Julia (2022)
Why?
Julia Child was flat-chested and of very normal weight, so why did this series make her obese with huge breasts? I love this show, even though a great deal of it is fiction. The basic facts are there, and the acting is superb, especially David Hyde-Pierce (most of the time he is just Niles, but, from what I have read, Paul Child was the original Niles). What is distracting to me is the body image they chose for Julia. Even in her later years, she was never overweight, much less obese. On her show, she wore pencil skirts, and she appears to be about a size 6 or 8 to me. This series made her a size 18+! And with enormous breasts. That just isn't Julia.
Pearson (2019)
STOP!
I thoroughly enjoyed this show - until the last episode. The producers/directors expected a second season, so the first season ends abruptly with a "cliff hanger" and none of the stories are resolved. It is infuriating! Peacock needs to just remove this series from their lineup since it is pointless to watch it. I love Gina Torres, so I hope she is given another series - with more than one season. This show helps with the dreadful withdrawal experienced after watching the delightful Suits, but it should never have even been released until they found out if there would be a second season.
Remove it, Peacock - it is not fair to your viewers.
Suspicion (2022)
Climate change propaganda
This is a stupid show with the worst ending in TV history. The only reason it was made was to further promote the lies of climate change. Climate changes have occurred since the Earth was created. They are from God - mankind did not cause them and mankind cannot stop them. The plot of Suspicion had so many holes that it is pointless to even discuss them - starting with the arrests, it made absolutely no sense. This is one of the worst series I have ever watched. I hope whoever reads this will not waste their time as I did. Shame on everyone who was involved in creating, producing and directing this fiasco.
1883 (2021)
Pearly Whites
I really liked this show, but their excessively white teeth - even on the Indians! - distracted me a lot. Every single character should have worn fake YELLOW teeth, and half the cast - especially those over 50 - should have had several missing teeth.
If a director is going for authenticity, he should go all the way. He went to a lot of trouble getting most things right, so why make this glaring error? It was difficult to concentrate on the dialog when those pearly whites were blinding me.
Also, why didn't Elsa ever wash her clothes? She slept in them so it appeared she never actually took them off except for the one bath she and her mother took in the river. She probably smelled worse than an outhouse.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Dreadful
From Kidman's laughable wig to the most boring storyline ever, this series was simply awful.
Coronation Street: Episode #1.1 (1960)
What?
I supposedly watched Season 1, Episode 1, on BritBox, but it was in color and one person was using a cell phone!
The Son (2017)
Old Eli
Eli McCullough was captured by the Comanches in 1849 when he was about 14-16 years old. This show takes place in 1915. That makes Eli about 80-82 years old. Pierce Brosnan is nearly 64 - he needs some adjustments to make him Eli's correct age. Instead of riding his horse, maybe a wheelchair?
I don't think the writers/producers/director did their math.
