Elsbeth (2024)
Waste of excellent talent
I'm a big fan of the Good Wife and Good Fight and loved Carrie Preston in both, but the poor writing and premise of this show is a waste of her talent and the character she brilliantly portrayed in the other shows. The same with Wendell Pierce, another complete waste of talent on this show.
I really don't understand the 10 star ratings. Each episode is getting progressively worse. Episode 5 is unwatchable- I stopped it after 12 minutes. The scene between the tennis coach (Blair Underwood) and the ball girl was so horribly written and cringe worthy that it was impossible to continue watching. The show's formula also quickly gets tiresome and by this episode it was a bore.
The Offer (2022)
How did I not watch this sooner!
I had been hesitating because I thought a show about the making of The Godfather would be moody and slow. I was so wrong. This is incredible story telling that had me hooked right from the start.
The cast is absolutely amazing...all extremely strong performances. Mathew Goode as Bob Evans is perfect in every single scene. I thought Justin Chambers as Marlon Brando was a strange choice, but he really pulled it off. Miles Teller and Juno Temple also were incredible and had great chemistry in the show.
It might not all be historically accurate, but it was extremely entertaining. It's really my favourite show of the year.
Meet Cute (2022)
Don't waste your time
Pete Davidson is simply unwatchable. I don't understand how he keeps getting cast for movies. He is a terrible actor who cannot pull off this role and didn't make for a believable love interest in the movie.
The plot itself is boring and has been done so many times before. The characters were not likeable or interesting enough to hold my attention to the end. I couldn't watch past the first half of the movie.
I guess the 3 stars are for Kaley Cuoco, although you can easily exchange this character for the one she played in Flight Attendant. Not a very original performance, but she is a great actor.
