The Serpent Queen (2022–2024)
8/10
Wicked, cunning, chess game..
1 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I thought I would watch the whole season before I wrote a review. This was a well written and acted story. I know it is complete fiction that only swirls around real people in history. It shows how evil and wicked and sad a woman will go to just to be as Catherine states for freedom. Catherine is playing three level chess and all around her are just pawns. Right now she is winning but she has made enemies all around her so she is walking on egg shells. I loved this first season and will want to see a second season. Naming this the serpent queen is a good title. She can strike like a poisonous snake if you step the wrong way. Well worth the watch on this one.

For All Mankind: Stranger in a Strange Land (2022)
Season 3, Episode 10
10/10
Oh My
13 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Oh My this episode was beyond awesome. I feel like others have said the were a few episodes that were not great. It was like a roller-coaster, some were pretty good and some not so good but, this season's final episode was so awesome it had me on the edge of my seat. I even got emotional on parts of it. I though the 2nd season's final was so good but this one had it beat. I see there is a time jump at the very end and my jaw hit the floor about Margo...I can hardly wait until season 4 starts it will have a lot of issues stemming from what happened in this episode. I know it will be good.

The Bear (2022– )

Let it rip
19 July 2022
Started watching this for Jeremy Allen White like others have said. I watched all episodes in one night...yes the episodes are short but don't feel like they are..So much was going on with each episode. It was awesome to watch Carmy become more than what he was and working through the pain he had about his brother which he looked up to. The rest of the chefs actions with each other was textured and interesting even through the chaos each one shinned...I can't wait for season 2. I am glad White is in another well received series. This one is a winner....

Pick jaw from floor
1 July 2022
This was a awesome episode. It had me on the edge of my seat. My jaw was on the floor. This is a excellent series. I also will say the music used on this episode was a plus.

Are those my golden guns?
8 June 2022
This movie was good. Nic and Pedro were great together. I am a Nic Cage fan like so many others. I was glad to see him in something that was pretty good...Was it silly? Yes....was it crazy, yes....but that made it all the more hysterical. I laughed all through this movie. The Nicky alter ego in his mind killed me...so funny. I already knew Pedro could play funny but this was over the top...not sorry I watched this movie..and you should watch it too...

New Amsterdam: I'll Be Your Shelter (2022)
Season 4, Episode 22
6/10
What a mess
25 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This season has been one downer after another. I am not sure a hurricane like that would hit New York..this episode was really full of chaos...all these doctors tangled relationships ending in a depressing way..The break up of Eggie and his husband was a downer...the ER doctor and her past girlfriend parting was another downer and the icing on the cake Max and Helen.... I am so sick of Helen..I hope Max doesn't go to her..I never liked them together. I am hoping next season will be better.

Julia (2022–2023)
8/10
Bon Appetit
1 April 2022
I gave this delightful series a straight 8. I remember watching Julia Child when I was a little girl and thought she was funny. The woman always seemed out of sorts but ended up with the most wonderful dishes...This series gives us a looks at this complex woman's life and it is a joy. I liked the interaction between her and her husband even though sometimes it was strained he must have really loved her. The cast playing her circle of friends are great. Sarah Lancashire is a fine actress and I feel she portrays Julia perfectly. She has her look and voice and mannerisms down pat. I think I will like this one.

Halo (2022– )
8/10
So whats the problem?
26 March 2022
I understand I am a lay person and jumping into the Halo story cold so I am viewing this show with different eyes then some on here. I really didn't understand what the problem was. I know nothing about Halo or the story behind it making me not a Halo gamer or purest. I didn't know who the Spartans were or the military UNC. I don't know who the insurgents are and nothing about the covenant...so this first episode didn't really explain who these people are but for me it was pretty easy to follow and just seeing what was transpiring with all of these characters I somewhat understood it. I am sure I will understand more with more episodes but for now I thought it was really good. How it looks and the graphics looked good to me. I enjoyed it...hey I didn't know anything about The Mandalorian or Boba Fet because I really didn't like Star Wars and ended up loving these two series and with each episode I came to understand who these character were. I think it will be the same with Halo. I refuse to bash this series after just one episode. I usually wait until the 4th episode before I review a series but this first one in my opinion was good and peaked my interest. My opinion is totally different than the people who play Halo or read about it. Frankly I am glad I don't know any of those things so I can give this series a fair review and try to enjoy what I am watching.

