I didn't think this was too bad. Padma Lakshmi liked to show her cleavage but it could have been worse. The contestants were interesting and worked hard, i.e. they weren't complete doofuses. I actually didn't care who won and would have liked to see more cooking but they did show what these chefs could do. One had to suspend belief at times because we couldn't really tell why one chef got a top score and the other didn't, i.e. the judges comments while tasting didn't give away the reason's for this. All in all, though, this wasn't the worst cooking competition I've seen. I sure wish we count have an update of Iron Chef. Anyway, we'd say: "watch if you like this kind of cooking competition (but stream it so you can skip past parts that you don't enjoy."

This was a fun show. Good acting (Bill Pullman didn't last long) fun premise, and the progress of the show worked to an entertaining end. There's enough for everyone here. We'd rate this: "by all means make some popcorn and watch it to have an enjoyable time."

I don't think stories of the worst of society is illustrative of much that is positive. I never liked Maul and his story doesn't interest me at all. He was a bit thug and lacks interest. Thus, the entire show is a waste of time and isn't worth the Star Wars label. Our view is: "don't waste your time on this trash since there's so much else to watch."

It was a good enough show prior to the current season. Now everybody seems to be a homosexual. It's crazy that Hollywood can't stop from spreading their depravity to those who only want a good mystery TV show. Our view is: "don't waste your time after season three (3)."

Just another rip-off of good entertainment with unfortunate results. Very poor all around show. Our view is: "skip this poor remake **** TV show you can watch instead - Doc Martin."

It's tiresome to have human depravity and caricature shoved down our throats. There is so much good source material in boot camp this kind of narcissism is uncalled for. Acting is poor and caricatures are insulting. We'd rate this: "skip by all means."

Billy Bob Thornton is his usual self and this is an excellent role for his kind of acting. The overall acting is excellent. I'm not sure how long the series can stay fresh but DALLAS lasted for 10-15 years and it was as stale as a day-time soap opera. This is quite entertaining. We'd rate it "by all means sit down and enjoy this because it's dramatic and funny."

This show does feel like a cheap soap opera. Minimal mystery. Poor character interaction. Story line if typical and cheap. Acting minimally acceptable. All in all, we say; "pass this up as there are plenty other shows to satisfy in this genre."

It was a fun show. Young kids with passion, bumping up against adults who've settled into their ruts, is a fun ride. It reminds us of when we were young with energy and enthusiasm. The episodes tied together pretty well. The actors were more musicians than actors but they were fun and their interactions were cute and humorous. The situations ran the gamut of typical to absurd, which was fun too. The music was fun and the bands enthusiasm creating the songs is refreshing. The girls were cute too and worked well with the guys. Our view is: "get some popcorn and enjoy streaming this series."

Kind of slow and too gritty. It misses the story dwelling on the scenery. The acting seems disjointed and unsure what it's supposed to convey. Didn't like Ruffalo much as his normal demeanor doesn't seem to mesh well with his role. The whole show seemed like a bizarre Steven King story run off the rails. Our view is: "don't waste your time on this as there are many more better mystery shows to watch."

It's a typical British police mystery. Nothing special, but watchable. It's all about the interaction between the actors and it, so far, has been acceptable. The lead DI seems to grimace too much and looks around too much, but it's palatable. All in all we'd rate this: "ok to watch if you looking for an acceptable mystery."

Pretty standard fare for a run-of-the-mill mystery series. The scenery was very good. The story dragged on for too long. The acting was okay. The mystery was okay. The personal tribulations were standard and not too inspiring. Our view is: "watch if you like good scenery and a bit of a mystery, otherwise watch some other shows."

The story was too contrived. I couldn't enjoy it because of the cheap thrills involved. Our view is: "there are a lot better mysteries out there so don't waste your time on this."

Man, how many ways can they rewrite this story? An alien selling used cars? Come on. Our view is: "don't waste your time on this."

A good story. I think it is historically accurate. The acting is good. It's brutal as one would expect. The story moves along. There is typical human lust and depredations involved, with outside random influences. Again, a good story. One has to pay attention since most of the episodes have English subtitles. Our view is: "get some popcorn, get comfortable, and enjoy the show."

Not too bad. Pretty standard fare with story and characters. Do the personalities keep us interested? To a greater degree than ****. So, we'd say: "go ahead and watch but don't expect anything new."

Not too bad but a bit creepy. I suppose that's the theme of the series. Not my cup of tea though. I was looking for a mystery not a creepy mystery. Our view is: "skip if you aren't into creepy mysteries."

