This series might have been quite good if they had stuck to historical facts, i.e. Anne Boleyn was WHITE and her whole family was WHITE! Geez, it's like these leftist-leaning writers don't own a history book, or don't care. Cast a white actor to play Malcolm X, see what happens!

This is what happens when you go all-in on the woke culture in Hollywood. This is the dumbest, worst, it's just ... aw man, I can't even come up with a word that accurately describes how terrible this show truly is! Ruby Rose was freaking terrible, and the "I am wo-man hear me roar" nonsense was unwatchable. But now? Now we have this new character, and amazingly, SOMEHOW, it got even worse! When is Hollywood going to get it through their thick heads that fans don't want woke crap in their shows and movies?! Go woke, go broke! We want good, quality, believable (in the context of the show/movie) entertainment that doesn't degrade one sector of society in order to artificially prop up another sector! Star Wars is reeling from their woke ridiculousness! Stop doing it to DC!

This is a very cool story. I love how a lot of it is told through old sitcom stories and sets! Not to mention, the writers have smartly left out any hint of the prevailing "women are awesome, men ****" diatribes. Enjoying this show so far!

Solid zombie story. It borrows from others, but has made them its own. I love the anthology style with the individual stories coming together by season's end. Looking forward to Season 2.

This show is ridiculous! It is not believable that Queen Latifa is capable of the things she does on the show. Utter nonsense! And the whole "woman power" schtick is getting REALLY old. Stop trying to make women into men! Terrible casting, average writing. Hard pass.

I watched the first episode and part of the second of this new CBS series, which is based on the movie and book The Silence of the Lambs. I have to say, it kinda ****! The actress who plays Clarice Starling uses a ridiculous southern accent that is distracting, and grates on my ears. Because this series is on a network, it limits what could have been done with the characters and the dialogue, and relies heavily on over the top melodrama to provide artificial suspense, which is also extremely annoying and detracts from the story. Forget the unrealistic things that happen surrounding Clarice (she fights a hired killer twice her size, headbutts him, and beats him), this show just simply is not very good, and did not grab me. I couldn't even finish the second episode. It's a shadow of its former self. I should have known this would be the case as soon as I saw Kurtzman was involved. Hard pass.

The Stand is a better than average retelling of the Stephen King book. While the sets and the acting are very good, the plotline is lacking. For a 9 episode mini-series, there are still numerous stories left out that should have been included that would have made the series more expansive and grander. Too many details from the book were not included, most conspicuously the story of The Kid and his journey with Trashcan Man! Overall, the mini-series is interesting, and I'm glad that I watched it. But it misses the mark on detailed storytelling and character building.

OMG. Where to start? What a ridiculous TV series! It goes against everything Roddenberry stood for. Terrible stories. That's all I can muster. If you're a true Trek fan, don't bother watching, it'll just piss you off.
