Spider-Noir (2026)

S1E8. The Spider is a bumbler whose superpowers lack hutzpah and is usually beaten to a pulp. Black Cat is just a chick called Cat that doesn't even own one or scratches. Why didn't someone throw water on Electro? Sir Nic and Gleeson provided gravitas. The excuses to avoid action were obvious and disappointing. 05-Jun-2026
S1E3. The series is handsome and gets little wrong but I don't look forward to watching it. TV comic book adaptations are limited by a lack of scope. Hours of talk for a dash of action. Stitching gangster cliches for credence is window dressing. Bewitched was more dedicated to action than the current most. Even when the effects ended up crappy, the artists learned from them and moved on. They never quit. 02-Jun-2026
Boroughs, The (2026)

It was perplexing, had a home-schooled child mentality and the whole started to feel tiresome. The legends jumped into a rabbit hole that's endless and repetitive. I expected something different. 26-May-2026
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023-)

S1. Monsters were scarce and sometimes their sequences were repetitive. A fine cast grows tiresome because their feelings shift as much as their location, the script doesn't explore what is the crux of the matter but keeps repeating the same question and they have no home-base for the audience to revisit or remember fondly. Are Cate and May destined for love? They are always holding hands. Sucks for the brother but intriguing for the show. There are no reasons to understand what Monarch's intentions are. Why doesn't anybody ever really die? Son looks just like daddy and it's entertaining to watch them as each other. More monsters or more exciting plot points, please. 17-Mar-2026
His & Hers (2026)

I was entertained more by the performance than the act. Bernthal was a pissy prick with a sing songy accent and ripe for entertainment. I wish the show were its own thing instead of being a requirement. The ending is only great if you believe it. It was an 80's pyschopath's excuse for becoming a killer. Bernthal had chemistry with Tessa and she had chemistry with us. 26-Jan-2026
It: Welcome To Derry (2025) 


S1E8. It survives because of memorable shots. The fog, the gumption, It's eyes sparkling, It skipping, It doing anything. The solution seemed too simplified for such an extravagant showcase. 18-Dec-2025
It was the most frightening yet. S1E7. The best way to honor culture is to be honest and inquisitive. I do not understand what It is, more than when I read the book as a child. It was a hefty book. I read on because a beast's rape of a boy sounded familiar to me. I was born to it. I think Bill betrayed his Pennywise character by acting like a kid pretending to be an adult as a human. It was a letdown. The culture clash is not storytelling but stoning. How is one group better than the other? I kept thinking, if we nixed the adult footage would it matter, more?
PS: when soldier mama asked the accused to get undressed I was confused. How did she hide a black naked man in her car with her underage son from the army? 08-Dec-2025
The babies don't step on cues and are willing to make their characters heart-born. I always resented Charlie Brown for cancelling adults but it should apply here. Every time the children were not present, the momentum faltered. The prequel suffers from grandiosity when it needed to be more intimate. It's how gradually works. It never starts better. Where were these military bastards in the future? I'm confused. Is anybody going to explain why dead boy proclaimed that It sleeps all day and feeds all night? I say, "then why is It terrorizing them during the day? Constantly!" The only acceptable answer is, "he was lying." If all doors to a fantasy are left open, it would create chaos. I suspend disbelief in order to enjoy the story but I can't tolerate the nonsensical. The prequel boggles the part of the imagination I would need to believe. TMI. 29-Nov-2025
Leanne (2025)

Feisty gals is what gets the party going but I'd be satisfied with a Freaky Friday switch for season 2. Kristen Johnson is there to prop up the main, be superfluous and funny. We've seen this before by the same artist. It'd be nice to graduate from hate of everything to something. 13-Aug-2025
Untamed (2025)

