The Good Doctor: The Lea Show (2022)
Why do you have to put Claire back?
Every episode with Claire in it sucks! Here's another proof! Everytime she would just walk in the room and act like she saved the day while in fact she's the one jeopardizing her patient's life! And everytime it is Shaun who saved her ass! She did nothing but let other people clean up her mess, and then she was the crowned one? WTF? Dr. Lim was right, but Claire is still praised? For what? For believing she knows better just because she cares? I really can't stand this snob, why does it seem like I'm the only one?
Also, the wedding part disgusts me, too! I hate all those "running away bride/groom" plots. They show how irresponsible a person can be, and this show encourages this kind of behavior and let people think that's okay to be irresponsible and reckless? Can't you get things straight prior to the wedding? You're wasting money and everyone else's time and effort by acting like a couple of three-year-old who don't know what they want! And everyone else is indulging them? In the real world it would be the producer suing them and asking them to pay for a million dollars!
The Good Doctor: Decrypt (2021)
I'm sick of this show's moral standpoint!
Lying to a kind and generous woman to get her risk her life to donate her organ to a criminal is ABSOLUTELY WRONG! And the fact that the whole team even feel good about themselves after telling this lie is even more disgusting!
How can they persuade themselves that they're doing good things? Are they all a bunch of sociopaths? Don't you guys have moral standards? Especially when each and everyone in the show tends to see themselves as a saint! You people are so corrupted that you even believe that you're right and morally superior!
This show is so messed up that it keeps feeding us with this kind of crap!
The Good Doctor: Hurt (2020)
The stupidest episode so far
The writer must never have encountered any earthquakes to write such an illogical episode like this one.
First of all, if a building collapsed in an earthquake with this magnitude, its exterior wouldn't be intact and allow people to walk in!
Secondly, the firefighters and paramedics would be the first responding, and doctors wouldn't be allowed inside the collapsing building because there could be after shocks! Are they trying to get those doctors killed?
It hurts my eyes and causes me physical pain when watching this episode full of errors. Please watch some tv shows like 911 or Chicago to enhance your common sense prior to writing your script!
The Good Doctor: Fixation (2020)
It seems like everybody hates Lea
But I think she's more real. Other people who are not clueless knew that Lea treats Shaun as her "pet project", and her behavior is always consistent. She is exactly that kind of person in real world who could be very kind to people with deficiencies, but never treats them as an equal.
On the other hand, Claire is the worst kind of character ever, but everybody loves her? WTH? Why do people like phonies like her? She's super self-righteous; she always insists that every opinion that contradicts hers would be wrong; she acts like a saint but she's actually the most selfish person in the show! She only does nice things to others because that makes her feel good about herself! The blond girl is so much better a character than her! At least she's honest and not a hypocrite!
Person of Interest: Prophets (2014)
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was Person of Interest, not Terminator
I love this show. I really do. I consider this one of the best shows that I've ever seen.
BUT!!!
Why is the woman working for Samaritan is acting like a ROBOT??? This is not Terminator, is it? So why am I seeing a wanna-be T-X walking around in it? It really is a buzzkill....
Prison Break: Sona (2007)
Every character in this show is incredibly dumb!
I've had enough of this bs through out the entire season two.
It's so apparent that the screenwriter deliberately made every character an idiot so as to cause drama and extreme predicable "twist". I watch every episode with a heart rate of 50 simply because the plot is so lame that doesn't even contain any thrill, yet it always causes my blood pressure sky high coz it's beyond stupidity!
Every time these so-called "fugitives" finally lose their pursuers and meet up in front of some vehicle, they'd DEFINITELY take their time catching up with each other at their current location. It never occurs to them that they should talk on the road. They just have to decide that "hey, this is a great spot to chat! Let's hang out a while longer so that our pursuers can catch up!"
And when their pursuers, driving a police car, do catch up with them, they would just ABANDON their vehicle, a boat on water, and decide that "hey, it's faster to run on foot than by vehicle! Because a police car obviously can float on water and outrun our boat!"
This is literally the stupidest show I've ever seen!
Bird Box (2018)
Don't understand all the criticism
This film is better than I expected. I knew nothing about the hype about this film, coz I'd never heard of it before I saw it, so I watched without any bias or anticipation, which was a good thing.
