Blockbuster (2022)
Ten minutes into the pilot.... just no!
Well, I lasted five minutes into the pilot. The writing is just awful. The "gag" delivery forced and unfunny and the characters I saw this far just sucked.
This is no Superstore or The Office. Oh, did I say how atrocious the dialogue is? Vanessa Whoeveryouare, go back to school and learn English. Netflix clearly has no filter when it comes to screening the dross that they trot out on their platform. Surely, even a focus group would have said NO... go back to the drawing board. The actors should be and some even looked embarrassed to be wearing Blockbuster uniforms. Worse still, this show is an embarrassment to the Blockbuster legacy. I bet there are former employees just cringing watching this tripe. Glad I didn't waste a second more of my life with this turd on my screen.
Stranger Things: Chapter Eight: Papa (2022)
Waaayyy too long & just boring
Omg... is Max Mayfield the most punishing TV character currently streaming? So overwrought and just annoying. I was wishing for Vecna/Agent 001 to crumple her from the inside out... but alas no.
All I can say is that the finale better be worth waiting for and as for a season 5? NO!!
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
The second viewing almost made me puke!
After what we've endured globally for the past two years, a second viewing of this "reboot" almost made me lose my lunch. The underlying wokeism through this "inclusive" version was sickening at best. My son was right.
Also, why the Fat Ned character? Other than saying that obese teenagers with fatty liver disease is inclusive. Just revolting.
The Expanse: Immolation (2018)
Simply extraordinary viewing
Wow.. what can I say! The Breaking Bad of sci fi series. Fantastic writing and awesome acting, with special effects that rival cinema block busters. The only reason I didn't score this a 10 is for the annoying and it would seem unnecessary character that is Reverend Doctor Annushka "Anna" Volovodov. She whines, she whinges and the overdone "missing my lesbian wife" scenes were nauseating. Thank the Lord she didn't reappear after season 3.
Glitch: Little Gidding (2019)
Not as bad as some reviewers have written.
From my experience, so many Australian attempts at sci fi, supernatural or horror suck badly. Not sure why this is the case, given the predominance of Australian actors in a lot of high quality international productions of the same genre.
I do agree that the story would have been better told over two seasons, as the third seemed like a contractual obligation for all concerned. Two seasons with an extra two episodes per season with the Elisha and William connection explored in more detail, would have been far more satisfying. Overall the acting was exceptional, given some of the content they had to deal with.
A great idea, reasonably executed, but done to "death" in season 3. Still worth a viewing.
Black Summer: Diner (2019)
Inconsistencies abound!
I've enjoyed this series so far as it has a different take on the undead. However in this episode, they seek refuge in a diner. Well, it's nit Fort Knox, with windows all around. Yes windows, that any strong undead person would have no problem smashing with either a fist, elbow or even their whole bodyweight! That makes no sense at all.
Mr. Mercedes: Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream (2017)
Are the police really this stupid?
Okay, I have been riveted to this excellent series, but disbelief had to be suspended when dopey detective Pete Dixon, aka Barrack Obama... along with the remainder of the police, assumed that the man laying with a very stiff Deborah Hartsfield was the psycho Brady Hartsfield - without any forensic investigation or even dental record checking. As another reviewer correctly pointed out, DNA testing was available after 1986, so should have been used to determine the burnt victims.
Other than that it's an 8/10.
Better Call Saul: Coushatta (2018)
Kim Wexler is such a punish!
The slow burn continues... with Mike stealing the show again. Kim Wexler is such a pain in the ass. Not surprised that Jimmy gets rid of her soon.
