Flaked (2016)
This is very real
I work abroad with Americans. It's quite disturbing, but most US citizens are exactly like Chip; especially the progressive liberal types. This show had so much potential but the word "too" applies and it's just all too much. Too much deceit, lying, narcissism, etc. It makes the watch experience tedious and frustrating. Hoping that the main character gets his stuff together, well it just never really happens. There are some funny moments, but nobody ever grows or reaches a state of consciousness where they're considered to be a normal human being. A bed of lies. And that's it. How not to live.
Virgin River: The Sun Also Rises (2021)
Get. Older. Wiser. Writers!!!!
This episode was beyond weird. Mel struggling to forgive Jack? What?! What?! Let's put it into perspective: Jack was shot, he lost his memory, he heard that he is having twins with his ex, her new lover threatens to move the twins to a new town and to push Jack out of the picture, he loses his house in a fire, he gets bad news about rebuilding on the land and a legal battle looms, his sister comes back and dates the guy he thinks shot him, etc etc etc. Er.......and Mel is unsure whether she should forgive him or not?!?!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!?! She has SO MUCH compassion for a pregnant lady and says "take all the time you need", but somehow Jack must act like a normal sane person after having being shot and going through all the other drama. How do you justify this?
Los herederos de la tierra (2022)
A lesson in impulsive thinking!!
Dearie me, where to start. A series of dumb, nay, utterly stupid, decisions made not just by the lead but by his whole family has made this show one of the most frustrating to watch. Every impulsive decision leads to the death or demise of another. It seems TOTALLY unrealistic that folks were this dumb and naive 600 years ago. In the dark ages survival was on everyone's mind and being street wise would've been the norm. The modern "millennial-esque" behavior of the characters must be a reflection of the writers' and director's own lives as there can be no other reason why human beings from 600 years ago can be portrayed as snowflakes walking around in a daze during a time where death was waiting around every corner. This show could've been so good.
The Big Bang Theory: The Planetarium Collision (2018)
No Leonard, the lobby is not the first floor
The lobby is not the first floor, same as you don't start measuring with a ruler from one, but rather from zero. You are also not born as already one years old. The rudeness of the characters has become synonymous with this show and somehow the writers think that it's "humor". What happened to the endearing and heartwarming characters that we all loved and followed from the start? Why is Penny so incredibly dismissive of Leonard? And Bernadette?! She treats Howard like a moron (the astronaut) and she steals and manipulates her way through the workplace. Who writes this nonsense and who thinks that this is the best direction for the show?
The Big Bang Theory: The Confidence Erosion (2017)
Poor Raj. Not!!!
So Penny basically destroys Leonard around every corner. He's short, he's a nerd, he's indecisive, he's lactose intolerant, he loves comics and toys, etc. Bernadette is the rudest little Smurf you've ever seen. She even got people fired at work, by lying, to further her career. Amy talks abt animals like they're mindless objects and gets monkeys addicted to cigarettes, then kills them to dissect their brains. There are no saints on this show. But, suddenly Raj thinks he's a victim. Why? Bcs his best friend's ribbing is too much?! Howard is a GREAT friend and if you're 16 and you've never had a best friend yourself, then you might think that he's rude, but he's not. Raj when drunk is the most obnoxious one of the lot and he totally deserves Howard's friendly attention and ribbing. They're best friends for God's sake !!
The Big Bang Theory: The Romance Recalibration (2017)
Penny Penny Penny
Where to start with this one? Penny thinks Leonard isn't trying hard enough. She's convinced that she's a catch, a princess, and that she needs to be wined and dined forever, because let's face it, she deserves it. Not! The reality is that Leonard is probably the best boyfriend ever, and he's always apologizing, willing to discuss their issues, willing to change, always picks Penny first, accepts her white trash family, and even allows her to secretly get rid of all his nerd toys although he's not happy about it. Yet, in her delusional mind, he's the problem and he's not trying hard enough. How did the writers end up with this piece of nonsense?! In which reality does a tramp become a demanding princess and the real hero has to bend the knee? This just makes us hate the characters and nobody wins.
The Big Bang Theory: The Matrimonial Momentum (2015)
The Amy character is just too dumb
So you meet a guy with, what we all feel is Asperger's, and then you just don't seem to understand his quirky personality?! How does this work?! Date a guy and then TRY TO CHANGE HIM, although he's probably the last person on earth that has the ability to change!!! How ridiculous is that? Then view yourself as a victim, and the guy with Asperger's is the aggressor, and try to have a real relationship? That's like buying a zebra, taking it to the race track and expecting it to behave like an Arabian stallion. Not gonna happen sister. So the message from this episode is: pick a partner and then try to change them into something that you desire even if impossible. Dumb stuff.
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
Heartwarming
It's a great show with many endearing moments. Interesting how intelligent American men are portrayed as weak, feminine, spineless cowards. I'm not American but I work with Americans overseas and interestingly enough, the young crop of males from that side of the Atlantic are all exactly as the male characters in the Big Bang Theory. Weak, insecure, fearful to speak up, and just spineless. I guess the experiment worked. You are now exporting little Leonard Hoffstadters. This is great for comedy, but deary me, how to build a nation with men like that??
Vikings: Valhalla (2022)
Utter woke nonsense with IKEA furniture to boot!
Where to start. The cauldrons are made of plastic. The furniture is fine metal, welded into elaborate knots, as seen in the ikea catalog. The actors just walked out of the hairdressers and they also just finished their cucumber face masks. They are sparkling clean and look as un-Viking as any millennial on Rodeo drive. Nothing is as authentic or even remotely close to the original Vikings show. Oh. Then there's the woke nonsense. Any sane person has to ask: Who are the immediate 500 + votes after the show came out? What's the agenda here? Lie to us all about the show to trick is into seeing it?
Wisting (2019)
Are Scandinavian Police really this bad?
The whole police force is portrayed as incompetent. Can this be true of Scandinavian police? The head of every single department represented is a female, because men are incapable of leading. What a bizarre recipe for a crime series? The male police officers are obsessed with being courteous and do their utmost not to offend anyone. The criminals run circles around them and outwit them at every corner. Really wanted this to be good. The lead actor has so much potential. Just a sad let down.
