Thou Shalt Not Kill (2015– )

Tiresome

[6/10 · 17 December 2023]

An otherwise attractive woman who manages to look like dog poop on a daily basis, navigates her way through murder investigations, dragging a duffle bag full of hate and rage that colors everything she does.

It might have been a good series aside from her bottomless self pity.

The rest of the cast and the writing was pretty good, I would be enjoying watching, but I wanted to shut it off everytime she went off on her personal pity party.

I can't imagine a scenario where everyone from other cops to her family put up with her. Surely, someone thought she needed a good kick in the pants. Just really hard to watch.

A Christmas Exchange (2020 TV Movie)

Pure agony

[5/10 · 29 December 2020]

Tried to watch this. Ended up scrolling through most of it cause it was too painful to watch. Hate movies with female leads that are emotional basketcases.

Lonestar Christmas (2020 TV Movie)

All the drama

[8/10 · 18 December 2020]

I generally liked the show and actors. Scenery was nice. Kids were cute I was waiting to see what the big rift was between dad and daughter.

At the end I'm going what, that's it? What a let down.

Big Sky (2020–2023)

Awful

[3/10 · 20 November 2020]

I'm trying to watch this, but my gag reflex is making it tough.

Others claim it gets better, I probably won't know. You want people to watch, at least lead off with something less depressing than this pack of losers.

The Baker and the Beauty (2020)

Loved the pilot

[7/10 · 23 April 2020]

Was prepared to settle into a nice, homey comedy. That ended in episode two when they loaded everybody's baggage into the story line.

Hope this was a one-shot deal. With everything else going on, his truck won't start! Give me a break.

A nice guy with two high-maintenance screw heads.

The Identical (2014)

Just excellent

[10/10 · 13 April 2020]

A provacative concept carried out well. Acting was fantastic. Music was well done. Just loved watching it.

Blake rayne did an exceptional job of capturing the nuance of Elvis. Just terrific.

Outlander: Monsters and Heroes (2020) Season 5, Episode 9

Season five has been like watching paint dry.

[10/10 · 13 April 2020]

Hours of dreary dialogue interspersed with gruesomeness, violence and soft porn.

Bree and Roger are as boring as ever. I have hopes that Ian coming back will change the dynamic, he has an interesting story line.

At this point they have to do something.

NCIS: New Orleans: The Man in the Red Suit (2020) Season 6, Episode 14

Just another jackass

[3/10 · 10 March 2020]

I haven't missed a second of LaSalle being gone between his temper and the robot mouth. The show has been pretty good. Now they want to top LaSalle with this conceated wild card. It's not like there aren't enough bombastic jerks on TV already.

I wouldn't miss Koury either, don't know why, wouldn't miss Pride's hallucinations, either. Maybe they need some new writers.

There's other stuff to watch Sunday night.

A Cheerful Christmas (2019 TV Movie)

Kind of awful...

[4/10 · 17 December 2019]

Unbridled cheerfulness that can only be brought on by serious drug use opposed to steriotypcal abuse of the English and their language along with a deeply British name of Anderson? What are these writers smoking?

It would be almost impossible for actors to pull off this stilted portrayal of human beings. Period.

Christmas Stars (2019 TV Movie)

Didn't get very far.....

[1/10 · 15 December 2019]

When the movie starts out with the female lead shouting "whoo" into a mic the first several minutes, I have to turn it off. Just plain nasty. Next comes slamming shots and the obligatory boot scoot.

Mistletoe & Menorahs (2019)

Was expecting this to be awful

[10/10 · 9 December 2019]

I was most pleasantly surprised that the movie worked beautifully. Perfect for the season.

Bluff City Law: Need to Know (2019) Season 1, Episode 8

Generally love this show.

[8/10 · 12 November 2019]

Solid cast, good storylines. My one annoyance is Sydney, who is this great legal mind, but still can't handle her own reality beyond a sullen six year old.

Finding out your parents have feet of Clay is tough, but she just can't let it go for a flipping minute.

It just detracts from the show.

The Resident: From the Ashes (2019) Season 3, Episode 1

I love this show

[8/10 · 28 September 2019]

It is thoughtful and goes where few of these medical dramas go.

