Or did she?Binge watched...enjoyed it! It was awesome! As with everything she's in, Kristen Bell delivered a stellar performance. Totally engaging and completely unexpected, and there was a cliff hanger! I enjoyed it immensely and have my fingers crossed it gets picked up for season 2!
8 stars - CreatorAdam GlassStarsMargarita LevievaCillian O'SullivanLydia FlemingExposed as an ex-Russian spy, an American single mom must juggle family life and unique shape-shifting skills in a battle against an insidious enemy.I gave up...Watched 4 episodes...thought it would be a good spy show but "morphed" into ridiculous syfy that didn't keep my attention.
2 stars. - CreatorChristopher MillerStarsTiffany HaddishSam RichardsonZoë ChaoWhen a high school reunion's afterparty ends in a death, everyone is a suspect. A detective grills the former classmates one by one, uncovering potential motives as each tells their version of the story - culminating in the shocking truth.So far so good...Hilarious and entertaining but definitely not for young children or people who lack a sense of humour.
7 stars. - CreatorNoelle StehmanBetsy Van StoneStarsSamantha AucoinJana MorrisonOlivier RenaudHigh school is hard enough, but when outcast BFFs Astrid and Lilly accidentally crack open a portal to a terrifyingly quirky monster dimension, it's up to them to save the world. That is, if they can survive the horrors of high school.It's very youth oriented and is trying to deliver a message about body positivity. I'm not sure if I like it as it's really bordering on that "Tween" kind of appeal but will keep watching.
3 stars - CreatorMatt LopezStarsJohn OrtizCecilia SuárezAugusto AguileraAn epic, generation-spanning drama about two Latino families vying for wealth and power in California's Sonoma Valley.Watched the first two episodes...It was exactly as I thought it would be. Family/backstabby/soap-opera-ish drama and it didn't suck. The story line was well planned and executed and the characters were a little edgy and I look forward to watching more.
7 stars - CreatorJulian FellowesStarsCarrie CoonMorgan SpectorLouisa JacobsonThe series follows the conflicts surrounding the new money Russell family and their old money neighbors, the van Rhijn family, in 1880s New York City high society.The weird stuff people worried about in 1882...Old money Vs. New money and fitting into society based on where your money/wealth originated from. It's quirky and weird but funny, so, I'll keep watching.
6 stars. - CreatorTony BasgallopStarsLauren AmbroseToby KebbellNell Tiger FreeA Philadelphia couple are in mourning after an unspeakable tragedy creates a rift in their marriage and opens a door for a mysterious force to enter their home.Completed first two seasons and currently watching season 3. WOW! Religious, cult-loving, non-human zombie-ish freaks with weird ability to turn dolls into babies...YIKES! Yeah, it's fiction, and totally ridiculous but it's so weird and creepy I can't stop watching!
9 stars. - CreatorDarren DaleMiranda DearRachel GriffithsStarsDeborah MailmanRachel GriffithsRob CollinsAn Indigenous woman in Australia is thrust into the political limelight.Completed the first 2 seasons and hope they renew it for a third. This Aussie political drama series is very engaging and the story line is never boring.
8 stars - CreatorBill DubuqueMark WilliamsStarsJason BatemanLaura LinneySofia HublitzA financial advisor drags his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where he must launder money to appease a drug boss.Completed season 4 part 1-Loved it! (Always do) Can't wait for part 2. Can never say enough good things about this show and I'm really sad to see it end with this season.
10 stars. - CreatorJez ButterworthTom ButterworthJames RichardsonStarsDavid MorrisseyEleanor Worthington-CoxMackenzie CrookIn 43 AD, the Roman Army returns to crush the Celtic heart of Britannia.Completed the first 3 seasons...LOVED IT! I don't know how I missed this show all together but was so glad to find it! Have my fingers crossed for season 4.
10 stars. - CreatorHannah BosPaul ThureenStarsBridget EverettJeff HillerMary Catherine GarrisonSam is a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggles to fit the hometown mold. Grappling with loss and acceptance, she discovers herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give up.Some things are better not watched.
Can't even give it a star. - CreatorJames GunnStarsJohn CenaDanielle BrooksFreddie StromaPicking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.I love my superheros! This show though...Not for kids, and definitely not for people who don't like foul language, violence, or adults behaving badly. If you can appreciate the show for what it is, it's kind of funny...otherwise, don't bother.
