Street Outlaws: Fastest in America (2020)
Way too much talk
I believe they've forgotten that their show is about racing and the true stars of the show are the vehicles. They never show a race until the halfway point of a 51 minute show. That's absolutely ridiculous. If I wanted to watch a soap opera I would, but I don't so please get back to what actually makes the show worthwhile - THE RACING!!
I understand that personalities will help when it's necessary but 90% of the show is unwatchable trash talk with guys that know how to make a car go fast but are horrible at any kind of compelling dialogue.
I fast forward through at least 3/4 of the show so I don't have to listen to most of them talk. If you want to add someone that knows how to talk trash and is seriously good at it bring in Conor McGregor, then let him train these guys how to sound legitimately entertaining. Otherwise start trimming the fat on these shows and have actual content that's not the host running his mouth or every single racer trying to slip in his catch phrase or a cliche. You're taking a awesome idea and sending it in the trash.

Frustrating to Watch
If it were possible, they should have done everything in their power to avoid having Rochelle involved in this. The story is absolutely compelling enough on its own & although she played a 'key' role in the story she made the documentary almost unwatchable.
This is also yet another documentary that has fallen into the formula of multiple unnecessary episodes when the story could be properly covered in one really well done episode. It's become tiresome that most multiple episode docs are at least 50% fluff and the message loses all of its potency. There's only been a handful that have done a multiple episode layout successfully in my opinion.
Dirty John (2018)
Zero emotion
The main character Debra shows about as much emotion as a totem pole. I felt as if I were watching a very bad imitation of what the Kardashians would be acting like. The entire series was just lacking any kind of depth from the female characters which is sad being that the storyline was good. Bana's character was equally dry about 75% of the time. There were times that it seemed like the character's emotions were on a tape delay, not one bit of urgency in the direction.
