Royal Inquest (2009)
Awful audio
Whoever was the sound mixer on the series should never work again. Awful, just awful. The background music overpowers the narration and 75% of the time you can't hear dialogue over the music. The story lines were interesting and I would have loved to have known the whole story behind each but that stupid music. Sadly, I've run across several documentaries with this problem and wonder if they weren't made by the same production company. How were these programs sold is beyond me, I suspect only the concept was provided not the actual programs to the networks. Guess I should have turned on close captioning.
Peak Practice (1993)
Was good once but died a terrible death.
I loved this series but then there was just too much craziness. I mean life is messy but holy camolie this was just insane. Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately are why I took a chance and I became addicted. I kept up until the very end. Loved little old Alice. Andrew was a favorite but then he headed down that slippery slope of one bad decision after another though Sam took home first prize on that score. I was excited when they brought Will back, finally some sanity but then his manipulative wife came back and it started going downhill fast. The last straw was that awful human Clair Brightwell. I can see one bad deed but come on, this woman gave Satan a run for his money and it was just too over the top to be believable. And what a bunch of mealy mouth knuckleheads taking her crap and letting her run roughshod over their lives. Couldn't a one of them had the backbone to just say no? I guess no one gets their happy ending in Cardale.
Bargain Block (2021)
No common sense
These guys spend way too much time on artsy stuff and not enough on the common sense details of how people actually live in a house. The episode with the bunk beds for instance. No ladder to get on the top bunk and so little headroom you'd end up banging your head on the ceiling. There's a trip to the ER for mom and dad. Also who puts floor length curtains in a kitchen!!!! Never enough upper cabinets. Inappropriate materials for backsplashes and cabinets. I could go on and on.
