Baskets (2016)
Hilarious Subtle Comedy
I've been turned off by Galifianakis doing sophomoric comedy elsewhere, but not here (so far). Martha! This series is a gem. Great scripts and cast. Louis Anderson (RIP) amazing. I became acquainted with Louis watching his brilliant storytelling on "This is not Happening".
Taken at Birth (2019)
Agonizingly slow and redundant
If so many Hick's babies (as adults) actually wondered if they were related to Dr Hicks, wouldn't their DNA results offer clues to that question? Many would be half siblings.
So much time with the nice woman who couldn't decide whether to look at her Dad's 41 year old corpse. Enough already - don't look! You can get DNA from almost anything these days, so all the "suspense" at the condition of the body was fabricated.
Look forward to hearing more on this investigation.
Bonusfamiljen (2017)
Normal (flawed) people with lots of Love
I liked seeing so much affection, wonder if typical in Sweden? Don't watch if your views of sex are puritanical...you'll be very disturbed.
Parents may seem overly permissive but actually not a bad strategy. Keep loving and talking to your kids they'll figure out on their own. Overly restrictive parenting often backfires, the kids making bad decisions out of sight.
Interesting as the show progresses through 4 seasons we see the characters evolve or devolve. Almost everyone is cringy annoying at some point. Patrik especially - close your mouth! The worst character actually grows up to be more mature than the parents.
Katya (and Henrik) in Season 1-3 was my favorite character - sublime acting. The 4th Season Katya, meh.
I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson (2019)
Mr Show this is not
Actors are fine, just didn't find very humorous. Suffered through 6 episodes hoping would get better. Meh.
Ok, increased my rating....a few sketches are pretty funny....coffin drop, I Hate Magicians...

Cruel Summer (2021)
Too Long otherwise intriguing
An intriguing "crime" story line taking place in 90's, while addressing with thoughtfulness relationships and social issues. Refreshing to see youth portrayed without being over sexualized. Too long! Five episodes probably enough. Is jumping back and forth in time really necessary? Seems contrived only to make story appear more interesting. Excellent acting and character development.
Paranormal 911 (2019)
Skeptic's Dream
If ghosts are fake, this fake show is for you. Maybe would be tolerable except for the unrelated sounds (crashing, banging, hissing, screeching, squealing) and gruesome visual effects incessantly flashing on screen. These effects not related to the "story" being described by the 911 actors, yet thrown in there.
Peak Practice (1993)
Season 12 finale hilarious
I watched Season 1-4, knowing ones lifetime is limited skipped to Season 12. The drama these people endure! Episode 12-12, the final episode was quite the shocker. Hilarious.
A Ghost Story (2017)
Only good thing about this film
Was reading all the great reviews, describing how terrible is this film. Really bad. Like watching paint dry. Phony and contrived. If you want to know maybe a little about death and the afterlife, watch Present! on Youtube. Amazing people describing amazing Near Death Experiences.
Catfight (2016)
How could anyone's teeth survive?
The premise had potential, but the characters overly shallow, cliched and unrealistic. Didn't care for the corny sound effects or graphic violence.
