"The Night Shift" fails to strike the delicate balance between product placement and storytelling, resulting in a disappointing episode.

The excessive promotion of Subway hampers the authenticity of the action on screen, taking away from the plot and the performances of the cast.

The episode serves as a reminder that organic integration of advertising is essential for maintaining the integrity of a television show.

While it is understandable that television shows rely on advertising partnerships to fund their productions, it crosses the line by sacrificing genuine storytelling.

Let's hope that future episodes can find a more subtle and balanced approach to product placement.

Body switch comedies are hit and miss and this is not that great.

I don't know if the acting is that way on purpose but if not like what the hell. I was always super aware this was all acting i could just not get into the movie.

After seeing Jack Black nail a teenager impression in Jumanji i was curious to see Vaughn take on it and to me it sucked he barely acted like the real actress. She was def better than him.

It was overhyped online cause the final product is just ok.

I like chess a lot i don't know if it is a prerequisite to like this show but it sure dosen't seem that way seeing all the positive reviews.

This is a great great show. I was going into this thinking "Pfff an other woke feminist series, girls can't play chess blablabla it's gonna be cringe" But it's not that at all. There's a little of it cause it is kinda still the culture of chess "a man's game" especially in the 60's.

But nah she's just good man, they adress the fact that she would like to be seen as a great chess player and not this special thing cause she's a woman but it dosen't feel forced i feel for her all she said was true and they don't bash you in the head with it.

Story is great i'm super invested in the characters and their growth as people through the years. Actress is just freaking amazing she better get an Emmy.

Just watch it, maybe before learn a bit about chess history theres quick articles you can read about great players and stuff cause there is a LOT of chess talk nin there. You don't need to be an expert but knowing a little bit of it makes the show so much more fun.

10/10 it's perfect.

Not as funny as Borat 1 or Bruno even his America Tv Show.

Only part worth it is the Giuliani prank. The rest of the movie is not that good or funny.

The actress who play his daughter is very funny.

Honestly if you manage to just see the Giuliani clip online the whole movie isn't worth it.

I'm french canadian and in the Maple Syrup episode theres clearly audio manipulation, like there are bits of different french sentences together to make other sentences cause it sounds robotic at time for someone not speaking quebec french it looks normal but to me it's like super clear it's edited and pieced together words.

Only when you hear them and something else is going on on the screen. When they are filmed it goes back to normal. One sentence was like "I FIGHT, we need TO REGAIN freedom FROM THIS mafia" like she changed intonations and speech pattern from word to word cleary a fake sentence she probably never said, it sounds like a robot is talking i swear.

So because of that i have no confidence this series is legit if they can make fake sentence out of thin air in my language.

I'm french canadian and theres clearly audio manipulation like they pieced bits of sentences together to make other sentences cause it sounds weird af people say stuff in a way we don't say it and feels like 2 different sentences glued together. Only when they talking off screen tho. When they are filmed it goes back to make sense.

75% "detective vs serial killer" story, 2 strong charismatic main characters playing cat and mouse i love the actor of the bad guy he's fantastic. the other guy is a pretty good actor too and the stunts are super cool.

25% torture horror with great effects lots of bloody bits and other vile stuff.. one scene made me turn my head, pro tip don't watch it while eating.

this movie was great. When you think the violence can't be worse they throw you an even more disturbing curve ball. This guy is an absolute psychopath.

Nothing bad to say just a great movie to watch. And the way i see it it's so over the top violent that it's almost like a great spy movie it's not meant to be taken seriously like it's depicting real life.

6 minutes how much i lasted watching this. So cringe inducing i can't go on.

Already got meta messages for safe sex and sexual harrassment. I get it's an important message but this is american pie

Comedy with gore sprinkled. Most of it made me cringe. Few good jokes but far few between. Sucks cause i loved the first movie humor.

Acting is alright, Blonde best friend not a fan. The new punk chick is such a "not like other girls" cliché. Black clothes wears a choker obsess over alice in wonderland tom boyish lol.

The kills are funny like the original over the top blood and guts. Soundtrack is pretty fun too. Gets better after 45 minutes. the first 30 minutes are boring almost made me turn off the movie.

