Endlings (2020)
Complete crap. It's just outrageuosly horrible. Seriously.... it's THAT BAD. It's not even worth comparing it to any other pieces.. it's just embarrassingly bad.

Queens of Mystery (2019)
Everything is overdone.
The show/series is produced in an identical manner to the movie "Matilda". Which is no real shocker after you realize that the main character's name ins Matilda, but neither the movie or the series are in any way related.
The Narration concept is somewhat novel for a television series, however the use of narration is extremely overdone. Not to mention that the writers intentionally try to cram as many artistic aspects into the narration that it becomes so tedious to listen to, you can't focus on the story itself.
The lightheartedness is extremely overdone as well. It's so lighthearted that it becomes stale very quickly. Nauseatingly so. Just as dark and gritty shows need moments of levity, so too does a lighthearted show need moments of darkness. Swing too far towards either extreme, and it's ruined. This show pegs the meter on the lightheartedness meter. To the point that characters are obscenely willfully ignorant of facts presented before them.
The moments of comedy is overdone as well. 99% of the comedy is ruined as it's obvious that the actors, directors, makeup artists, et-all staff are "trying to be funny". instead of just letting the material itself do the work of being funny. It's lazy humor that often falls flat.
And let me mention again the narration, because it's so annoying.Tthe narration is like reading the bible when you get to pages of "so-and-so begat so-and-so, who begat so-and-so, who begat so-and-so... etc..." ad-nauseum. All the while the story is halted.
Only 10%-15% of each episode is actual story moving along. The rest is narration that doesn't move the story along at all, or panning views of settings with a musical backround in a poor attempt to show artistic talent.
