The Chelsea Detective (2022)
It's like Sesame Street murders
I don't understand how this has such high reviews the acting is unbelievably cardboard, the actors talk like it's a language course more than a tv show. It's basically theatre. The mystery is basically a photocopy of every other show but just done in a really slow, badly acted way that half way through you start to wonder if it's for children.

The Walking Dead: A New Deal (2022)
What is going on?
It's just a terrible episode full of empty long boring conversations about leaving or not leaving, and I can't fathom why anyone would care. And if it's not long boring conversations about "are you coming? You aren't, are you?" "Let me tell you a long boring story about what I used to do before the walkers" "let me answer with a long boring story about what I did" "where's this person gone now?" "Oh here they are" "let's always be together" "we should stay/go" "where does it end". I just don't understand how any viewer could care less what town people go to to hang out, heck, go back and forth for all I care.
Inside Man (2022)
Absolutely ridiculous.
I gave it a 5 because at least I watched it to the end because I was intrigued but it's one of the most stupid shows I've seen. The premise is stupid, the way everyone acts (not the acting so much, the way they react to things that happen) is like a B movie, it's just absurd. Even the ending, they just add a bunch of stupid "twists?" Not sure if they are even twists really, because it's not a discovery of anything new, it's just a ridiculous way of trying to make you go "oh!" - Who walks backwards into a road 😂 who calls missing persons and the police when the math teacher doesn't turn up 🤣 - it's just not even remotely believable from start to finish.
Inside Man: Episode #1.3 (2022)
I still want to watch it but it's stupid
It's one of those shows where you can't help saying things like "oh come on that's ridiculous" over and over again but I still want to know what's going to happen in the next episode. It's really not very good and makes very little sense as a way any human would act in real life but maybe that's part of the reason it's addictive, because it's so absurd. Random thoughts:
- the lady in the cellar is awful I kind of hope they do pop her off, allthough pretty sure it won't (episode 3)
- I think they might be trying to make you think there's twists and turns in the marriage relationship and trust, but they are also keeping someone in the cellar and are both ok with that.
- They had a leaky gas bottle and heater and decided to store it (full, presumably 😂) in the shed for future use?!
- The cellar has a better sound proofing than a high street nightclub.
- They turn it on with all the flame on so presumably it's not leaking?
- The son is hiding in the shadows instead of letting her out? 😂 And won't confront kidnapping parents?
Only Murders in the Building: Flipping the Pieces (2022)
Slow and stupid
This episode is just a long flat series of pointless events as if to fill an amount of screen time. Nothing much happens and whatever does happen takes a long pointless circle to get there. Going back and forth in time with pointless story trying to be deep or something. The acting was B movie standard... just boring nonsense.
Canada's Drag Race: Miss Loose Jaw (2020)
What is this
As a sort of general fan of drag race, this episode is just adults making loud stupid noises and just relying on behaving like toddlers doing a show for their parents. Just weird.
The Terminal List: Reclamation (2022)
Weak ending
So the show was quite fun in general except all the stupid repetitive flashbacks. I knew the "friend" was going to be the twist from the start because of the way all these shows go, I thought he was either going to be "imaginary friend created by the brain tumor" or "surprise bad guy". The way they did the twist was "actually I was a bad guy the whole time" with the weakest build or cleverness, like for example, putting together parts of the show where you say "oh yeh that makes sense" - the twist is "he did something bad before the show that you didn't know about and now we're telling you.", similar to "and it was all a dream". Decent show overall tho.
The Wheel of Time: The Dark Along the Ways (2021)
How slow can you go?
Just slow, slow, slow boring talking with overacted emotions like watching a slow slow slow play where nothing happens except the same slow questions over and over "but what if the other guy is the dragon, what if we go, what if we don't go" zzzzzzzZzzzZzx last two episodes are an absolute snorefest.
Motherland: Fort Salem (2020)
It's not very good is it?
It's sort of like a young adult teen drama in the style of 100 and Riverdale. A bit over the top dramatic with lots of tears and honestly pretty much nothing happens ever. It's a lot of training and training and USA speeches and teenage drama but I'm not quite sure what the point of it is. Also, there's a ton of horrific noises, screeches, howls, just awful noises that hurt your ears. The witches use noise to do their tricks but crikey o'riley those noises are often ear bleeders.
