He Slid Into Her DM's (2024)
just awful
Firstly, I couldn't finish this show. I love Alicia and Courtney, but why they took this on and released this drivel is sad. The writing is rediculously bad, and the teen actors are high school calibre.
The editing and piecing together of scenes is horrid. And why on earth is the mother so involved in making her daughter a fame whore? The spawn of hell mean girl should have seen the inside of a juvy facility.
This is why influencers aren't deemed credible nor is the whole online followers thing a respectable way to make money. The superficialness of these people profited into a movie is a sad reflection of self involved trumpican society.
Called to Duty (2023)
Took a chance.......
First image is a disclosure that it is NOT endorsed by DOD and nothing is real, uniforms, slang, etc, nothing. That in itself didn't bode well for it be a credible show.
However, I did make it 45 mins in and figured why not watch the rest. While there is waaaay too much stock footage and the dialogue thin, and some camera work (especially headshots) very amateur , it is definitely not a 2 nor a 10. I give it a halfway 5 and if the sequel gets picked up by Prime or Netflix, it should be a worthy watch, provided those companies don't make a stinker like the last ten movies of theirs I've seen. I needed 23 more characters .
Designated Survivor (2016)
Seasons 1,2 are excellent, don't bother with season 3
What another shocker that the 'cable' network has completely trashed this show with profanity and nudity that are completely irrelevant to the story lines. The two new characters are completely hated by me, as is the new secret service guy for the VP. Complete disappointment and I can't even recommend it to my family anymore. Very surprised that the actors would sign off on the dialogue and distasteful character's actions.
The Rookie (2018)
Wow
This thing exploded into one of my absolute favourites. Was a fan of Fillion's since firefly and Castle, and a good Edmonton boy like me, but this show really pops.
Its got the writing, the feel, the casting and characters are superb , and I don't often say that about anything. It's a light show that can be very serious because the characters have the depth to pull it off, they get along and are super loyal to each other with out much of the soap opera crap that tries to force a storyline. This is a REALLY good cop show.
Black Butterfly (2017)
Good to watch if you're in a cast in the hospital......
Very good story, although been there done that.
Very average movie...... was a struggle to get to the halfway point. Very slow developing. Writing not brilliant. Skip the last 30 seconds.
Last Man Standing (2011)
So glad this got picked up, but.........
There's just too many differences to ignore. The writing has suffered big time. The laugh track is embarrassing, and the new Mandy just isn't any good. The shoes she's trying to fill are too big. Eve is amazing, the exchange student is annoying, and the scripts are just too flat. The delivery is worse too, production is suffering. But at least it's not as bad as big bang where everybody reads their lines visibly, like I'm not sure galecki has memorized more than 3 lines in ten years..
The cameos in the first few seasons were awesome, but now the spontaneity is just gone. I loved this show and want to love it, but it's becoming way too mainstream and insulting to its viewers. Keep it intelligent, because the cool kids show after it makes me nauseous . The blogs from ODM aren't as edgy or as poignant either. I miss Boyd.
Bushwick (2017)
letdown
Stupidest fricken ending ever..... too short.......
well ladadadalalaladada
The Good Cop (2018)
Lame
Omg, what a huge let down this show was. It could have been a seriously intriguing crime show with a light edge. The writing is soft and very very not funny. Danza takes it to the total cheesecake edge.... too slapstick and simple. The supporting cast in the police dept are pathetic. Rogan tries his best, but the computer geek is horrible . The old cop is just not good and the girl is the best casting job they did.
Crossing Lines (2013)
amazing pilot, can't agree more with the other reviews....
Oh what could have been !!
Really disappointing to have such a good show turned into an entirely new series. 10/10 for the first two seasons, forget the third. The cursing in the third season is unforgivable, this was a very very good show..... more technical accuracy was definitely needed though. Too bad the networks shorted it .....on expectations and resources.....
