Stalked in Paradise (2021)
Title says is all - Paradise but obsessed stalker no one sees is crazy
Beautiful scenery, but story drags.
The leads were decent actors, but the stalker and police and hired thugs not so much. Olivia and Dawson were likable, however, the term too stupid to live (TSTL) totally applies to no one figuring out Tyler is the stalker.
Spoiler Eye Rolls:
How the heck did Tyler get an unconcious Olivia out of the hospital and on the boat? And the TSTL scene on the boat when she threatens him with a knife to have him take it from her TWICE. But then she stabs him and everything is peachy keen for the ending.
S.W.A.T. (2017)
WOW! Wish I meant that in a good way
I grew up watching the original S.W.A.T series as a very young girl. Went to see the movie in the theater alone and have watched it multiple times. Loved Shemar Moore on Criminal Minds so was excited to see S.W.A.T revival. Sadly, I am DISAPPOINTED from the get-go. Really, Shawn Ryan? I can understand taking some artistic liberties, but there is no excuse for writing requiring a complete suspension of belief. From the opening set up of two cops going into the warehouse alone, to Hondo fighting with guy and saying he'll be there to take the shot (reckless disregard.) No cop would ride his motorcycle through the city like Jim Street did and then get to jog away from the officers. No. NO. NO! Then the shooting at the rally? What's the motivation for that? Just to show Street being reckless in going after the shooter and that he's an idiot - because that is not bravery. He's unlikable and would--and should--be kicked off the team for his actions. I had to stop watching and go make brownies to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
**Updated** I did watch the rest of the episode. Dang, you had to go and make the bad guys Army Special Ops soldiers gone bad. Curse you. And I watched the second episode so hoping for improvement, and it was better. Will watch the third before I give up on it for Big Bang reruns.
