The Flight Attendant (2020)
Very Choppy
There were parts of The Flight Attendant that I loved...and then there were parts that I thought were pretty bad. I know that the script was designed to be chaotic, but at times, the show was too all over the place and disjointed. "The Flight Attendant" never really knew what it wanted to be.....A spy novel? A triumph of a recovering alcoholic? A horror movie? I thought the second season was way better than the first season. I could almost tell which writers were better by the script and dialogue. In my opinion the most interesting character was the obsessed podcast groupie fan. I can't remember her name, but every moment she was on screen she was hilarious and interesting. And last but not least, Kaley Cuoco is sexy and nice to look at. If you like Kaley, then don't miss The Flight Attendant. Easy Does It!!
Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)
Negative Review for Anatomy of a Scandal
"Anatomy of a Scandal was so bad, that I made a special effort to log back into IMDB just to lower my original rating of 6. Now I have rated it a 4. This series had way too many dream sequences and blurry special effects along with corny background music. Anatomy of a Scandal was like trying to get through a bad book, just to find out what happens at the end. Each episode was like a chore to watch. One thing that was most shocking was to see a great actress like Michelle Dockery stoop so low as to being in a daytime soap opera like this. On a positive note, there was a whole lot of British court wig wearing on Anatomy of a Scandal. I always thought it was cool the way they always wore those white haired "George Washington Wigs" in court. But generally speaking....you won't be missing out if you skip this piece of garbage.
Ozark (2017)
A "Breaking Bad" Wannabee Show
Ozark is a Great Show. Having said that, I always felt like I was watching a show that wanted to be "Breaking Bad." "Ozark" and "Breaking Bad" are really the same storyline....with the major difference being Ozark is in the money laundering business....and Breaking Bad is in the Meth business. However, there is nothing sexy or interesting about the Money Laundering Business in Ozark. On the other hand, Breaking Bad's Walter White's Meth business is more than just about the money. Walter White is in love with his craft. He takes pride in delivering a quality meth product. For Walter White the making of meth is an art form. He loves what he does. On the other hand, for the Ozark show, the proverbial "Elephant in the Room" is that money laundering just can't be the excitement that Walter White gets when he is making meth. So essentially both stories are the same, but Ozark is just a Breaking Bad wannabe.....and for that matter, Ozark's Marty Byrde is just a Walter White wannabe as well. Bryan Cranston's, Walter White, just might be one of the all time best villain performances.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Surprisingly Bad
I love Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill on their social issues, but for this movie I was expecting so much more from them. I was shocked at how bad this movie was.
Ted Lasso (2020)
Full with Emotion
Most of the episodes left me with a lump in my throat. Likable characters , well thought out storylines written by those who obviously put a lot of thought into the script. Most other comedies are struggling too damn hard to be funny. But "Ted Lasso" has this air of confidence, and took it's time reeling me in. See this one.
The Goop Lab (2020)
The Worst
Due to the racy subject matter I was hoping "The Goop" would live up to the hype. Instead what I saw was an unprepared giggly Gwyneth Paltrow. It was as if Paltrow thought all she had to do was hire sex legend Betty Dotson, have a nice set, and have the editors polish the show's presentation and that would be enough. This was the worst piece of garbage I have seen on Netflix.
In Treatment (2008)
Two Versions of Intreatment
I think the earlier versions of "In Treatment" with Gabriel Byrne were better. The writing in Season 4 (2021) feels a little slow. But in general I do like therapy TV, so I am watching season 4 anyway. Also, the rating scale for "In Treatment" only allows for a single rating for all seasons, so I would rate the earlier versions of the show much higher. One thing worth mentioning.....Uzo Aduba was excellent. I wish that some of the patients were more interesting though.
The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021)
"Last Letter" gets a 6; Felicity Jones gets a 10!
If you like Felicity Jones, then see "Last Letter." Felicity Jones is smokin hot!!
The Woman in the Window (2021)
I was Shocked At How Bad this Movie Was
I was Shocked At How Bad this Movie Was. It was a chore to watch this movie to the end. I was looking at my iPhone out of boredom for the entire second half of this movie.
Us (2020)
Horrible Except for Sofie Grabol
This had to be the most moronic ridiculous plot I have ever seen. A broken family whose father runs from European to European city chasing after his 17 year old son as if Armageddon was about to happen at any second. The only saving grace was the sexy performance of Sofie Grabol, who played the only interesting character you wanted to see more of.
Good Girls: Au Jus (2020)
Beth Boland is Not Walter White
Great show except for when it tries too hard to be "Breaking Bad." I'm sorry, but I am calling out the writers for trying to make Beth Boland's description of making counterfeit money sound like Walter White's passion for the artistry of cooking the perfect Meth. Dan Quayle is no Jack Kennedy, and Beth Boland is no Walter White!!
Uncut Gems (2019)
Great Movie, But Stressful.
Great movie, but stressful. There was no let-up. It was like run, run, run, and then get punched in the face. As far as acting, it was Adam Sandler's best film. Honestly, Sandler is better in a serious film than he is in a comedy role. Julia Fox was excellent too.
The Cakemaker (2017)
Great Movie, Quiet and Powerful
Loved it. Without giving it away and for those who have seen it.....Does Anat go into the Cafe?
Game of Thrones (2011)
This Show is Almost a Perfect 10
I originally gave this show a 10, but after the poorly scripted final season, I changed it to a 9. Still one of the best shows ever.
