This is the first tv series I can't determine the plot in 5 minutes.

This movie is the flip side of Up in the Air. Any road warriors out there would certainly understand the the psyche on display here.

It's a typical British police procedural but really well executed. It feels like '70 London.

This show is one of my top 10 favorites of all time. The the writing, acting and stripped down production are spot on.

C'mon people it's satire and it's a Chuck Lorre show. I'm an old white guy that's only 2nd generation Sicilian and I get the jokes.

I'm an old white guy and I agree with 95% of the premise and opinions of the show. The writing, actors and especially the dialogue are excellent. While not an Ivy alum I am the product of a large school and while obviously slimmed down and idealized for the small screen I find it, inspirational. 😉

I was intrigued right from the start. The writing and performances are really top notch. It's a shame it wasn't extended but then could they have sustained the imagination and quality?

This is the BBC equivalent of a Hallmark murder mystery series. It's formulaic and repetitive but the writing is clever enough and the ensemble cast is very good at playing their parts. It's really good white noise for the brain.

Why oh why was this show not renewed? WAY more interesting than The Mentalist. A very interesting original concept with excellent acting.

I watched Numbers during its initial run and enjoyed it. I rediscovered it on Prime and I have to say unlike many other shows it has aged very well.

As a white male senior citizen I'm not the target demographic but I enjoy the show. Assuming the depictions are relatively accurate the writing, casting, music are very good. The talent on display impressed the heck out of me.

Although I'm not a huge fan of half hour sit coms I am liking Jenna Fisher much better. The premise has potential and the writing is decent. A little less of the progeny and a little more Dianne Farr would be great.

Aside from the subject matter I think this movie is an example of the best the industry has to offer. To call Spotlight a docudrama would be a disservice. The script, direction and the ensemble cast made me feel like a voyeur, a fly on the wall watching these people work. Immediately I was lost in the story. I loose sight of these people as actors and for two hours I'm transported to Boston, the Globe offices and the meeting rooms and living rooms where the story develops. Much like viewing painting or listening a musical masterpiece I can (and do) watch this movie over and over.
