Gray (2023)
dull, 2nd rate acting, clarks limited range, pass
Its just not believable this waspy grandmother is the CIAs only option to root out a mole, and the lack of action is needed as it would be doubly unbelievable if the main character could do anything if any action or violence arose. Clarkson's narrow range on full and tedious display - the troubled neurotic she seems to push in every role she plays is just not believable as a rare and insightful operative . Dialogue is dull, little tension, weak secondary acting with with minimal subplot and a tedious been there done that main plot. The 6/10 reviews it seems to be getting say it all - Ive taught screenwriting at college - this is hard to watch and I gave up eventually.
Call Me Kat (2021)
Weak predictable writing; Mayim's range shows her limitations
Clearly they didn't poach BBT writers as it's a major step down. Mayim who I liked on BBT showing her limitations as she seems very similar to her BBT character - same mannerisms, reactions and again, an oddball character. She doesn't seem complex and sharply funny enough for a lead character. Speaking to the camera (ie us) isn't new, creative or effective. Mother trying to get daughter married - yeah that's new - not. I'd be surprised if it lasts a season - I would of thought with Parsons involved, it would be much more elevated than this. The whole premise is weak as is everything else - one drowns in cliches watching it until you feel somewhat ill.
