The Rookie: Feds (2022)
A Stupid Handshake and annoying everything
It is the FBI people!!! This person, Niecy, has a very annoying personality. Her behavior, her clothes, her manners and her tone are those of a vulgar person. I understand that the character meant to be wise and smart and has tons of life experience, but this person is doing the character a huge harm. She does not understand the character that she is supposedly be playing. Where is the director in all this?? She is like a bull left running here and there. She is left to her own devices. And "her devices" are very vulgar. Every episode is a trail!! I try to go through it, but I feel I want to jump onto the screen and yell "Shut up, please!!"
What is this stupid handshake between Simon and Brandon? Are you kidding me?
In one episode, an FBI agent shut her up by saying: if you are an FBI agent, then act like one!! How very true!
She is not a good actress, and I don't understand why everyone is reacting to her with kid gloves. Is it the fear of being accused of discriminating?
I am saying here, it is not a discrimination to say that this actress is doing more harm to the show than good.
She repulses me. Trim your nails for God sakes, wear a decent work clothes, and stop this street walker lough. Universe helps the actors and the actresses that are working with her, how are they able to act against her? Pity them.
The good side of the show: Felix Solis, Michelle Núñez and Devika Bhise.
How I Met Your Father (2022)
The Cast is all wrong!!
So, I have to say, the cast is all wrong! They neither have chemistry with each other nor they are attractive on their own!! My question is: have they been called for auditions before they were cast??
None of them is acting normally, they all seem to be hanging by threads that are about to break. Each one of them is "overacting", the smiles all fake, the actions all fake... At the end of every scene, I feel I will see JAZZ HANDS will come up!! This is how it feels!!
And come on guys, are there no actresses left the USA to cast the only ones with tons of cosmetic surgeries?? Their faces are really repulsive! Is there NO natural beauty left??
This production is a huge step down to the diversity of the human race. Yes, yes, the whole idea is to show that you have included almost all races, and almost all sexual orientations but because you have casted such bad actors and actresses you failed to show the harmony among them, you failed to come up with a successful show! Nothing feels true, on the contrary, it feels insincere!
Now, the writing and the directing: If you wanted to make a show that follows the same footsteps of how I met your mother, then you have failed miserably! How I met your mother was written in a very smart way and it was directed artfully by professionals. How I met your father by comparison failed on these levels and it seems it is put together by armatures. How I met your mother was played on 4-dimensions, while how I met you father is played on 1 or mostly 2 dimensions!!
Sorry, I hated it!
Stiletto LB (2022)
Superficial, boring and total failure
The show is absolutely trivial, superficial and illogical. It is an insult to peoples' minds. It fails on all levels
The characters' reactions slow and boring and inexplicable.
I just feel very sorry that such actors and actresses agreed to partake in such stupid show. I want to ask Badih, Qays, Samer, Karees, Carlos, Dema, Nada, and others, have you read the scenario? This show is shameful and huge step down!! Especially, Badih, Qays and Karees, I would like to ask, are you serious? How could you???
I am really surprised that producers need to stoop down to produce Turkish trivial drama in time the Syrian and the Lebanese drama and writers are great.
Let's talk a little about the unreasonable events of the show: First, these two women who are telling the story to the police: they are telling the events as if they were living with characters, as if they were inside their heads. Since it is impossible, then telling the story by these two women made the entire show laughable!! Second, Falak is given unrealistic powers! The character is unrealistic even for a fantasy story! Third, fourth, fifth, etc all about the poor writing, poor imagination, poor scenario, and poor acting.
I would like to say, stop following Turkish drama because it's very stupid and it makes you look stupid!
Girls (2012)
The New Age Hippies!
I'm not going to write about the overuse/repetition of sex scenes because, for example, we've seen them in Game of Thrones and they never bothered us or reduced the quality of the show. Neither will I write about the "2-dimension-with no-depth" of the show. Instead, I want to talk about the principles (or lack of principles) that this show wants to promote! I'm at the same age of these characters and I'm disgusted, again, not because of the loose sextual life of each one of them. Maybe the only reasonable evolving was with Shoshana's character! The show is boring, every time something promising happens, something stupid takes over, again and again and again. The flow of the writing is like child's mind. No stability and armature all the time. How sad, an actor like Adam Driver is in such show!
The following points are what the show represents.
1. Everyone sleeps with everyone! There is no difference between them and the animals, Although, I must apologize for some animals. This is what the show wants to deliver, this behavior is alright. It's not the sleeping around part that bothers me but the sleeping around within same group of people. It's like two sisters sharing the man or two brothers sharing a women. Disgusting!
