Still a Mystery (2018)
Did the show make some of them say this line?
I have seen some of these stories on other shows, and never have I heard some of them say "if he was white, they wold be all searching for him, or her" Almost every single minority family said this, in this show. It is almost like the show made them, or they would not cover their story. I believed this even more so when the black girl states the she does not believe it is racism but that could have played a part, out of nowhere, as if she was answering a question by producers not shared as part of the show. I am not saying this is not ever the case, and I am sure there are cases out their where this happens, or it is a mater of just not caring for the victim, but even in the same show, there were tons of stories where the victim was white, and the family states that the police failed them. Some of the stories were blaring failures to preserve the crime scene, collect evidence, take statements and the victims were white... EVEN IN THIS SHOW. My thought is most departments are either lazy or under trained.
The Boys (2019)
It's Decent But Major Flaws
First off, I love all the reviews about evil large corporations for a show put on TV by one of the largest corporations out there, the irony is not lost on me. Main 3 issues with show. The anti church and anti government themes would make more sense...if the show didn't write them wrong. The military didn't even want the superhero's in the military until they forced their way in. The superhero's don't even believe in patriotism, Homelander admits as much when he was talking about the design of his cape. Everything they say shows them and Vought just use that because they know the public loves that stuff, not because they really believe in it. Another bad write. It seems most reviewers missed that because a lot of them talk about how this show shows how bad patriotism is... they don't even believe in it. Last, the church angle. No way Christians would believe superheros are from God. More likely, they would label them as being false idols. The nazi storyline is not original and way overdone.
The show does have it's good points. But, you can clearly tell this is a left leaning show...which doesn't even get its intended themes right because you can poke holes in all of them.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
What is Going On With This Show
I wanted to like this show, and in fact, watched all the way up and through season 3, but it is hard to take. The support actors are far better than the main actor.. June does nothing but constantly either stare at the camera (you could cut about 20 minutes out of the episodes with all the starring that she does) or she does something selfish that gets someone killed. I could create a long list of why this show doesn't make sense. I also agree with others that she has broken every rule, and nothing major has happened to her, which is not believable, in any way, shape or form. For those that claim people that don't like this show don't understand it, no I understand it, and could give actual reasons why this show makes no sense, instead of the blanket reasons I read for why the show is so great. June is allowed to break all the rules, and everyone has to do things when she wants, how she wants, and if you don't well look out! To those that think this is what the future of America could look like.. yeah, grow up, there are countries where this is already happening. Women faces issues similar to this every day, in these countries. This is not your liberal swan song, or your metoo anthem How selfish to try to make this about you. I ask people do they understand this is happening to women in other countries, this is not about you. To those of you who whine about how scary this show is because we are so close to this, grow the f up, and go try living in a country where women have real struggles.

Want To See Where It Goes
First of all, this show is slow moving, and you almost want to pull at the TV screen to get the next twist out. (After watching a few Apple TV shows, this is a common theme in most of them that I have seen) But, I do enjoy this show! I am hooked and can't wait to see what happens next. That last line of the show's first season was brilliant and all I could say to the screen is no!! Don't end there!! I think the concept is great and dark all at the same time, and again, have no idea where it is going to go, but wanting to find out. The actors do such a great job, and make you believe it. This is a great show, and if you don't mind having to wait for answers, one to check out.
