The Bear (2022)
Definitely not a comedy
I only made it through 4 episodes before I couldn't take any more. All the disagreements and arguing just left me with a feeling of angst. The acting seemed like it was improv, because there are so many ums and uhs. The writing is not good, most of the content doesn't seem plausible. There is no way that so many dysfunctional employees could last 1 day together.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Not your average retro space bounty hunter romp.
Nice production. Not for your run-of-the-mill, network, drama-loving, drones. Or your anime-worshipping geeks. More for someone that appreciates an original, stylized, adaptation of a well written anime classic.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Not as good as it could be. Or good as a B
With the particulars kinda compromised (compared to the book), it isn't quite the same storyline I think it was meant to be. The production seems mediocre. Rosemund Pike is very good, but the rest of the cast is again, mediocre. The cinematography is the bright spot of this attempt at a fantasy adaptation.
The Ultimate Surfer (2021)
A lotta talking, not much surfing.
Seems like it is targeted to adolescent idiots. Way too contrived.
