Drew Michael: Red Blue Green (2021)
comedy in tragedy and brilliant
I love people who say "this is not comedy". Why, because it doesn't fit THEIR perception of comedy. Dumb. As if comedy should BE a certain way. That's just short-sighted. Even dumber, people who think he's got issues that he needs to work out so he must be damaged. Uh, no. If you believe that you are being played. These are the same kind of people who think Kevin Hart is funny because he makes fun of being short, talks fast and loud, and makes dumb faces. People criticize Drew for making insighful examinations of human behavior and relationships in an ironic and satiric manner. If you don't think it's funny that's fine, go watch Kevin Hart. I've never laughed out loud once watching Hart. Here's the funny thing, Hart is commenting on the same stuff as Drew and a million other comedians. The difference. Kevin Hart states the obvious in an unoriginal trite way. Drew goes way deeper maing it compelling AND funny. Here's a Kevin Hart joke: "Relationships nowadays = First week: I love you baby...Second week: Together forever...Third week: Single.. Can you be any more pathetic Kevin Hart? Drew blows you away.
Beef (2023)
Don't believe the hype
The premise is juvenile. Of course road rage exists. Some have even ended in murder.
This is not an original idea. The show tries to straddle a line between dark humor and serious drama but the script is completely unrealistic. The comedy and drama don't mix well at all. It's full of silly characters and well worn out platitudes about life.
The ending is predictable and sappy. The acting from Steve Yeun is good but the female lead is a disaster.
People forget so quickly what a really good show is capable of. Road rage taps a nerve. And it is a reflection of the society we live in but it's neither new or an original artistic derivative.
The characters here are ludicrous representations. Not of the idea that people can lose their minds but in the way they are constructed and how they behave.
If you think about a show like Sopranos you see facets of character that play off of most every element of human personality and the social dynamic. This show is one note cliche ridden sensationalism.
In shows like Sopranos, The Wire, Twin Peaks, The Leftovers, Succession, The Simpsons etc etc. The list goes on, characters and their social interactions are so well drawn that even in their darkest moments it remains compelling. So many better shows than this. In 3 months this show will be looked at as a passable amusement. Nothing more than a good amusement park ride.
The Last Rite (2021)
Really bad
Somebody here said this was a "chilling masterpiece" and on Rotten Tomatoes it got %100. There's something wrong here because this movie is bad. Acting, direction, script...you name it. BAD. The fix is in.
