Ted (2024)
Actual LOLs
It has been a long time since something has made me actually laugh out loud but I loved this show. I thought it would be good given I love Seth's other work (though Orville went downhill, but that's a story for another page) but I really enjoyed this and will definitely be watching the whole series again. I rewatched the movies afterwards and whilst they're ok I think the series is better.
Great cast who worked together well. All the family had good development and was nice to see stories on everyone not just Ted. The actor playing John in particular did a fantastic job. Especially when you add in he's acting to a toy.
Really hope this gets further seasons.
Daughters of the Cult (2024)
Interesting story not done justice
I hadn't heard this story before, and it was really fascinating, but it was so dragged out and could easily have had less episodes. But the main let down was the interviews. Got quite repetitive at times. I'm not going to get personal in this public space but will note that people talking over each other, and interrupting each other, in the interviews was very hard to watch. Worth a watch. The old news footage and photos were also interesting. The expert and professional interviews were ok, definitely more interesting. However, I had to watch over several viewings, not a show to be binged to me.
The Orville: Electric Sheep (2022)
Disappointing at best, dangerous at worst
I created an account just to leave this review.
I loved the first two seasons but this episode was so disappointing.
I'm not even going to contemplate whatever bad decisions led to the new Charly character and her ridiculously contrived storyline (apparently she's special?!). Her speciality is unfortunately not acting.
My concern is how poorly these writers understand suicide. It is important as a society that we discuss suicide, but this is not the way.
After the way this show has tackled other serious issues, such as racism and misogyny, in such an intelligent way I really expected more.
This episode could have made a powerful statement, but instead it's 'pointless'.