This is my review after the 6th episode. Like I said with the previous review I still like this series. I still don't get all the hate but I am enjoying it anyway. Now I know who John is and and know how the Spartans came about. I still feel this is a 8 and this series is well worth the watch..

The Rookie: Real Crime (2022)
Season 4, Episode 16
5/10
come on guys
14 March 2022
This was the worst episode I have seen on the Rookie. I hate when a series has a episode where they are on a docu. It is never good. I didn't even watch all of the episode. I love the Rookie but really guys stop doing this. It's never entertaining and frankly it gets on my nerves. Why a drama series does this is beyond me, so stop it.....what will be next where they all sing through the episode, that's next. Stop messing around what makes this series good...

After Yang (2021)
4/10
Paint dries so slow
13 March 2022
I kept thinking while watching this movie was is this all there is? The movie literally was like watching paint dry...I probably would get more out of watching the paint. This movie is dull and I didn't get anything out of it. It was like a art movie that you don't get anything out of. I didn't like this movie at all. I couldn't stand the tone of voice the actors were using..almost like they were whispering in a monotone. A very boring dull movie. Not my cup of tea so to speak....

Time Travel
13 March 2022
I was excited waiting for this movie. I love time travel movies. I didn't expect that this movie would be so silly. I know this was a comedy but I wish they had played it straight. I think the emotional impact would have been more with out all of the comedy which I didn't think it was all that funny. It just came off as silly. I love Reynolds he can be pretty funny ie Deadpool..and he is usually comedic in his movies but he could have played it straight with a few jokes. I didn't hate this movie, but I didn't love it either. I think the story would have been better without all the wise cracks..

Star Trek: Discovery: Species Ten-C (2022)
Season 4, Episode 12
8/10
As treky as it comes...
11 March 2022
Really what is wrong with the people on here...giving this a 1 is ridiculous. I am beginning to think either they are not really watching it or they just want to pile on negative ratings...This episode was the Star Trekist Star Trek I have seen..I like the interactions between the crew and as in this one trying to work the problem to communicate with a species that communicate so far removed from them...it had the feel of Star Trek TNG episode Darmok and people raved about that one. This was a good episode but I guess I am in the small group that really likes Star Trek: Discovery....

Tall Girl 2 (2022)

What happened?
13 February 2022
Just like others have said the first movie was cute and I liked it. This second movie is a mess. It turned into this cheesy poorly acted terrible mess.... It was painful to watch..I didn't even finish watching it. Complete garbage. Did the actors forget to act between the first movie and this awful second one..not cute like the Kissing Booth 2 or To All The Boys I've Loved Before 2.... Netflix this one was just awful....

And God is the land...
7 February 2022
I guess I am not in the group that doesn't like Elsa. I really like her..I also love the narration. Another excellent episode. This is one of the best westerns made for television I have seen in a long time. The writing is tight and the acting is impactful.

Moonfall (2022)
2/10
umm No!
5 February 2022
Geez louise. I can't even tell you how awful this movie is. I like silly sci fi like the best of them but this was just down right stupid. It was so awful I didn't even think it was fun. This movie is disjointed with poor writing and poor acting. You would think it would be better than this considering these actors. I didn't care one bit for these characters and kept thinking the moon needs to crash and burn and put them out of their misery. Not even a good pop corn flick like many other silly sci fi movies ie, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Geo storm.......no this ignorant movie couldn't even come up to the level of those stilly movies were...Awful, awful movie. One of the worst I have seen for a while....

The Mandalorian (2019– )
9/10
May the force be with you
29 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Started watching The Book Of Boba Fett and I am enjoying it a lot..I never watched The Mandalorian. So I binged watched it. It is a excellent series. If you are a Star Wars fan you will love it also. The acting is good and has a lot of action in it. Good writing makes this a tight series. Loved the interaction between The Mandalorian and baby Grogu...I even got misty a few times because of the expression the baby did. He was the sweetest thing. When Luke Skywalker shows up on the last episode in season 2 I cheered. Great writing, great acting and great story..This series is epic and a awesome watch....