I've liked Michael Connelly's books but didn't like the Ballard series because her sexual proclivities were front and center. This series changes that. I've never found Maggie Q's acting too realistic and her role as an Amazon woman, who can kick 6'4" guys butts rather offputting. Other than that, the story keeps my interest and the pace didn't keep me from watching. This is a moderately entertaining series but the end, of course, was pretty unrealistic and stupid. We'd rate this: "go ahead and watch if you're a Michael Connelly fan but there are much better police procedurals out there."

I didn't really find child abuse a good source for a TV series. Acting wasn't great but the bullying and abuse were always front and center. Our view is: "don't waste your time watching abusive TV."

This doesn't focus on what the books do. The books read very quickly and the murderbot spent a lot of time internalizing what he was doing and how he mixed in with those around him and how he became humanized (and a hero). This show is trying but more time is spent on the other characters instead of the those characters through the murderbot. The newer shows are better, which indicates the producers are getting a feel for the focus of these shows. Our view is: "go ahead and give it a try as it gets better and more understandable as the season progresses."

Pretty interesting show. How can you go wrong with food in and around Italy. Tucci is pleasant and is a good host. Our view is "watch it if you like food and travel around italy."

This was better than expected. The story actually grew as the season went on. The acting was pretty good. The personal story lines were good and, what's unusual, they actually grew throughout the series. Some of the flashbacks and scenes of the kidnapping were a bit confusing and disorienting, but it worked itself out in the end. The team came together well and the mystery was solved. There wasn't much wasted time in the episodes as there was a lot to cover. All in all, we'd rate this "well worth binge-watching with some good snacks."

This is probably the best side-plot of the Star War series. The 2nd season is rather slow, poorly written, and only has about three good episodes. There was Disney WOKE propaganda inserted throughout the first episodes with wasted time on characters who were unnecessary to the story. At the end of the last episode I watched Rogue One and that was fun. Our view is: "watch but have fast-forward handy to skip through most of the episodes."

Food is pretty interesting. The first and last (4th) episode were interesting while the middle two episodes were as pretentious as one can get. Still, if you like making food then aspire to what Jamie Oliver and Alice Waters do because this is doable and exceedingly enjoyable, rather than trying to make food art. We'd suggest: "watch the first and last episodes and skim through the middle two episodes."

There is no way this is a 9-10 TV show (the ratings must be done by bots, as the audience ratings must be too). Nobody would rate this series/season as a 10 except a bot. It has way too many flaws. Characters are confusing. Multiple storylines are confusing and disorienting. Progression is very slow, i.e. it plods along so slowly. Our interest wanes the more we watched. There are characters and storylines we just don't care about; they're neither pleasant or diabolical. We don't care about deviant society that doesn't further the plot, e.g. we don't care if a young girl is introduced to a 14 year old boy. Are they going to be central characters somewhere? We're tired of seeing same-sex relationships as pure and normal relationships while normal relationships are disturbing. The perspectives of Disney are perverted. The sets are nice but the treatment of the human condition is too often irrational and unbalanced. The more we watched the series the worse it got (we gave it a 5 to start and now we're down to a 4). We kept watching and the storyline became less disjointed, so it's back to a 5. The last few episodes were better so we upped our score to a 6 (it is Star Wars after all). All in all, we'd say: "skim the first six, or so, episodes (episode 3 may be worth watching) and the last five should be condensed to two or three episodes (episodes 10 and 12 are worth watching). Then, maybe, watch Rogue One again."

This is actually pretty good. Downside is there are various plot-lines that it sometimes is a bit confusing who's who. Acting is fine, Moriarty looks interesting. Professor Lupin (Thewlis) is good as Sherlock and Hunt is good as Amelia, his supposed daughter. Anyway, we'd rate this "pleasant to watch and interesting too."

Good show. Pretty gritty. Actors worked well together. Story pretty good. Decent western. Ending not the best, but... We'd rate it: "If you can take the grit then watch in your spare time."

Pretty typical doctor (ER) show. Nothing special. Typical patients. Typical conflicts. Same dance with different dancers. Now they are WOKE in the 2nd season and it's disgusting. We'd give this a "not recommended unless you can turn off the ears at times (much more now than in the 1st season) and like this kind of redundant show."

This was good. The premise was fun. The acting was pretty good. The mystery was pretty good too. It was well written and concise, which can't be said for many TV shows. Our view is: "get some popcorn and watch this."

