All Rise (2019)
Went from Wonderful to Unwatchable
Season 1 was amazing and the writing of that season play a quintessential role. I really enjoyed the way the season felt complex and fair, involving real world issues and addressing them head on. I was incredibly eager for more of *that*.
Season 2, however, ruined all the good will I had for the show. Emily, in particular, became the unforgivably obnoxious. The show jumps through hoops in order to make her 'right', while in doing so often ignores key facts or law. The unrealistic depiction of the PD office only serves to exacerbate Emily's already awful depiction. I have no idea why the screenwriters decided to make her, rather than Lola, the main character of the show but it shows.
After getting most of the way through season 2, I tried to find out why the show took such a nose dive. Lo and behold the diverse cast of writers all boycotted the direction of the show and left. Unsurprisingly the show lost all of its luster in the process.
It really is a shame, the show started so strong, but I now find it more infuriating to watch than enjoyable, to the extent that I have decided to stop watching.
Dragon Ball Z Abridged (2008)
Amazing
It kinda requires context for all the jokes to land, but I'm enjoying watching these more than I enjoyed the originals. I'm binge watching it and loving every minute. Superb humor and voice acting. Solid editing. Easy 10/10.