Collateral (2018)
What's the point
After seeing all the reviews claiming the show was liberal propaganda, I thought that it was probably alright then, as I'm as left as it gets. However the show is just completely pointless. The story is just non- interesting and straightforward, a bunch of "cliche" dysfunctional relationships unrelated to the plot (if there is one?) no twists or anything, it's just a wierd boring story that doesn't seem to have any point to it. I guess to highlight illegal immigration or something? No idea, just a boring straightforward, barely-story with random relationships going which are for the most part completely independent to the story.
Riverdale: Chapter Fifty-Seven: Survive the Night (2019)
Ludicrous
This whole season is absurd and nonsensical but the finale is the worst of it all, a million stupid plot lines concluded with nothing surprising because everything is so absurd it's impossible to surprise anyone at this point. Al the baddies are suicidal at the end, the Bettys mom who has been insane since season one is suddenly "just kidding I knew all along" and Betty had been tortured the whole time but turns out for no need really, except her dad who volunteers to die because heck why not, somebody has set up Indiana Jones bonfires and a man dressed as a bear for some reason. Utterly absurd.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Just rubbish
I'm European and as anti Trump as you can be, but it's just not very good, it's some silly acting with about 3 poor, unimportant pranks around potty humor. It's not even as extreme as most of the news that comes out of the US, or Q Anon and other clowns on Facebook. If you want awkward, funny pranks that make you laugh, Impractical Jokers is funny, but this? This is just people watching someone be ridiculous, they don't even interact this time round...
Colony (2016)
It's such a waste that this wasn't continued
I think this show has so much more potential than so many shows that have dragged on, absolutely brilliant show that deserves to be rescued by Netflix for season 4...
Win the Wilderness: Alaska (2020)
a group of people hang out camping
It's a bunch of people that hang out camping doing challenges that involve doing a walk for an hour and a half, jumping in a lake and watching someone else shoot a buffalo, and sleeping 2 nights away from their partners, and then they talk about their "mind blowing" experiences doing these "incredible" challenges that sounds like anyone's Tuesday on a camp site. Then they go and meet an elderly couple who want to give them a house and the contestants basically tell this couple all the reasons why it's not really a good time for them to take the house.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Season 2 rhymes with poo and that's the first clue
Loved season 1, was excited for season 2, but it was so pointless in general it was boring. Loads of characters that didn't seem very important and no consequences for constant invasions of Jack into Venezuela and his wierd group of friends.
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Season 3 why did I not read these reviews first...
Loved season 1, was ok with season 2, fought through the absolute bore fest of season 3 for a pointless ending... a season with a bunch of kids pretending to be the Famous 5 super detectives - not really sure why the police couldn't handle it - managed by a new girl who was as interesting as a frying pan's instruction manual. It's all trying to be meaningful without any point to it at all.
The Boys (2019)
Great at times but that accent
It was good, a bit cliche and you could always guess what was coming next - no twists or surprises but sort of watchable, I don't think there were any likeable characters, the "main guy" was a wishy-washy wimp and "The Boys" were just washed up wallies. The thing that really did my head in was Billy Butcher's atrocious accent. It was like a New Zealander watches Snatch once and goes "yeh i got this". It was awful, made no sense and while everyone else seemed to be a good job doing their character Billy couldn't decide if he was going to do a comedy routine as a New Zealander pretending to be in Eastenders or going to be an exagerated London lout - it was rubbish. Just made me feel like there was so much effort into making a great show and this pantomime accent and overacting let it down.
Line of Duty: The Intrigue (2019)
I had to watch in in 3 sittings as I fell asleep twice
This was my favorite show and was excited about the new series but it's sort of the same as the last one, same nonsense "oh no frame the main guy again and then just pummel him in the world's most boring interview that never ever ever ended with incredibly boring nonsense" Same story without the excitement and we discover basically nothing at all other than H isn't H because somebody is tapping in his hands "that they never saw before" "the screen grab made me realize he was trying to say something" wat... It's a still screen how did you suddenly work out he was doing Morse code with his hand? Honestly it's was the most boring thing I ever saw.
