East New York (2022–2023)
9/10
Great Potential
23 October 2022
Starts off good: good cast, interesting circumstances, a lot of options, East New York can go anywhere.

After 3 episodes it looks like we know who the main characters are going to be, and they look promising. I don't know anyone except Jimmy Schmitts, but the others look like they can handle themselves.

I hope they continue to have good writing/plots and good actors in episode roles. We could use a good police show that has more range than murder after murder.

If they don't screw this up, this has potential to be very good or maybe even great. I doubt it can be as good as NYPD Blue or Wired (my 2 favorites), but one can hope.

TyskySour: Driving While Black (2020)
Season Unknown, Episode Unknown
8/10
the fear of Driving while Black from the '30s to today
14 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A history of Blacks driving out of their small towns in the south, using things like the Green Book to find places they can go and still be safe, the places they were able to go, the businesses that were able to grow with their patronage, the economic and recreational benefits of that travel, the building of the interstate freeway system often through the Black neighborhoods, and Driving while Black now. This summary sounds dry, but the film is emotional, dealing mainly with the fear of Driving while Black from the '30s to today.

Bel Canto (I) (2018)
8/10
This movie is not about opera or terrorism
22 May 2019
There appear to be a lot of "haters" because of what this movie is not about. What it is about is the relationships that develops between 2 groups, between terrorists and their captives (perhaps "Stockholm Syndrome"?). While the movie is not as good as the novel, it is very good.
