The Good Mother (I) (2023)

Do NOT waste 90 minutes on this

[2/10 · 19 January 2024]

Terrible plot, unrealistic behaviors from anyone with a "functioning" brain. Where's the "ending" to this ridiculous movie? Hilary Swank seems to be signing on for "anything" these days.

Every movie should have a beginning, a middle or the "meat" of the story. Then of course, an ending SURE would be nice as well so it can make some kind of sense and have closure. This movie is lacking in so many areas. It doesn't seem finished and as far as I know, there's no PART 2. The title should be "The drunken, terrible Mother". There was nothing GOOD about "Marissa".

Please, do yourself a favor & don't waste your valuable time.

NCIS: Sydney (2023– )

Terrible Acting, No Chemistry Flow

[3/10 · 13 December 2023]

I was so looking forward to watching this, until I actually was. Acting is completely Sub-par. Not to mention the lack of Chemistry between the Actors/Characters. Sooo Awkward, Silly, Unrealistic. It is so far "off baseline" for the NCIS Franchise. I can't even believe it's from the SAME Producers. Is this what is produced from the Writers Strike?? Yikes. No more episodes for me. 5 is already past my "give it a chance" limit.

Storylines have been completely unbelievable. All of the Character's lack personality, and seems very "funny fluff" production. Take it away OR Re-Vamp it. Please and Thank you.

A Complete Bummer.

Alone Australia (2023– )

A little bit of a letdown.....

[3/10 · 22 September 2023]

Well, I was so excited to see Alone in Australia! I think I had too high "Expectations" if I'm being honest. I Love the other "Alone" shows, the people are VERY impressive with their knowledge & skills,many I'm very much in awe of.

I have so many questions... *Why pick Tasmania when they can only use 60 miles for 10 Contestants?

*Why a place where they can't even use a bow, OR homemade hunting tools? I feel like it's a fishing show, except even the fishing spots are really quite ridiculous for it.

*Why pick individuals who aren't out there to actually USE the skills they have on their resumé?

I don't know, but after only 16 days, 4 ppl are only left?? The other "Alone's" have lasted upward of 50-80 plus days before there's only 4 left. I just felt "why bother"? This just didn't feel the same as the others and all I can say in addition to this, is that Gina could win, and it will be the easiest 250K of all the Alone Seasons!! Go Gina! She has the skills, desire, and all the knowledge for that kind of region, being she's a Rewilding Facilitator. Additionally, she just honestly seems to be the most "mentally" strong.

I really enjoy these shows, so I hope there's another season where hopefully the Region they pick AND Contestants are MORE RESILIENT and "Strong-willed". I'm gonna stick with it at this point. I sure hope SOMEONE gets and actual animal for food source tho. I guess they can stone it to death. Good luck to the 4 remaining on 7 episodes in.

Enola Holmes (2020)

Refreshing & Witty

[9/10 · 27 September 2020]

**Must Watch Family Film** Honestly, I must say that I'm very perplexed by the low rating thus far. I whole heartily found this to be sooo refreshing, witty, & very entertaining! It had a wonderful, mysterious, very eventful storyline which fell well within line of the Sherlock Holmes films we've come the love over the years. It's completely unique and I love the "Family friendly" vibe. We NEED more of this right now!! In Fact, I personally would LOVE to see this become an "Original Series"!! Millie Bobby Brown is the Perfect Lead role Cast too. Please check it out and you'll find it truly enjoying and entertaining. Leaving you with wanting more episodes.

Black Cop (2017)

Don't waste your precious time

[2/10 · 28 August 2020]

It started out pretty good, then went ALL over the place ( kind of like the "Black Cop" character) . Literally no flow whatsoever. I really like the main ACTOR too. What a shame. Honestly, I wouldn't want to subject anyone to it's painstaking frustration. Oh, and don't even get me started on the ending.

The Assistant (III) (2019)

Slowest movie I've ever seen...??

[2/10 · 8 August 2020]

I was expecting much more from this movie. Especially since I Love Julia Garner in Ozarks. There was ZERO change in emotion in the entire film and what on earth caused this film to have an "R"rating??? Nothing in it to be rated R. Honestly, I have nothing positive to say about this film. 2 is the absolute highest rating I would give it. Maybe they should've just written a short novel. Terrible.

Hightown (2020–2024)

A female Lead that falls flat...

[7/10 · 27 June 2020]

Honestly, I was looking forward to this series, but as a strong female, I'm rather annoyed with the "addict behavior" glorification. What a shame how she's portraying "Whatever kind of Officer" she's suppose to be. Her behavior is disgusting and would've gotten her fired all LONGGGG time ago, and God only knows what else. The story line, writing, acting and Show would've been Worthy of an 8 if they DROPPED JacQué! Or whatever get name is. I can't stand watching her atrocious scenes. No thanks, tried giving it chances to change my mind, hasn't because of HER character. Got to ep4... So that's where the 4 points came from.. Otherwise it would be 2. "Hightown is a NoGoBlow" . Waste because she's always WASTED.

God Friended Me (2018–2020)

Perfect "Feel Good" SUNDAY Show

[8/10 · 27 April 2020]

I have looked forward to Sunday night TV since this show was developed. I'm in shock that it has been canceled. The ONE of very few network shows ( other than Hallmark Channel) that delivered very heartfelt storylines. I'm very disappointed with CBS's decision. I Pray ( yes, Pray) another station will pick it up. (Hulu, Sundance) maybe? Why let something delivering Positive messages, go? Especially with everything going on right now? Not very smart, actually a pretty bad call, & BIG mistake.

68 Whiskey (2020)

Pretty Insulting, EVEN for a "Comedy"

[3/10 · 6 February 2020]

Well I'm trying to give it a go, some kind of chance, same as others apparently, as I am also reading many other comments. But honestly, it is just "BaD"! For Ron Howard to actually claim the show is authentic and realistic (I'm not quoting him because it was just "along those words" of what he said before the show Premiered, is absolute absurdity. They could've made it FUNNY & TRUE to some form. But these "Character's" have ZERO chemistry and are not funny at all. Sorry... But this one is definitely off my "watchlist". Do not EVER make a movie about our Awesome Military people and NOT be factual or at least, tasteful! Advice to those wondering about watching it... #SKIP

Fear the Walking Dead (2015–2023)

NEW Season¿ NEW storyline.... PLEEEEASE!!

[8/10 · 30 September 2019]

Well, I'm a HUGE TWD show SUPER-Fan, but I honestly cannot take anymore of this "AL" tapes and "Here to Help" Storyline either. I truly hope the writing improves and some excitement is brought BACK to this show!! Honestly, the last thing I wanna do, is have to give a "negative" review on one of my MOST Favorite Tv Shows! So we really need to spend 3 episodes on one character and situation too?? I'm sorry but AL is pretty boring actually IMO too. Now Alicia, Lucia, Daniel please!! If it doesn't improve, I'm throwing in the towel on this... Sadly, but ya. Over it .

Another Life (2019–2021)

Did anyone give it a Chance??

[7/10 · 11 September 2019]

I'm perplexed about the poor ratings on this series. I found it to actually be quite good! I thought the first episode lacked what the 2-5 didn't. But good grief, if anyone at least have it a second chance, I think y'all would be surprised. The writing and acting got much better. The story line is really good. The humor and character exchanges are actually well articulated! It may not be GoT or "Star Wars", but overall, fairly, it definitely deserves 7!! I'm only on episode 6, and Z I'm going to finish it and maybe it could ever up with an 8!? " Lighten up, & Give it a Chance". 👍
