House of the Dragon: The Princess and the Queen (2022)
Time jumping
So this is another 10 years later ( (extreme) time jumping makes this show less and less attractive to watch/unwatchable. And with a 10 year time leap how is it that only Aegon, Rhaenyra, Alicent and Laenor are the ones that seems to have aged at all. Especially the 2 girls seems to have aged about 20 years (at least! Thankfully at least Alicent looks a bit similar to her old self, but Rhaenyra doesn't even resemble her "old" self) in that time. Whilst people like the king (which frankly seemed to be dying 10 years ago), Ser Cole and quite a few others doesn't seem to have aged a day. Just no consistency which makes for a terrible show.
Noelle (2019)
Decent movie, bad commercial
This movie is decent enough, just like most other Christmas movies (It takes a lot to make a really bad Christmas movie in my opinion). And follows the "usual" script for one of these kind off movies. Romance, some sort of family related problem and someone struggling with their Christmas spirit. Which means it's usually quite predictable but then again that might just be one of those things that make a good Christmas movie. However for me the constant Apple/iPad advertising ruins it quite a bit, and is the reason it gets a much lower rating from me, without it it might have easily gotten an 8 out of 10.
Julekongen (2015)
Decent enough, but...
The movie is decent enough in itself, but they definitely shouldn't have stated to us in the movie that this story happens 3 years later, which in real life of course it is. However I might not have thought about the age of the child actors in the advent calendar prequel Julekongen Where the 2 main characters, Kevin & Eiril, where both 3 years younger than them, and the one playing Mira should be at least 4 years difference considering she was supposed to be in kindergarten. However unfortunately the 3 years that's passed makes it far too obvious how much older than their characters they are which quite frankly ruins this movie quite a bit for me.
The Hardy Boys (2020)
How on earth can you call this Hardy Boys???????
Maybe this could have been an ok TV-show if they had not used the Hardy Boys "brand". But as it is I found it absolutely absurd and unwatchable about halfway into the first episode.
This has absolutely no resemblance to the books (atleast not the original ones, which is the ones I've read) apart from some of the names used.
The age difference between the boys in this is obviously more than the year it is in the books, and to me the actor who plays Joe is/looks too young and with Frank it's the opposite which makes the difference seem even worse.
Also they've basically decided to kill off the boys mother to suit their story just to replace her with Aunt Trudy (Aunt Gertrude) and then add a grandmother (which in reality resembles Aunt Gertrude a lot more)
And of course "Biff" is suddenly a girl and Chet is definitely not fitting into his former description.
I mean if they hadn't used the Hardy name I probably wouldn't have guessed this series was supposed to be about them.
Bones: The Baker in the Bits (2015)
???
How on earth they ended up with that conclusion I'll never understand. They obviously got the murderer wrong so I'm sensing a follow up for this one.
Bones: The Verdict in the Victims (2015)
2 episodes to get to the obvious murderer
This one was too obvious to me as I figured out who the killer was before halfway in the first episode (13).
How I Met Your Mother (2005)
Ending ruined it
I've always hated the idea of Ted & Robin together (never really liked the character Ted in itself to be fair) so ending thing like they did really ruined an otherwise decent show for me.
Carnage (2011)
Comedy?
How on earth is this classified as a comedy? It's an absolute tragedy both as a genre and as a movie
Knight Rider: The Scent of Roses (1986)
Should've been the last episode, but with different ending
This would've made a perfect last episode if it had a happy ending for Michael and Stevie. But unfortunately it didn't and in the end it seems to me like an episode that's been rather hurridly put together with the main purpose to kill off Stevie. For instance the episode includes a scene where MIchael and Bonnie is reviewing a video taken by KITT from when MIchael was shot to try and identify the main purpetrator, Durant/Kurt Rolands. However in this scene we get to see a clear picture of Durant in the video (which obviously must've been a mistake from the director/producer), however Michael totally ignores that fact, and the image they actually get of Durant in the end is from a reflection on a suitcase.
