The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)
Don't normally do these...
Sooo many new shows are a disappointment these days. I have to say though, that only two episodes in I ACTUALLY feel like I'm watching the Walking Dead again! Maggie and Negan was decent, Daryl was pretty good, but this so far is on a whole other level. It's held my attention like the show used to, before it became about filler and 10 minute monologues that wasted time and meant nothing. This show doesn't waste a moment, doesn't ruin a single shot, and it knows what story it wants to tell and how to get there. Maybe these 6 episode arcs are a great thing for this franchise to keep the storytelling tight. All I can say is if they keep this up, I am back in 100%!!!!
Frasier (2023)
Waited till 5 episodes and its not good
I'm a big fan of Cheers and the Original Series and there is one GLARING difference between those shows and this new version, and that's the writing.
It lacks the genuine feeling and authentic sense of humor that Les Charles could create. It its place are an abundance of state, humorless jokes that are emphasized by an annoying laugh track that is ill placed at every turn.
The characters are fine, the actors are fine, and Kelsey Grammer does his best with what he is given but sadly it's not much. The jokes seem to be coming from the most unfunny people you'd meet at a party and upon delivery you just nod and go "ok." It's a shame because there is something here, but the writing staff needs replacing immediately.
Secret Invasion (2023)
Ignore the good reviews...
I'm saying that to counter ppl that say ignore the negative reviews. Saying that is so ridiculous, because you SHOULD read both positive and negative to see if a show is right for you.
If you like the show fine, but don't think you're an genius because of it. You don't have a bigger brain, this show just suits you.
For me, the show is boring. It's slow paced, and the plot, characters and dialogue are cliché. The music is also dull, and when you put it all together it will put you to sleep.
I love good drama and don't need a ton of action to entertain me. What I do need is good writing and this doesn't have it.
The New Normal (2012)
Just an unfunny Modern Family clone
I don't think critics and people hate this show because of the two gay dads, that's a cop out and an easy knee-jerk assessment. The bottom line is the show is simply a HORRIBLE clone of "Modern Family" that doesn't work because it tries to hard and is too afraid to make fun of its own premise. Modern Family has wit, heart and charm and this show has none of the above. Seriously Ellen Barkin as an over the top version of Ed O'Neill's character Jay??? She goes way too far with the content and is not believable. Also, the two gay fathers on Modern Family are indeed stereotypes but it works because they are not afraid to acknowledge that and make fun of the things they would like to change. They actually seem more real than the two gay dads on this show. Overall "The New Normal" just doesn't work, because overall the show tries TOO hard to be something it will never be, funny and real which is what makes Modern Family a gem.
