Slow Burn and then it just fizzled out
3 November 2023
Do not waste your time on this series. First few episodes were good and then it gets boring. Really boring. I felt like the creators of this series were trying to steal my time. It felt like the makers of this series had a good plot, talented cast, great crew, etc but not enough interesting content for 8 hours. They strung this show out with random mysteries and Questions that never get answered. I stuck it out and watched to the end but wished someone had warned me to never start. The show was cancelled after one season for good reason. I'm warning you. Do not start. Save yourself. .....xxxxx.

Bodies: 'Do You Know Who I Am?' (2023)
Season 1, Episode 2
10/10
YES!
27 October 2023
Eight episodes never passed so quickly. Every episode was captivating. I get frustrated with shows that seem to drag things out. I get frustrated with shows that bounce through time and are hard to follow. I get frustrated with shows that don't come to a clear ending. None of those things happen with Bodies. It carries us clearly and seamlessly through four different time periods. Every moment of every episode draws you in. The final episode answers all mysteries and wraps up perfectly. The acting was phenomenal. Cinematography mesmerizing . Masterpiece of a series. I do recommend watching it when you have a few hours so you can watch multiple episodes in a sitting. I watched on long flight.

The Night Agent (2023– )
2/10
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
5 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I loved Bodyguard and The Diplomat. I thought this would be similar. No. Not even close. The writing is horrible. The acting is mediocre. The action, meh. I was ready to give up on episode 1 but figured I would give it a decent chance. Watched two episodes and wish I could get those two hours back. So many blunders. He's supposed to keep this witness safe until her debriefing so he rents an Air BnB? After second assassination attempt on the witness, they let her walk to the next safe house (a hotel) in broad daylight and are surprised she was found by assassins again? Power is cut in the hotel, it's pitch black, you know assassins are coming for the witness, and the FBI Agent tries to take the elevator? The power is out genius! Plus probably better to take the stairs to the sixth floor.

7/10
Cast is AMAZING, Story is meh
27 August 2023
DiCaprio and Hill give OUTSTANDING performances. But I rate it 7/10 because the film focuses WAY too much on the drugs, sex, and repugnant behavior. In my opinion this film characterizes Jordan Belford as an anti-hero when he is simply a narcissist and a con man. In my opinion, this film glorifies all the main characters as boys-will-be-boys who party excessively when they should be portrayed as criminals who lied cheated and stole to feed their greedy compulsions. The fact that they cast the real Jordan Belfort in a cameo is a slap in the face to his victims. I wish the film had shown the devastation he caused. Also, at three hours long the film is way to long. They could have told the same story if they cut out an hour of the explicit sex and drug use. There would still be two hours of sex and drugs.

Mrs. Davis (2023)
10/10
Great Series!!!!
23 July 2023
Two Thumbs up for Mrs Davis. Wow! From start to finish this show captures the attention and does not let go. Incredibly well written, edited, acted, everything. Eight episodes was perfect for full development of the characters while not dragging on. No filler here. Ending was perfect and unpredictable. I came across this series accidentally and I thank God I did (pun intended) Lots of Christian themes. I am an agnostic person. I do not follow any religion. But I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this show. With sooooo many reboots and recycled shows today it was refreshing to watch something truly original and entertaining. Watch Mrs Davis for a humorous and thought provoking eight episodes.

Fatal Affair (2020)
8/10
Entertaining typical stalker movie
18 July 2020
I don't understand why so many people rated this movie so poorly. Yes, it was a formulaic Lifetime Movie type stalker movie. But it was good. No surprises but the acting was good. Story was good. I don't know what more people were expecting.
