Glam Masters (2018)
Lose Laverne and the rest of the lack luster artists so called judges.
This show could be intriguing but Laverne Cox is a total dud. So completely full of itself just ruins the premise of the subject matter. I could hardly watch. It is completely full of itself. Haughty and arrogant. The rest of the judge/artists are duds as well.
No thanks. Change the channel.
Virgin River (2019)
Gorgeous Scenery but...
First off, the story is supposedly based in a small town in Northern California. One look at the gorgeous exterior shots it's OBVIOUS it is NOT Northern California but in fact British Columbia and is the first indication what is about to follow is, at best, questionable.
I watched the entire Season 1. Tiresome is the first word that comes to mind. The overriding very thin plot line appears to be the continued discord amongst all of the characters. The plot line is contrived and obvious and feeds the ever present "formula based film making" continually being forced upon viewers of American TV and movies. Bombastically hitting viewers in the head with the OBVIOUS story line even without having read a single page of the books. It's sophomoric and insulting.
The Doc and the Mayor are OBVIOUSLY in a estranged relationship later confirmed as married but living separately. Really, figured that one out during their first conversation.
Charmagne turning up pregnant after she breaks up with Jack... oh come on WAAAY to transparent. We could ALL see that one coming even before he read the letter. I like her. Her's the only genuine character in the entire blood thing.
Preacher is a bit of a self-righteous who conducts himself like the busy body Mayor. We are supposed to sympathize with Jack suffering PTSD but castigate Brady (the screw up) for dealing with the same issue while trying to assimilating back into society.
Mel's sister Jo is a hot mess and her situation only muddles the story line and is totally unnecessary.
Bottom line this is a failed cross between Northern Exposure and Doc Martin with out any of the humor. Which makes it a total bore. I don't need to be hit over the head with the obvious plot directions. It insults everyone's intelligence. With so much really good programing coming out these days, this one is just to simplistic. I won't seek out Season Two.
Grace and Frankie (2015)
To all the armchair critics...
It's a comedy. DEAL WITH IT. Touching on many very important issues that seniors face in today's society with a good dose of toungue-in-cheek. It's a pure delight. There SO MUCH TRASH on the air this one is a gem. To those who pan the series, if you truly believe youself to be the authority on what is or isn't good programming you shouldn't need to be reminded it sometimes takes 2-3 seasons for characters and plot lines to develop. But by all means turn your noses up while the rest of us will enjoy the HELL out of it. In conclusion I would say this is well worth the watch and to the armchair critics who have posted reviews here... all I can say is there is no accounting for taste. You won't be missed AT ALL.
