The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022– )

Pathetic

[2/10 · 4 September 2022]

Pathetically sad attempt. I can't fathom this would capture the ongoing attention of viewers. Feels incredibly slow with zero imagination. It's all been done before. The fleeting moment of the children and the origami sailboat was cute but conclusively dull. On the whole it's just so typically copy cat of other worthwhile entertainment of years past. A collection of "pretty people" in costume is not a storyline, especially not as an introduction to a series. For viewers of low expectations it may suffice. If the intent was to leave no room for anywhere but up...goal achieved. Go back to the drawing board.

Black Summer (2019–2021)

Snooze

[3/10 · 21 June 2021]

Exceptionally slow moving and disjointed. However, even under those conditions Jaime King's performance is outstanding.

Brave New World (2020)

Has potential

[4/10 · 25 March 2021]

A bit of a sleeper but the premise is decent. Some of my favorite actors are featured.

The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)

Sad copy

[1/10 · 13 October 2020]

Same old, same old theme a bit overdone. Overacting by Bailee Madison particularly pathetic.

The Leftovers (2014–2017)

Waste of time

[1/10 · 19 May 2020]

Slow moving, negligible acting, mediocre plots, simply nothing to recommend it.

A Bundle of Trouble: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery (2017 TV Movie)

Is Aurora as half witted in books as in these shows?

This character never does the smart thing. In every crisis she makes the most foolish moves. Like running out of a house after 2 of her companions are shot to chase a perp. She already made the mistake of leaving her phone in a car. Does she stop on her way out of the house to call authorities? No, she starts chasing.

Aquaman (2018)

Outstanding

[10/10 · 6 March 2019]

Every bit of every comic I ever owned and every cartoon I ever watched brought to life!

I Am the Night (2019)

Lacks

[5/10 · 4 March 2019]

Though the acting is good, the fact that the program moves at a snails pace to try to create a lengthy story line where none exists is just sad. Might have been better as a 90 minute movie.
