Big Little Lies (2017)
It could have been 3 episodes
The acting is amazing and easily the best part of this series. I was just really disappointed at how the show finds ways to give every serious issue such low stakes. They never address key issues head on and everything just magically gets fixed. I wish this show had the balls to actually handle the serious content they put forth. Instead I'm left feeling like 90% of the show was padding and stringing the viewer along with a weak mystery story. These are such serious topics, but they're never fully addressed. It feels like these characters have no control over the world around them even though they seem to control everything. None of it felt real. It all felt overly glamorous and disgusting.
Severance (2022)
I didn't want it to end
A little bit of Loki, Eternal Sunshine, and Office Space. Every episode is so dense and they really explore this amazing idea.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a show.
This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist (2021)
The Art is Better Off Somewhere Else
A woman is born extremely wealthy and travels the world buying expensive art. When she dies she makes her house into a museum, but only if everything is kept the exact same way she left it when she died.
Years later her "museum" is robbed of its most expensive artwork because of poor security that literally any visitor could see.
This isn't a mystery. This is just old rich people complaining about the time another old rich person was robbed.
Read the Wikipedia page in 10 minutes and you'll know everything you care to know about this boring story.
Real Rob (2015)
There is No God
Half of this show is watching a tiny, unfunny man in his 50's complain about his beautiful wife half his age while she uses her cleavage to try and distract you from the fact that she has no acting ability. The other half is poorly acted dialogue that would have been thrown out of any level 1 writing class.
The show borrows heavily from other, more successful, show styles without knowing what makes those shows great. We're presented with documentary style interviews that are really just there because the writers have no idea how to write dialogue or plot so they use it as a crutch. No other parts of the show hint that this is a documentary and the cinematography doesn't emulate a documentary style either. It's mostly shot like a Soap Opera.
We're also presented with some of the worst stand up I've ever seen in my life. It's just lazy, unrelatable garbage that Rob Schneider thinks others should hear because his ego is so massive he has no idea how unfunny he actually is. It doesn't help that Schneider dresses like a used car salesman from 2005 and acts like a selfish, egotistical garbage person during the entire runtime of an episode.
Nothing in this show feels "real" like the title implies, but instead feels like Rob Schneider is trying to show off how awesome he is. There are zero original, real, or funny concepts presented at any point during an episode. You will be presented with plenty of tired, lazy, and nonsensical ramblings.
I blame Adam Sandler for casting his buddy in so many of his films that Rob Schneider became a household name and millionaire. Without that money Rob would never be able to fund these insipid projects.
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
Physiological Horror
I was completely blown away by this film and have no idea why it's not more popular. The acting is amazing, the script is fantastic, and it's wonderfully directed. There are scenes in this film that will stay with me forever because they feel so real.
