The Rookie

They are clearly trying to be Southland, but it ends up being cheesy. The magic of Southland was how gritty and realistic it was, you can't really get that on network television.

The Walking Dead

Absolute chore to watch beyond S1. My recommendation for anyone who still hasnt seen this: watch S1, treat it as a miniseries and run away as fast as you can. I got too deep and the completionist in me demands I hate-watch it. It's hot Georgia garbage from S2 on you'll only grow to hate all the characters and just want everyone to die...except Daryl probably. I'm team horde and extinction now, look at what they did to me!

How is this not on a streaming service yet? This began so many careers and so many franchises, have to see this piece of TV history!

The Idol

I put this on in the background after reading about the absolute clusterf&%$ that production was. Also only 5 eps, thank god. Knowing how the original pro-victim vision was warped by professional perverts The Weeknd and Sam Levison, this weird, hollow softcore porno serves as a warning to all studios on how you should never kowtow to giant stars or directors, or else you get a 100 million dollar disgusting shit show.

Touched by an Angel

This might be the original Dhar Mann, but less unhinged. If watching on Paramount+ you are missing the "what the [heck] were they thinking" episodes dealing with white supremacy, abortion, etc. Thankfully Freevee fills in the blanks that CBS would prefer you forgot about. Unless you are Kevin Sorbo, this is background viewing.

Trainwreck: Woodstock '99

Both of the lead promoters are absolute scumbags but John Scher takes it to the next level. He wasn’t accountable back then and he wasn’t accountable now even with hindsight. You treat people like animals, they turn into animals.

Black. White.

Fascinating... but also cringey and in very bad taste using black and white face as the variable in this experiment.

Station 19

The grand standing on social issues is out of control from s4 onward. Grey’s Anatomy has also succumbed to this horrible, lazy, LAZY writing. The issues of our time deserve better. Look at Atlanta, that show has literally changed my worldview because of the superb writing, meanwhile Station 19 entrenches me in the opposition! If I was an actor I’d refuse to do some of these bitch and moan monologues as this show would be hurting my career at this point.

Grey's Anatomy

Seasons 1 through 10 or 11, good, if not a great SMART and sexy medical drama with some complicated yet likeable characters to root for. Seasons 12+, a DUMB, ever worsening dumpster fire. From season 12 onwards we lose nearly all of the original characters and replaced with literal lunatics who are horribly unlikeable, have no business being anywhere near the healthcare industry, and their love lives could be described as sex addicts enabling sex addicts with no acknowledgment this is not normal. The ratings keep justifying it's existence, it's a juggernaut in the women demos even after 18 seasons, but why? There are so many better things to bounce to. I get paid to do this and watch it passively so whatever, but most of you do this for free lol

Halo

I can allow for some creative leeway for video game adaptations, but get this YA crap out of the show before it ruins it. I was hoping seeing teens exploded by plasma fire was a promising sign but they kept one of these annoying idiots alive and now John has to babysit and do stupid stuff like take his helmet off, rooting for a brute to rip her head off. Also the elite design is bizarre…it looks like they only played infinite and got confused what was a brute and what was an elite. Also i hope they didnt completely removed grunts, that would have been amazing comedic relief

Ghosts

This adaptation was properly done. Do I prefer the UK version? Sure, but this is still a fun watch. Discount all the British TV elitist reviews written before the Oct. 7, 2021 premiere.

This show is so underrated, season two has better character development than shows with 10x the resources.

Marvel's Inhumans

The writing and acting is garbage, feels like a soapy YA show. I'm also particularly embarrassed for Ken Leung, easily the worst performance in this hunk of junk.

Marvel's Cloak & Dagger

There is no bright spot for this show, every facet is done with a B team or below. The actors are bleh, the writing is cringe, the pacing is horrendous, the sound mixing makes the dialogue unintelligible without subtitles, and the cameramen were having seizures apparently because the camera wont stop shacking in virtually every shot (I could go on). I appreciate elements of social justice in my shows, I just ask that the execution is at least somewhat decent.

BLOOD RAINS DOWN FROM AN ANGRY SKY! MY CAWK RAGES ON, MY CAWK RAGES ON! - One of my favorite shows of all time. Awesome, badass, hilarious. Watch with subtitles for the hilarious dialogue's full effects.

I know kids are stupid, but they aren't this stupid right? Clay is such a baby. I still don't buy that he would take FOREVER to listen to all the tapes. Don't even get me started on seasons 2-4, absolute garbage, but fun to make fun of with friends.

Edit: Just realized the insane over-representation of LGBTQ+ people in the show (we aren't THIS prevalent in society!) Is the school built above the gay Hellmouth?

Escape at Dannemora

The pacing is horrendous throughout. There's slow and then there's Dannemora. The problem is the first half isn't that interesting which makes it painful. But even during the interesting part of the escape, scenes tend to linger for 10 minutes longer than they need to. It feels like Ben Stiller was trying to meet a page requirement or something.

Bob Hearts Abishola

This show is a typical CBS sitcom at first glance, but the writing is so much better. It's hilarious, irreverent, and risque without being filthy like 2 Broke Girls. The characters are worth caring about and feel genuine.

The Looney Tunes Show

This show's main issue isn't the animation or design, it's the writing. First of all, the episodes are painfully long, they've gone from 7 minutes to a whopping 22. Exacerbating this issue, the writing has been Disney Channel'd. There is nothing for adults here; the prior runs had hilarious innuendo to keep us entertained, not just constant slapstick assault on the senses.

Fantastic, exciting. This show got me into the sport and I can't wait to see the 2019 season dramatized in season 2.

Edit: the more you get into F1, the more this show is full of $(!T...

Sure it's repetitive and formulaic, but watching Jack Bauer kick ass never gets old. I especially like how he just goes straight Rambo a lot of the time in the later seasons.

If you go into it expecting an extension of the movie franchise, you're going to be disappointed. This show feels like Supernatural if it took itself seriously, in a good way.

I Am a Killer

These stories are somewhat interesting, but aren't compelling. The cases are pretty clear cut and not much is up for debate. I guess it may challenge your opinion on the death penalty itself by exposing the flaws of the system, not whether they are guilty or deserve the death penalty.
