Looks like this show could be great after seeing episode 1
16 April 2024
Robert Downey Jr on an HBO show that Team Downey produced is looking promising after episode one . Looking forward to seeing how this series plays out ,definitely has an interesting story. People saying in their reviews that Downey should let another actor play the role is ridiculous , having one of the best actors of our time playing this role can only improve this show also bring in more viewers considering the other cast members are unknown but after seeing the pilot the cast is great! The last show that Team Downey produced about Perry Mason was amazing so I would expect this to be just as good if not better ,guess we'll see.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Fish Stuck (2024)
Season 12, Episode 5
10/10
Larry David could do more seasons and keep the show about as great as it started!
5 March 2024
I love how the Genius of Larry David has gone on for this long! So far this season has been great and fits he times and culture we live in . It's going to be sad after this season ends but you never know Larry Could get bored and do another season in a few years, yes he says it's definitely the final season but than again he has a lifetime contract to do another season whenever he wants with HBO, Probably not likely but you never know... if not thos show has a lot of rewatch value so it'll be around for generations to come! Curb your your enthusiasm is definitely in the top best shows ever in my opinion and I'm sure a lot of other people's too.

Swarm (2023– )
8/10
Dominique Fishback is killing it the lead in Swarm!
9 August 2023
I've been a huge fan of Dominique Fishback since seeing her in The Deuce on HBO, an extremely excellent and up and coming actor.

Dominique Fishback is the only reason I checked out this show and I am highly impressed so far. Hopefully Swarms pilot has a great season to follow the amazing pilot. I'm on episode 2 now and so far it looks promising.

Swarm is definitely a different type of show from most so far so right now I'd highly recommend checking it out (9.6/10) for the pilot .

Amazon Prime does have some great shows so I'm looking forward to this one being added to that list . Don't want to spoil it so I'll stop here and add more reviews as I watch.

Don't Look Up (2021)
9/10
Brilliant! Realistic take on ....
20 June 2023
Realistic take on how millions of people don't believe in science because they've let politics brainwash their minds into believing that climate change is a hoax . That's just one of the genius ways Adam McKay shows how millions of people believe in misinformation from grifters that have no morals and get people to believe in things that are not only common sense but ignore hard-core FACTS! This movie has a lot of truth to it amoung other things that show how people don't believe in reality. 9.6/10 Very highly recommended!

Great storytelling on what's happening to our planet I'm a way that could do a lot of good even if it can only change a handful of people to change their beliefs in climate change!

The Wire (2002–2008)
10/10
Average rating over 9 proves The Wire is one of the best shows ever!
9 December 2022
This show has amazing writing, production, acting etc. You'll never find a show so realistic... they teach a class at Harvard about the show.

Most of the characters are based on real people and the creators, 1 was a newspaper writer and the other a cop (in Baltimore) so I'm pretty sure they know how the system works better than almost any other showrunners could do.

Some reviews (very few) say it's boring or complain about everything in this series but that's the point it's realistic so it doesn't hate fictional drama to make it more entertaining. It's real life and when those rare reviews that give low ratings think it's gotta be like every other cop/ drug dealer show. They obviously have bad taste when over 90% of users rate it mostly a 9 or 10.

The Wire is beyond great and it was 100% filmed in Baltimore even interior shots to add to how realistic it is. I couldn't recommend many shows as high as The Wire.

If you want to educate yourself on how things really work this is the only show there is! A++ , If you don't see this show you're missing out big time unless seeing how cops , drug dealers etc really work in the real world doesn't interest you then maybe it's not for you. If you do like cops shows you're doing yourself a huge disservice by watching CSI or the like.

The Wire is definitely in my top 3 favorite shows EVER!

CHECK IT OUT!

The Ice Road (2021)
1/10
Forced to watch by a friend...
12 August 2022
Watched this mess of a D grade movie that is awful from the acting, writing, cgi , etc etc. My friend said we're always watching movies or shows that I like or want to so he picked this Ice Road Truckers:The Movie and what a **** show ! I've seen many awful movies but most if not all times I can shut it off rather than subject myself to being tortured for 2 hours.

