Cobra Kai (2018)
I don't like to pin all the negatives of the series on one person, but...
Mary Mouser needs to go.
It's not just that she's playing someone in their mid teens while she's in her mid 20's and looks like she's in her mid 30's.
Or that her acting is downright awful.
But she is playing an athletic role and appears to have no athletic ability. None. It's atrocious.
Who cast her anyway? It's time for Samantha Larusso 2.0! Recast this part.
WWII in Color: Road to Victory: The Battle of the Atlantic (2021)
Incomplete...
Some interesting facts but how could you tell a story of The Battle of the Atlantic without spending a few minutes on the sinking of the Bismarck, which is one of the most fascinating events of the war. It was too important to just mention it without relaying the story of its sinking.
137 Shots (2021)
Poorly handled by the prosecutors
If the prosecution really wanted to compel the police officers to testify against Brelo, then they could have granted them immunity rendering the fifth amendment moot. The producers treated them like heroes but it was obvious that the prosecution had its own agenda which had little to do with convicting Brelo.
Andrew Young Presents: Carter (2012)
Just not true
This documentary claims the double digit inflation under Jimmy Carter was due to the Iranian hostage situation. While the rate was an astounding 13.5% in 1980 after the hostages were taken, it was already at 11.35% in 1979 before the hostage situation.
That being said, Jimmy Carter was probably the last decent human being to be president. Maybe that was his problem.
Chad (2021)
So my problem is....
Not that the leading role is played by a 40-something woman, but that she plays it like a 40-something woman. That's not acting; that's just being a 40-something woman. Oh, and it's not funny. So I don't get the whole thing.
Wipeout (2021)
It's better on mute.
There are problems for sure with the action scenes but at least they're interesting. The commentary, however, is as bad as Bob Saget's during America's funniest videos. Less talk and more scenes of competition would be a vast improvement.
Unsolved Mysteries: Berkshires UFO (2020)
Not my favorite episode
No photos, no police reports (five different towns), no radio station recordings, no newspaper articles. Basically no credibility.
Who says: "in a blink, in a flash, I was gone"? Maybe "I was watching him and in a blink, in a flash, HE was gone". Maybe "in a blink, in a flash, I was somewhere else".
In a blink, in a flash, I realized I just lost 40 minutes of my life watching this episode. The rest of the series is pretty darn good.
Drug Lords: Klaas Bruinsma: Europe's Hash King (2018)
Seemed interesting but....
I don't speak Dutch. Whatever genius thought it was a good idea to have white subtitles against a white background needs to go back to film school. If I ever learn Dutch and re-watch it, perhaps I'll increase my rating.
History 101: Feminism (2020)
Horrible fact checking.
A topic that deserved better handling.
-Lyndon Johnson was not the president in July 1962.
-West Bank and Gaza is not a country.
-3/4 of states are needed to ratify an amendment to the Constitution, not 2/3.
There are others but suffice to say that this 23 minute episode could have used at least 23 minutes of fact checking.
