We Own This City (2022)
Expected better from the talent behind The Wire.
The true story, as told in Justin Fenton's book, was and is so compelling. Because it is true. It deserved a better production than was delivered. While the cast and acting were overall excellent, the script was disjointed and needlessly difficult to follow. Portions of the dialogue sounded more like a narration, causing rather clunky scenes that seemed out of place. Not a smoothly delivered series. Was definitely oversold and failed to live up to my high expectations.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: What Kind of Day Has It Been (2007)
Not enough insulin for this ending
What a hugely disappointing conclusion to this otherwise smart, complex and thoughtful show. Three main storylines, any or all of which could and should have been written to showcase the spectrum of possible endings, good and evil. Instead, the writers chose to skip down the yellow brick road and tie up all the dirty loose ends with pretty pink ribbon. I should have walked away a mess of conflicting emotions, not rolling my eyes. I demand an apology.
