The Rookie (2018)
The one police show to that hates Police.
So, I recently watched "The Rookie", and I have to say that it's a decent show. The production quality is good, and the cast is solid. Nathan Fillion's performance as John Nolan is particularly impressive, and the show's action scenes and suspenseful moments are well-executed.
However, I did notice that the show has a lot of political messaging, especially when it comes to law enforcement. Some episodes highlight issues like police brutality and systemic racism within law enforcement, which are important issues to address. But at times, I felt like the show was too heavy-handed in its approach and lacked a balanced perspective.
Additionally, some viewers have criticized the show for having an anti-police bias, which I can understand. While it's important to highlight the flaws within law enforcement, I think it's equally important to show the positive aspects of police work as well.
Overall, I'd say that "The Rookie" is worth checking out if you enjoy police procedural dramas. However, if you're looking for a show that doesn't have a political agenda, this might not be the best choice for you.
Gotham Knights (2023)
one of the dumbest shows i have ever seen.
To believe these 3 morons could kill batman who fought the likes of Bane, Superman and the joker is moronic. Next lets force the kid to back to school within a day after his dad was killed. Lets just drop the 3 murders in the same room as Batman's kid. So who ever is writing this trash for CW needs to go back to batwoman. We only need one crap superhero show at a time. None of the characters are believable. Sure the jokers daughter is doing well with the trash they have given her but it is still trash. Lets have teenage kids with no lawyers talking to the police. Unless you like being tortured avoid this show.
The Last Kingdom: Episode #5.2 (2022)
Crash and burn
The show has been fantastic but season 5 bad guy is just terrible. The writers for sure failed this show. .Not sure if it was the writing or acting but she never succeeded in being really important to the show and suddenly she's the big bad guy at the end???? This is the shows climax?????
Hawkeye (2021)
Worth the watch
Best marvel series by far. Anyone giving this a rating below 6 has no business rating shows. Great story and new characters . So far not much of an agenda. Story is great.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Weak show
So we are suppose to feel bad for a terrorist who attempted to assassinate "Cap" but when his friend saves his life they then murder him instead. "Cap" hunts down and kills one of the guys that planned on killing him and in a whole hands up dont kill moment "Cap" who has been killing terrorists for years is not suppose to take out this terrorist? Lame.......
Invincible (2021)
Could not give it much
More shows that push social justice, characters are all single minded. It could be a better show if they drop the pandering.
Warrior Nun (2020)
Another one....
Woke propaganda piece. Same narrative. not worth your time. Episode 5 and still havent even started the plot of the show.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
5 episodes in
So so show. nothing stands out.
Cursing in the dialing very pushed and not needed.
Would not recommend.
Star Trek: Discovery: Project Daedalus (2019)
Weak
Very weak episode. How did the security officer survive? I dont mind a show but everything is pushed. Crying constantly is space. I know ST is a soap opera but come on. Every character on the bridge is weak and can't handle the death of a single character that wasn't any good anyway. Sorry Spock in episode 2 deserved a ullage.
Bored me but with Discovery shes probably not dead. Probably find out shes the first Borg or something.
Drop the engineer story line very boring, drop Michael, flush Tilley, fix Spock, keep Pike, drop the spore BS and write single episodes or 2 or 3 episode stories and drop the constant story line.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
I dont understand
I have been scrolling and scrolling looking for a single 10/10 to understand who in their mind would like this show. But after 10 pages of scrolling not a single one.
How is this show rated with way more 10s than 1s but all i can find is ones.
Another 1 for me. The Michael character can not act and is another Mary Sue. Only she can save the day.
The Tilly character reminds me of being in school and someone raking the chalkboard with 6 inch fingernails.....
Season 3 Ep 1. Beats the guy up then cries cause she can't be alone.......
Snowpiercer (2020)
10 minutes in
I'm rooting for the train controllers to dump the last car.
After episode 8 still rooting for the conductors to wipe out the tailies. But starting to root for the snow to win.
Ok episode 9. The people who made this show should never work in TV again.
The Letter for the King (2020)
Started off running then flopped
Watching the show over all enjoyed it tell episode 5.... Change the show completely and uselessly. No need to waste your time on the show. Kids did an ok job until they were pushed into some stupid scenarios from the writers.
The Dragon Prince (2018)
More bait and switch....
First season was good, second so so. Season 3, Episode 3 destructive. We know the social engineering going on. I know you don't care about people who have morals and want to protect our children. Sorry a fun show that trashed itself. Get woke go broke...
