The Rookie: Strike Back (2024)
Getting more and more cringe
This show's writing is getting so bad it's embarrassing. In "The Rookie" world if you're not a minority you can never do anything right. They even compared the "trauma" of giving birth by saying that a near death experience after getting shot is trivializing her experience. Nolan's boot, Juarez should never be a cop, she goes on in her work as as police officer with her feeling and her juju special power. I know cops can be superstitious That show as become so bad that it's almost a satire of what cops are, like an awful super trooper. I'm now sure that the writers of shows in the west can't write good television even if their lives depended on it. I just want good television again.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
I'm writing this as a book fan.
I now have a morbid type of curiosity to watch this show. Similarly to people who slow down to watch a car crash on the road. The deviations from the books are more numerous and make even less sense then before. Rand is not doing anything of value and he is sleeping with Selene. Some plots are going way too fast and others are not moving at all.
I think this show will probably become an example used in teaching classes for tv writers of what not to do. Let's just say that when you can't put your ego aside to make a tv show that most people like, then you have a problem.
In my humble opinion this show, taken as is (no relation with anything) average 6/10.
As an adaptation of the books a 2/10 at most and it's getting worse.
