Excellent Series!

A History of the World in Six Glasses is funny, entertaining, and educational. Add to this the guys we all know and love: Blues Brothers Danny Akroyd & Jim Belushi, fellow SNL alums Jon Lovitz & Keven Nealon, plus our Beer-lovin' Barfly George "Norm" Wendt. I would be remiss if I failed to mention Rob Long the series Writer and Director was a Writer and EP of Cheers.

The show Is based on the Tom Standage book of the same title. The hosts and guests drink their way through history explaining how man moved from Caves to Cities, from an Agrarian society to an Automated Industrial economy. They teach how each of the Six Glasses, Beer, Spirits, "Soda" but we Southerners call 'em Cokes, Wine, Tea, and Coffee evolved and its impact on society.

This show alone is worth a month's Streaming fee on Fox Nation.

Watch this Series with your friends.

Okay, S01E01 & 02 officially sucked.

It is obvious that Donald P. Bellisario, former Sergeant in United States Marine Corps, is not part of Production. He would have made sure all uniforms had correct Ribbons & Badges, cast would meet military grooming & appearance standards and use correct vocabulary. No Coastie, Sailor or Marine would call a "Head" (bathroom for all you civilians) a Latrine, an Army and Air Force term. He would also had better scripts and better lead actors.

Unlike JAG and NCIS (OG), I was immediately hooked after first episode.

Pretty sure Leroy Jethro Gibbs would make a Rule about a show being this bad.

I will give it one more episode before I delete from DVR.

SEMPER FI.

For Seasons 1 and 2 I had rated "Goliath" a 9; this season was the best season so far so it deserves a 10.

It is difficult at times to follow the events, but a little rewinding can clear up most of the subtle clues you might miss.

The manner Season 3 ended could serve as a series finale, but it should serve as a catalyst for a time jump to provide for some of the events mentioned to unfold and give the characters new storylines.

Amazon needs to keep making program like this.

The movie sucked. It sucked more than a black hole about to collapse. As it collapses, "Gravity" increases to the point, it traps everything, even light. Nothing gets out.Not even Sandra Bullock could save it. I love her and will watch her in anything. However, great she and several other noteworthy actors are, they could not salvage this movie. The movie's plot had a great concept, but it was not developed into completed product. I do not need every sub-plot resolved, but this movie failed to resolve the most important component: what were the entities? Yes, at the beginning a character suggested they were "demons" but that did not explain why they only could control some people by seeing them. This story would have made a great "Tales From the Crypt" type half-hour short story. Best way to watch this movie is with a blind fold and sound muted while listening to the soundtracks of "Guardians of the Galaxy" 1 and 2.

I love Hallmark Christmas movies and watch them all. We know the formula and how they end. I also love Kellie "Pick" Pickler as a singer. Sadly, her singing talent cannot overcome her acting (in)ability and a movie that lacked a cohesive plot. Additionally, there were the normal problems of trees and bushes with green leaves, townspeople in short sleeves, and CGI or fake snow. But for Kellie's character to appear in a sleeveless dress outside with "snow" on the ground and all others bundled in winter wear, it was a bit too much. Even on my different and more forgiving scale for Hallmark Christmas movies, 3 stars is generous.

Prior to this Season I had rated the show an 8. It was excellent. This show was the main reason I got Netflix. Season 6 was a let down. The actors did a great job even with the crap the writers gave them. I have read 10th grade high school short stories hastily scribbled the night before it was due, that had a better writing; plot complete with climax and denouement. These writers did a disservice to the characters. They did not even phone it in--they texted it in.
