StartUp: Hostile Takeover (2016) Season 1, Episode 9

Wait...what?

[3/10 · 26 May 2021]

So let me understand.... Nick invests $1.8M but owns 0 shares Ronald invests $300k but owns 0 shares Wayne Knight invests $1.5M but owns 0 shares

What exactly did they buy with their investment?

I realize that the company "lost" the money but what does that have to do with investor shares?

I'm not a savvy investor but this made no sense to me.

Magic for Humans (2018–2020)

I was impressed until the last episode of season 3

[3/10 · 30 May 2020]

I have watched the pinata "trick" multiple times. There is LITERALLY no way to do it without camera tricks and/or the audience being in on it. So disappointing that this revealed to me that camera tricks could have been used on other tricks.

I'll Save You Several Hours of Your Life

White Men are bad.

Silly you for thinking there would be any real social experiments done here.

Prank Encounters (2019–2021)

Camera Man Visible

[1/10 · 6 November 2019]

At about the 17 min mark of episode 2 you can see a guy following the actors around with a large video camera. This is right in front of the so-called "marks."

Why don't you just make a REAL prank show?!? Why lie to the viewers? Also- if you are going to lie and make a staged show like this, why not make it MORE interesting? This is sooooooo boring. I'm done

Black Summer (2019–2021)

Good Plot. Poor Writing.

[3/10 · 13 April 2019]

Why can't writers create scenarios where the characters make rational choices?

• Leaves 10 year old alone to stay with infected husband
• Never shut doors daughter behind them when running from zombies.
• Continues to speak Korean when obviously no one understands Korean.
• Bangs on a drum when everyone is obviously trying to stay quiet.
• Split up and chase a kid that is obviously leading them to a trap
• Empty a clip into a zombie after you know it takes a head shot which you did earlier.
• Attack a running car for gas when they are passing hundreds of abandoned cars.
• Sits down and reads book after setting off boobie trap.
• Yells " Is anybody there?" as loud as you can when you know zombies are near by.
• Walks into grocery store and doesn't lock open doors behind him.

Let's also throw in some redneck white guy making xenophobe comments for good measure.

Death by Magic (2018)

Jump Cuts

[1/10 · 6 December 2018]

I'm sure he is a great magician and it's possible that he is not using "camera tricks." However, when the producer/editor constantly uses camera cuts in the middle of each trick you can't help but feel cheated..... Not amazed.

If you want viewers to feel the magic, you have to shoot it in one continuous shot.
