The Offer (2022)
Outstanding
In a sea of streaming platforms choked with hours of very average programming, The Offer stands tall. One of the best limited series I have seen. The story has legendary status because of The Godfather. The actors performances are without peer especially Matthew Goode. It's so good it can be watched over 3 or 4 times, and you see story elements that you missed on first viewing.
Pretty Smart (2021)
Just Bad!
Bad acting, poor storyline, laughable laugh track. Michael Rosen has gone from a highly credible performance in Pretty Little Things to this schlock. He is capable of much better.
RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under (2021)
Appalling
Apart from the fact that Drag Race has been done to death, the Down Under version scrapes the bottom of the barrel. A bunch of talent limited queens from Australia plus some Kiwis making up the numbers due to filming in Auckland. The episode tonight about a spread in a jar crossed the line of humour to plumb the depths of down right disgusting. The contestants, producers and RuPaul knew the episode had crossed the line so tried to disguise it by a lot of contrived PC chat and learning moments for all us red neck Australians. If the series gets another season, they have to film it in Australia and access 'celebrities' that at least some of us have heard of.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
It's not The West Wing in Chicago!
A long winded tedious film that frankly would have been better if it wasn't so verbose, hard to follow, and poorly directed. It assumes that every viewer knows the background to the Chicago7(8).
Downton Abbey (2019)
Fantastic
I loved the Downton Abbey movie, but the limits of a movie were very evident. The plot lines were probably best served and fleshed out in the series format, because every story line was glossed over and resolved too quickly without being set up properly. That said I loved every minute of it and could have sat through another hour. There was enough story lines left unresolved for the next movie; Downton Abbey-Requiem of the Dowager!
