The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Seasons 1-3 were captivating
I was excited when this show first come on, it wasn't your run of the mill reality show. Some interesting things were really happening that had me wanting more!
Unfortunately, season 4 and the 2 episodes from season 5 feel dead. They do nothing but fire rockets, send out drones and always talk about that frequency, like 1.6 ghz or something.
I mentioned season 5, the first 2 episodes are the exact same thing. This show is starting to put me to sleep.
There are times when you can tell there is acting for some reason, which is a turn off. Also, why are they always getting excited about seeing the same thing over and over again? We need that Season 1-3 energy again.
The Bear (2022)
Second Season has little to be desired
I really loved Season 1, would have gave it a 10 based on that. Season 2 so far has been a snooze fest. That episode that took place during Christmas just killed it for me. Why do I want to watch 20 min of nothing but yelling and its about pointless stuff that I just could care less about. Just seems like a lot of filler episodes this season and that's extremely disappointing, I was excited to have Season 2 arrive but then the waiting was for nothing. I get it, they want to show the family dynamic. Even my Italian wife was tired of all the yelling, it actually did remind her of her family. I'll probably keep trying to watch but so far I have just walked away halfway through 3 episodes and was told I didn't miss anything.
Manifest (2018)
Went downhill
Yhe first season really drew me in. Then the second season kept me around. The third season started ok but gradually seemed a bit different, story started to get a little slow. Then we come to season 4. Now, this season is a dud. Seems like the writing has changed. Its very drawn out and not even that interesting anymore. The father of the girl that was kidnapped is really slowing things down, I wish they never went in that direction because it is now extremely uninteresting and it feels like half of each episode is about that. The mystery and suspense seems to have left this show and that is very unfortunate. Just alot of filler scenes now. Has become boring.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
Its as if Marvel stopped caring
Is the show watchable, well, I suppose, I watched each episode with wife. She agrees, it feels like this was written for giggling teenage girls who know nothing of Marvel comics. After Love and Thunder, which was such a tremendous, unexpected disappointment for me with all the forced jokes and turning Thor into a bafoon, I was hoping that kind of writing wouldn't happen again....but it did, and perhaps even worst. The 4th wall breaking is horrendous, just isn't funny or natural. The jokes, well, I don't know who writes these jokes but I'm fairly certain they were never a class clown. But that season finally felt as if they realized how bad this show is and decided to kill it off.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Was kinda getting interesting, then....
It was slow paced then started getting interesting a bit. Then came episode six, 10 years later. Became confusing and main characters has different actors now. Just can't connect. Story changed, no clue as to what happened between those 10 years. I'm afraid I have lost intrest in the show and that is unfortunate. Just soooomany things don't make sense. But changing actors we have become connected to just doesn't seem lime a good move. Very bad move. As others have said, it really does seem like a soap opera, not much action anymore. I may give another episode a chance for the wife only because she wants the next episode to redeem it. We will see.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Too much forced silliness
I think they were trying to bank on how well Ragnorok did and use the same formula and failed bad! Just too many forced jokes that just were not funny and went overboard with silliness. Don't get me wrong, some were very funny but most were not, I think I sat through this movie with a dumbfounded look on my face. I love most Marvel movies but this one was just bad. I almost stopped it halfway through but kept giving it a chance. Also the story was just bad. This was the best acting I've seen from Portman and Bale did the best he could with the roll given to him. It was extremely hard to take this movie seriously, what a huge disappointment. I think this one killed the Thor franchise for me.
The Paraseekers (2018)
Seriously????
I'm guessing this is a mockumentary but I cant find much info online. But it appears to have some over the top acting and feels cringy at times. The lead investigator looks like a "Happy Days" reject and seems to have snuff in his mouth most of the time. The first hour is just too much talking, boring. When they start investigating, well, it's pretty cringy as well. I should have shut it off after the first 5 min. It does have that "High School Project" feeling. Not even entertaining.
Tell Me a Story (2018)
What tha???
I'm giving this a 1 star rating because I feel tricked into checking it out and false advertisement. I dont see anything having to do with fairy tales. I'm guessing this show is geared towards liberals and the LGBQT community. Absolutely nothing to do with fairy tells. Nothing at all.
A Ghost Story (2017)
Not a very happy camper
I feel like I got duped. This movie sounded "ok" so I gave it a view. Kept waiting for it to go somewhere....my god that pie scene.....I see no art in watching drawn out scenes like that. This movie contains mostly fillers to take up the time in this pointless dull film.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Didnt know what to expect at first, but WoW!
I went into this not knowing what to expect like others but 3 episodes in so far and I just this show is amazing, prefer this over the movies. Thanks Disney!
She Walks the Woods (2019)
5.7? Really???
The rating is way too high on this film, this is what I might call a 3.8. The first hour is filled with pointless footage that just keeps going. The acting is poor and these "Expert Survivalist" just are not very convincing. Felt like I wasted my time watching this. I should have taken a clue from the first couple min in that this would be poor.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Confusing and dull
The only entertaining portion of this movie was the last 15-20 min. Both the wife and myself started nodding off in the theater. Very over hyped movie. I spent the first half of the movie trying to figure out what in the world was happening.
