Halo (2022)
Comparisons are always bad...
As someone that never played the game, but loves sci-fi, I am enjoying this show and already hoping for Season 3. With such a big source material from the games, I bet there is plenty of stories to develop. I really like the Spartans, how they are evolving from mere killing machines. I imagine in the video games that's all they need to be, as the player is the character. The special effects are great, aliens are powerful enemies and Cortana the cutest. Only one character has no place for me, Kwan Ha, other than being annoying repeating the same.. "my family are the protectors.." etc, what is her purpose? It feels like there is another storyline to follow that is not interesting so far, just focus on Master Chief and his team.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
Thanks but no thanks
If you expected something like the movie, this is not. If you didn't watch the movie, you might find it just OK.
Too slow sometimes, funny not much, action not enough. A show about relationships, in the world of spies, when you want to see action you have to wait for all the whining, confrontations, the "you better than me"... first.
A plus to have different missions each episode, so you can skip the most boring ones.
I watched the whole season but I don't think if another one is made, I care enough to watch unless I have nothing else better.
I honestly was hoping to enjoy this series because I really liked the movie, I was not comparing but this felt too short regardless.
The Good Fight (2017)
They lost me
I watched this show 1 yr after ending when showed up on my new cable subscription, so a bit late on the game but I had to share my two cents.
This show was excellent at the start, the link to The Good Wife was such a great way to bring back some of our favorite characters, the "continuation" was flawless. Too much political content but by now we know how to ignore it and just laugh at it. The 3 first seasons were superb, the 4 started to be a joke and the last ones they should have just saved their dignity while they were ahead and end earlier, because they were just a ridiculous waste of time. Not missing it.
Atlantic Rim: Resurrection (2018)
I lasted 15 mns
In a nut shell, they made this movie when the scripts were running a special of BOGO and the actors agreed to work for $2.99 an hour and a chicken sandwich.
Terrible acting, bad script and sets and props, that looked like found in the salvage yard of the long gone Hollywood studios.
I am sorry but how to describe a movie so awful that more attention went to everything but the story?
I watched the first one and I liked it, happy to see they made another one, but wow! I should have known when none of the actors were familiar to me, I expected a cheap movie, but this one defines the word CHEAP!
Beast (2022)
You go lion go!
When the people in the movie are so stupid, the lion should win.
Just one little detail, with several times the lion trying to get through the window, why they do not roll up the window?
This movie had promise, but I guess the writers thought that the CGI would be good enough to carry the movie, no bother to create believable characters with brains.
No need to get medical background or big cats behavioral traits.
Sad to think that nobody on the production team saw the total joke, this supposed to be thriller was turning out to be, as characters acted in irrational way, acting in total opposite way in similar situation, within 5mi.
Huge let down.
Quantum Leap (2022)
Some seconds are not good
I was excited to see this remake, but I couldn't even finish the second episode. Totally insipid characters, that make the predictable plot boring. When you need to follow a previous storyline you better get creative. This team is not.
In hindsight after the time that has passed since the original Quantum Leap and so many time travel movies and tv shows, to come back to the same thing with new characters, they need more than better, improved special effects to keep the interest. Not sure if future episodes will be good enough to bring new viewers, but those of us old enough to have watched the old series will be gone.
Bye.
End of the World (2018)
Funnier than SNL
I know... this is as low as a movie can go. The family are the clever ones? The ones that know where to go, yet the movie makes them the magnets for the problems, they follow them only 😂😂
I wanted to laugh at the middle school level script, sorry kids.
I laughed a lot, so gave them a 2.
Deputy (2020)
Ignore the law, really?
This is the new hero? A law enforcement officer that ignores the laws HE chooses? Leave the politics out of our shows! Is not enough with the lesbians in every show? Now ignore the law as well? I was looking forward this show and after 15 minutes I had enough!

The Conners (2018)
Destined to tank
You can NOT have a show whose success is due to a character and main cast member, continue without her. Like to have a hamburger without the meat patty or a bottle of champagne filled with water... the supporting cast, even the talented Mr Goodman, are a constant reminder that this show is a wannabe, taking advantage of what Roseanne Barr created.
The mother died because opioids and they seem to have trouble containing the smiles... not watching!
Siberia (2013)
For those that love the unexpected
It's sad to see that this great show is not getting the support that deserves, because (according to those posting on their official FB page).. 1) they were disappointed to find out it was a fake reality show (I guess they would have loved it if people died for real?) 2) the acting is bad (they do not understand they are actors, trying to be seen as regular people, with all the awkward action and speech?) 3) too many hard to believe situations, mistakes showing location, props.. (don't they understand is fantasy/drama?)
My point is NBC has created a show that was under some people's ability to grasp. A great drama/fantasy/horror show, that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. A great trip for those that love to escape reality, and are getting something "real", with no need of monsters, vampires or aliens. Just plain suspense.
There is a petition going, found on their FB page, to keep this show going, the possibilities are endless and up to their creative team of writers.
If you love to be kept scared and guessing, this is the show to watch. Pass the word, and I hope more viewers give it a chance.
