Ted Lasso: Beard After Hours (2021)
Akin to Breaking Bad "The Fly"
The filler episode... adds nothing to what is an otherwise excellent series. Just misses the mark, disjointed from the rest of the plot. Coach Beard is an excellent and funny character but I can't and don't appreciate this episode. Jumps the shark, reminds me of the fly episode of breaking bad. His Irish accent while nonsensical in terms of the plot is actually the most impressive part of the episode. I don't know what else to say but I must type 150 more characters. I hope you read this far. I plan to watch on and stick with this series as it is otherwise excellent 10/10 so that's it thanks bye.
Heatwave (2022)
A smorgasbord of cheese.
So bad it might be good? It has so many pinch points of terrible dialogue delivered so earnestly that it in itself was entertaining. The plot is mind blowing. And the delivery of the plot in the last five minutes will have you out if your seat, potentially to leave and not actually watch the ending, but I felt I owed it to the people who worked on this to make it to the credits. I can't decide which cringey character I like the most but I think the one that deserves the gold medal is the refreshingly stereotypical tired run down cop, 60 years on the beat cracking cases but with this one case that haunts him burning his soul in such a moody dark fog that he tries to deny with jovial happy questions and form a bond with potentially serious criminals he has just met. Also for his propensity to call his other stereotype partner who he just often calls partner and shouts at in a lethal weapon fashion but with lines more akin to a hallmark movie. Try watch it as an exercise in patience and you may enjoy the cheese of different flavours, they do their best in this film but the dialogue is just hilarious.
The Good Fight (2017)
Ridiculous childish season 3 destroys memories of a good show
I really liked this show at the start and it was a welcome follow on from The Good Wife, but this show just slides into the ridiculous, every episode becomes pathetically anti Trump labouring the point obsessively. It spoils the entertainment and whatever your political views it is just jumping the shark and hemmed into plots at all cost. The show is a shadow of itself.
House of Cards: Chapter 73 (2018)
Dire.
This was horrific. A wonderful show pillaged and buried by an abysmal last season. It needs to be deleted so as to preserve the memory of 5 excellent seasons.