Very Highly Recommend DO NOT WATCH THIS !

A look into the lives of Newman/Woodward that shows things most never heard about
30 July 2022
An amazing look at Paul Newnan and Joanne Woodward that shows and tells so many things I never knew about. Ethan Hawk couldn't have done a better job of bringing these stories from interviews done with Newnan, Woodward, family, friends, coworkers etc that were recordings on cassette tapes unfortunately for unknown reasons Paul Newnan destroyed. But someone transcribed them all so with thousands of pages of what was on these tapes Ethan got a handful of his actor friends to read the transcripts like George Clooney (read Newman's part) Laura Linney (read Woodward's) with many other well known actors reading transcripts from the interviews from friends, actors and directors Newnan/Woodward worked with also their children did some interviews themselves. It really is fascinating to discover a lot of the important parts of their lives most people never knew about. Highly Recommend! This is a must see documentary especially for any Paul Newnan/Joanne Woodward fans and even if you're not fans at all there's a story here that about 90% of it I never heard about, it's fascinating to say the least 10/10.

Better Call Saul: Point and Shoot (2022)
Season 6, Episode 8
10/10
Better Caul Saul only gets better and better!
12 July 2022
For a prequel show that has characters that if you've seen Breaking Bad a handful of them have plot armor but they still brilliantly got me on the edge of my seat with characters I know will live and that's not easy for any show to do .BCS had me from episode 1 season 1 and I never thought things could get so tense....man what a ride so far!! 10/10 for this episode! Also I've heard they filmed the season not knowing where they'd split it up for the first half of it ended and the second half started and some of the earlier seasons have multiple episodes have such high stakes that blow other great shows finale or season openers away , hard to find shows this amazing season after season, episode after episode. I couldn't think of any show right now that's currently running I'd recommend more!

Better Call Saul: Plan and Execution (2022)
Season 6, Episode 7
10/10
How do they keep topping themselves?
13 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Another amazing episode that I didn't see coming ! I'm a huge BCS fan and of course BB is the reason that I wanted this show but never thought I'd like it more !

The way they set up this episode was Genius!! I reacted almost the same as Saul and Kim after Lalo just casually saud he wanted to talk and shoots poor Howard in the head for no reason except that of course he's a lose end at that point considering he's a fugitive and psychopath.

Can't wait to see the aftermath and what he wants to talk about, I have a little bit of an idea but knowing how this show surprises us I'm probably wrong lol Way to go so far in this final season! 10/10 !

The Young Turks (2005– )

Rare News Network that is telling the truth
28 May 2022
TYT has always been a fact based news network and also tells news stories that mainstream media would never talk about especially this in depth. Even though it's a progressive network they tell the truth about the left and the right.

The reason you see so many low ratings is mostly right wing/Republicans hate being called out on their bs lies , they don't care about facts at all henceforth the term "alternative facts" whatever that means. I'd bet there's so much hate from the right people actually would go through the trouble to make multiple accounts to put this show down.

Vice Principals (2016–2018)
9/10
Danny Mcbride makes another great comedy series with HBO
15 May 2022
Danny Mcbride amd Walter Goggins are hilarious in this show their chemistry couldn't be better along with the rest of the cast. Great show from start to finish! By the way if you're looking for a show that doesn't have swearing or content for Mature Audiences HBO is the network you should stay away from , hard to believe people rate an HBO show 1/10 because they think there's too much swearing or to vulgar maybe try Disney or a cable/network show that airs before 9pm. HBO is known for being a network show or say anything and it always will be.

Better Call Saul: Rock and Hard Place (2022)
Season 6, Episode 3
10/10
Better Call Saul only gets better and better...
28 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I really think this show has definitely just as good if not better than Breaking Bad especially after seeing this amazing episode. Yes it sucks when you lose one of the best characters and actors in the series Nacho played with perfection by Michael Mando. He went out on his own terms , well the best way he could considering the situation his choice put him in ... surprised me they did this so early in the final season but it definitely was perfec!

