Midnight Mass (2021)
So, what's the deal with the high rating?
Are viewers afraid they're going to go to the hot place if they don't rate what is practically five sermons held together by a giant pink rat that eats cats, above a 2?
I literally just read a review that rates this mess a 10 and says: "Episode 6 and onward is good." Dude! There are 7 episodes in the entire series. You give it a 10 despite the other 5 (and in my opinion the last 2) being not good?
It's time for some normalcy in the world. This ain't it.
Time Trap (2017)
10-Stars? REALLY?
So, you have a group of people who go into a cave, while time proceeds faster on the outside of the cave ... BUT when one of the people actually is able to get out of the cave AND COME BACK ... somehow, miraculously, time did NOT proceed faster on the outside while they were outside and they came back to the group they left, no older and without time passing. Plot hole? No. Plot CHASM.
And yet, the planted reviews expect people to buy that this is a film worth even 3 stars? Be for real.
Hopefully the studios from which the creators are vying for jobs, will watch this drivel disguised as "film" and will (rightfully) laugh at them. Until then they should continue to fIuff up the ratings with new accounts (God knows they need to), as it appears to be the only thing they're good at.
American Gods (2017)
Oh. My. God.
How I love me some leprechaun!
Fine. To be fair, I pretty much love all the characters in this beguiling, quirky, sadistic, verging-on-soft-porn, gift of a show. How very much I will miss them all until Season 2.
Thank you, Bryan Fuller for bringing us, among other notables, the wonderful Ian McShane, Ricky Whittle, Gillian Anderson, Crispin Glover, Emily Browning, Kristin Chenoweth, Orlando Jones, Bruce Langley, Yetide Badaki, Omid Abtahi, Peter Stormare, Cloris Leachman and my personal favorite, Pablo Schreiber.
Thank you for the well thought out script and bringing it to the 'small' screen in such a stylistic, no holds barred fashion. Thank you Neil Gaiman for the novel.
I could do with a little less sex (on screen) and a lot less politics, but I'll take it as long as you sandwich it as condiment on a meaty main dish.
See you next season. Please hurry.
