expensive special effects though perhaps they laid the score on a bit thick.

Russian Doll: Season 2

This season has a few choppy bits, with extra trips sucking away the valuable runtime needed for a more satisfying resolution, but the set and costume designers easily carry the show into an extraordinary range. I'm a sucker for time travel shows (like the German import [https://trakt.tv/shows/dark|Dark]) and this shares the dedication to getting those background details right and excellent casting.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Okay, all my nerd friends who posted how great the new Spider Man movie was all over Facebook a few months ago were right, the movie really was very good.

I'm actually not a huge MCU fan, I didn't even remember that Andrew Garfield played Spider Man, and I've never watched any MCU movie more than once. But, I did enjoy the movie greatly and especially enjoyed how each of the three actors had a chance to lend their own unique voice to their identical characters. In fact, everyone returning from other universes in the movie just seemed to have fun with their roles, which made the movie so much more enjoyable.

From: 1x04 A Rock and a Farway

I'm really impressed by the maturity of this show; when Ethan casually mentioned his late brother Thomas, I had to rewind through the previouslys to make sure that I didn't miss it being brought up before. At this point of the season, the only thing that I'm scared of more than the monsters is the possibility that the producers are going to find a way to mess up this show!

Our Flag Means Death: 1x04 Discomfort in a Married State

Claudia O'Doherty is a treasure and it was worth waiting for her to be showcased in some small role. The show is certainly better than it was when it started, but not as good as I want it to be.

From: Season 1

A third of the way through the season, and I must say that I am impressed. It reminds me heavily of the landmark first season of The Walking Dead (https://trakt.tv/shows/the-walking-dead/seasons/1). Very well thought out, great atmosphere and realistic and consistent characters make the universe feel lived in and important. Really looking forward to the show as it goes forward.

Severance: 1x01 Good News About Hell

I was so disappointed that they showed Mr. Milchik was not severed; by showing one person on the floor could exist on both sides of the elevator made the reveal that Mark's absent minded neighbor is actually her boss far less interesting than it could have been.

Y: The Last Man

I started watching this because everyone talked about how excellent the source material was. As I'm not a comic book fan, I will have to take their word for it, but this show just didn't work, with simple characters and it's endless MacGuffin hunts. It reminds me of the second season of The Walking Dead, when it was still teetering with possibilities from the electric first season and the endless slog of every season afterwards. Like that show, I don't see any sign of improvement, so I'm bailing before getting invested.

Rick and Morty: 5x09 Forgetting Sarick Mortshall

I didn't realize that this was the first half of a two parter that aired the same night; I thought that this was the season finale. Much better knowing that I won't have to wait for a resolution to this story.

The Nevers: 1x04 Undertaking

Amalia True's tortured female antihero is a trope that I don't see enough of, but here she pulls it off better than anyone since the very good first season of Jessica Jones. This episode a great showcase for her, starting with drowning her grief in sex and booze, then the fantastic conversation with Lord Massen and ending with her choked sobs listening to the message from the presumed aliens.
