Elsbeth: Pilot (2024)
Love the show, but not the soundtrack
This show is 'dumb funny' in the best possible way. Elsbeth is a colorful, intriguing character. Watching Elsbeth is like watching a great salesperson give their pitch; you know where it's going, but it's so entertaining that you can't stop watching. Carrie Preston's delivery is so detailed, and the costume desires really know how to make her stand out. This show makes me think of a cross between Columbo and Mary Tyler Moore, but unfortunately it seems like they ran out of budget and had to use soundbites of crappy canned porno music. This would be a great show, if only they would hire some quality composers and invest just a little bit in their sound department.
Like Father (2018)
Good premise with a few surprises, but also corny!
I enjoy the actors, and I really liked parts of this movie. But it was also corny and predictably formulaic. There were moments when they connected elements in ways that surprised me, and I even cried once. But bring the knife, because this one's cheesy!
