SEAL Team: Conspicuous Gallantry (2021)
Layers Get Peeled Back
I understood the need for this episode and I felt it worked well. I did giggle at Brock in the doctor coat, although they were misbehaving. Golden-haired Princess had his Velma (Scooby Doo) moment with a well-intentioned chat with each Bravo team member. There's lots to take away from this episode. A serious outcome with some light moments sprinkled around. Sonny is always a joy to listen to with the dialogue he gets scripted. I could listen to him for days. He's grown on me over the seasons as one of my fave characters. The "crutch brigade" 🤣🤣 And then finally flags get raised. I'm addicted to this well-written series.
The Time Traveler's Wife (2022)
WAITING ON EPISODE FIVE!
My rating is for the first 4 episodes available at the time. Hubby, I think saw far too much Theo butt to want to go past episode one and thought there wouldn't be a decent plot, but me? I have no complaints. Now for the story, which is the more important part of this rating. After episode one I wasn't overly sure if I wanted to continue to invest my time, but I am so glad I did. It took a little getting used to the numerous Henrys of various ages popping up, but I really am enjoying this portrayal of The Time Traveller's Wife. It's got a bit of everything and the romance side is naturally growing and the torment Henry and Clare go through living this way. It's complicated and messy and it really isn't easy for the both of them. Arriving butt naked, no belongings or money in any year ... man, that really is a freaky hard thing to deal with. Nice to look at, but ( no pun intended) , hell of a way to live. Looking forward to more episodes.
Alaska's Wild Gourmet (2016)
WHAT A LOVELY FAMILY...
I devoured this series ( no pun intended) looking for more to watch. Bradley is an amazing chef and personality who seems such a kind soul and a genuinely like person in his community. I'm not a great seafood fan, but his dishes were so well thought out and presented. The foraging skills by him and his sister were brilliant to watch. Bradley has a true love and pride in his cooking and presentation. I read the sample pages of their mother's book, who I learned was a skilled cook and personality in her own right in Alaska. My family and I understand that devastating first chapter. It brought me to tears as we too have been through that. I could easily have watched more seasons of this interesting and palatable show. Bravo!
The Rookie: True Crime (2021)
TRULY TERRIBLE EPISODE!!!
Awful. I watched it all. Who thought this would be a good idea? True flop. Boring. Waste of everyone's time and energy. So random. You were bringing great storyline until this nose dive off the deep end.
Big Sky (2020)
Cringe Worthy Plot
Man, hubby and I tried so hard to appreciate the plot, the characters, the dialogue, but this really is not a well written show. Finger prints people! Lineup of suspects... people! You have enough to go on. The Norman Bates style character could have been so much better. The female PIs are half-baked. I never write reviews but I felt compelled to cleanse my mind. But there is some nice scenery.
