The Night Agent (2023– )

Darkness

[6/10 · 4 April 2023]

I don't know who came up with this darkness effect on movies and TV shows. But even when it's dark in the daytime, it's hard to make out what's going on sometimes and the night scenes are even worse. This is just too darn dark, dark dark. I think it distracts from the action question I don't know who you contact or complain to about this production design. I would think the actors themselves wouldn't be happy with this kind of technique. I think it takes away from their ability to do their jobs. Come to the point that if it's a new thing and it's dark in the first episode, I will not watch the rest.

The Gray Man (2022)

Action packed.

[6/10 · 27 July 2022]

Lots of action unfortunately it is difficult to see. Once again the It shot with the current trend of shooting mostly in the dark. It really too bad some of the action apparently was amazing.

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)

Over 60 years old

[10/10 · 2 July 2022]

This movie has so many references to the sixties and seventies that I don't think people under twenty will understand the puns, innuendos and jokes. The children in the theater will still laugh at the slapstick jokes.

The Old Man (2022– )

Dark Filming ruins our enjoymentu

[3/10 · 18 June 2022]

I love Jeff Bridges, but my rating is because of the dark filming. Who ever thought this was a good idea? We can't tell what is going on. This dark filming is BS and needs to stop. I cannot even see the character's faces so what good is their acting effort? We might as well be listening to a radio program because of the lack of visual clarity. In several scenes, we stared at a black screen. This has to stop. Not watching any more episodes, however the term watching is only relative to what we could or could not see. We were not watching, only listening.

Ozark (2017–2022)

In the dark.

[5/10 · 7 May 2022]

Like many other shows they are doing most scenes are shot in darkness or heavily shadowed. Sometimes it's hard to make out what is going on. I don't know why directors are enamored with this technique.

American Auto (2021–2023)

Where is the humor?

[4/10 · 5 January 2022]

I have watch the three episodes and not laughed once. The best part of the show is Tye White. I realize this is a spoof of the American Auto industry be the overall premise is stupid.

Muppets Haunted Mansion (2021 TV Special)

Family fun

[10/10 · 9 October 2021]

Very entertaining, lots of references to the Haunted Mansion and clever surprises.

Let's Be Real (2020–2021)

Give some time.

[7/10 · 7 May 2021]

After just two episodes I think they are trying to be funny and balanced. Although, most of the writers are typically liberal.

Funny You Should Ask (2017– )

Politically incorrect.

[6/10 · 7 May 2021]

A true expression of the African American image of the projection they think Caucasians think .

Big Sky (2020–2023)

Too dark

[4/10 · 5 May 2021]

The lighting is so dark this show has become unwatchable.

The Blacklist (2013–2023)

Lost.

[6/10 · 26 April 2021]

This show has lost its way. They need to return to the original story line.

The Crew (II) (2021)

King of Queens and Kevin can wait meet NASCAR to some minor degree.

[5/10 · 15 February 2021]

If you are a Kevin James fan you might like this. If you are a NASCAR Fan you might be insulted.

The Blacklist (2013–2023)

Back to the original premise.

[6/10 · 23 January 2021]

The show has lost its way. They need to get back to the story line .

Mr. Mayor (2021–2022)

Pun after pun

[6/10 · 22 January 2021]

If you like Tina Frey's sense of humor you might like this. Some very talented actors collecting a check.

The Chase (I) (2021– )

Not as good as the orginal.

[6/10 · 15 January 2021]

The pace of this remake is slow and drawn out. The host needs to be more up beat .

The Conners (2018–2025)

No humor.

[4/10 · 14 January 2021]

This show has lost it's sense of humor. Very depressing.

Richard Jewell (2019)

Very timely

[8/10 · 27 December 2019]

Considering the recent FBI over ups and mistakes along with the media misleading the public this film is very poignant.

Unbelievable (2019)

Draggy

[6/10 · 3 October 2019]

The positive reviews are true, however this goes on and on and on. Could have been done in four episodes. On the other hand it is a very compelling true story.
