Into the Dark (2018)
It's funny!
Reading the reviews, it seems a lot of people wanted something different from this - maybe it was promoted badly? I went in blind, with no preconceptions, so I don't know.
To me, the closest comparison is Scream - a slasher comedy, but the funny seems to have been lost on a lot of people reviewing it.
I was entertained throughout, though admittedly never scared, and Bateman is really pretty to look at. I'd recommend this to women (who get the best characters) and people who aren't hardcore horror fans, but like something a bit lighter and funnier.
Instinct (2018)
All the stars go to Alan Cumming
I'm late to the party and only 4 episodes in, but I will watch the entire season, as long as they keep putting Alan Cumming in practically every scene. He is so charming, and the relationship with his partner is so adorable, that I don't care that the cases are bland and the writing weak. I hope the show will grow to better match it's star's abilities, but even if it doesn't, it will be worth watching, just for Mr. Cummings.
Vice Principals (2016)
Uneven and not for everyone
I've watched 3 episodes so far and am having trouble making my mind up about the show. I don't like cringe comedy, so watching Danny McBride's character is painful most of the time, except when he's in scenes with Walter Goggins. The two of them together, I find very funny.
Comedy is very subjective, so some people will like this and some won't - probably more won't than will, this isn't broad comedy. The leads are horrible people; Goggins' character is evil in a charismatic and devious way, while McBride's character is evil in a stupid and small minded way. Personally I find devious evil funnier than stupid evil, but that's just me. They do terrible things to better people and there isn't really anyone to root for in this
If you're a fan of McBride you'll probably like this, or if you just want to watch the world burn.. Personally I've started skipping the scenes without Goggins, but I'll still watch the next episode, because despite all the things I don't like about the show, there are moments of hilarity.