2. After all these years of pushing the women to be independent, focused and in control of her destiny, I find out that this show still presenting the women as a simple minded, chasing men and driven by primitive desires.
3. Total delusion about boundaries. And thinking that talking about feelings to whoever and whenever is a healthy thing to do! It's actually amature thing to do. speaking without thinking and without consideration is childish.
4. No will power, no self-respect, and no dignity. The characters do whatever comes in mind and whatever they feel doing. Is that it? Which category should we put this kind behavior at?
5. Total disregard to the basic morals in life. They act like they are in the caveman era.
6. Wasting the first 27 years trying to figure out their paths in life. In reality, they are showing that these first 27 years were only revolving around sex. For example: Jessa's character, she's decided at the end that she wants to be in a monogamy relationship! Wow, good for her! She has done nothing, absolutely nothing in her life and this is her biggest victory and her biggest achievement.
I get it, I get it, the show wants to say, hey, they want to explore and figure out life. Hey, it's free country, you don't tell me what to do. hey, sex is natural, don't be prudent! Actually, a civilized society is not like that. This only happen in uncivilized society and the lowest of the lowest.. The conclusion of the show came out with:
First: bunch of people who act like irresponsible children till their late twenties and they are ongoing. They couldn't even hold on the idea of friendship, or the idea of a beautiful love story that is worth to fight for. It's very bad writing when the general line of a character changes every 5 episodes. A very bad writer when they don't know how to build a character-like-live person. The character changes depending on the writer's mood. For example, this is what happen with the character of Adam Driver.
Second: Bunch of people who came from broken families and parents who themselves don't know how to be adults. Is this the new generation of USA? The country is doomed if it true! Doesn't anyone care about education? The last message the show delivers: hey, she's a loser, her mom's a loser and she's going to bring up another loser to this world!!! Very good for her and congratulations!!! Her achievement is getting her baby to suck on her breast! wow! big deal. Women is doing that since the beginning of life! Don't tell me in the last 2 seconds Hannan's learned how to act like a mother or a normal human being. The few of the last sentences in the show, when Marnie was talking to Hannah's mother, she was saying maybe I will go to a law school, the mother responded: boring!! I literally said: WOW!!! So, having a decent degree or career is boring now? So, anyone who is not a writer, singer, or actor is boring now?
The show reflects the writers' useless superficial destructive thoughts or perhaps lives. They act like bunch of hippies but in a slightly new color, The hippies of the twenty first century!
Justified (2010)
"Unjustified" and uncarachratristic last season
I loved the first five seasons, but not the sixth!
The last season was, for me, unjustified. It looks like it was written by someone else! Two important factors on which the show is based: The relationship between Ava and Boyd and Boyd's smart tactic and planning. I think the Boyd character is the best in the show. The uncharacteristic part was when a person who loves the way Boyd loves Ava wouldn't just let that gard just go and lose the only chance to get Ava out of prison just like that. This was unjustified! It made the show go down. The whole story of the last season, how Ava accept to betry Boyd how the marshals used her to get to Boyd was very weak story that does not rise to the level of the previous seasons' stories. The whole plot wasn't good. When I was watching it, it feels like I was watching some other show not the same justified of which I watched five seasons.
The Odd Couple (2015)
Where is Matthew? Why he became second?
I'm a big fan of Matthew Perry, I think he is a brilliant actor who deserves to be much more than what he is now. I was glad when he started the odd couple show. His character as Oscar Madison suits him very much.
However, the show lost it's focus! Supposedly, Oscar is the center of the events, or at least equal to Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon). Now the entire show is about Felix Unger, and Perry's role is merely a supporting actor!!! What happened? Thomas' character is becoming more and more like Sheldon Cooper's of The Big Bang Theory! Everything is about him and the others are attending to his every whim! Felix is being transferred to a genius who taught himself chess at age of five, and a person who knows several languages!!! He is walking and talking like a robot.
Also, I find that Thomas' voice is very irritating, or perhaps he is using this irritating tone on purpose! Perhaps he thinks it fits the character better. Why not? He is aright now that he is a robot-like!
The path the show is going to is not good and it reduces the quality of the show. I hope to see Perry back to be the focus of the show again and not his flat mate! Oscar Madison is only a shadow now and he is melting away under the role of Thomas Lennon... So sad.
