Good Omens: Chapter 6: Every Day (2023)
Sheen is getting all the accolades but Tennant makes the finale
I'm sure it's been said but these two are a Masterclass. Michael Sheen has gotten a lot of the credit for this season (rightfully so) his performance sold the beautifully written story and created the build up to this episode's final moments. However, I don't think David Tennant is getting the credit he deserves for bringing Crowley to life in this new part of the story. Watching him walk through heaven was jarring just as it would have been in my head had I read that scene in a book! The moment after Crowley kisses Aziraphale we see his heart break and it is gut wrenching. Absolutely impeccable performance from both leads in this show, not to mention the supporting cast! I can't seem to pray anymore but I truly hope this strike ends soon and the writers and actors get everything they deserve and more. Shame on the studios and executives that undermine and undervalue the work of the talent that makes them wealthy.
The Watcher (2022)
Ridiculous
There are so many complaints about the ending but I couldn't even finish half the episodes. The writing is dreadful. Not one of the characters are likable or even that interesting. It's as if the show was written by a computer program. Even the music is baffling, out of place and over the top. There are some incredibly talented performers in this cast and the setting is gorgeous. Am I dense and missed this was supposed to be parody? Did the creators actually want to tell this story? Maybe they wanted to tell too many stories so they shoved them all together? So many questions for so much nonsense.

Who got daddy to foot the bill?
Someone found the play they wrote freshman year after reading Dante for the first time. They stretched it into an 8 episode arc by adding the one profanity they know to every sentence. The actors were told to shout as much as possible to really give some dramatic effect.
Sense8 (2015)
Wish fulfillment tv
I don't know if it really deserves a 10 but I want it to. If the first two episodes hadn't been so confusing and muddled this may have had the viewership it deserved. Even toward the end it suffered from a messy narrative making it difficult to know how we got to where we were but the story itself is worth the effort. I wish this was a book series. I would stay with these characters until they were old and grey.
BH90210 (2019)
Great fun but could be a great show
I only vaguely recall the first couple of seasons of 90210 but the characters are iconic and the og show was so much a part of pop culture in it's day that the new show was great fun. The whole Shannon D thing was distracting and disappointing. Why not just own the drama you created? 90210 wasn't the only show she got booted from, why not go with it? Trying to make her a good guy is a missed opportunity for her and the show.
