Mum (2016)
Oddly interesting
I'm not quite sure what to think about this show. Season one was hard to make up my mind but something about the characters kept me watching. Obviously some of the characters are supposed to be exaggerated. In season two I think it's hilarious how Pauline acts like all the features of their large house are somehow novel, when those are all normal things in homes in the United States. The overall plot of the show is pretty predictable. The girlfriend is as dumb as a bag of rocks and it's sort of interesting how people put up with her.
I really wish they had picked a different theme song for the show. This song is absolutely horrible and there's no way to skip through the intro for every episode.
The Patient (2022)
Ruined with religion
I really like Steve Carell, and I was really excited to see him in a thriller. Overall, I think he did a great job, but some of the other actors were definitely less than stellar. I thought it was good until you start to see how the entire show has religion shoved in it, this time Judaism, and they start to draw similarities with his situation and the Holocaust, and then the dead horse kicking begins. I got to episode five and then quit watching. And yes, of course I know how it ends which then just made the rest of it completely unnecessary to watch. Psychological thrillers can be very good, but leave the freaking religion out already. It ruins everything.
Poldark (2015)
Tiring Plot
I love period pieces and thought this started out really good. Most of the actors are good but oh my the plot latches on to the plight of the poor and not only kicks the dead horse but rips it award, sets it on fire, reanimates it, shoots it and then kicks it again. The show gets very boring and repetitive. After the first 3 seasons, you would think the plot would move on and just do something already. Go somewhere else, see something new, make a discovery of some sort but no, lets have more dead babies and more rioting poor. How did the show get this far. PBS must think we have never heard of poverty of something. This is an unnecessary plot line to keep dragging the crap out of season after season.
Pretty Smart (2021)
Complete crap, skip it.
The storyline could be OK but the characters are complete garbage. I am not really sure what they were trying to do with this show. You will not regret passing on this show.
Bridgerton (2020)
Shallow
Bridgerton has nothing on Downton Abbey or The Tudors. I even like Reign better than this. Historical accuracy ALWAYS matters hence why Hamilton is garbage and Bridgerton is a joke.
Girlfriends (2018)
It's alright
I was hoping the show would get better because I like the actresses but it's just one shit show after another. Nothing funny ever happens in it either to break up any of the seriousness. Not surprised that it was canceled.
American Housewife (2016)
Awful show
Just wow. Katy Mixon was funny in Mike and Molly, but not at all in this one. Not sure why trying to glorify being fat and ignorant is supposed to be funny. Why the hell would she take a role like this. Fat housewives already have a reputation being angry and jealous and this character just keeps feeding it.
