True Lies: Pilot (2023)
Reba Show's dufus son-in-law!
What is wrong with this show? It is action, adventure, tech, weapons, tech, it is super. So what is it? Not location, not story, the writers did good. What is so off? Harry Tasker!
The goofball from the awful comedy program REBA! The other cast members are okay and might improve over time, but Steve Howey is the fly in the pudding. I can only guess the producer creator developer sank money into the set/ location/ gadgets, and not enough to pay for a better cast. A nobody bodybuilder can do a better job. A guy with a commanding voice, but this man is Don Knots. Helen Tasker is nothing like Jaime Kee Curtis. Where did you dig her up? Very disappointing I expected better, even on a low budget
series. CBS lost Magnum PI, and this is on? What a blundering move. Glad NBC picked up Magnum. I strongly doubt True Lies will make it. Two years?
The Art of Racing in the Rain (2019)
Major tear jerker.
Cute dog, Kevin Costner, racing, the the beginning is a great anticipation of things to come. I figured another Ford vs Ferrari movie. But no. This evolves into a horrid sentimental soap, a grand tear jerker, and not much racing at all. The dog monologs starts to grind a half hour in. The story is mundane at best, and since I saw the ending a few days back, I quickly turned it off, happy not to go through the ending again. The title the art of racing in the rain, should be the suffering inA flood of sorrowful topics just keeps coming. The deluge. Racing was thrown in a couple of minutes once in a while. Maybe they had no budget. That is the only explanation. This makes a great template for other tales of woe. The drver is easily substituted by a pilot. Throw flying on the TV screen. A combat soldier. A police officer, any number of high risk jobs can be plugged in, add a new title and voila!
Another cute dog tear jerker. A series perhaps, a series of a dog observing sad family tale. Gag!
Fire Country (2022)
Fake! Urban melodrama
Pump but no pressure hose, fire on two sides in parallel lines of hay, gutted barn and they are wasting water. The girl couldn't ride the horse out? Is this written for five year Olds. A tanker is anything that carries water? A chain saw in a field, are they cutting the dirt? Such a long burn and the barn is still standing. YAY they saved the barn, horse, and girl. Fire Lt. Told me he won't wash this joke of a show anymore. So low budget they couldn't find a real fire wildcatter or firefighter to tell them how off they are? Urban Millennials with no exposure to fire services provides gut busting laughter. Too bad it is a melodrama not a comedy. At least then they really could get away with it...
THIS WONT LAST LONG.
Professionals: The Knives of Friends (2022)
Mummy type adventure!
Brendan Freiser, It finally hit me. Action Adventure Comedy! The mosquitos in the box, the launch director professor in Ireland wearing a suit with flip flops, this is another mummy laughter movie. That's great! I missed those. I hope they continue this line. Freiser as Rick O'Connell was unforgettable. However Brendan and Tom need to get to the gym and drop a few lbs. Too many burgers have them sporting triple chins. Nonetheless, they are actors worth watching despite their low self esteem. No problem, they can always drop the weight. Hope the follow the Sommers formula.
Funny how Freiser resembles Elon Musk? I wonder if this story is a parallel of Spacex?
Mountain Men (2012)
So phony
All lone in the wilderness just the director, film crew, sound crew, armament crew, caterers, and how many more? Only urbanites who never left the city can wa. H this without laughing to death. It's a hoot that they lasted so long. There must be an incredible number of arm-chair outdoors-types watchung this shiw, or just fir laughs maybe.
No scratches, the actors look so papered that their maseus probably stands in the wings. Independantly wealthy, new boots, untorn clothes, the show is pure fiction. We watched a few and had a good old time laughing it up. Comedy?
Entertaining, not to me, I thought it was just plain sad.
The Real Love Boat (2022)
Another Brainless Reality Show
Another Brainless Reality Show. CBS and NBC are talking about making Primetime two hours not three because of low viewership. Shows like this, are one of the reasons. Game shows, reality, and low budget series are the reasons. Series directors produce soap opera level stories without technical consultants telling them that their ideas aren't plausible or are unreal for the time periods or specifications of props used is just insulting. The writers' think they can get away with IT attitude is insulting. Nobody is that stupid The networks cand fold up.
And the advertising, over and over every fifteen minutes the same Medicare ad, the same medical product ad, what happened to all the different advertisers? Where did they all go?. Do any of the network decision makers watch these offerings? I!d say not one had watched television in a very long time.
Walker: Independence: Home to a Stranger (2022)
Millennial Urbanites version
Another series where writers, directors, and producers refuse to pay for consultants. Modern lumber, weapons that didn't exist at that era, and the dialog belongs in a contemporary sitcom Doesn't historic accuracy matter anymore? Jabbering characters, is that the only point of concern? Appealing to those who ride a bus to work in a crowded City? You assume the audience consists of idiots who won't notice. Therefore you can getaway with it. We'll see how long you last. I'm betting not long.
I did not enjoy it. Should watch James Arness, John Wayne, Dale Robertson, ....
Few remakes succeed reboots. Only Magnum PI managed to duck the curse.
IMHO, this is boring and clunky, I will change the channel or go read a book.
Blood & Treasure: The Soul of Genghis Khan (2022)
They are back...
Wow after 2 years they are back yay! Though the series is interesting and if it stayed on CBS we would remain fans. BUT since only one episode is aired on network, that will be the last of it. Already paying for cable we won't be adding another hundred for paramount+.
Toodles! Really dislike CBS.
Poisoned in Paradise: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery (2021)
Peaceful enjoyment.
If you need a break from cruddy language, explicit sex, rape, torture, and bloody faces, this is great. A vacation from stressful viewing. I enjoyed the Canadian gentleness. Even if it is a murder mystery.
Magnum P.I.: Dream Lover (2022)
A smile inside
This show always leaves one warm, fuzzy, and smiling all over. Thank you for that!
Friendship, caring, and respect for people is something lacking in most other programs. COME ON SEASON FIVE!
American Auto (2021)
Comedy?
I am yet to laugh... Maybe giggled at the first self driving car. How did this get on network TV? Someone paid for this to air? Not a comedy, it's just pathetic. So bad.