First one is so much better but it can make a cool double feature movie night.

Usually shows do a good job to pretend the action is from a different era but here it looks like actors playing 1950's dressup. Some of the actors speak like a 30 yo adult would talk in 2020 but it's supposed to be in 1947.

And for the story....

Murder Nurse : Check

Old timey Asylum : Check

Feels like a American Horror Story season without the good actors. I love Paulson but it's such a unoriginal role for her. I feel i saw the same character in 3 other shows she did. It's very meh.

Can't believe this woman was shamed and canceled everywhere for this.

This is not a piece of work about hate of women.

Prison, Suicide, Fathers, Boys, Men rape, Workplace deaths, Justice, sexism, gender roles, War etc... She comes with facts and a bright light on issues that men face every day and no one dares to talk about. This is talking about men issues. We have some we are humans too. We don't always have to say "Yeah but woman" everytime we want to talk about this stuff.

I havent seen it before today but i heard a lot of backlash about this wondering why people were so mad. I'm completely on the floor thinking that anyone could even think of this being hateful in any way.

Great piece of work. I'm not giving it a 10/10 cause i want to boost the score i think it deserves it.

One of the worst movies i've ever seen.

I have no idea if this is supposed to be a comedy or something that could happen in real life ... cause the characters clearly don't act realistically like a normal human would everybody was a caricature.

I think it tries to show what social media attention do to people? Maybe? They try to talk about so many issues (Racism, Right wing politics, Drugs, Family Problems, homelessness, toxic men problems? maybe? etc... forgetting some) honestly they try to touch so many things it just feel jam packed with all kinds of stuff and the movie dosen't work at all.

Theres a stand up comic thing side plot in the movie that was totally useless.

I'm very confused. It was so bad.

Same energy the plot is more intricate, you see more of the heros real feelings and emotions, looks really good for the rest of the season. Stromfront has something to hide very excited to see what.

Only thing i really don't like is The Deep side story. It's not funny so far kinda pointless unless something big happens next with this Scientology parody religion. The scene where he talks to his body and sing made me cringe big time, idk if it was supposed to be funny but it was lame.

This is really well made with a variety of real child actors always wondered what happened to the "Matilda" girl. She is unrecognizable.

The film cover many subjects equally like mental illness, family, school, stress, money, do they do this for their parents and of course child abuse. But i think they covered every topic really well usually these things focus almost only on child abuse but even a kid that was never abused it could be hell for many other reasons.

Felt kinda sad for the little boy going to all these auditions, he clearly dosen't have the fire in him, it's more than just liking to act goofy it's a serious craft i don't think he realizes that. His mother that says next to him that if he dosen't do it she basically failed as a mother..jesus pressure much..

On the other way felt really happy about the little black girl and her mother she really look passionate and have that thing where you know it will work out for her.

The first half hour is a history about skateboarding. I already saw many more in depth videos about it on different documentaries so it was kinda boring to me i knew all this stuff and i assume many people watching this will know this too. Could be interesting for people new to this tho.

Then they speak a lot about 1 and 2 and briefly about 3-4 and THUG then they talk 1 minute about the failure of RIDE and nothing about THPS 5 which surprised me. They briefly mention SKATE and how it divided the player base but i would have liked if they talked about it more what they were thinking at the time about SKATE etc..

There was really nothing in depth about the production of the game it was more like how the game impacted the culture of skating and people involved in it. But i saw many youtube docs and other content that already explained this.

If you already know about skate history and lived through the THPS craze like me (i'm old) you will learn nothing new in this. But it's still entertaining and a good watch.

There is so many monumental things that happened in video game history and you spend half an episode on a game called Gay Blade that nobody had ever heard, nobody played, the code is gone... how is this relevant to video game history. Putting Myamoto and this guy in the same realm of changing history is a freaking joke. I don't need to be explained how the gay scene was in San Francisco in the 80's how is this relevant to a video game documentary.

Lying about the fact that this black men invented and came up with the idea of a game cartrige is incredibly dishonest.

Did we really need like 4 long interviews with ex video game champions.

