Unforgotten: Episode #5.6 (2023)
Can't stand Jess
Jess is a miserable character and a miserable addition to the cast. Finale got very sanctimonious and turned me off. Although for all that sanctimony everyone seems to be just fine with a character lying about what happened because they get to "gleefully" punish someone they don't like. Enjoyed the previous seasons so hopefully they turn away from that and get a new "guv".
Series seemed really rushed as well. They introduce so many characters and different plot lines and just leave them hanging and then don't "resolve" things for most of them. Especially some of the "spouse" characters. Don't bother bringing these things up if you're going to short change the characters at the end because the writers didn't plan well and just need to wrap things up.
The Good Guys (2010)
Funny
The Good Guys is a really easy, enjoyable show to watch that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not your typical cop show. While there are plenty of explosions and shooting there are more than enough laughs. If you take the show too seriously some of the lines will rub you the wrong way, but taken the way the show is meant to be watched they are hilarious. All characters, even the bad guys, have slight comedic idiosyncrasies about them that isn't over the top. It's also nice to see a cop show that doesn't have to take place in New York/Los Angele/Miami.
Dan Stark is going to be a great character. Bradley Whitford's portrayal of him makes me laugh out loud. I hope its given a chance to grow and attract an audience.
