This Is Pop (2021– )
3/10
Starts of well enough, before the decline.
23 February 2024
In the beginning we see how the various types of music are becoming pop music. We look at some of the cross over artists from country and R&B.

Then it quickly start to just become what we have seen before, a history of music from a vantage point of someone.

Some nice interviews by the famous people in the music industry of the past.

The narrator (female voice) is so poor, she reads from a script. It is obvious she has not even tried to remember any of the script.

Lots of other themes are thrown in as well, as the festivals around UK and USA. Nothing elsewhere of course.

I recommended the series to a family member, and had to let him know, after 2-3 episodes this is not tat good after all.

So, watch something else.

Loudermilk (2017–2020)
7/10
2 first seasons was absolutely great.
20 November 2023
The first 2 seasons were absolutely amazing.

The characters are very entertaining, and some are very memorable.

Lots of great lines and situations.

I found myself screaming with laughter several times.

Plenty of these "funny bombs" are dropped when one do not expect them. I was giggling even after i switched off the tv sometimes. It had all the hallmarks of a great show with many seasons ahead.

But..... the third season, I have seen this so many times with other shows.

Either, they already know from start they will be cancelled, or a new Director (or script writers) have tanked the entire show.

Oh dear.....

Las Vegas (2003–2008)
4/10
It is ok if you want to just spend time waiting for something else.
23 October 2023
This show is soso.

It is ok if you wait for something better.

The potential was great for this show.

The only good actor among the main cast is James Caan. And he is too good for the show.

The other is good amateurs as best. Plenty great cameos in the various episodes by good actors, which they should have used as recurring cast more often. But they would probably taken focus away from the main cast.

The main cast is a pretty group of actors.

The fight scenes are embarrassing.

A bit too much booty, bust, body focused.

One thing which is just creepy, and that is when Molly Sims (terrible actress) call her father for daddddyyyy. Just Creepy.

One does not miss anything particular if one misses this show.

Interesting to follow the Police work.
12 August 2023
It is very interesting to watch how the police detectives do their investigation, and with who they cooperate with.

Also like to see the participation by the news people how they experienced the cases, and hoe they themselves worked with the cases in the news papers.

However, it is very evident these episodes were also shown on regular tv shows, with plenty of commercial breaks. When put together in a streamed series the episodes becomes extremely repetitive, so we hear the same over and over again.

But that is not the most annoying. That is Donna Youngs - Criminal Psychologist, whom talk to the camera in an extremely patronizing and arrogant way, as she is would talk to children. She alone basically destroy the entire experience of this so potentially very interesting show.

One minor thing is the fact the otherwise good narrator has big problems pronounce non Anglo names. That is disappointing when it comes to his quality.

But the show is still worth watching if you just fast forward passed the "shrink" talking about stuff we already knew.

This Is Joan Collins (2022 TV Special)
4/10
Stay clear of this self promoting turkey!
28 July 2023
Self promoting from end to end.

It is interesting to see what she has done in her career.

However, as I thought, these kinds of documentaries about people still alive will never be impartial when they talk about people they have met or had some sort of interaction with. Same goes for the work they have done over a career.

Lots of naming of famous people again and gain, where she is the most important of course.

The worst with this Documentary is simply the fact is sounds like Joan Collins has herself written the entire script, edited and directed the entire work.

It often sounds embarrassingly amateurish when she reads the comments and tells about this and that, or he or she.

If this had been more a interview style documentary, it would have been very enjoyable.

Stay clear! Stay clear.

Troll (2022)
4/10
Hope it's better in English.
14 December 2022
Embarrassing dialogs.

As a Norwegian I'm ashamed Nobody speaks like this in Norway. Norway is tok small to line up that many talented actors.

Unrealistic storyline. Anyone can more or less walk in to the HQ.

When big guns doesn't work, let's try handguns.

Then some secret weapon. What is this? Sci-fi? Supposed to be today's story with a mythical creature present.

The Troll is for Norwegian nothing less than embarrassing It's just a generic monster of some sort.

Packed with clichés.

Sure children will love this movie Fair enough, it is a family movie of some sort.

Some nice scenic photage.

Stay away, unless you have time to burn.

Better Call Saul (2015–2022)
7/10
Drags out.
23 June 2021
Brilliant actors.

Plots are good.

However, they really chew and chew on this.

Got a feeling this is a road to absolutely nowhere.

It really drags out with sometime scenes which takes forever.

The Crew (II) (2021)
5/10
The 90s show?
1 March 2021
Although it an be funny at times, and the cast is so so. This is back to the 90s again. The jokes and gags are very 90s. The artificial audience laughter is very annoying. Some will like this, no doubt. I have kind of finally let go of my favourite shows from The 90s and early 2000s.

Not really about Samurai.
1 March 2021
It's OK to watch. Fairly good production as expected. However, the use of the word Samurai in the title is not really correct. The series is more about power and war between the various klans. Watchable. Especially for the ones interested in history.

Ray Donovan: Shelley Duvall (2017)
Season 5, Episode 6
1/10
Enough already!
28 November 2020
This is it for me. I am finished watching this crap. Easy to see where this is going. Without checking I am sure there are new director and screenwriting staff involved. Season 5 started very poorly and it never stopped there. No more. Never again.

Self pity fest.
27 November 2020
Another episode in season 5 with a self pity fest you have never seen before. I can only guess the reason the actors did not walk out of the set, was due to their contracts. Dear God, how bad is this!

Taboo (2017)
7/10
Most likely a very popular series.
14 October 2020
Nice story with lots of involving characters. A very strong cast indeed. The plott goes on, but with very little twist and turns. Very few surprises really. Hardy is as good as always, but something seems to be a little bit off with his character here. Seems to me he is either not able to use his talent properly, or he is not the type that should have this type of role. Another thing is this ridicules part with the ghosts, spirits, goblins and and evil hobbits, popping up in his mind. The entire series and plot could have easily been without these Lord of the Rings creatures, and still be good. Still watchable, episode 7 in season 1.

Oh dear!

Jeeze! This is the by far the worst episodeso up to now. I watch this a couple of years behind, and I am tempted to read about what will happen. Just to find out if it is worth keep watching. The 4 first seasons brilliant. The 5th starts with a stinker.

Boring.
22 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing really happens in this program before 30 minutes have passed. The Narrator talks with this sensationalist voice, one would think it was the truth about the Kennedy assassination. He talks and talks about gases, big bangs, elements, and particles. We have again and again a future reference to famous buildings or building projects, for illustration. This eats up a lot of time. A lot of time! We have a lot of Scientists and other nerds talking about the subject in such enthusiastic manner, you think the episode was made for young aspiring scientists only. 30 minutes have passed before any creatures pops up in the story. But before that we are constantly bombarded with future references by clips of people through the ages, and their behavior. The fact that most is computer made, makes it more annoying. This is probably a very good story for some, but amazingly boring for other.
