Monster: The Ed Gein Story (2025)

Hunnan's depiction is the main reason we anticipate. He was pitch perfect and sublime. A Joker in the making. Lighting made him appear like a a tight Peacemaker sometimes, at others, detached and always anybody but himself. Casting was challenging. The actor portraying Hitch sounded better than he represented. It was Hitch on Ozempic. Anthony Perkins was tall, skinny as a toothpick and had nervous characteristics that glued him to a psychopath. That was not apparent to the actor portraying him or the one who hired him. Tobe Hooper was unwound? Adeline had moments. Christine Jorgensen was spot on. A man can create life but only a woman can guide it. The frills were sometimes burps between segment changes. It's eeriness was special, the thoughts were well constructed and the monster breaks our heart. Is that right? 07-Oct-2025
The Girlfriend (2025)

The beginning contains many surprises and shifts and entices the audience into believing it is a banger. A psycho with empathy is a conundrum. The talent is wasted, the mystery is excruciating and the characters shift personality too often. I doubt a clenched mother would be friends with such active and critical people. I zigzagged on whom was right and then realized they both can be wrong. The production missed an opportunity to switch it up by not making the son the evil one. 20-Sep-2025
Alien: Earth (2025-)

An A+ assignment that did extra credit. Machines against humanity even as they become. The villains are DC worthy, the human/machine analogy is intriguing and the actors are treating the story with care. It's a joy to be scared without Pazuzu's involvement. 10-Sep-2025
Gilded Age, The (2022-)

Having Gladys marry a foreigner and sending her mother to save her was great. I hope Oscar redeems himself. I hope Marian doesn’t get engaged, ever. I never understood why they were calling the footman a Clock Twink until the last season. Good for him. Adding Rashad as a villain is right up her alley. She and Audra need to take it to the streets. I felt Aunt Gladys’ pain and how hilarious she was. Mr. Russell needs a makeover. They found the bullet that can strike through Bertha’s heart and it was impressive. I disliked Nathan Lane’s southern depiction from beginning to end. The accent was awful. 25-Aug-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
Squid Game (2021) 

S3 brought back what was missing in the second season, clever games and family heartbreak. I gave up on the technical side because I know it won't add up and it would skew my opinion but they shot through our hearts in subtle and beautiful ways. The trans was heroic and sympathetic, the grandma broke our hearts and the lead was magnificent. That face. I finally understood his character, his pride and redemption. The extra game member seemed gimmicky but it worked because it got to the heart of the matter. Knives and keys was a gripping episode because of the surprises, heartbeats and bravery. The games were creative and scary as fuck. The asides halted the momentum and achieved little purpose but the detective was pretty as fuck. The actors were a crew and they showed it. It isn't better than the first but it's a fitting end. 04-Jul-2025
S2 is missing something. Impact. A feeling of exhaustion permeated and interrupted some of the proceedings. The games didn't rivet, the cast was stereotypically goofy, compassion was limited and sense started to drag. The ship shenanigans didn't have closure or purpose. I presume the save will be last minute in S3. Thinking you can overtake a heavily guarded facility is ludicrous. In life I doubt that a majority of people would choose to die. I wanted to see people go home. Why doesn't anyone hook up? A grab and a rub here and there wouldn't hurt. How do the men deal with morning wood? I'm losing empathy. 04-Jan-2025
If you can't afford happy things, you become bitter, if your are unable to provide, you become addicted and if you can't eat, you die. It's called poverty. A group of instinctual individuals are given the opportunity to have their financial struggles resolved. They have to play children's games that are only safe in rhythm but not rhyme. If you lose, you die. If you win, it's a lot. The characters are specific, writing is a brainstorm and the whole is an abundance of I've never seen anything like this before. 07-Oct-2021
S1E7. The VIPs were from Palm Springs. 05-Oct-2021
S1E4. I am petrified and addicted. 01-Oct-2021
Too Hot To Handle (Spain) (2025-)

S1E3. I can handle my native language but I couldn't understand the lingo so I English dubbed it with English cc. Somehow I got the full picture. Latinos are horny by nature and subtracting an "o" or "s" is not going to make it less so. Enrique Sanchez Ortiz was made at a sex doll factory with a missing something in between and I don't mean his anaconda. I fell over when I saw Sarah's hair. It was trying to best The Survivors' hair queen but was too messy to contend. Jose Buogo was so hot that I had to take a shower in order to cum thinking about him. That ass! That fake manliness! Luis photographs better than he looks but I'd still fuck him. Yeah, the new hottie is interesting to fuck at least once but tattoos on a girl's thigh makes them look dirty. Sanitation pick-up dirty. 17-Jun-2025
Summer Job (2022-)

