I always fall off from watching and I wouldn't call myself a fan. I watch when I'm in between other series. I have never watched this show live. I stream it and I often fast forward through all of the talking, straight to the singing. I sometimes listen to the awful guesses and then return to fast forwarding. I find the camera shots to the audience's facial reactions annoying and I was curious if it was popular opinion. I'm not sure of what could make it better. Maybe cut the dialogue and replace with more performances which would reduce the number of groups. Nick's responses after the panel give their guesses are recycled. The format needs to change.

I have always enjoyed Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris together but this show is very hard to stay engaged in. It's SO slow and the commercial breaks make it worse when you are already struggling with momentum. The editing is horrible. No one can possibly be that surprised or shocked by anything happening in this show. Why are the contestants the same? I bet Jamie Foxx thought this would be a hit but I'm sorry, for me, it's a major miss. I'm more bored watching it than anything else. I can't even say what could help because we've seen this show in other shows before. We need not re-invent the wheel here.

I kept asking that question out loud while watching this movie. Who wrote this? I appreciate a veteran actor such as Monica Calhoun. She is what made me want to watch but it was comical, and not the suspenseful drama I believe the creator was going for. The story was written as if the son was age 5. And maybe it was and there was a casting issue. I'm not sure, but that was a huge problem. And skip over day visits? Ok. The detective's character was completely unbelievable. I've never seen a writer, not write in a partner for the detective. The lone detective's acting was subpar. There were lines missing in a lot of scenes. They were needed. Why didn't we see Vanessa's character do more with her information? Did we not have gauze on set? I'm confused. Nothing was realistic about this movie and it was a missed opportunity to dig deep into all of the characters. I wish I could write for these movies. A lot of them have the same context issues.
