The Recruit (2022– )
3/10
Shame about the crappiest Eastern European accents!
19 December 2022
Why can't they practice their Eastern European accents better? It totally spoilt the enjoyment of this. Otherwise, half decent plot, adequate pace, diversity of actors and lots of twists that keep you on edge. Other notable aspects are the stereotypical characters that you'd expect to see on an episode of family guy, from the stressed out paranoid guy, trigger happy personnel, the super geek and the Black chief. But of course, the hero has to be the white unassuming guy that stumbles across a national secret that has been overlooked by everyone else. Oh and of course the 'will they won't they' become more than professional. Someone please come up with something different! Tired of these narratives that have now become standard today If family guy can do a skit then it's time to do something different.

Superior Donuts (2017–2018)

How is this show rated so highly?
16 May 2018
Normally, the discrepancy on IMDB is between 1-2, possibly 3 on the odd occasion. However, this show's rating is weirdly over inflated. It is so poor that I literally cringe with the acting, delivery and the never ending over use of outdated clichés. The pay must be the only thing attracting these actors to keep on filming as surely they must sense that it's not working. Please put them out of their misery and cancel this rubbish and not The Last Man On Earth!

Don't believe the ratings here!
9 April 2012
Don't understand the low scores here, usually IMDb's ratings are fairly accurate though I was surprised the rating it received. This is a play not a movie and yes initially I was expecting a Tyler Perryesque Gospel show and had my finger on stop when I thought an outburst of gospel or a overloud preach of a 'Lord of mercy on your soul' would commence. Not at all, no preaching just a nice warm play about the role of power, love and commitment in relationships. Really nice and well scripted and acted. Well done, it'd be great to see this as a movie too. Ps I'm very critical so 5 is a good score from me so don't be dissuaded or disheartened by that. TC Max

Jack and Jill (I) (2011)

Bad beyond comprehension though I'll try!
9 April 2012
Wow, subjectively this is bad beyond comprehension, objectively its such a shame that there are budding directors and screenwriters trying to get a break yet the financiers are wasting $millions on garbage like this. How did Sandler feel after filming this 'yeah that was great lets do another one'. Please do not waste your time in seeing this, read a book, fly a kite, spend time with the family doing anything other than watching this rubbish. Surely nothing good can come from this? Mr Pacino, what on earth were you thinking of agreeing to play a role in this? How will Sandler come back from this, can he recover from this, time will tell?