People complain about the lack of "explanation", but why is it necessary? The whole apocalypse is nonsense to begin with and it's just the factor of the whole "end-of-the-world" background setting, it's just like zombie or global warming or Ebola. You don't need to know why or what. You just accept it. And the director doesn't have to give the audience any satisfaction of "fighting against the unknown evil and defeating it", because it doesn't matter!
What matters is the humanity and the transformation of the characters in it. You see the two a**holes steal the car. You see the coward turn into a hero, albeit not convincing coz you just don't overcome your cowardice in a minute. You see how differently your aspects change according to which side of the door you're on. None of these is new or mind-blowing moral arguments, but they're well knit and hence make it a good story.
However, there is one thing I hate about it. Humanity is supposed to be more ugly and people are supposed to be more selfish than it is in the film. When Malori was forced to decide which kid to be the one risking his/her life, the audience knows immediately that director/author deliberately created this dilemma for the audience to ask themselves what their choice would be. And stop kidding yourself--most people would choose the one that's not your kid with no doubt, and the kid would be crying and refuse to comply, and then everyone would just die lol But because it's Sandra Bullock, and because it's a "film", ergo it's supposed to be bright and selfishless.
But at the end of the day, I still quite enjoy the film and don't mind watching it a second time.
Us (2019)
Can't be more disappointed
The trailer seemed intriguing, and that's why we, as audience, want to find out more about the whole mysterious event, right? So, we decided to stay with it and to see where it went. Unfortunately, it's not as interesting as we expected.
There're so many things in the plot that can't be logically explained, but I can get by without trying too hard to persuade myself that "it's just a movie, don't take it too seriously." But the thing that bothers me the most is that--why does the director feel like he needs to prove what we've already guessed several minutes later to create the so-called "suspension" without any effect? Come on! Of course we all know they switched identity and places right at the moment they met, what makes you think there'd be any suspension left when the moment had passed? And it's not your first thriller/horror movie! You did so great the last time! What happened to you?
The whole story doesn't make any sense, and I don't feel like there's anything deep in it. With Get Out, it's mind-blowing. With Us, it just makes you sleepy and just want to get over with it like having a bad sex.
House of Cards: Chapter 18 (2014)
Just one question
Why does Hollywood always have to make actors, who obviously can't speak Chinese, speak crappy Mandarin? What, no Chinese speaking actors in the U.S.? Most of the time I don't understand what those people say, so why bother to have them speak some language they never learned? It also happens when it's Japanese or Korean or some other foreign language.
Although, to be fair, Gerald McRaney, who played Raymond Tusk, obviously put some effort in trying to speak Mandarin as well as he could. I'll give him that.
I know my "review" is unrelated to the plot but more of an accusation against the whole industry, but I just couldn't take it anymore.
Black Mirror: Crocodile (2017)
Andrea Riseborough's acting is incredible!
Gotta be honest, when watching Oblivion, I didn't pay too much attention to her, although to be fair, that movie was all about Tom Cruise to begin with...Didn't know she's such a talented actress until I watched this episode. She did a terrific job portraying a mother, a successful woman who would do anything to make sure her life wasn't changed.
In the beginning of the story, she was completely innocent. But along with the story progressing, she got herself deeper and deeper, into destruction. It was always an accident, and then a cover up, and then a determined homicide, and there's more cover up. It was not like she wanted to outsmart the law enforcement to prove anything. It was simply about covering up your dirty little secrete. There's a Chinese saying that goes, "Once you mounted on a tiger, there's no way for you to get off from its back", meaning even if you want to stop, to get yourself away from the situation, it'd be more than difficult to do it. Like it or not, if you're already on the back of a tiger, then you must stay there, for there's no other way out.
As for the "recall" system is also a debatable subject. In the show it tells us how convenient and helpful it can be if there's this tiny spying system. But it could also endanger your life. Curiosity may kill a cat. Of course you'd say even without the gadget the murderer would still try to kill all potential witnesses, besides, we shouldn't let those guilty ones live their lives without paying for their crime. True. But the insurance girl was investigating another totally irrelevant accident. She and her family would have survived if she wasn't digging that deep with the aid of the system. True, perhaps with that spying system, the clearance rate would be like 90%, but in the mean time, the death rate could also triple up, simply because "too many people know the truth."
