Flatbush Misdemeanors (2021–2022)

Unique and real

[7/10 · 13 June 2021]

I like this show. The interesting characters and authenticity. Many won't "get it" and others won't give it enough of a chance, which is apparent from many of the 1 star reviews. But this show is cool.

The Comey Rule (2020)

Incredible Casting and Scripting

[9/10 · 30 September 2020]

Shows aren't made much better than this one. The cast is incredible and the intricacy of the plot unfolds in a fantastic way that is slow yet explosive and, again, well-portrayed.

Holly Hunt is a treasure and Jeff crushes the lead role. The costars from shows like Big Love, Breaking Bad and House of Cards are all a delight and that's not everyone.

This is a "must watch" for fans of political drama

Knives Out (2019)

Just okay

[6/10 · 28 November 2019]

Mildly entertaining with a great cast and high production value. The story is soft but not awful. I can't imagine saying this film deserves more than a 6.

Get Shorty (2017–2019)

A perfect blend of pulp and pop

[9/10 · 20 October 2019]

I love this series and it keeps getting better. The cast is incredible and each new addition is a joy. Through the first two seasons I put this show alongside any other of the same variety. By that I mean a show where you have a suspension of disbelief and a surety that the main characters will persevere despite the circumstances.

Captain Marvel (2019)

A great addition

[8/10 · 10 March 2019]

Brie Larson crushes it. Point blank, nuff said, and she is a welcome addition to the Marvel Fam as are Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn; who both add depth and complexity to the Universe. Standing out though was Lashana Lynch, aka the scene stealer! Sam L. does his thing and it is cool to learn some of his character's backstory. All in all, this is a very good addition to the Marvel storyline.

Who Is America? (2018)

Challenging and remarkable

[9/10 · 19 July 2018]

Cohen is freestyling here; no retakes and he brings an amazing depth to the characters. Just remarkable performance art. The premises of the acts in episode 1 range so widely and go so far that I was shocked and captivated while watching and was left thinking about the layers that Cohen cut through with unparalleled satire. When the gallery manager says "oxymoronic, paradoxical juxtapositions" I was floored. If there's something to comment on constructively, I'd say that the makeup/costumes are laughable but maybe that part of how the audience that knows his work so well are let in on the joke.
