American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch (2021)
New title, far more accurate: American Glacier, how we wasted 14 hour long episodes episodes to tell 15 minutes worth of story
The miners are likeable and you want to root for them but you quickly see the producers are dedicated to slow playing this beyond all reason. DVR it and use the fast forward 5 minute feature to speed through each episode. Trust me, you won't miss anything. Any real progress in the mining usually shows up at the end if they actually move the story at all. Note to Producers: Stop rehashing the myth and the family flashbacks for 90% of the show and actually show some mining. Another idea: If they are so short on cash and the old mine tailings are so gold rich they can entice new investors, why not set up a sluice and rerun some tailings? Opps, I forgot, reality is the only thing missing from reality shows. Oh, let's add that if you think people who criticize this shows shortcomings are whiney please explain your personal or family connections to this show and don't try to deny them. No one will believe you.
Conviction (2016)
Rightly canned for so many reasons
Hayley Atwell was delightful as Agent Carter. Here she is thoroughly unlikable. Her character is a good time/bad girl former first child in the public spotlight. She takes a noble job for ignoble reasons and proceeds to live down to her reputation. The two ladies who produced/wrote this obviously have a political agenda to sell and it destroys any semblance of coherent plots and cripples the dialogue. Badly written and poorly acted, this series was doomed from the start. Do not waste your time.