I hope they end this endless pitty party with Nic. I find her annoying, a basket case everyone has to work around. In the end it's all about her.

Northern Lights of Christmas (2018 TV Movie)

Tried to watch......

[5/10 · 16 August 2019]

Just too contrived. One stupid thing after another. I ended up reading through most of it. They imply they are near Fairbanks, that would mean it is about 40 below with about four hours of daylight. When I worked there, you had to leave your car running and had to be a lot more bundled up than in the movie. Just not very believable at all.

Stranger Things (2016–2025)

Bing watched

[10/10 · 9 July 2019]

All three seasons, loved it. Great story, cast, visuals, special effects - just a great show.

Yellowstone (2018– )

The Pioneer Woman........

[1/10 · 21 June 2019]

Has a better script writer than this collosal waste of time. There are real cowboys on her show who don't need to curse, beat up or kill someone every episode to keep an audience. Personally, I think they have better cameramen. My uncles were old time cowboys, they didn't act like this bunch of yahoo's. Really unbelievable crap.

Good Omens (2019– )

Pitch perfect.

[10/10 · 8 June 2019]

I've read the book several times. I've bought the book several times because it seems to disappear from my book shelf. I had some trepedation about a series being able to make it work. It does! In spades. Watched it over three nights, savorying every scene. They pulled it off. Brilliant casting. Genius graphics. Just terrific. I didn't want it to end and wonder if I will see the like again. My first thought about the book is always the Bentley tearing around, nailed it.

Blood & Treasure (2019–2022)

I've been trying to watch this...

[4/10 · 22 May 2019]

Two hours are almost up, but can't get into it. Don't find any of the characters believable, story line is kind of awful. A complete rip off of Indiana Jones and everything else.

Flower Shop Mysteries: Flower Shop Mystery: Dearly Depotted (2016) Season 1, Episode 3

Old news at this point, but....

[4/10 · 16 May 2019]

I found Brook sheilds just totally distracting in this series. For one, she doesn't look that good and when she finishes delivering her line, her mouth goes slack like she's a robot. Tried to watch them, but once was enough.

Crossword Mysteries: A Puzzle to Die For (2019 TV Movie)

Lacy and Brennan together again.

[10/10 · 16 May 2019]

Very good, enjoyed it a lot. These two are becoming a franchise of their own. Elliot is sporting a new, leaner look. Nice hair. Looks like another winner.

Mystery 101: Mystery 101 (2019) Season 1, Episode 1

Great chemistry.

[10/10 · 16 May 2019]

Loved it. Low key, comfortable watch. Leads are just solid good.

Ruby Herring Mysteries: Silent Witness (2019) Season 1, Episode 1

Bad hair day.

[3/10 · 16 May 2019]

Not a big fan of Taylor Cole, but she is even more plastic looking with that awful red hair. Dialogue was so sticky sweet, no one could deliver those lines, believably. The pace was so slow I almost gave up. Dad and cop were almost look alikes, bad casting. Cop was disappointing in that he had a flimsy case at best, but was willing to go for the low-hanging fruit. Just bad all around.

Roswell, New Mexico: Champagne Supernova (2019) Season 1, Episode 11

I am going to miss this show.

[10/10 · 10 April 2019]

It is one wild ride. Just about the time u think u have it figured out, it takes another turn. Actors are so versatile, they keep changing with the story. Nice to see all these strong women working together, instead of the usual catfight scenario.

Roswell, New Mexico: Songs About Texas (2019) Season 1, Episode 9

I am loving this show.

[10/10 · 20 March 2019]

Can't wait for Tuesday's. This episode was particularly good.

Outlander: Man of Worth (2019) Season 4, Episode 13

At least it's over.

[6/10 · 29 January 2019]

I see articles trying to prop up the changes made from the books, that somehow they improved the story line. They don't. I read the books until the Brianna/Roger thing started taking center stage. I get it, the story has to keep moving. I didn't and don't find these two compelling on any level. The trist between Murtaugh and Jocasta what the hell was that about? Gratuitus sex for the boomers? I'm 75, I don't want to watch that! Unless the story swings back to Jamie and Claire in a big way next season, I'm about done.
