Mauseu (2021)
Totally pro-abortion SCI-FI series.
Ok I watched carefully until halfway through second episode then read the reviews to see if it was worth my time anymore because it was already so depressing and dark. The hype really had me fooled that this would be a good series. But then I saw the reviews (both good and bad) and could see two things that really bothered me so I stopped watching.
1)The ENTIRE premise is that there is something called a psychopath gene and if you have it, then you have a 99% chance of becoming a psychopath (using all famous serial killers and evil dictators, like Hitler, as examples of psychopaths) and only a 1% have a chance of becoming a genius (they use famous composers and artists as examples).
And then, with a serial killer on the loose (called the Headhunter) the government takes a vote on whether or not they should pass a forced abortion law for anyone whose unborn baby tests positive for the psychopath gene.
I mean REALLY??? So they claim they've done all this science to be able to tell that everyone born with that gene will either be a genius or a murderer. And there's no other option. There are about seven billion people on the planet who may also have this "psychopath gene" but since they've never been tested how could we ever possibly KNOW THAT KIND OF THING??
TALK ABOUT JUNK SCIENCE!
What about all those billions of people who may have that gene that live perfectly normal lives because they were raised properly and we simply didn't know they "had the gene"? Oh well we don't address that. I mean seriously. The premise is just EVIL that a baby is in anyway BORN EVIL.
And ya gotta love how the President of Korea decides to vote against killing all the babies solely because he had just found out his wife was expecting their first child. But that was the only be reason he didn't murder all the other people's babies. And then his assistant, who's clearly upset with him says something like "Ok, but I hope you can live with yourself when we could have gotten rid of all crime and murders and evil for your child's future but didn't!" Yeah, that makes sense since his child might be aborted and would have HAD NO FUTURE! LOL!
And as if only psychopaths murder or do horrible things?? I got news for this show's creator: we are ALL capable of doing bad... even horrible, things. Like what about drunk drivers? Do you drink? If there's any alcoholism in your family you could become an alcoholic too. That's been proven....whether it's nature or nurture we don't really know. But it's true. So you might kill someone in a drunken rage or by drinking and driving.
Should you have been aborted??? No of course not.
What about crimes of passion where someone, because of shock, just loses it temporarily and kills or nearly kills someone else? Did aborting all those unborn babies with the psycho gene stop that? Nope.
It's called being "fallen in a fallen world" which is why we needed Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. You're not a Christian? Fine. But it's the truth. And no one can deny that if people actually lived the commandments that Jesus taught, then there would be far less crime. But that's the hard way, so let's just abort babies who haven't done anything wrong.
Oh and btw, read about Pharaoh and Herod in the Bible. Both of them murdered hundreds of thousands of babies. What would have been the difference between those evil (psychopathic) men and the leaders of Korea if they had passed that law? Nothing.
And while we're at it, why stop at unborn babies? Why not have every single man woman and child report for their psycho gene testing and kill everyone who has it?
Oh NOW we've gone too far??
Do ya see the problem with this entire premise yet??
2) The other problem I had with this show was there literally was no one to root for. There was no good vs evil where good triumphs in the end.
What's the point of that? Like the world isn't already so dark that we all need to be depressed after watching "entertainment"?
It's a hard pass for me.
Btw on a side note it's really concerning to me how many people thought this was entertainment. *Sigh*
As a suggestion, if you're at all thinking like me, maybe stick to other series like "Flower of Evil" or "The Good Detective" or "It's Okay to Not be Okay" or "Beyond Evil" or "Glory" or "Vincenzo" or "Eve" or "Reborn Rich" if you want good to win in the end.
Anyway have a great day!
The Recruit (2022)
Glorifying corruption in the US govt
From the first few minutes into the series....episode number one, it's clear that the writers/producers of this show don't believe what goes on in our Federal Government is serious and that it affects real people with real lives. And that the guys doing the corrupt crap....from the Whitehouse to the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, to the CENTRAL "INTELLIGENCE" AGENCY, believe they can commit crimes against every day Americans and then call it "CLASSIFIED INFORMATION" therefore concealing their dirty deeds and also their violations against the constitution through secrecy and covering each other's backs. Hmm....it feels almost as if we're living in this "fictional" series, and the American people are the bad guys and the corrupt govt are the good guys. Pssh, naaaaah.., it's just "fiction"
Deadline (2022)
The end? REALLY??
The end is so convoluted. Seriously? That's where they go with this at the end? I feel like I watched the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial all over again, except in this one, Amber got away with it. Truly I cannot understand why they would write all of this to end it like that. I feel kinda like we're ALL victims of the main character now, and I didn't sign up for that. I mean let's just let EVERY truly evil, sadistic, murderer win at the end of every murder mystery or crime drama and of COURSE put ALL the people trying to solve the crime in prison, with their lives ruined by who? By the ACTUAL MURDERER. YEAH, LET'S DO THAT.
The Noel Diary (2022)
Ugh I feel icky after watching this
Two Mary-Sues hook up. Poor little perfect people. How EVER will they find true happiness in life?? Ok so since I need hundreds more characters I suggest you watch:
"A Christmas Story Christmas" (new this year)
"Your Christmas or Mine" (new this year as well)
"The Christmas Project"
"The Christmas Project 2"
"One Magic Christmas"
"The Santa Clause" (1 for sure, 2&3 are ok. DEFINITELY skip "The Santa Clauses" Disney series. It has NOTHING magical about it and nothing that will bring back the warm feelings you had from the originals)
"Elf" is always a good choice
"Christmas for a Dollar"
Christmas Orange"
"Klause"
Death on the Nile (2022)
I'm 45 minutes in to the movie and I already have a headache.
This is a period piece for Pete's sake. It's right after WWI. And yet the rich and famous of Europe go to school with, get advice from, and hang out at fancy soirees with African Americans. And no I don't mean black people. I literally mean Americans from the South who are black. And the women? Oh THEY'RE all the wealthy land owners who have their acts together...the (white) men? Nothing but idiot playboys. Oh the WOKENESS! The music throughout this farce is Southern black Jazz screeched throughout. It DOESN'T FIT THE STYLE Agatha Christie had in mind AT ALL!! Can't ANYTHING that Hollywood (re)makes EVER remain true to the time period or original story? Of course not. The woke casting, music, genders?
Yuck. Do it real or don't touch it. I will do my best to try to finish this movie in order to be fair, and if it improves I'll revise my review. But if you haven't heard back from me I'll be lying down after taking a couple of Excedrin.
