Nigeru wa haji daga, yaku ni tatsu (2016)
Rename it The Dickless Wonder
I love the actress who plays Mikuri, but the guy who plays Tsuzaki doesn't do much with his role. It's actually very frustrating to watch a guy who has no game when his love interest practically throws herself at him. The guy is a dickless wonder.
The episodes are pretty much rehashed and it would have made a better two hour movie than a series. It's the epitome of a water downed story. It's worth watching just because the women featured on the show are so good looking and can act quite well. Most of the guys on the show aren't funny at all and will make you cringe. If you've seen one episode then you've seen them all.
Year One: A Political Odyssey (2022)
Excellent
Republicans will give this a 1 rating without even watching beyond the first 15 seconds because it opens with a voice over of Jake Tapper referring to Trump as the "disgraced President" as we see Trump board a helicopter ending his twice impeached term as President.
The documentary is a fascinating look at the challenges the Biden administration had to overcome and dig America out of the hole that Trump dug.
This was an interesting and well paced overview that dives into the challenges the Biden Administration came across with interviews with all of the major players involved.
From dealing with the hacking of Russia to overcoming Covid in month number one we see how Biden and his team tackle the problems and put out the fires.
Shopgirl (2005)
Asexual Love Story
Asexual older man pursues young attractive woman for reasons unknown. Claire Danes was great and Steve Martin really sold the asexual part. He seems to be confused by sex and I'm confused as to why Claire's character would want to be with him. She also has an interest in Jason Schwarztman's character who is a complete loser which makes you just throw your hands in the air wondering how can such a gorgeous woman have such low esteem. It eerily feels like a poor man's David Lynch movie only with a resolution that no one could possibly buy.
Home Economics (2021)
Turrible
Outside of the talented Topher Grace this show is the definition of unfunny. It tries too hard to be funny and ends up cringeworthy.
