High Desert: I Need a Hero (2023) Season 1, Episode 8

Be patient

[5 November 2023]

We gave this show a chance because it reminded us of another quirky show: Northern Exposure because the location is new and welcoming different and because similarly an ensemble cast does it's best to befuddle the viewer. The unpredictability and non-formulaic story arc are so welcome. It starts out uneven but boy o boy by the the time the final four episodes unfold they knock it out of the park. Bernadette Peters is a treat, Matt Dillon shines , Patricia Arquette pulls it together. So give it a chance, exotic desert settings, a "devil may care" plot style and writing make this diamond in the rough worth checking out.

A League of Their Own (2022)

Such a great premise.

[6/10 · 20 August 2022]

Niche viewing at best.

Wobbly acting, woke proselytizing at it's most bland.

Love is love duh we get it and we agree, can we have a good story telling please.

Loot (2022– )

Lighten up everybody.

[8/10 · 2 August 2022]

Loot is escapist fun with plenty of well written laughs.

The character development is coming along nicely in a farcical way.

The lavish excess of the Uber rich is beautifully filmed.
