Ghost Nation (2019)
Extremely bad choices all around
I will start by saying that I am a complete skeptic, I watch shows like this purely for entertainment. And they can be very entertaining and, depending on the history of the location, very interesting.
However, my skepticism has nothing to do with whether or not I can enjoy the show. I enjoyed the original quite a bit. This show, however, is quite terrible on several levels.
Whoever decided to dub in questions in post production should be fired. All of these shows do voiceovers, I am referring to the additional voiceovers dubbed into a "live" scene. One of them is in a room asking questions, and suddenly in the middle of it the same person is asking a question that was clearly added in post production for reasons that I cannot understand. It's not like they had them go back and ask a question to fit some sort of evidence they found. You can always tell additional dialogue from the in the moment dialogue, no matter how good an editor or mixer is. But whoever did this work, wow, awful.
And the decision to have Jason Hawes put shackles on and walk around? I actually said out loud, "he's not going to actually do this, are you kidding me?" To say that was an extremely bad choice is an understatement. If more people were watching this show I would imagine that would've gotten quite a bit of attention and offended more than a few people. For obvious reasons. It WAS offensive and ridiculous. So out of touch it is stunning.
And did someone advise Steve to turn it up to 11 or what? In that same episode his reaction and over the top behavior made me cringe. Very very odd.
I have no idea what the ratings are for this, or for the rebooted ghost hunters. Which I'm also not a fan of, I just cannot warm up to the new crew. Regardless, unless they already had a deal in place for more than one season I cannot imagine a season two of this. Unless they are really desperate for programming.
Glam Masters (2018)
Is this a joke?
That's what I kept asking when watching this wreck. There is no glam and no mastering. I agree with the other 2 (at this time only 2 reviews are here) reviews. Laverne Cox is not right for this - the painful cue card reading, stilted, and unlikable.
These contestants? With all the beauty bloggers and vloggers, where did they find this group? Downright bizarre.
A "pop art" challenge and one contestant attempts what was supposed to be a question mark, allegedly. That was his makeup. Took an hour. I could have done it in 12 seconds - and given my lack of skill, trust me, that's saying something.
I was looking forward to this, love beauty and makeup and watching true artists at work! I am NOT an artist, so I always love to watch and learn, perhaps pick up new tricks. There is nothing here like that. They should just turn it over to Mario Dedivanovic and Kandee Johnson, that would be worth watching!
