FBI: Unforeseen (2024)
One Dumb Episode
I absolutely love this series and would normally rate an episode at least "7" but not this time. This episode had the team acting irresponsibly and just plain dumb. The team knows that the baddie is spraying a toxic substance and wears a respirator to keep him safe but they give chase to the baddie who is actively spaying the material without any protection for themselves. One team member identified the baddie as the one wearing a respirator. Later, the entire team goes into a building to stop the mass destruction without respirators. At one point, I wanted the baddie to spray them in the face. I know the show runners want their actors' lovely faces to be visible but a brief time with them covered would make sense and not insult the intelligence of the audience. Do better.
Tribunal Justice (2023)
Great Show - Great Ensemble
I only watch the "Judy Sheindlin" court shows because although they are entertaining, the judgments and courtroom decorum are largely based on genuine law. These three no-nonsense judges are seasoned as two are from the original Hot Bench and Levy, the new addition, clearly knows his stuff. I hope this show is renewed as long as the three want to do this work. They each offer unique perspectives based on their own legal and personal experiences. I'm also happy to see Byrd back on the job. This was a wise move by Sheindlin as it was probably time for him to work separately. As a result, this show provides an ensemble that gels.
The Bad Seed (2018)
Truer to the Novel and Play Than Original Movie
Most people like the original movie adaptation because the ending is more satisfying. This movie and the stage play is truer to the novel. The ending is irritating.
I'm pleased that Lowe changed the parental gender and a few other things. Otherwise, why bother?
He Loved Them All (2018)
All Characters Dummies
** SPOILERS**
Typical Lifetime movie. Every character dumb as a box of rocks. Example: Bad guy is able to wander around the house with 3 women huddled together in fear. One hears a noise at night. Instead of awakening everyone, she wanders around alone looking for the source and gets killed. No one notices until morning.
Climax time: 5 good guys and only one bad guy. Good guy holds the gun hoping to get a confession. Bad guy gets the gun and hurts 2 good guys. 3 women run to find a phone (no one has a phone) and bad guy catches up. They slow him down with a kick and stab but instead of picking up the gun, they leave it on the ground and run so he can get up and chase them with it.
Watch only if you have nothing else to do while working out.
