The Wilds (2020)
Makeup?
Here's the thing, as an avid fan of CBS' Survivor, where contestants are "stranded" at an exotic tropical locale for 39 days, I find the makeup application on this show to be over the top and distracting. The girls have been stranded for a few weeks on an island and have the worst case of sun burn, peeling skin, and sun spots. The cast on survivor pretty much endure the same circumstances in real life but never near the same extremes as the makeup implies in this show. I imagine there's shade on the island that they can take advantage of at high sun? Like wtf? Why are they so burned? Anyways, that's about it.
Night Hunter (2018)
What this film really needs is a good editor.
I don't know what the original script was like but this film definitely suffered from poor editing. The story at times made zero sense. The jumps between scenes (and possibly days?) were incongruous and the story telling was atrocious. One minute, a cop is blown up in a car bombing, and the next morning his colleagues are cracking jokes? In one scene a cop who's baby has been kidnapped is breaking a suspect out of jail, and literally the next scene is of him running back into a room at the police station where they've just discovered his baby.... How did he know where his baby was? Where did the suspect go? How much time transpired? I don't need my hand held when I watch something, but a sense of time and event order would be super helpful.
The Expanse (2015)
Watch this and thank me later
As an avid fan of the books that this series is based on, I didn't feel the need to watch the show. I didn't think it could possibly have anything else to add. But I was dead wrong! Seeing the world(s) and characters of this story brought to life is another thing entirely. I highly recommend that if you are a fan of sci fi, and don't mind a complex cast of characters and story arcs, to give this show a shot.
