Baggage Battles (2012)
lost the will to watch
This truly is awful. The premise is three teams 'battle' each other to bid at auction on sealed boxes. Then they open the boxes to see what 'treasure' they find. Then 'treasure' is taken to 'expert' for them to value.
This seems, to me, to be set up. For example, one of the battlers opens a box full of junk hats, but guess what? in the bottom is an astronauts helmet with blue prints for a Skylab item tucked inside! How did whoever put random hats into the box miss this! There are numerous other occurrences in other boxes, but i got bored after watching 3 episodes of this.
The show is very contrived, where is the battle? it would be more interesting if the participants had to actually fight with whatever 'treasure' they found
The Little House (2010)
not as good as the book
I read the book by Philippa Gregory a few years ago and thought an adaptation of the book would be worth watching.
However, the T.V. version did not have the menace of the book. The T.V. series might have worked better as a three parter as the 2 parts seemed to be rather rushed.
Why was the male teacher character in it?, what was the role of the sister in Canada? why did the dad change character in the last half hour? Who were the American relatives (and why were they mentioned at all?)
And worst of all why change the ending - the ending in the book was far more clever
