Training Day (2017)
1/10
Awful... just awful.
9 July 2017
I have to say I had a tough time watching this stupid show. And of course, I gave up after 3 or 4 episodes.

From the get go, the cast seems amateurish and the acting is lousy. Paxton (rip) is terrible. His lines, his faces and expressions. You get the sense that he is just doing it to have fun. His character is also awful and always on the verge of being a parody. Except that this show takes itself seriously which makes it more repellent.

Then there is the pace and editing. They are wrong, boring. Also, the visuals look amateurish, almost like a film college graduation project. It is that bad. The writing is full of holes and there is a complete lack of realism overall. The characters are boring, clichéd and one dimensional. Imagine all the stupid commonplaces you would put in a bad TV show, and all of them (I mean ALL) are present in this sad excuse for a show.

Of course this has nothing to do with Fuqua's exceptional Training Day movie. I won't get into why although I suspect anyone with sensibility and enough cinema knows what I'm talking about.

By the way, if you really want to see Paxton at his finest (if that is possible) you should see "A Simple Plan". That would be a good investment of your time.

Stay away from this ugly monster.
