Friends: The One with the Stripper (2001)
One of my favorites from the show
The stripper plot is ok, but the Dr. Green plot is comedy gold. Every line delivered at the restaurant is hilarious. And we get another classic Schwimmer moment when Dr. Green confronts Ross.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: End Game (2019)
Pure nonsense
Usually, when SVU episodes are bad, it's because they're cringe or outlandish or over-the-top. But this episode literally makes no sense at all. At all. It's the laziest writing I can remember. It's kind of insulting to the audience, to be honest. They literally had "no evidence" on the guy. No evidence? This dude is out here openly threatening people, but you have no evidence of his bad behavior. He can pay or scare people off to shut up about his behavior, but he killed a teen just cause she might have recognized him? And no one knows how he even did it? Let's not even talk about the fact that this dude was beloved and respected by everyone when we first met him. Where are his allies in this episode? Nah, he's now a full-on villain. And then, there's the matter of Nikki. Nikki, his original victim, was too afraid to testify, to share details of a case with Benson because she didn't want to be disbarred. But suddenly agrees to not only testify, but go out and try to frame the dude at Stone's request? Ok... I don't know if the writers were eager to go on vacation or something, but this villain needed more than a 2-episode arch for it to make sense. The "let's frame him" idea could have made such an interesting storyline, where they don't get discovered, and just have to live with the ethics of it. But no, they got quickly found out like a bunch of amateurs and faced no consequences. Again, ok... (If Stone's plan all along was not to frame him, but just to force Nikki's testimony, that is never made clear.) At the end, Stone wins of course 'cause that's the way SVU rolls. Do you really expect us to believe that Miller would be found guilty of MURDER (not, say, stalking or something easier to prove) anywhere in the real world? Please, shame on you, SVU writers.
Sanditon (2019)
Better if it took it easy with the cliches
It's incredible but all of the storylines are actually better than the main storyline. Miss Heywood is just a bit of a cliche. And it doesn't help that Rose Williams' acting is too over the top. Still a fun watch given the setting and secondary characters.
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Cringe
This movie is such cringe. The dialogue. The long pauses. The long stares. Omg, I couldn't get through it.
Defending Jacob (2020)
Bad Ending
It really is a shame. I thought it was rather good until the finale. The acting was good too, especially from Chris Evans. The ending is unrealistic and makes the mother the main character of the story, even though it was never established that she was capable of doing such a thing. She was not supposed to be the crazy one, Jacob was (or no one). I have read now what happens in the book, and although it's still a little crazy, it makes a lot more sense. What a shame.