Living and working in a forest park makes people cranky. The human existence has adapted to nature by resolving problems like animals. All instincts and fits with little manners. The obsession with Caleb infected the writers as well as the characters. I wanted them to shut up about him too. He should have been used sparingly. It would have made the outcome emotional. The writers placed characters in dangerous situations and didn't allow them the tenacity to save themselves. Nobody yelled "stop the presses" we can't continue until this shit makes sense. The actors are what keeps the show lit. Eric Bana was cowboy perfection, Lilli Santiago brought likability to an overzealous feminist and Rosemary DeWitt pumped her heart in all the right places. It closes the doors to all of its storylines but didn't leave me shivering in the dark. 21-Jul-2025
Black Mirror (2023-)

S7E 1-3. "Common People" held my interest but self destructed because the lessons were cruel. "Bette Noire" induces panic at the threat of another being outsourced by science. If the logic had taken cues from the performers the tale would have sailed. The science needed simpler explanations because current earthlings can't think that far. "Hotel Reverie" was beguiling but miscast it's heroine. The idea that you can enter a pre-existing film is destabilizing. Issa Rae was a stereotype of what a butch lesbian might look like in the 30's. I never sorted her out. She seemed misplaced. Awkwafina was auditioning for future jobs which meant she did well. The episode played it safe, being black, a doctor and lacking lesbian enthusiasm, isn't noble. The first thing film folks from another world would have noticed is how could a black woman attach a horse's tail to her head? The old movie actors tried but the fable failed for lack of passion. 22-May-2025
S6E1. Joan Is Awful is fun until buffoonery steps in. I refused to change my brain frequency to understand it. S6E2. Diversity appeared out of sorts in a Scottish mystery that was dull, basic and predictable. I couldn't wait for it to end. E3. Beyond the Sea. I didn't have to pretend my mathematical rationality was misfiring. Perfectly constructed and understandable. The actors leant it broadway huff and puff. The watts illuminated emotional longing. Aaron Paul had an opportunity to steal and he took it, succeeding in hosting more than one spirit. Josh Hartnett plugs sweaty emotion into an astronaut whose reason for life has ended. Kate Mara is an other. The era suits Mara and her beautiful chops. S6E4. Mazey Day. Resembling Brittney Spears is not reason enough to grant a stranger mercy. S6E5. Trash that you shuck out the window after inspecting it. Beyond The Sea was the exception to mediocrity. It was great. 18-Jun-2023
Four Seasons, The (2025-) 

S1E1. Great artists sharing the same space is never a bad thing. The characters were written for sketches not filmdom. They were stereotypes. Not all boys need to feel like a girl to be gay and mostly predators have boyfriends with thick accents. I love Tina but she was a whisper. Domingo's entrance broke my spirit and I never recovered. The accent on his lover was too much. Less inflection was not considered? I couldn't hear super daddy Carrell because Will Forte was acting mad circles around him. His nervous energy made me nervous. Whatever they were trying to convey was lost on me. Maybe a live audience would benefit it because I couldn't find a reason to hang on. 06-May-2025
Mid-Century Modern (2025)

My elder generation dedicated a lot of time fighting for stereotypes like this to be abolished. The new generation thinks this is an honor. Nathan Lane is camping for Broadway, not television. There isn't a lot of time to establish characterization. It's a fable about the almost departed, living together pretending everything is hunky dory when it's not. Lavin and Lane were misdirected, the black queen is a cliche best not spoken, the theme seems out of date but the ass/leg candy combo made me hungry. Nathan Lee deserved better than a Tootie redefinition and Bomer needs more nude scenes not extra stupidity. Dorothy would be insulted. Blanche would say "get out of here!," Sophia would say, "it stinks!" Rose would play dumb. Stan would convince them to turn trans mid-season for a money tree and a subscription to free cheesecake. 01-Apr-2025
La Palma (2024)

I was invested until the end. The characters had depth and appeal but made little sense. In what world do children overreact because their parents are arguing? Teens don't give a fuck. I didn't understand the rift between mom and dad. He promised to acquiesce to her regiment but chose happiness instead. She dreams of a proper dick that can soothe her needs and hubby acknowledges that by drinking 3 vase beers every night. What's wrong with that? Autism should never be utilized as a gimmick. No regular person would ever figure out those coordinates. They would die. Fake comebacks are exhausting and disrespectful to artists who actually wring emotions out of concept. A disaster movie without climate deaths is like Godzilla with no breath. The parting of the ocean was only seconds. You can't be edgy or effective if the description is it's like Swiss Family Robinson without a budget...or deaths...except that guy in the back. 24-Dec-2024
Agatha All Along (2024)

