Death and Other Details (2024)
Potentially interesting to a boring mess
To give one positive if you got to watch this on a binge versus week to week that would certainly be a little bit better. But I certainly can't recommend it period it's a terrible mess.
The reveal Is horrible. The show is so uninteresting, boring, and convoluted, that you stop caring and find yourself trying to remember what's going on anyway.
Of course within 2 episodes we have to do sex. Multiple different characters, adding absolutely nothing. Complete waste of space.
Characters have various idiosyncrasies - ok, cool, only to lead to nothing.
If AI wrote this, it wouldn't be a surprise. It's a jumbled hodge-podge mess with an insulting and lackluster climax.
Masters of the Air (2024)
Thus is not flying band of brothers
There is so much wrong in so many places. And cashes in on every cliche there is. Navigators with air sickness when they've been through flight school, what a joke. Incorrect radio and intercom calls. Getting lost flying to England, ending up in France? And turn south? Wearing caps on flight line, with engines running! A 24 year old major with beautiful hair that chews on a toothpick because he's from Wyoming. They could have started with training like band of brothers, nope, they start in a bar of course with modern cover model beautiful women. A cross wind landing! You mean what pilots and planes do? No flap landing! Oh, because that's what pilots do. Did they get any pilots or b-17 guys on this show? And of course they're constantly in service dress. Go to mess? Service dress. Working the flight line? Service dress. What a waste. An opportunity to actually walk through a mission day from various positions and how formation bombing works is lost, and just glossed over with "we fly to have a kill box" . This is a soap disguised as band of Brothers wannabe.
Class of '09 (2023)
There was an idea here, but
It's a mess. It is absolutely comical how far removed from actual FBI training this is. FbI training is fairly intense with any downtime going to personal training and studying. You got 6 months to do or fail. And of course their doing sex and worried about romance. Oh and applicants train hard on their own before showing up. Fat guy, people never picked up a gun....ugh.
The idea that there's way to much info for a human to sort through needed AI is a good idea.
Of course woman both have it worse and are better themes are there.
And just general silliness like taking a bus from Quantico to Atlanta on a day trip to see Martin Luther king's house. Lots of silly things like this.
Should have been better science fiction and focused on the overwhelming information, the dawn of artificial intelligence, the impacts on the legality from the American constitution, and laws and believes.
Fate: The Winx Saga (2021)
A school of magic with "teenagers"
Heard of that before? Since HP netflix has 20 of these shows. The "teenagers" are played by 24 year olds. One guy is 28. At least in the horrible syfy show magicians they pretended the 30 year olds were in college.
Narcissism and hedonism abound. You'll root for the bad guys to elimate all these whiny pretentious girls and weak p whipped males. At some poimts it breaks into a music video. Which is how the witch beaches get UNLIMITED POWA.
Would you ever want any of these characters in your life? Only if you think real housewifes is a good show with good people.
Ah and "the adults" . Of course they lie and keep secrets! And parents! They lie and keep secrets and send their 26 year old off to magic boarding school.
But errbody is very pretty. Of course that means many gay relationships amd 3 ways! Because thats how teenagers do it.
The Terminal List (2022)
Addressing how dark it is.
It's absolutely fundamentally ridiculous. It is not your TV , and it's BS these people saying that your TV can't hack it. It was filmed with filters and no lighting and it's awful. If it was design as an artistic statement it's also awful because it's 8 episodes of it. So maybe Chris Pratt could be in the darkness, but why is everything else also in the darkness. And what's really crazy is an outdoor scene at night, action, was actually more clear than right there on the beach.
The show is reasonably watchable, but nothing special. The reveals are predictable as heck. This series makes the books seem awful.
All these 9s, 10s, are clearly fake paid accounts pretty sad. Amazon owns this place, always amazing how they have high scores.....not really.
The Man from Toronto (2022)
At this point can Netflix ever right the ship
Do they not have people that watch this stuff? Do they not have people that review that review the scripts and screenplays before getting in to production? Is this all just a matter of throwing poop at the wall to see what sticks?
Spiderhead (2022)
Trash. Utter trash. Like all things netflix now
There was a scifi idea here maybe based on a short story.. Immediately turned to filth trash sex scenes which are abuse and rape. Hemsworth is awful to boot. The way to approach this would have been in a more serious matter. Or maybe just not at all.
Billions (2016)
Go woke go broke
We have jumped the shark with rapinoe and her new "job" . This entire season is awful. Should have ended with chucks final victory over axe. And the references...now so obscure it would make the best jeopardy players at a loss.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
The 9s amd 10s are shills and fan bois
Come on man. Step back and look at this objectively. A boba fett tuskan raider back story? And the Supreme bounty hunter clone extraordinaire gets Stockholm syndrome over the people that intended his death? No meat on this show either. Standard disjsy short shows. Just bc it says fett doesn't mean its good.
