Invasion (2021–2024)

Very slow and boring. Little action just soppy emotional hand wringing drama

[3/10 · 24 September 2023]

Show is slow and boring. Plot is all over the place and often nonsensical. Little action for a sci fi alien invasion series. Main characters are overly dramatic and make strange decisions. Characters are wrapped up in their own emotional dramas and whining. Episodes drag on and little happens. Gave it a long run and watched up to Season 2 episode 5 but have stopped watching and given up. Hoped it would get better but no luck. Writers need to stop with the soppy nonsensical emotional character drama and create a plot that has some action, exposition, logic and consistency. I wonder why companies put millions of dollars behind shows like this without even meeting the key factors for show success. Oh well another missed opportunity from Apple TV.

Too slow and meandering

[4/10 · 12 February 2022]

Stopped watching after four episodes. Started well but quickly became slow and confusing. A lot of tropes were introduced like time-travelling, occult, religious aspects etc. But no progress being made in plot and nothing exciting happening. Gave up.

Headshot (II) (2016)

Great action flick

Great action, quite bloody though. Lead actors did an excellent job.

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

Boring and tedious

[2/10 · 16 October 2018]

I'm more than halfway through the first series, and am disappointed with how boring and slow this show is. This is more like a family-based psych drama than horror. The back stories for each character are long-winded and meandering, and any scary scenes are sparse. Got to episode 7 and have given up