Rio stole it. Her cackle was magnifico. 01-Nov-2024
No one rocked their costumes and I had no idea what the legend was supposed to be. TG it was all about her. She always sounds dulcet and like she's singing her words. The mythology is too expansive to look up. I can only judge what I see. Billy is not living up to its promise. I keep picturing the actor with a backpack. Hello, Rio. 26-Oct-2024
The twenty minutes away from you know who was a respite. It almost started to sing except it tried a Murf on a Marvel. 18-Oct-2024
I released all my chakras for opinions and they couldn't concede that Agatha was a good actress. I thought the Wiccan was Loki's son. Did the 90's show get canceled because Rupp died early? We need to replace Kath with a Barbra. She, at least can sing. It would also light Patti up. Dark treks are unappealing, the characters are slow to unite and the constant parody is disrespectful to a story that might have soared had it been edited to make us care. It's way beyond my puberty level. 13-Oct-2024
I can't explain what I saw because all I heard were screeching tires speeding through acting school. It's so H.R. Puff n Stuff. She goes one step beyond over and is not convincing in multiple roles. My favorite Wednesday knows what to do. The legends would follow suit except they don't know what they're saying. Agatha gives good face without the elocution to match. I gave her a chance but she didn't convince me. Nothing else matters. 21-Sep-2024
Perfect Couple, The (2024) 



S1E5. Is it really a choreographed dance sequence if we hardly see the legs of the dancers moving? I can get children to do that in their high chairs. Liev Schreiber's character hit a sour note when he sang, became vain for no apparent reason and he sang again, at the beach because the script ran out of words. He's either miscast, or yucking it up. When Lady Nic was in the kitchen talking to the Blunt chick, her marker indicated she was talking to her from our right but she was to the left. Who was Nic talking to? The script was so thin I could only zip through the words. Direction had no perception as to what people need as opposed to what they want. I didn't care for the victim. She spoke on a platform instead of speaking from the heart. 10-Sep-2024
S1E4. It follows its previous achievement like a spiritual intervention. Lady Nic sparkles but has little action. Eve Hanson is an Emily Blunt snoop. I don't understand why she would have liberty to expose private family pieces. Of course, Scooter can come on me bucketfuls but why is he there? Dakota is livening up and I like it. Benji chose to become Frankenstein over Dracula because he knew his monster only liked girls. Liev Scrheiber fits a sexual attraction but not a breathing husband. Subjects are limited, the wait is cumbersome, it's going to cheat but Lady Nic looked Barbie doll great. 08-Sep-2024
Batman: Caped Crusader (2024-)

Serious recreation without inserting creative personality entertainment. Catwoman in a dress is just a drag queen with no sense. Madame Penguin felt gimmicky and in-comprehensive. It's a drastic change of character without a strong backstory to explain it. Couldn't she become The Hen? The Headless Horseman storyline was enough to make the Scoobies snicker. I thought Batman would be more realistic about it. Batman would never tolerate a fat Alfred wheezing into his ear pieces. They turned Harley Quinn into a deck of cards. The ones we never play with. There was not enough clay on Clayface. He's skin and bones and not squishy at all. It toes the line between realism and magic when all it needs is costumes, gadgets and genius. 04-Sep-2024
Love Island UK (2019-) 

Women are pursuing these motherfuckers because there is a cash prize at the end, correct? I don't remember Reuben. There was nothing to latch onto. Josh must choose to be blacker or whiter. Yes, I had a doll that looked like Blade. Hugo combs his hair in reverse. I bet Konnor is a fantastic one nighter. Will must be hung. Joey is a doll. Sean is Jimmy Oleson. Ayo, we pray for you. I would have barbecued Trey like he was a lobster. Moziah reeks of beauty and nature. Ciaran has too many identities going on. 11-Jul-2024