Nisser (2021)
Interesting idea here, but
Ruined as Netflix is want to do. Shallow characters and dumb moves and motives. A tight well written 2 hr movie could have been a hit. Netflix can do better and should. Put some meat on them bones and give characters depth and not cutouts.
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)
So bad it hurts
There's absolutely nothing redeemable about this movie. A magic gem, giant snakes bigger than a car. Nothing to do with GI joe and source material. Granny killing trained swordsmen with a fan.
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
I liked the first one well enough
This is like a crass stoner version. Except not even funny if you're high. Salma talks about her big boobs and tight woo ha? Really? No plot eeither. Don't pay for this.
Sweet Girl (2021)
Been done 100 times,
And 95 were better. He even makes a big jump in the water like the Fugitive. We actually stoped watching on big TV and put on phone to go shopping. And the reveal was so easy to see coming.
My Blind Brother (2016)
Not funny
Just dull and uninteresting and not funny ever. And quite asinine in a few parts.
Motherland: Fort Salem (2020)
How tv ruins an idea 107735
Witches that use powers to defend America! Sign me up! Thats the only interesting thing about any of it. If you're a witch...you have no free will....no choices. You also get powered up from sex orgies. Your leader is a meglamaniac narcissist thats sucks other people's life force so she never dies. You know know virtually nothing about the enemy. But it makes sense theyd fight against this tyrannical witch force. Its junk. And all these 9s and 10s are like almost all 9s and 10s hete.
Big Timber (2020)
Good topic ruined....standard tv ops
The endless fast cuts jump cameras alone make this show awful. And unlike the early years of the gold shows, very little education. And apparently this dude can't maintain and organize his equipment. And is a hoarder of sorts.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Just a rich man's ghost hunter show
Amazing that people could have this much disposable income, And use it to hunt aliens.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Another over rated hbo show
Everyone's miserable, everyone lies. A reality drama that doesn't function like reality. Oh everyone covers up for everyone too. And everybody knows everybody and goes to the same church except for the guys killing kidnapping girls guy.
Shadow in the Cloud (2020)
Its not awful, but its a mess
Start as a woman in a box movie and I thought it was gonna have the strong themes and symbols about her life, then it's, I dont know, another movie.. Chloe is the movie so I can see her trying to amp her star power by showing a good lead, but its a mess of a script and vision.
Without Remorse (2021)
Lolololololo
Lolololololo
When I realized it was a joke, it all made sense.
Stargate Universe (2009)
what a mess
Im arriving 11 years later after watching SG1/SGA. And SGU is horrid. Everything about the military in this show is wrong. A Colonel hitting on/sleeping with another Colonels wife while he is "deployed" if you will? Are you kidding me? A SNCO that has discipline problems and anger issues is on an elite unit? A full Colonel, and a couple of LTs, but no majors or captains? And LTs wouldnt be on a special team THAT GOES TO OTHER PLANETS, anyway, unless they were very close to railroad tracks. And the Colonel is a poor leader. The ranks are wrong - no buck sergeant in the Air Force. Its SrA, SSGT, TSGT. The say they have limited bullets, but spray away at times anyway. And why are the LTs ALWAYS armed on their own ship, with their own people, and not just slinged, but at ready arms. Are they going to shoot the very civilians they are theyre to protect. Oh yea, that happens. And theres another "sergeant" with massive discipline and mental issues, kills himself. What a great pick for a specialized tactical interspace unit! And the colonel argues with our famous SG1 Commander, now General, but offers no explanation to his thinking, just "Im not sure".
There's unneeded sex scenes. Theres constant hostilities by people that ARE SPECIALIZED, ELITE, LEADERS, Hand picked (civilian or military) to GO TO OTHER SOLAR SYSTEMS. No professionalism. No seriousness.
SG1/A was a cheese soap opera that became a friend of sorts. SGU is the serious wanna be that has nothing serious. No real science, no real leaders and professionals. Its more of a real soap opera than a space opera - all the back stabbing and betrayals. A pack of meany flies drinks 50,000 liters of water?
Im shocked at the ratings and reviews. Must have been some serious fan boi SG1 going on when this show came out.
Vanquish (2021)
Keep pushing the awful Ruby Rose
And she keeps tanking. Sometimes the internet gets it right. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Science Fiction Volume One: The Osiris Child (2016)
I thought i found a secret treasure
Then it was an 80s b movie. A strong sci fi theme and start, then just bad. Tightened up and no creature feature camp...could have been special.
The One (2021)
Another sci fi dud with great concept
Netflix has done it again. An interesting concept not delivered by lack of exploration, poor acting, and not getting into the science fiction side.
Torden (2020)
Very cool
If this became a trilogy thatd be most excellent. Im a brutally harsh reviewer and this movie is not trash and screw critics. Sorry its not woke enough for you. Nothing wrong with this film.
