But why are you going to dedicate episodes to someone that abused the missing person, last to see them, took the hotel room key away, and didn't bother to listen to the last VM before pretending to look for them?

Victim left VM saying she was leaving, but perp didnt listen since she was outside so he went out there to talk. Perp made sure she didn't leave by taking hotel & car keys.

Where's the disconnect in logic y'all? She wanted away, he wasn't having it. If he can't have her then no one will, and now he gets all the attention & sympathy his narcissism needs to fuel his life. He cries about how hard he works to find her but he doesn't actually do any looking. He knows where she is, he put her there.

(The above is speculation & for educational purposes only.)

It seems that a lot of the show is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. And if folks want to comment about how it's far removed from the movie(s) that's OK too, because it is. It's supposed to be. Those same folks are upset that it's empowering to women & that's a shame. You gotta love folks that out themselves as misogynists & willing victims of the male patriarchy. It's disappointing but at least they're admitting it now.

The musical numbers are fun, the singing is great, the acting could be improved. Not everyone on the screen is great. I look forward to seeing the characters grow & continue to highlight just how awful it is to be a person of color and/or a woman.

I really love the folks complaining about accuracy, because the car flying off into the sky at the end of the movie is SO accurate to the time. LOL.

If you like shows or movies that are slow-burns then this is the right show! I think a lot of people could feel that slowness in early episodes and realized it wasn't going to pick up. And maybe they noped-out early. I can't blame them. I watched the series in 3-episode spurts, and then waited a few weeks to watch the final episode.

I love seeing Carell in non-comedic roles & he was excellent as Alan, Gleeson as Sam though? I can see his haunting face when I close my eyes. The backstory that gets interspersed seems a little unnecessary, but I get that they want us to better understand Carell's character arc.

All in all, this is one of the best mini-series I've seen in a long time. And I'll never need to watch it again. Once was enough. (That's a compliment, FYI.)

There are so many shows/movies/themes overlapping here that you'll be able to figure out exactly what's going to happen next. Protagonist, Darby, is likeable but flawed. Antagonist, Capri (Capricorn), is insecure & vapid.

Outcast vs. Popular, Mean Girls style. Complete with their own version of Aaron Samuels. There are also themes from Heathers (OG, I've never seen the new one), Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That...Just about any other early 2000's movie you can think of including the TV show Ghost Whisperer.

But here's why I gave it an 8: it's supposed to be all of those movies. All of the clichés are obviously intentional, and the acting really isn't that bad. I even teared-up at one point, just a sweet moment between two characters that was unexpected.

Final advice: watch it with your teens if they're allowed to hear some swear words or watch it when you're laid up on the couch with a cold (like I am). It wasn't a bad way to spend a few hours.

I never saw The Rookie so I have a feeling a lot of the negative reviews are comparing this show to its predecessor(?). But not having any preconceived notions about the show seems like a good thing to me: I'm enjoying it so far!

There are so many drama cop/fbi/csi procedural shows these days & this is definitely not one of them. It's more light-hearted than those shows & I love that!

Niece Nash is such a talented actor, I'm excited to see where she takes this character & how they're going to flesh out the storyline. The best part of a storyline that doesn't fit the real-world narrative (of real FBI rookies) means it could go anywhere from here! =)

This movie was trying so hard to give graceful endings to some characters, trying to refresh older characters, trying to make some characters relevant again.

The plot was so incredibly boring I had to break the movie up into watchable parts just so I could eventually finish it. There was no way I could watch it all at once. Thank goodness I didn't see it in a theater, I would've been hard pressed not to pathetically eat my way through 10 buckets of popcorn.

I would say not to waste your time watching it but if you're a fan of the series then you might as well check it off your list. This movie is a forced labor of love for somebody but us fans have all forced ourselves to watch it.

If you want to watch this movie from the outside in then it's easy to do because the tragedy referenced didn't occur. But immersing yourself in this story & allowing yourself to remember the emotions of tragedies that did occur will greatly change how you experience this movie.

The acting was well done, Mia Isaac is a powerful force. Don't watch this as an observer, try to place yourself in the footsteps of these characters. Any of them. All of them. Whatever. Just try it.

If you're a fan of Batman then you'll be bored. If you're not a fan of Batman then you'll be bored. This movie is unnecessarily long.

It's not the worst movie ever so it can have some stars. And if you time your breaks for the bathroom, popcorn, a smoke, whatever, then you won't notice how painfully slow this movie is.

As someone who knows the bare minimum of bowling & can see the problems others have mentioned, the hair salon is still the most inaccurate of all. Not even the on-set stylists didn't have a friend to weigh in on a regular salon? If there are going to be glaringly obvious inaccuracies in the main plot you should be able to at least shore up the regular function of a hair salon. Or just avoid them altogether.

I don't see the show lasting more than a season & that's unfortunate! I had such high hopes but these actors are so stiff with each other. It's like they're just meeting for the first time on set in every scene.

Bring back The Unicorn, send this one back to the drawing board.

The only people giving this a low rating are those that can't see the forest because the trees are in the way.

This series explores how the ignorant & uneducated people are happy to be ignorant & uneducated. There are interviews with people that have thought for themselves, left their safe spaces, and educated themselves on literally everything the world has to offer.

Max wouldn't be interesting enough if he hadn't built his whole career on public shaming. Why would he direct anything that highlights public shame in a negative way as if his own public shaming behavior didn't actually happen.

If the cars were sold in 1998 then there would be no airbags. I'm sure Lulu's car should've had one, but we don't know about the other vehicle.

It's just a cute show. If you like the actors/actresses enough to not care about what roles they play then you'll like it. It's not great but it's entertaining enough. I look forward to the new episodes, but I don't go looking for them.

Don't know what westsideschl6 is on about, captions are there for this hard-of-hearing lady.

Of course it'll never be as good as the original, no one expected it to be, but it also doesn't need to be compared either as it sits well on its own.

The show is fun, and a pretty great homage to the original we all (well, most of us) grew up with. I can't wait for the next season!

But even with a great cast they couldn't escape the script. The script was horrible. Not just predictable, which it was, but seriously terrible. Shouldn't they be trying to write scripts to portray ways people normally interact or speak with each other? Because this script is like teaching a 6 year old how to read. Very basic words and concepts, very slow, and ultimately gets the job done. But was it a job well done? Nah, not at all.

3 stars for the cast-shameful that the writers didn't use them to their full capabilities.

I set it to record on a whim & went in with no preconceived notions. I'm only a casual watcher of The Big Bang Theory so I appreciated this look at Sheldon's background & really liked the actress who portrays Sheldon's Mom. I would definitely watch future episodes & hope there are some on their way!