I chose dubbed because illiterate text is not better than AI. I brushed it away as a dumb reality show with younglings fumbling their way through limited success. The hostess was a Gidget whose pleasantness made the pills go down easy. The Eros dude was as mesmerizing as his illusions. Beauty sells out only once. Sam knows that and then some. Culture might as well as be in charge of trash duty because there was nothing memorable about them. Spoiled children get taught a lesson that questions what they contribute to the outside world. It was embarrassing and exploitative but a point was made. The world is parenting children because parents don't have the time. The show humiliates children for crying over washing dishes, moving chairs, math, thought, planning, mopping, cooking, walking, carrying, decorating and serving, et al. It isn't all their fault. The parents equipped them with no survival skills. 09-Jun-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
You (2018-2025)

Joe Rosenberg is little boys raised to woo a woman like only a fake prince could. Male awakenings are destructive and mentally detrimental. The premise simplified things to improve characterization. Good choice. A happy marriage to a foreign twat and reunited with a relinquished child, Joe is living the life of a planner, pioneer and romanticist. The wife has secrets and Joe has plenty of funny quips to unlock them. Joe's flubs were used to diminish his endurance as a famous serial killer. He was brushed off. Bringing people back from the dead, unless it's Ripley, Xena or Buffy is detrimental to reality. Women need an army to bring one man down. What a waste of taxpayer's money. Meet and greet with couple psycho could have been more casual, less criminal and more romantic. Ms Camp steals and saves a lot of her scenes because it took me a while to recognize her as another character and because I laughed when I found out. Pen went there and was brilliant. His breakdown was cathartic. The ladies reinforced that what restrains a man isn't himself but a notion. My finale would have consisted of him going Jason Vorhees on everybody without the mask, a bare chest, naked, weopanized and killing to the max. 10-May-2025
It gassed up, almost made it out of the parking lot, but got blindsided by a food truck. What is the commonality between the women Joe obsesses over? They are very different. At least now he can afford to buy more cages. 12-Mar-2023
S3E9. The dork talks to dead people, now? It's a lazy writing gimmick. Who's bankrolling the fancy cages? Why is the entrance to the cage not padlocked? How do people shit in that cage? Shouldn't they, at least, be wearing diapers? Why do all movie assholes like to be tied up? Greg Kinnear seems to be the only one that understood the assignment. 12-Mar-2023
I heard it gets better but the 2 new episodes I watched seemed like they ran out of gas at the CW parking lot. 12-Mar-2023
It's indifferent to the story. Joe is surrounded by people that are too cliche to make fun of. He is being uncharacteristic, it made me forget what his fetish is and he has no equal match. 19-Feb-2023
Psycho settles into suburban madness. The psychology is rewritten to fit a desperate suburbanite. Pretension is the clarification of ascension. Psychos don't have bouts of good feelings. If they do it's the reason they're killing. Silence as I listened to Penn Badgley make me laugh, hurl and cum. Respect to Victoria Pedretti's restraint as a frustrated woman. Shalita Grant filled her empty cup. Travis Van Winkle enshrined it. Dylan Arnold needed more daddy laps. Tati Gabrielle was feathery. Daddy Speedman needed Dylan Arnold to sit on his lap. The whole was to make a monkey out of me. I love that shit! 02-Nov-2021
Leave it to California ("the Hellmouth") to turn a serial into a romantic victim. The pyschology was bi-polar and the disentanglements were happenstance and charred. I'm not excited to see a third season. 31-Dec-2019
The thrill of the cum trampled by a kick in the balls. The delicacies of love entrenched by intrinsic mind bending. Badgley steals the crown structuring the depth of his humanity and indignation. 20-Apr-2019
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
White Lotus, The (2025)

I celebrate Mike White on his merits, introspective moments, overall arcs and emotionally violent closures. Patrick had daddy dna and Tom Cruise energy. Lek established herself legendary by being unforgettable. The tooth fairy sprinkled fairy dust and allowed me to relax in her vulnerable world. Goggins ignited me when he played trans with luscious boobs and biker milf status. His best performance moments were in his eyes and his beautiful teeth. Parker Posey was its biggest draw but was saddled with a shadowed ending. Jason Isaacs has super daddy capabilities. Every time I saw him I wanted to throw him down and suck his daddy pain away. The besties grew but didn't resolve. I'm glad momma had a happy ending but she could have reached that goal by selling her son. He was gorgeous. Valentin had phony act charm that kept him fuckable. Gaitok's becoming was heartwarming. The big mystery: she's alive isn't she? 08-Apr-2025
Adolescence (2025)

