Shrinking (2023)
Q-When does it get funny?
A-It doesn't. The funniest thing in the first episode is that the main character has to ride his bike to work, because he forgot to get gas AND he has to use his daughters bike and pink helmet. That is so funny! Then some ahole on a bike Cusses at him because he is going too slow.... Hilariousl. His witty retort is S*ck my D. Laughed till I cried. And he is hungover too after a night with some hookers and has to go to work as a therapist and listen to people complain. Their problems are all cliche. He makes lots of annoying faces as he listens and clearly could care less. Save your time and take a pass on this one.
The Morning Show (2019)
What the hell am I watching
Season 1 of this show was amazing. I gave it a 9 of 10. Season 2 is unwatchable. What the heck happened. Instead of hiring writers they must of stolen Days of our Lives scripts from the 80s. Even the Foo Fighters can't save this mess!
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Best watched while in pharmaceuticals
Who said suicide is painless. One star for Margot Robbie. She was the only actor in the movie. One star for killing off Pete Davidson in the beginning of the movie. The rest was absurd. My ticket was free but was still tempted to ask for a refund.
Triple Frontier (2019)
Boring
Unbelievably boring.... kept waiting for it to get better, but never did.
Fargo: Somebody to Love (2017)
The Best Thing about season 3....
IS that it is over. Actually this was the best episode of the season which is like dubbing it the best song from Wings. Very little tied together this season. We wasted the better part of 2 episodes following the story of Gloria's murdered Stussy, whose mark on the series was that he wrote bad scifi, only to have the only tie in be a 1 minute soliloquy by Gloria that see feels like the little Robot "who can help", but really can't. Deep. So it is unbelievable that Nikki was the ultimate criminal mastermind who brought down Varga (or did she?). Apparently, she never learned the life lesson from Tuco, "When you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk." But after we just saw her lying in a pool of blood on the highway, and they put her on the gurney and haul her away, the camera pans back, showing Gloria, standing on the highway, in the vastness, and greyness, emptiness, and meaninglessness of it all....Lo and behold, there is no blood on the highway where Nikki just did lay. Even the Indian from season #2 might have found that baffling.....
Fargo: Who Rules the Land of Denial? (2017)
God drives a green VW bug and a cat named Ray
I love the Coen brothers and the Fargo series, up until season 3 that is. For this episode I can only say, "what was that?" So here is the episode, Prisoners being transported on a bus a night. Sure. Crashed by the sons of the pentagram and the Goat's head leader. Coulda figured out they were bad guys without the props. Bad guys invested time and money to create some stupid ramp to turn over the bus. Uh, there are dozens of ways to stop a bus without this needless dramatic flair. "Oh I get it they are going to use a prop to stop the bus". So, they are after this girl, Nikki. Why? She once tried to blackmail Emmitt? They dealt with her then. She has nothing, knows nothing, and is no threat to them. There is no plausible reason they would go through all the trouble to kill her. Okay, so she escapes the crashed bus with (I think it is the deaf hit-man from season 1). If so, It is four years later. The guy is wearing the same coat? Right. So, these two head to Lebowski lanes, and meet up with Sam Elliot like dude. Now in the Big Lebowski, Sam Elliot is clearly providing erst world commentary on the ups and downs of life. In this episode it is just nonsense. See he is some representation of God, here to dispense with the Wicked apparently, and yet he helps two serial killers to escape - presumably to extract revenge on the wicked Varga and Yuri and the dancing Asian for, well, being greedy serial killers. Yuri then shows up, and God then says he knows that he was Boris Badenov or some such in a past life and killed a bunch of people in the Ukraine, blah, blah, blah. Why it took 300+ years to find old Boris as Yuri, isn't clear. Maybe God only can get to people in bowling alleys, and Yuri is a golfer? Anyway, the rest of the episode is equally as boorish. The acting is horrible. The script writing amateur. The plot is mish mash of disconnected Coen brother classic plot lines, scenes and twists executed in a way that remind you of a really bad cover song. There is no likable character in this entire show. There is nothing here people. Save yourself the time. Re-watch season 1 and 2. And pray to the Lords of the bowling alley that season 4 is better.
Fargo: The Law of Non-Contradiction (2017)
Went to Bed
Season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was in many ways better. Season 3 should be titled Benzodiazepines brought to you by Crayola. I made it through episodes 1 & 2, thinking well this might get better. Last night I made it about 30 minutes before going to bed. I am sure the producers said, "Hey, we could save a bunch of money on filming and editing by having a 6 year come up with the cosmo plot and do a bunch of pretty bad animations". The acting is forced, the characters unlikable the dialog (Yes, by now we know that you are NOT the chief of police no more, yea) as vapid as the winter landscape. Only reason that I gave it a 2 is in the hopes that it gets better.
Bad Country (2014)
Uhhh....
The first time I watched this movie on cable, I thought there was something wrong with the sound. So, recently, I watched it again. So there are these long periods, virtually the entire second half of the movie where we watch people speaking to each other but the dialogue is muted. WTF! It is like watching mimes act. I mean what is the point. I kept waiting for Charlie Chaplin. The scene that I am watching now has the Feds talking to each other, and all you hear is the sound of crickets. Sucked is too good of a rating. I am going with sub-suck or over sucked. I can't ask for my money back, but maybe fios could reimburse a portion of my cable bill.

Krass. Lame. Ludicrous. Mediocre. Miserable. Nonsense. Ostentatious. Prattle. Rotten. Rubbish. Second Rate. Sorry. Shabby. Shameful. Tasteless. Terrible. Turd. Unfunny. Useless. Venal. Wretched. Wrong. Waste. Worthless. Xerotic. Yawn. Zero. Zip. Zilch.
