Designated Survivor: #thesystemisbroken (2019)
Netflix Ruined It
My wife and I really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 was destroyed by Netflix trying to be cool with terrible language ("Rated R language;" even Little P swears) and extra and revealing sex scenes. It was fine without all this junk.
Shame on you, Netflix. This show did not need "rescuing." Shame on the show-makers for selling out. One day people might learn.

SparkShorts: Purl (2018)
Vulgar and boring
My family sat down to watch some Disney+ shorts. This one was boring and vulgar. We made it halfway through wondering where it was going, and then they started swearing and telling "adult" jokes. Not a family short, but it's marketed to be.
Defiance (2008)
Story is great! Dialogue is good. Camera work is okay. Sound design is bad.
Riveting story that makes you cheer for the main characters, even though they're not really good guys. The color of the film helps tell the story, though it might be a bit overdone. For a film with this size budget, they could have afforded better sound designers. Overall a good film. Worth watching. I watched it through VidAngel.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Boring. A video game with distracting side quests. Coming from a Star Wars fan
The story line is slow going. I thought the first two episodes were okay, but they could have been condensed into one. Episodes 3, 4, 5, and 6 are nothing but boring side quests, and you can skip those episodes and still get the entire story, except the non-important backstory of the female. Episodes 7 and 8 were the only ones that were actually good. And this is all coming from a Star Wars fan who is always excited for more.
The Greater Good (2011)
To be fair, this movie is fairly fair
My wife and I are in the middle of our research for vaccinations for our children. I came across this movie, and I purchased the five-day stream from their website, and we watched it tonight. It is high-quality and very engaging. Is this movie biased? Yes, it is. However, I also believe it is fair, especially compared to what is fed to us by politics and rich news channels. In the documentary, they present the opinions and thoughts of many different "camps." Unfortunately, those who simply ask for research are so quickly and unfairly placed into the "anti-vaccination camp." However, the main plea of this documentary is not "Stop the vaccinations!" It's "Give us the science, and give us the choice." It does not cram down your throat anti-vaccination propaganda. Instead, it begs for true science to be done so that all parents can make educated choices. Even three years after this movie was released, it is still popular. If true research and science were done, no matter what the conclusion, this movie would be stopped in its tracks. What makes this movie powerful and dangerous to vaccination companies is the emotionally- driven stories of three families. However, this film also gives a seemingly fair voice to the pro- vaccination people, including the presidents of vaccination companies and developers of vaccinations. Of course, we don't have everything they said when the cameras were rolling. Instead, we just have what the production company wanted us to hear. So, what does this mean? Watch this movie with your brain and not your heart. Understand that it was produced for those of us on the fence and is powerful enough to persuade us. I definitely recommend you watch it if you're researching this topic. Watch this movie in ADDITION to your research not AS your "research."