Each episode was filmed in one continuous shot. I thought that would distract me from enjoying it. "Oh, shit, I missed out on what they're saying because I was too busy studying shots." There is a short adjustment period but it's worth it. The subject matters. Boys are lost in a world that wants to soften them whilst expecting heroic things. The only way a man can break a woman's power is to rage and destroy. The boy feels inadequate and his audience is judging him. The family are all about honor and doing the right thing. The dad had great reactions, the protagonist frustrated like a real child, I can watch black daddy cop run all day, the psychiatrist's facade crumbling was classic talent, it took me forever to find out what that last word meant and all the support was great. The chase didn't stumble, the cameras kept moving, actors knew their places, writing was thought provoking and it was realistically accurate. It was about adolescence and the adults who shape them. 27-Mar-2025
Married At First Sight (2014-) 

Michelle enjoyed proving the pineapple was rotten a little too much. I could feel the joy jumping up and down inside her. He cheated with Madison because she asked him questions. If that were true he should have banged the shit out of Michelle for asking if he cheated over a 100 times. Liev Schreiber got screwed by trusting anyone besides himself. I'm surprised Karla didn't fuck the pineapple herself. I'm surprised her husband didn't fuck the pineapple himself as well. 12-Feb-2025
S8E14. Emem tried to make a statement that involved math and reading but he failed. 06-Feb-2025
S8E13. Liev Schreiber with Dustin Hoffman's voice was castigated for insinuating that he was assigned a hooker. As soon as he speaks I forget who the fuck she is, She didn't dispute the allegation either. Spooky eyes is relegated to inferior status and cat nip licks without reciprocation. She's a dog? It appears like Pineapple mixes with other fruit and sizzles like a cocktail. The Juan and Karla segments reminded me of old movies. He's a closeted gay thespian that was not aware he had to perform straight sex in order to get paid. "Oh fuck!" is written all over his face. Does Emem gain 130,000 dollars just for marrying Ikechi? Pastor wielding his power by agreeing with both parties and executing no arrests was shameful. PASTOR CAL: "Just have sex brother, trust me, it's primo shit. We had it tested!" Pia's gesture as a sex counselor was for the man to become a pussy while fucking the shit out of her. With what?! 29-Jan-2025
Can that husband just come out already? How many complaints can he file? Scared of pussy much? He might want to check his preference sheet more carefully. Pastor Cal represented audience sentiment but that fucker didn't budge much. The experiment would experience more happy endings if the contestants were provided constant therapy. 18-Jan-2025
Pia closed shop and failed. What part of being grossed out by a pineapple does the expert not understand? Her job was to separate them into safe spaces, not force her to be in an abusive relationship. It's abusive because Michelle can't stand being with him. Her approach was insulting to me and it was horrendous to women. 18-Dec-2024
S18 E9. I hope Pia got paid extra for doing all the work. There were instances where it felt dangerous for her to confront hostility and the sexual accusations from some of the contestants. Ikechi made it very clear that flirtations from females over 13 years old are offensive. Pia handled herself professionally but the space remained unsafe. Karla is overcome by Juan's beauty. He came on the show to pay for the rest of his plugs so his millionaire boyfriend can pull them. Dude, I'm afraid to ask these guys if they sew. It might be unanimous. I know for a fact that David doesn't sew or do much of anything. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a hut made out of jell-o. Michele needs to be released, a marching band following, David watching, everybody saluting as the whole staff gives him the middle finger. Allen gives me Dustin Hoffman/Liev Schreiber anxiety. Madison always looks like she'd rather be an avenue. I would dig Thomas harder if he didn't snarl so much. It's not a regular snarl either. He really looks angry and rapey. 18-Apr-2024
Designing Women (1986 - 1993)

The characters are strong, the funny keeps you laughing, the writing was pensive, passionate and controversial, the originals were fabulous and a black man in a girl's dress is always funny. Once Suzanne and Charlene depart the sizzle and purpose is gone. A talented trio of actors become shadows of the characters they were replacing without a voice of their own. The fatter Delta Burke got the funnier she became. You can feel the antagonism in the writing though. She was saddled with savage criticism and disdain but her talent was her shield. We could have done with less Julia fits but nobody could sell it like Dixie Carter. She was legs, elegance and conviction. Annie Potts liberated herself and her character. She sounded like she could give birth to a McConaughey. Jean Smart aced dumb and won our hearts. The last two seasons are somber and desperate. TG Alice Ghostley and Mr. Taylor are there to be irreverent and hilarious. 30-Dec-2024
