Pieces of Her (2022)
Good start and it declines quickly
It's rare that I am literally annoyed by a tv show or movie. This show is so bad, my wife and I were just praying for the end of the last episode so we could get on with our lives. Toni Collette is great as usual, but there were so many unlikeable characters, especially her daughter, that it makes watching excruciating. The "bad guy" was pretty much a caricature of tv bad guys -- although he was so creepy I had to look away at times. The story meanders and it seemed they just couldn't figure out how they wanted to end the show. Lazy writing, poorly developed characters, and just an unlikeable cast.
The Bite (2021)
Not your typical tv show!
Let's get this out in the open ... this is NOT a highbrow drama destined for multiple Emmy nominations.
This is a fun and campy drama/dark comedy that encourages us to look back at the peak of the COVID pandemic and laugh a little at how we handled it. There are those who denied the seriousness, those who politicized a public health crisis, those who were in a constant state of panic, and those who simply tried to help others and continue their lives as best they could. We observe the story's heroes and see the sacrifices, heartbreak and tough decisions they made for the greater good. Fun series. Well worth the time. Just go into it expecting a campy approach, not a serious drama or laugh out loud comedy.