When they were actually talking about the video game revolutions and genius ideas, it was very entertaining. But there are so many stuff in there included only for diversity sake and just fit weird in the pacing.

I always been super interested by wellness stuff and snake oil and why people believe in this so i was super stoked to see a series debunking these trends to maybe help some people realize that they are wasting money and energy in dreams and pseudo-science.

But they are not really debunking anything. You have a scientist that come on for 6 minutes telling you it's useless and dangerous for some episodes. But by the end of the episodes you completely forget about the scientific opinion or the woman who lost her husband and they go back to anecdotal evidence and how it maybe helped someone and it all finish with the person with the smile on their face saying it saved her life or whatever.

There is a slight glorification of the treatment talked about in each episode and i didn't really liked that.

And you never end an episode with a rock hard proof that something is useless or dangerous they leave everything to interpretation. I wanted them to go harder on the science and leave a little bit of the biased human experience of someone who goes there already believing it's gonna work.

It's alright i just hope it dosen't give the idea to vulnerable or deperate people to try these things.

Great great docu-series with many interesting and colorful participants.

I love the way it's made they tell you just enough to follow the story they drop a few informations on someone in episode 1 and you go "Wow this is an awful person" and then episode 3 or 4 they drop you a bomb that makes you completely change the way you saw that person.

Every episodes was full of twists and turns you really want to continues watching and you make assumption on how he did it and who is the informant, and when they reveal it it's almost like a murder mystery story (think clue) and take you by surprise.

Very cleverly made. Loved it. Very sinister too kinda worried some of the people in there said a lot of compromizing informations and i'm afraid for some of them safety.

9/10 binged them all in one day.

Saw a bunch of cricism that he is talking too much about PC culture and issues like that. Why?

It's the world we live in? Why woudn't he talk about what pisses him off right now? Chappelle did the same. Social commentary comics talk about society what a crazy idea.

You want comics to go back to making boring jokes about meaningless things again?

It's talking about current issues. He is talking again about woman cause he's a man and it's relatable to him and his male audience. Have you seen female comics these days? They talking about men, dating men, ex boyfriends it's all they do... watched the last 3 specials of Eliza Scherzinger she only talks about dating men and what she dosen't like about us. Let men do bits about woman without being all offended and then calling her a Queen for doing it.

Amazing jokes what a great special.

When i watch stand up comedy i tend to be really inside my head. I hear the jokes and like analyse them and go "Jeez that's funny, good play on words etc..."

But i don't laugh.... i must be dead inside cause i just don't laugh out loud to any comic..

I watched this special maybe 10 times now and Patrice is the only one who can just make me die of laughter.... i can't stop laughing it comes from the gut. I'm mad when his specials are over cause i had such a good time that it just reminds me of everything else that sucks.

This man is a legend. We lost him too soon. Hope like Carlin and Pryor the world never forget him. Brilliant guy. The best jokes i ever heard not even close.

RIP Big Man.

It's your average mid-2000 fast food college horror movie. Got all the tropes.

Filmed like a MTV show with MTV like actors.

I mean i'm a teen of that era so all these low budget horror flick who would end up on blockbuster shelves that no one would rent but me are close to my heart. It's not groundbreaking cinema it is what it is.

Stereotypical teen group end up in stereotypical hillbilly woods with stereotypical cannibal monsters. The story could fit on a post-it and i don't mind.

Really impressed by the amount of gore in this. Usually these movies were tamer but they went all in for this one. If you like pools of blood you'll find em here.

It is what it is, i have kind of nostalgia for that era of fastfood horror flicks. It's not oscar worthy it's Wrong Turn 2 lol. Set your expectations accordingly.

Very good special

The old man comedy part of the show was good very funny jokes, very "old man yells at cloud" jokes but i think it was meant to be like that. Bit more light hearted.

Then the God part of the special was a good reality check but to me i know so few amount of people around me that believes in god (I'm not american) that i found it a little bit less relatable but i'm pretty sure in 2008 that was very of it's time in the US.

Didn't felt like as much punch to the face like the last special. I'm a sucker for misanthropic humor. But he's the greatest so it's still miles ahead of what everybody is doing still to this day.