This wasn't that bad. Interesting plot and twists. It probably could have been done in six episodes instead of 8. Characters were fun and the switching between real-time and other times was interesting. It wasn't the best because. There were weaknesses. It's long. It digresses. It loses clarity at times. Cupp is weird at times - it's hard to act interested all the time. All in all, we'd say "give it a try. You may like it."

The story is good, but meandering and slow at times. The acting is okay, but with a lot of characters the quality dips at times. The wokeness infects the series and changes the tone of the story, which is too bad because Robert Jordan did a nice job with the books, finished up by Brandon Sanderson. Our view is "there is better fantasy out there so unless you want to sit around a lot and ponder where the story is going you can skip this completely."

This wasn't bad, unlike most of the new TV shows. Interesting story line. Reasonable acting. Story moved along well with some good twists and turns. Our view is: "go ahead and watch, if you like this kind of show."

I expected more from Allen. Trite show. Punchlines aren't really funny. Acting, except for Allen, is pedestrian. Wokeness is tiring. Our view is: "skip at this stage of the show."

There's really not much here. It's like watching lights flashing and one gets no flavor for the great music SNL had to offer, especially in the earlier years. Our view is: "skip this show as it is really boring and pompous."

Acting isn't too good. Story line is fabricated. Typical mystery. Pretty average. Our view is: "there's a lot better out there so you can skip this show for something else."

Typical David Attenborough documentary. Watch good stuff while he pontificates. Too much dog-eat-dog story line. The scenery is pretty cool though, which is the only aspect of this show that shines. Our view is: "go ahead and watch but keep the fast-forward handy to skip at least half of each episode."

Poor acting. Poor writing. Poor action. Don't need the sex. All in all: "skip completely and watch anything else."

Really wasn't an enjoyable Sherlock Holmes spinoff. Watson, here, seems to be a wannabe Sherlock and it doesn't fit. Too much certainty when wrong until finally they've eliminated the options. Everything in this show seems too random. Our view is: "skip it for some older shows."

What a terrible show. WOKE, dialog stiff, acting stiff, situations unbelievable. I read cheap novels that are better than this. It's awful. Why is it rated 7.1 on IMDb? Our view is: "skip this show and don't look back!"

Nothing new here. Independent person tilting at windmills while our emotions go up and down. Fairly trite content, acting, and story. Our recommendation is: "find something better to watch as this doesn't quite measure up to other "doctor" shows."

A truly excellent depiction of a WWII timeline with the same company (Easy Company). Acting is superb, story is superb, action is superb. This is pretty much one of the best TV shows produced. Our view is: "by all means watch, and the violence is subdued but one gets the horror of it all."

This show has more tension than others and isn't as slow as others. It's multiple story lines are a bit confusing but we'll have to see if they work out logically. Characters are interesting enough but diverse (in the perception sense). All in all we'd say: "give a chance and it may turn out to be good. In the meantime it is interesting."

It was okay, not that good. I've read a lot about daVinci and this was a rehash of some stuff with some useless speculation thrown in. Our view is: "skip it and get a da Vinci book, which is so much better."

The first two episodes were like a Spielberg movie. Not sure that's good in a Star Wars movie. It did set up the show but believability is stretched thin (kids and a damaged robot?) After a couple more episodes we think this is a 50/50 proposition. So far, not Disney WOKE but not very good at the moment either. Our view is: "it's not that good but if you like Disney kids shows this may appeal."

Another "in-your-face" morally disgusting show. This far outweighs and positives in the show. Our view is: "skip it."

Just another Hollywood WOKE B.S. show. The story is convoluted and not too realistic. The lawyers are pretty miserable and the firm is pretty typically corrupt. The morals in the show are very low. The only redeeming quality of the show is Kathy Bates. Our view is "skip this show and move on to some other reasonable entertainment.

These folk are still hilarious. The episodes are all fun and entertaining. Steve Martin and Martin Short are at their funniest, and Selena Gomez is an excellent sounding board for them. We'd suggest: "watch and you will be rewarded with an entertaining experience."

It took a while for season two to find its footing but it was essentially an excellent follow up to season one. There is some clarity lacking in this season but all in all, we'd rate this: "give it a watch and you'll like it."

This is pretty good. An irreverent view of youth among the Star Trek universe. It's fun and each episode is short and has a simple story and general theme. We'd rate this: "if you like SciFy then take a journey with this series."

So far, this is really slow and plodding. However, it may pick up because the first episode was the setup episode. So, I'll give it time.
