For the People: 1x05 World's Greatest Judge

A powerful, well-written and acted episode.

The Sum of All Fears

There's nothing like watching people reading from screens as a riveting suspenseful ending to a film (please see sarcasm). Alec Baldwin continues to be the best Jack Ryan. I never bought into the idea that Liev Schreiber as John Clark.

Lethal Weapon: 3x14 A Game of Chicken

Daman Wayans needs to go and retire. He is too distracting and makes each episode painful to watch. I actually like the new character Cole and I think the show would do great with just him. Or maybe partner him up with Bailey. Let Murtaugh retire, get Wayans off the show. It'll benefit the show greatly.

Magnum P.I.: 1x15 Day the Past Came Back

It's nice to see Jordana Brewster joining the cast of Magnum P.I.

I wish the producers and showrunners would stop with the overbearing music in each episode -- the music literally never stops in every episode and is quite distracting at times. It feels like a cheap way of trying to generate emotion or cover up for weak writing.

Titans: 1x09 Hank and Dawn

The show runners of Titans needs to stop with the interruptions of the main storyline.

As much as I like Hank and Dawn, both their episodes have caused the Titans storyline to a complete screeching halt.

The two Hank and Dawn episodes along with the Doom Patrol and Jason Todd episodes feel like padding and filler for stretching out the season.

This episode as a stand alone episode was actually quite good. But, it is squeezed in as a filler episode that breaks the momentum that was built up in the last episode.

Titans: 1x08 Donna Troy

This episode was much better, I enjoyed it a bunch. I liked that they finally started using the name "Starfire". The episode was lacking much in terms of action, but it was actually better because it. I liked the Dick and Donna scenes the best out of the episode. I am hoping the writers and producers keep up with putting out good episodes like this instead of bad ones like last week's.

Titans: 1x07 Asylum

I had been liking Titans so far, but this episode was pretty bad. I am hoping it’s just a fluke.

The Rookie: 1x02 Crash Course

I really like this show a lot. I like how they three TO's and Boots are bonding. The only thing the show needs is to cut back on the use of body and dashcams.

FBI: 1x02 Green Birds

They need less of the fake technobabble that is cringe-worthy...

“Super resolution-based reconstruction algorithm.”

"An advanced algorithm that creates models of voices and their unique characteristics."

"An audio DNA, it's supposed to be faster than Google search."

And Jeremy Sisto's character Jubal Valentine needs to stop yelling all his lines.

Lethal Weapon: 3x02 Need to Know

Murtaugh is pretty annoying and I hope the writers find a way of toning it down. It's unfortunate that Wayans is going over-the-top with his portrayal of Muraugh because I really like Seann William Scott and his character Cole. I would love to see them retired Murtaugh and promote Bailey to be Cole's partner.

Extinction

The twist was nice, but this film reallly felt like they took a 43 minute TV pilot and stretched it unsuccessfully into a 90 minute film.

The Spy Who Dumped Me

The problem with The Spy Who Dumped Me is that it feels very disjoint -- it feels like two different films were shot and then they tried to edit them together without much success. There is a mediocre comedy that works some of the time and there is the mediocre action film that gets quite dark. Mixing these two mediocre elements together only dilutes each other.

Kevin Kliner’s music for when Hera test flies the B-wing was perfect. It was reminiscent of the Rocketeer theme.

Reverie: 1x06 Pas de Deux

I gave this show six episodes to convince me to stick around. But, the episodes, outside of one episode, keep getting worse or continue to stick to an unconvincing formula. The ending of this week’s episode was disingenuous at best, at worse it treated the viewers like we’re complete idiots. The sister all the sudden announcing she has MS and having that solve the “problem” of the episode was plain lazy writing. I am finished with this show, it is being removed from the DVR schedule.

Skyscraper

If I had to pick one word to describe this film, it would be "lazy". I understand we're deep into summer movie session at this point and Skyscraper is made to be a summer popcorn flick -- I love summer popcorn flicks. But, the film is just so lazy in everything it does that it is no fun. Not even Dwayne Johnson's charisma can save this one. At some point Johnson's character remarks, "This is stupid" and I couldn't agree more.

Reverie: 1x05 Altum Somnum

Just as quickly as the show found its footing last week, it slips backwards this week. The show is much more interesting when it deals with the happenings in the real world rather than the virtual world. The person-of the week format isn’t working very well because the show can’t connect that person with the audience in 43 minutes. It would be better if the show could switch to a format where a character gets a multi-episode story arc, letting the audience connect.