Slipping Kimmy & Jimmy continue on their scam to set up Howard which is looking like their best plan so far. BCS has the best writers, actors, directors etc in the business amd it shows in every single episode! 10/10 and if you rated this episode anything under a 5 or 6 then this show isn't for you, consuder a show that doesn't use visual story telling and spells everything out for you through dialog or other cliche methods , BCS is a show you really have to pay attention to small details that are easy to miss and I sometimes miss a without re watching every episode a few times.

Better Call Saul Returns in a masterpiece to start the season
19 April 2022
The writing, acting, directing etc etc are amazing in this series and the whole crew is back to finish the series and I believe they'll end it just like it started... one of the best TV shows ever!

This episode is definitely a strong start to start the final season picking up where we left off pretty much immediately after last season ended and it's a 10/10 !

Talking Dead (2011– )
1/10
These shows are overrun by double the amount of seasons plus there's too many spin offs !
18 April 2022
Then you have a talk show about the garbage they've turned Walking Dead into , was good until season 4 and it definitely didn't need a bunch of crossover spin offs on the ruined original show!

Inspired by Tron from the early 80s
23 March 2022
Maybe none of the writers or anyone involved in making this sequel to Space Jam part 1 saw Tron or they did and are too dumb to come up with something original, that's ok though because Hollywood is into remakes, reboots , soft reboots etc. The original Space Ham ... *Jam .. whatever wasn't anything I'd watch again let alone finish so why make this sequel with a plot line totally stolen from TRON then afterwards it's basically a long commercial and even a 30 second commercial is too long in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and spare some suffering by skipping this garbage... The budget for this movie was 150 million and it made 152 million at the box office.

The 1st movie had an 80 million $ budget and made 250 million.

Don't think anyone wanted a sequel to Space Jam (which I'm no fan of either)

Obsessed (2009)
3/10
Emoji scene was where they really had me scared N thrilled
14 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Decent casting with Beyonce, Idris ,McGill etc on wasting great talent . The winking emoji part changed everything though I mean it had me fooled on just being a regular smiling 🌝 ( a 2009 version) lol .... not really though but it was funny (in a bad way) when the tense score kicked in during that. This movie definitely made some great money considering what the movie is... how terrible it is . I'm surprised Beyonce or Idris even took on this project after reading the script unless they were paid some crazy salary and didn't read or care what the script was. Anyways unless you are a huge Beyonce fan and love seeing her in a movie no matter how bad. 2.8/10 & the points go to the emoji part and the awful cat fight the end.

This Episode really has nothing to do with Bubba Fett
26 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This episode doesn't really belong in The Book of Bubba Fett, it could tie in in with Bubba Fetts story possibly in the next episode or two but right now it's like an episode that could have started season 3 or maybe another episode after Mandalorians season 2. Definitely a great episode and the best episode in season 1 of The Book of Bubba Fett even though as of now it doesn't belong in The Book of Bubba Fett season 1. We'll see how the next few episodes play out and s÷ if this episode fits in this shows season. 10/10 but I'd have to give it 9/10 because it's totally has nothing to do with Bubba Fetts story.

Dexter: New Blood: Cold Snap (2021)
Season 1, Episode 1
10/10
""Tonight's The Night, Hello Dexter Morgan"
8 November 2021
Really awesome to have another season of Dexter AKA Dexter:New Blood. I was a huge fan of Dexter except the last few seasons especially the ending but now they have a chance to make up for that. When Scott Buck took over as showrunner in season 5 the show definitely went downhill, Clyde Phillips who was the original showrunner has returned for this new chapter in the Dexter series. This 1st episode definitely was a great start and I'm optimistic about it ending strong as well. Welcome back Dexter!!

BMF (2021– )
2/10
BMF trying to be the next Power , low bar to set
30 October 2021
This show has the worst lead and supporting actors I've ever seen aside from a D list movie or some cheap 70s porn movie. 50 Cent should stick to making music because making want to be gangster shows isn't something he's good at The bad acting is only the beginning of BMFS Problems.

