Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2020)
I Prefer This New Version
I was a casual viewer of the previous version of this show. When I saw this one on Hulu, I thought I'd give it a try.
I realize now that one of the reasons I didn't watch regularly before was because of the previous host, Ty Pennington. He's a nice guy, talented...but he's too "on" all the time, the raspy voice and his personality overshadowed everyone else. With Jesse Tyler Ferguson, I have not missed an episode. I like that he's more of a host than anything, he's calm, very happy, and seems so genuine.
I also love Breegan as a designer, she's incredibly talented, and absolutely stunning.
Unlike some others, I don't mind the product placement. The companies are donating materials, time, money, products, etc. To these people who truly deserve it. They can slap a Wayfair sticker on all the volunteers backs for all I care.
Finally, perhaps it's because I'm older than when the first version of the show came out, and my priorities are different - but I get LOTS of decorating ideas from the new show.
I rated 6/10, I'd rate the Ty version 3/10.
I Care a Lot (2020)
It's Ok That The Characters Are Bad People
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I really read nothing about it before watching, and didn't even realize Peter Dinklage was in it until his first scene.
I found my heart racing at times, and even though most of the main characters are bad people, I still wanted to know what happened to them. We don't have to like everyone, and this movie really shows that there simply are horrible people in this world, and some of them get away with it.