5 stars - StarsKaci WalfallCranston JohnsonAlexander WraithFollows a young woman and her hero's journey.More superhero stuff...I'm still on the fence about this show. I need to watch more episodes to decide if I like/dislike or feel indifferent about it.
3 stars - CreatorBrad FalchukRyan MurphyStarsSierra McCormickParis JacksonMerrin DungeyAn anthology series of stand-alone episodes delving into horror myths, legends and lore.Being that I'm a big fan of American Horror Story, I gave this a try. It's okay but why did they duplicate an already awesome show? I don't think this show needed to be made, they could have fit these story lines into the original.
4 stars - CreatorDanny McBrideStarsJohn GoodmanDanny McBrideAdam DevineFollows a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work.Can I get an AMEN?! OMG! I so love this show. I'm not usually big on the comedy dramas but being that I grew up watching the antics of the televangelists...yeah, it's hilarious. And Walton Goggins...I mean, he just makes everything awesome!
9 stars - CreatorAbe ForsytheStarsIsla FisherJosh GadAriel DonoghueGary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can't bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason.Completed Season 1. The show was fun, at times a little sad, with a touch of suspense. Anyway, good show and my fingers are crossed for a season 2.
7 stars - CreatorRebecca SonnenshineStarsMamoudou AthieDina ShihabiEvan JonigkeitAn archivist hired to restore a collection of tapes finds himself reconstructing the work of a filmmaker and her investigation into a dangerous cult.Completed season 1. A great thriller series with a definite dark horror/creep show component that kept me engaged and totally on the edge of my seat. Fingers crossed for season 2.
7 stars - StarsJalil ReddickRobert CunniffStephen GrayShowing the shocking, tragic crimes that rocked and divided tight knit high school football devoted communities, when football is the lifeblood of the town, and real blood is spilled.Not bad for a docuseries. I went to lots of football games during high school and fortunately never experienced anything negative like the stories shared in this series. As far as I know, no one ever got hurt, went missing, or died.
6 stars - StarsTom BradyMark HarmonSteve YoungMontana's firsthand account of his career from the earliest days to national champion at Notre Dame and becoming a four-time Super Bowl winner and a Pro Football Hall of Famer.Watching episodes as they are released. It's pretty good for telling his story from the beginning of his career. He's still my fave QB ever! I also just like him as a person, he comes across as being humble and a good, kind, & decent human.
7 stars - StarsMatthew GoodeTeresa PalmerAlex KingstonDiana Bishop, historian and witch, accesses Ashmole 782 and knows she must solve its mysteries. She is offered help by the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, but he's a vampire and witches should never trust vampires.Completed season 3. I loved this series and am disappointed that it's ending when there is so much more story that could be told.
8 stars - CreatorKatie WechStarsSophia BushJason IsaacsSkye P. MarshallFollows a talented yet stifled surgeon who embraces her leadership role after her renowned and pompous boss falls into a coma.I enjoy the medical dramas, so I had to watch this one. I like the dynamic between Sam and her dad...he's such a jerk lol. Good show, I think it will land a spot on my weekly watchlist if it gets picked up for season 2.
7 stars.
- CreatorMiranda KwokStarsElodie YungMartha MillanSean LewA Cambodian-Filipino doctor comes to the U.S. for a medical treatment to save her son but when the system fails she uses her cunning and intelligence to save her son.Good show. I like how the cleaning lady is able to assert herself and get what she wants.
6 stars - CreatorJosh HealdJon HurwitzHayden SchlossbergStarsRalph MacchioWilliam ZabkaCourtney HenggelerDecades after their 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament bout, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves martial-arts rivals again.Completed Season 4. Fun and engaging show as always...looking forward to season 5.
8 stars - CreatorDrew DowdleJohn Erick DowdleStarsMichael DormanJulianna GuillSharon LawrenceFollows a game warden and his family during a changing political and socioeconomic climate in a small rural town.Completed Season 1...It's not quite what I thought it would be, as I was envisioning less drama with a bit more action but overall it is a good story. My fingers are crossed for a season 2 as well as for more character development of some of the towns people.
