Some great acting and singing
16 May 2021
Some great acting and singing. Tom did an incredible job, amazing really. I wish there was more of the happier moments. Kinda focused on the tough times, even during the highs.

Promising story idea, weak writing
12 May 2021
Sorry if you love the show, but, I loved the concept and was seriously disappointed in the really weak writing. Story lines were shallow; the characters were thin and cutout like for the complete lack of depth and interest. There was no relationship connections between any of the characters developed; commonalities and personalities were never developed. After about 5 shows I gave up watching; reading the episode summaries ahead proved the nonsense continued throughout. Sad. The beautiful venues were the only positive.

In the Name of God (I) (2013)

Good heart, if not great script nor acting
24 January 2021
The movie has a "good heart", but the writing was sometimes disjointed, and the acting occasionally stilted. Still a nice bit of good messaging in entertainment.

The plot is far off from the actual bible narratives
9 January 2021
I was hoping this would not be so disjointed and out of wack from the actual biblical narrative, which is far superior. The best parts of the actual story are missing entirely.

Too much of the story was dark in mood
11 December 2020
Too much of the story was dark in mood: I would describe the uplifting moments to be about 2% or less of the story line. Too much time is spent on the dark, despairing moments of the characters' lives, leaving the audience in our house without a sense of well-being for having used the almost 2hours to patiently wait for an uplifting and bright turn of the page. Not recommending.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)
1/10
Horrible, everything except the special effects is pure Amateur.
2 October 2020
The good: top computer special effects for broadcast television. The bad: everything else. Crap premise; crap character development; crap acting; stupid, shallow storylines. Star Trek franchise peaked at Next Generation, took a few steps down after that, and headed to the crapper with. Voyager and now this Discovery of garbage. Community theater is far superior. CBS makes junk, and just added special effects to their space junk offering.

Not enough character development for such a thin story line
15 March 2020
I wanted to like this more, I loved the characters, what little we learn about them. So I guess the acting is the only strong point: they sold me on the characters but the plot never tells us anything about them. Needed either much more story or much more character development. As it is, just a really thin, though promising story. :(

I saw a lot of drama. Comedy. Not. Good story though.

Off the mark
12 December 2018
The plot had a lot of promise, but misses the mark in all matters concerning the Creator God character.
