Love Me (2021)
Poignant, Hopeful, Beatiful
This adaptation from the Swedish version is so much better than I expected. It is so brilliantly cast, and Melbourne makes such a gorgeous backdrop for these three love stories. Bojana Novakovic (Clara) is beautiful, her comedic turns spot on, and her chemistry with Bob Morley (Peter) is undeniable. Morley himself shines as her love interest, equal parts funny, sincere, and achingly real. Hugo Weaving's (Glen) story is perhaps the most heartwarming and he plays the role of newly hopeful widow to perfection. I loved every minute of Love Me and I'll watch it repeatedly until the second season arrives. Love me? Yes. Yes I do. WELL DONE!
The Rookie: Threshold (2021)
Finally a season finale that makes me want to keep watching
I've enjoyed this show so far. Love police procedurals and I've been a big fan of Nathan Fillion since his Firefly days. The cast has great chemistry. Melissa is spectacular.
What I loved the most about this episode was the inclusion of Bob Morley. I know he had a small part but everything I've ever seen him in...he just steals the scene. This was no exception. And the inclusion of not one, but two Filipino actors (Bob and Alain) was really appreciated. We all love to see more inclusiveness in a cast and the Asian creative community deserves its time to shine! Please consider bringing Bob back for more eps! Best season so far and I'll be back next season.
The 100: The Dying of the Light (2020)
Jason Rothenberg is hateful to the audience...again
I can't tell if Jason Rothenberg or Kim Shumway is the biggest villain in this episode. Both exhibit a refusal to accept that audiences are weary of the standard sci-fi fare created by white men of a certain age that think being 'edgy' means mocking their viewers and any human connection they try to form with the characters. It should be a giant red flag that both the lead male and female actors have completely refused to promote this garbage all season. And it should be glaringly obvious that the show runner is vindictive, petty and unprofessional. Removing the lead actor's name from the opening credits? Really? Nice touch a**hole.
The 100: A Sort of Homecoming (2020)
The heart is gone, along with the head, the plot and any reason to keep watching
This show has disappointed me in infinite ways. Too many to list here, sadly.