7 stars - StarsRob LoweMia BankstonJackie BreyerFeaturing six thought-provoking top 10 countdowns of 1980s pop culture, as voted by a panel of experts. Including the most memorable moments, gadgets, toys, streetwear, etcNostalgia! I liked this docuseries but of course it's mostly because I am an 80's kid and it was like a trip to the past. And, well, let's be honest, who didn't crush on Rob Lowe?
5 stars - StarsCush JumboJames NesbittRichard ArmitageThe lives of a photojournalist, a soccer mom and a homicide detective are disturbed by a terrible event from the past.Completed Season 1. I don't think I have ever been more surprised by an ending than this one. OMG! The story line was terrific with lots of twists and the acting superb. I'd like to see it get a second season but it seems like the end was the end.
8 stars - CreatorTom EdgeStarsSuranne JonesRose LeslieGary LewisThe mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death onboard a Trident nuclear submarine bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services.Completed season 1. It was okay, I wasn't thrilled or excited by the story line and truthfully if somehow it morphs into a season 2, I'd be surprised but not interested in watching more.
4 stars - CreatorJules VerneStarsDavid TennantIbrahim KomaLeonie BeneschGentleman adventurer Phileas Fogg sets out on a quest to travel around the world and back home in a period of 80 days.Completed season 1. I thoroughly enjoyed this show once I got past the first 2 episodes. I think it just took a bit to warm up to but when I did I was completely invested. It was clever and fun and I'm looking forward to season 2.
9 stars - CreatorPatrick SomervilleStarsMackenzie DavisHimesh PatelMatilda LawlerA post apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines, telling the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding on to the best of what's been lost.I gave up...After the first 2 episodes, I decided it just really doesn't hold my interest enough to continue watching.
2 stars - CreatorJohn LinsonTaylor SheridanStarsKevin CostnerLuke GrimesKelly ReillyA ranching family in Montana faces off against others encroaching on their land.Completed season 4...OMG @ Beth! She is something else and poor jamie...He thought it was bad before? Ha! Anyway, love this show! Can't wait for season 5.
10 stars - CreatorTaylor SheridanStarsTim McGrawSam ElliottFaith HillThe post-Civil war generation of the Dutton family travels to Texas, and joins a wagon train undertaking the arduous journey west to Oregon, before settling in Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch.Watching weekly episodes. It is taking some time to warm up to this show...the story line is developing really slow and its hard to stay interested when they take a 2 week break after only 4 episodes. Episodes 5 & 6 were good and definitely needed...things are improving.
6 stars (for now) - CreatorClyde PhillipsStarsMichael C. HallJack AlcottJulia JonesTen years after faking his death in Miami and moving to Upstate New York under an assumed name, Dexter gets an unexpected visit from the son he abandoned.Completed season 1. Totally unexpected ending to an amazing show. I hope it gets picked up again for season 2 or some other rendition of the show. I would love to see it continue and for Harrison to figure out his own style of bad...or maybe even good.
10 stars - CreatorAnne BjørnstadEilif SkodvinStarsKrista KosonenNicolai Cleve BrochStig R. AmdamHBO Nordic's first original series from Norway, Beforeigners is about two persons who mysteriously appear in Oslo. They are the first of many from the past to seek refuge in present time. Seven years later the community is transformed.I gave up...Decided I don't want to read the story! I started watching season 1...Here's the thing, I thought it would maybe be a combination of English and the other language it's in, but I'm doing a lot more reading than watching.
2 stars - CreatorBrendan FletcherWarwick ThorntonStarsRob CollinsShantae Barnes-CowanCallan MulveyFollowing two indigenous Australian hunters to battle the last colony of vampires in the South-Australian desert.I gave up...Decided it's just not worth my time.
1 star - CreatorMichael Patrick KingDarren StarStarsSarah Jessica ParkerCynthia NixonKristin DavisThe series follows Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.Final episode this week. I've enjoyed the show for what it is, however, the Miranda story line...yeah, no, I'm just not feeling the love for that story line...I mean really, a 55 yr old woman confused about her sexuality? I don't care if she's straight, gay, or even A-Sexual, the point is she's 55 and just now figuring that out? C'mon! The rest of the show is okay.