Peacemaker (2022– )
3/10
Um No
13 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Maybe it's me but this was a no for me. Got through the first episode and knew I couldn't watch anymore. It's stupid and silly but not stupid or silly like Doom Patrol which is very funny. Peacemaker was not funny. Not like The Boys. Uses a lot of profanity which in it's self can be hysterical but not so here. I am not a Cena fan. The people in his crew were ignorant including the vigilante guy. He was the only one who got me to laugh once. I knew this was going to be terrible when the female body part selfie was flashed. I won't be watching anymore of this tripe.

Rubbish is a good name for it
13 January 2022
I forced myself to watch all of episode 1 and it took all my strength to do so. The acting was just terrible and so was the writing. I did like the fact it took place in Australia and the opal mines that was different but, the rest of it was not worth watching. I give this one a thumbs down.

Magic
10 January 2022
I am sad to see this one go. Three seasons of Matthew and Diana and I am going to miss them..with magic and romance between vampire and a witch..good tight writing and well acted...Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer had great chemistry together. Each episode was good and held my interest. I count this series as one of my favorites.....

So Fun!
10 January 2022
This has to be the best Spider-Man ever. Can I just say how awesome this was with the three Spider-Men. The different villains that each Spider-Men had in their universe was so fun. I can't hardly wait for the new Dr. Strange movie and the problem he is going to have because he opened the multi-verse in this movie. This was great watching this very good movie.

Hawkeye (2021)
9/10
Enjoyable
23 December 2021
Now this season is over I thought I would review it. I like the back and forth between Renner and Hailee I thought it was cute. I thought the action in this series is pretty good. I was finding that I was enjoying Hawkeye more than the Falcon and the Winter Soldier series. I hope they make a season 2 of both series. I am enjoying this MCU series for television..I haven't watch Wanda Vision yet but plan to, but Hawkeye was always my favorite Avenger....

Epic
19 December 2021
I usually wait until the 4th episode before I write a review or rate a series. I don't need to do so with this series. Such a sprawling story, rich, gritty, sad, hardship. A epic story that has all the elements that make a series great. I love a good western..this is a great western....some one said it was a Lonesome Dove feel to it and I agree..what made Lonesome Dove great was the excellent story telling and this one has the same elements to it..great writing and fine acting. I love the daughter's voice tell the story it adds a depth to the story. This will be one of my favorites just like Yellowstone is. I was worried how this series would be because Yellowstone is so good..but, this series it top notch..

A Christmas lump of coal
6 December 2021
I gave this movie 4 stars for the castle which looked beautiful with all of the Christmas decorations and for the sweet dog Hamish...I cringed watching wax faced Brook Shields. What has happened to her. I couldn't believe she is only 56..she appeared so much older. Cary Elwes is 59 and looks so much younger than her. The romance looked so fake because they had no chemistry together. The accents of some of the actors Elwes included was nails on chalk board awful. If you threw in other actors that at lest had good chemistry together then the movie wouldn't have been so bad.

Fest for the eyes
26 November 2021
Just watched the 4th episode. I like to watch at lest 4 episodes before I rate and review a show. This one passed the smell test. I have enjoyed each episode so far. The visuals are awesome, a fest for the eyes...it have some reminiscent of GOT in the way the story is being told. Each character is well acted and the story is good. This is a good one and well worth the watch.

He wears the brand
15 November 2021
I have not reviewed this series before, no reason I just haven't. What can I say that others haven't said. This is the most well written and acted series. Someone said it was like a modern day show like the movie Giant. I feel that way also...but, John Dutton and the boys are nothing like Bick Benedict. John and his family are non forgiving and will kill you if you hurt someone in the family and leave you in a ditch or hole somewhere. He commands loyalty and honor the brand that is put on your chest. The back drop is beautiful and blood and grit is intertwined into that land. This truly is a 9 star, I don't give those out very often but this series deserves it..It is in it's 4th season and it has not lost any momentum. Kevin Costner did good with this one.
