Presumed Innocent

So I have waited, unfortunately, for a great, bing-watching show to come out and this surprisingly didn't disappoint. Excellent TV and Movies are hard to find. You have to wait forever, unless of course you consume junk or anything. I admit, I was hesitant to watch this series since Jake G. is not my favorite. You pretty much already know you'll get a high-anxiety, over the top, stressed out character from beginning to end. His anxiety is always on full display, but to this storyline's favor, it certainly works. Of course you'll have to have your twist ending, which I didn't love at all, but overall it's an excellent, addictive show worth all the high praise and ratings. The music, lighting, sound, casting...also all on point.

Eric

This has got to be one of the most discombobulated shows I've ever watched. People keep praising Benedict's performance which was overrated. Playing a schizophrenic self-destructive alcoholic. His self-destruction just became too unrealistic and annoying to watch. Then to add the extreme of a trans character (cuz of course you can't leave them out, but I actually liked the character bc he was pretty believable)... but it bounced off this broody, dark mumbling detective, and a so-called Mom that's grieving. Where are her parents? How is she sitting around eating cookies watching TV on the couch? Where are her friends? This major case and no one is there at the house to monitor the phones, etc. This show got worse every single episode. It felt like a lot of scenes were looped and the storyline just dragged on.

All the Light We Cannot See

I could see where they were trying to take this series, but the acting was so childish and the scenes were so phony. This should be for kids. The book made all the headlines, only for the adaptation to be so terribly weak.

5

Fair Play

I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life for this fantastic buildup throughout the movie, only to fall dead flat at the end. What a waste.

6

Riding in Darkness

Kinda slow but may be worth the watch if you have time.

Who Is Erin Carter?

Can't believe this girl went from Snabba Cash to this unrealistic, fake, bootleg, boring TV series. Completely whack!.

8

A Thousand and One

This movie was so dope and captivating. Days later I was still thinking about it. Plus, T did her thing with the acting.

2

Hijack

Unbelievably FAKE and boring

9

Thin Blue Line

Very slow start. I thought I was just watching random, police problems... Then FINALLY a plot started to seep through. Then it was engaging for both seasons. However, the end was traumatizing. So much so I don't think I would want to watch S3 if they aired it in the future.

7

Black Bird

Creepy, slow burn drama, but engaging enough to keep watching. Very surprised Apple TV had something worth while to watch and keep watching till the end. Such a boring app.

5

Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Wasn't a fan of Niecy Nash's constant lines. Her & Dahmer didn't even interact that closely or that often.

8

Love & Death

Definitely like Elizabeth Olsen's version than Jessica Biel. This version seemed much more believable. Elizabeth's acting is getting stronger and better!

4

Trial by Fire

Slow burn. Horrible, boring, & useless ending.

7

Succession

The dialogue was off. I couldn't comprehend what was being said if the captions weren't on. Way too much unnecessary swearing and profanity.

8

Big Little Lies

Slow but a good burn

10

The Queen's Gambit

The quality of writing, the plot, acting, scenery, music doesn't get much better than this.

7

Mare of Easttown

Worth watching. Very slow at some parts, but it definitely picks up.

9

Unbelievable

Exceptional

5

Money Heist

Stupid & entertaining

8

Ozark

One of the most irritating and suspenseful shows, but over the top unreal.

Jai Bhim

Long but inspiring

7

The Mother

First half was boring. Second half was a lot better.
