Not a fan of Leigh Bardugo's books (although six of crows is better than shadow and bone). Honestly feel like this show is more enjoyable than the novels. Everyone is saying the changes are "minor" but uhh...they changed almost everything.

Anne with an E
(2017–2019)
Fine show. But it is not Anne of Green Gables
6 December 2020
The show is well made, acting is good, sets are nice. However, modern media has once again ruined a timeless classic by injecting it with their modern ideas and dilemmas and social issues. Don't get me wrong, a show about a young girl in the late 1800s dealing with abuse and hardship and all the struggles involved growing up in that time sounds like a great show. But it is NOT Anne of Green Gables. This is supposed to be a happy, wholesome show that teaches life lessons. Not this mangled mess. They're just capitalizing on the Anne franchise name. Another big issue is Anne's character. She is so unlikeable, cringey, manipulative and conniving. That is so wrong. Yes, book Anne lies sometimes and has a temper, but the show could not have gotten her more wrong.
Just another anti American movie

Single Parents
(2018–2020)
Incredibly unrealistic
23 February 2019
Like others have mentioned, it's like the writers have never met a child. I get they're trying to be funny and all but giving the kids adult personalities makes the show unwatchable. I work with first graders daily and imagining any of them saying a single thing that comes out of these kids' mouths makes me laugh (with ridicule). No child talks or acts like this!!!! They eat their boogers and mess up! I understand the importance of diverse representation but having an extremely flamboyant gay six year old who acts like a caricature should seriously offend LGBT people.
Stargate Universe
(2009–2011)
They canceled Atlantis for this?
17 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Awful. Why did they cancel the best show for this? I knew ever since I learned they were making a new show I would hate it. And I was right. I watched the first episode and was disgusted. I think it was time to let Stargate rest with the end of Atlantis.
That girl, brown haired what's her face, I don't care about her dad who was not appealing to begin with dying. The only mildly entertaining one was Eli. Watching it, I couldn't help but comparing them to Atlantis characters. Eli and Rush are both McKays. That dark guy was Shepperd. Brown haired girl is Teyla. Heck, there was one guy that even looked like Teal'c.

Coraline
(2009)
Predictable, Not for young kids
24 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie should not have gotten such good a rating. It was incredibly predictable. 20 minutes into the movie I had already predicted the rest of it, and 3/4ths of them came true. And Iit's really not for young kids, hey, I'm a 7th grader and I got creeped out. It was meant to be a horror movie just for kids, and it sure was.
The characters, to me,seemed empty and almost lifeless, unlike other and better animated movies. My first impression of Coraline was a heartless, cold girl that liked causing trouble. And my opinion stayed that way throughout the movie. That boy Wybie was completely unnecessary. The only creature I actually liked was the talking cat.
Coraline also seemed oblivious and a little dumb. I mean come on, if I walked into my kitchen and saw my mom with no eyes, just buttons, I'd run down the street screaming for the police, wouldn't you? But no, she acts like it's a completely normal occurrence in her house.
One of the reasons I wouldn't recommend this for kids is the scene with the old ladies doing their show. Not for kids to see. Also, it most likely scared a lot of kids that the 'other mother' murdered three children, took out their eyes, and locked their ghosts (and remains) in a dungeon-magic-mirror thing.
When I left the theater, I had hundreds of questions. Why did Coraline have to go in the tunnel? Why didn't she go to the library, rent a movie on on demand, something instead of climbing through a gross looking tunnel and practically get herself killed? Etc, etc.