Starz really doesn't make many quality shows sure they get lucky once in a while but not enough to subscribe to their channel. They don't attract even a small portion of the talent HBO does henceforth is why HBO attracts the beat people in the business for TV shows and movies, sure they have had their share of bad shows as well also had amazing shows they were stupid for canceling like Deadwood to name one.

The bad casting is where this show starts even if they had 1 great lead to carry the show the storyline that actor wouldn't have much to work with. The story isn't very compelling, maybe it started with a good idea but they certainly didn't have 1 good showrunner, producer, writer on their team , even the look of 1980s Detroit doesn't have the feel of what it really was like back then , it could be the bad directing or their using some cheap cameras to film it.

I can't go too deep into BMF because it doesn't offer anything except of some of the things I've mentioned before.

Watched the pilot some of the second episode until it got unbearable it has not a single thing going for it, maybe 50 should go watch a few successful shows before making his own there's certainly an abundance of high quality shows these days I could name a few but there's no point! BMF is also not good name for any show , maybe something with Detroit in the title plus it would help a lot if they shot on location not Atlanta or wherever.

BMF 2/10 it's a real sleeper.

10/10
Tom Hiddleston said episodes 4&5 would start getting really good!
30 June 2021
So far he's right on after seeing episode 4! Assuming episode 5 will be too especially after seeing this episode. See for yourself, one thing's for sure this is probably the best Marvel show so far!!

9/10
Great episode about pro skier Nick Brewer
19 June 2021
Nick Brewers true story about how a tragic accident ends his Is professional skiing career and puts him on a dark path into the underground drug smuggling world. The actor who plays Nick is very convincing which makes the story feel more authentic . Well done episode, one of my favorites from this series. Highly recommended!

Watchmen (2019)
10/10
Gripping!!
31 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This show has a lot going for it, amazing storytelling, directing, cinematography, score, acting etc. Show creator Damon Lindelof (co-creator of Lost and The Leftovers) is one of the best in my opinion and this show is perfect for him. Trent Reznor(NIN) does the score which fits the show nicely as well. The cast is very good as well lead by the brilliant Regina King who is kick ass in this role.

Like most HBO shows it has the feel of a movie. The special effects are the best you'll see in any TV show, the sets are out of control, one of my favorite parts is the costumes.

Watchmen is very relevant to what's going on in our world ,especially relevant to how things are in the US past and unfortunately present...which explains the huge amount of Troll reviews on IMDB and sadly they make in some cases dozens of accounts to rate it a 1/10 or the like. These trolls even review episodes before they're even on the air.

Do yourself a favor and make up your own mind by giving the pilot a watch (the show takes off right away ,don't need 3 or 4 episodes to get what's going on and you won't need to read Watchmen or see the movie before checking out the show. I wasn't sure exactly what direction things were going in until episode 2 which is even better than the pilot. Great on showing the political atmosphere and how white supremist (AKA MAGA) 7th Calvary but they don't really need their masks nowadays...yes!

Chernobyl: Vichnaya Pamyat (2019)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
Once you start watching..WOW!
4 June 2019
I'll just say this miniseries is on my Higher Reccomend list along with shows like The Wire , Deadwood, Band of Brothers etc. HBO has a higher level of quality then any other network and more often than not a series like Chernobyl comes out that has some hard hitting truth to it that I never really knew about henceforth after seeing this I'd go after anything on the subject I get my hand on and find out more. Again Unbelievably truthful series that's a must see , go check it out!

Chernobyl: 1:23:45 (2019)
Season 1, Episode 1
10/10
Wow what a start !!! I'm speechless...
14 May 2019
This is not TV remember, it's HBO!! That being said if you know HBO'S track record on historically based miniseries like Band of Brothers, The Pacific, The Corner etc. This very accurate pilot episode for the newest HBO miniseries really had me interested after seeing a short trailer for Chernobyl which if you don't know it was a nuclear power plant that had a very tragic incident back in 1986 Ukraine, as I said I'm speechless after this episode and really would like to watch it over again. LIKE NOW! You can Google Chernobyl if you're interested in the history but I'd recommend watching this 1st either way it won't effect how you like or dislike it, after the first 15 minutes into this episode I was sold big time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 10/10!!