2 Broke Girls (2011)
Disgusting
Are those who wrote this miserable TV Show really call themselves writers? Talking to the "writers" here: What's wrong with you? Don't you feel the disgust in your stomach? Do you really don't feel the need to vomit over this show? Apparently not, because, you are keeping regurgitating same dirty words, action, and dirty gestures, with no progression to what you call it the story of the show.
The show has no taste, not even a bit of art in it. Beside all its disgusting angles: The writing, the directing, the colors of their customs, the acting. Beside all this, we have to listen to the annoying voice of Beth Behrs, which is like a hammer in one's brain. Same rhythm, same tone, same strain, same ring!!!
Quit for God's Sake and let some worthy show takes your place!!
Tales of Manhattan (1942)
Deep Thoughts, Nicely Written, Except for the 3rd one, The Musician.
Charles Boyer's performance - 1st tale: the triangle love affair-was great as ever, Henry Fonda's- 2nd tale: The best man and the bride- quiet shy character is the secret of his charm and the key behind his brilliant performance, not only in this role but in every role he had ever played. The tales themselves were intriguing, Beautiful writing, fast and easy going. with unexpected resolutions. EXCEPT for the 3rd tale: the Musician. The scene with the audience's laughing was one of the most stupid scenes I have ever seen. I cannot believe that the people were really that superficial, and for that matter, no audience has a taste for classic music music could be that cruel and superficial. Weren't any philosopher, priest, teacher among them? Weren't any humble and compassionate soul among them? I cannot believe it, and that is why the scene was stupid and unrealistic. Probably I am mistaken, the people were and still are very much superficial regardless the level of their education, they follow the crowd blindly with absent minds. The 4th tale: class 1917 was truly wonderful; the writer expressed the idea in a very deep elegant manner, to the opposite of the writer if the 3rd tale. The 5th and the last tale, on the surface, it included Christian concept of loving each other and wishes' granted ideas. However, if someone wants to read in the depth of the story, it contained socialist\communist ideas. The movie is a "must see". Just neglect the 3rd tale.
Scorpion (2014)
Mathematical Error!!!
In the second Episode in the first season, at the beginning there was a scene showing the genius young boy correcting his Math teacher. The scene was: the teacher asking the students, which of these numbers are "divisible" by 4. Walter said, all of them. Teacher said No. Walter said, yes, because you said which of these number are divisible by 4, you should have said, which of these numbers are divisible by 4 without remainder!!! And here is the mistake!!! Mathematically, The term "Divisible" by itself, means, dividing without remainder!!! Neither the writer nor the director have any idea about basic terms in math!!! What a shame??? I am wondering, if the writer, director, producer, and so on... don't comprehend these things, why then don't they ask professionals to check these types of scenes?? I have found this mistake because its my job, I was wondering how many other mistakes there are in the other scientific fields in the story? Physics, Chemistry, Engineering,... My rating for the entire woke became very low after that scene!!! I have asked a lot of my colleagues and friends in other fields. We all agreed on one word, the show is stupid! Another thing! Why it is always showing the smart people like having Autism illness, and prefer isolation that cannot combine with the society? It is very superficial point of view!!!
Hotel (1967)
Metamorphoses of Hotel
I've read The novel 15 years ago. I've read it again a week ago. Both times I was amazed by the descriptions, the crises, the characters, the internal dialog, the struggle, and the richness of each character. Unfortunately, I've watched the movie only an hour ago, and I wish I didn't. Everything is superficial. I consider squeezing the wonderful novel into two hours, without preserving the spirit of the novel or its characters is a very bad job. I understand that canceling an entire character could happen because of the time. However, canceling key characters, and wasting the time instead with unnecessary scenes, that what I cannot understand. Arthur Hailey made me live and feel the back stage of a hotel... the crises that could happen in hotels and how to handle them efficiently without effecting the atmosphere around the gussets. I've felt nothing when I was watching the movie. Not even one character was written as it should be. The ending is different, the music is annoying. The ingenuity and the patience of Keycase techniques were demolished into nothing. The professionalism of Peter's work, his caring about the hotel, his fear of losing his job, his fear of his past, all that wasn't in the movie. Warrant's feeling of the slow death of his beloved hotel wasn't in the movie. The loving, caring, generous character of Kristine was canceled. Walt's character, The KEY-PIECE of the puzzle was canceled. Then what was left? The screen play writer left and canceled all that for what? For writing scenes with Jazz music? with a Jazz singer? Were that important? What I felt is this: the movie is an ugly metamorphoses of the novel.
