Chad (2021)
Please make it stop
All the advertising in the world isn't going to save this train wreck so please stop show commercials for this.
The Good Fight (2017)
It started off good...
The show started off with a return to what made The Good Wife great. Great courtroom drama and good character development. Then something changed. They started breaking the 4th wall, strange cartoon shorts which take you out moment and introduced horrible characters (Blum). The problem with the School House Rocks knockoffs is they assume the view is an idiot and has to be hit over the head with a catchy tune to get the point. Don't dumb it down for us, we don't need it, 30 seconds more dialog in the right context would be more than sufficient instead of a 2 min video of kindergarten level lyrics to a splashy cartoon. It is not quirky or edgy it just demeans everything they have spent almost 10 seasons building up. Some of us like a show that makes us think. Let us think!
De twaalf (2019)
Interesting look at another justice system
Overall it is pretty interesting. Some of the characters actions are rather odd which is distracting sometimes. Maybe they would make more sense to people in Belgium? The detective/prosecutor's motivations are not explained(yet), the husband who thinks she can jut get out of jury duty but she never brings that up, The sad/weird older monkey guy. I read some backstory on the motivations for this story, which is a look at if the jury system is fair,balanced, and is it the best we can do for justice. I also have wondered about the US jury system as well. Does it make sense to use 12 ordinary people to decide such complex issues? This show is obviously over dramatized but does raise many questions.
I'll Be Gone in the Dark (2020)
More about the author and her life than the actual crimes.
I was looking for to a show about true crime stories but this isn't it. I am sure it is ok for what it is but if you are into true crimes stories look somewhere else.
