Bloodline (2015)
Drags
It really drags. Characters keep repeating the same thing over and over and it takes forever for something new to happen. This is a technique that lots of American made series do to make more episodes in a series. Better writers are required to make the series cause you to want to watch the next episode, not to make you hope that something will eventually happen in the next episode. I really forced myself to watch the next episode a few times and then decided that it was pointless. It wasn't going anywhere. I started watching because it had a reasonable score but it was just a major disappointment.
Nobody (2021)
Greatest action movie in a long time
I had no idea what this movie was about but Bob Odenkirk being in it caught my eye. I couldn't have picked a more entertaining movie to watch. You have no idea what to expect when you start watching and it soon turns into the best action movie I have seen in many years. An absolute must. In the line of John Wick but with a far more entertaining lead character. Little bits of humour thrown in between the action. With baddies as bad as they get and Bob Odenkirk doing his own fight scenes, the roller-coaster ride never stops. It could easily have a sequel and I hope the makers go ahead and make it. I will be waiting.
Easy (2016)
Pointless
I watched 7 episodes waiting for something to happen. It never did. What a waste of time. It reminds me of when Girl Interrupted came out and someone overrated it and then everyone seemed to think "it just be arty and I didn't understand it" and the started raving about how good it was. It wasn't and this is exactly the same. It is so boring and pointless that some people decided it just had to be good because, if I don't understand why someone else liked it I had better pretend I do otherwise people might think I am stupid. No, no, no. It IS stupid. If you have any sort of normal life, please rather enjoy it that wasting it watching this overrated trash. I almost marked this review as containing spoilers. This reviews warns you that nothing is ever going to happen.
New Amsterdam (2018)
Characters not believable
This could have been a great series but the script writing leaves a lot to be desired. I don't find any of the characters believable, one of worst being Dr Frome, the corniest shrink ever seen. Max, the lead character, is a do-gooder to the point of rediculous. Everybody is over emotional. Everyone has a relationship issue of some sort. The script makes soap operas seem to be brilliant story telling. And something that is what I find really unbelievable in EVERY TV hospital series is that ALL medication comes in bottles. I have never seen an American TV series where medication comes in a box. Really?

Too slow and boring
I tried. I mean I really tried but I can only handle so much boredom waiting for something significant to happen. I think that the high reviews are from people who felt that they would look stupid saying that it was bad.
But it really is bad, Besides the fact that the camera the girl is carrying spends half its time pointing at the floor and would therefore produce useless footage, it is just plain silly. This is the sort of movie you watch when stuck in a lockdown and you have watched everything else available and it is the last thing left. And you enjoy being bored.
Midsomer Murders (1997)
No believable plots or characters
The first time I saw an episode of this I thought that I was watching a satire. Then I discovered that it was meant to be serious drama and found that hard to believe. Not a single character is believable, the plots are silly and the overacting is terrible. John Nettles tries to make every line he delivers sound like a Shakespeare sonnet. Then they replaced him and I though that I would try watching again.Neil Dudgeon is a slight improvement but now we have an over-trained dog that doesn't behave like a dog added to the mix and the plots and overacting are just as bad. Sorry but this is overstated and stupid.
Club Fed (1990)
Really bad, don't waste your time
I enjoy comedies. This was not a comedy. It is just silly. Over-the-top comedies like Airplane have clever, well thought out humor none of which is present in this movie.
Full of errors but not humor. For the first few seconds I thought that maybe this was going to be a movie worth watching. A few minutes later I realized that it was absolute junk. The script is completely lacking. The situations are just plain stupid. The only way that I would have been able to enjoy such a movie would be if I was drunk. Very drunk.
If you enjoy really mediocre slapstick then this might be the movie for you. Otehrwise avoid it. You will be hugely disappointed.
