A Splash of Love (2022)
Beautiful Scenery, Stupid Female Lead
I tried to get past how stupid the female lead character was, but I couldn't. Here was a student studying for her PhD who totally lacked common sense. I guess the writer needed a cute meet set up which I could get overlook, but the character continued to act like an idiot. I really wanted to see this movie for the location and subject matter, but making the female lead an idiot was not for me. I may fast forward through it to make it watchable or just watch a nature program.
Fargo (2014)
2 out of 3 Ain't Bad
I highly recommend the first two seasons of Fargo. The third season seems to try too hard with the twin gimmick which for me didn't pan out. Regarding the first season, it should be noted that I am not a fan of Billy Bob Thornton, but he was so good at being bad that he won me over. Definitely two solid seasons with great casting and interesting storylines.
Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown: Far West Texas (2018)
Classic Bourdain
Although some viewers might find this episode too political, I found it was classic Bourdain. He lets the people do the talking. Also, as a fan of West Texas, I enjoyed Big Bend country was highlighted especially Marfa. I plan on saving this episode to explore some of the restaurants.
Rectify (2013)
A Great Binge Worthy Drama
Rectify is a great drama that makes the viewer think and stays with you long after you finish watching it. A solid cast and interesting story line. This quality series did not get the attention it deserved.
True Detective (2014)
Second Season Fails
The second season of True Detective is beyond bad. I watched the entire season thinking at some point it would get better. However, the best thing about the second season was the clever online comments the day after each episode aired. Terrible acting and a horrible story line. Don't waste your time.
