A League of Their Own (2022)
I just can't get into it
I understand this is not a remake so I didn't go into it with that expectation. I just can't seem to get into the characters. Might be partly my own fault but I just don't connect with the main actors they chose. I just see Abbi and Janet and it's really hard for me to overcome. I was hoping to see more baseball but it's mainly taking place outside the field. The language doesn't feel quite right for the time period either. I ended up feeling bored with it after a couple episodes.
Maid (2021)
Enjoyable because it's real
I think some of these low reviews are from people who just can't relate to the main character. That's fine, sometimes you just don't get it if you don't get it. What I did see was myself in Alex, the stupid decisions we sometimes make and the complex relationships we have, motherhood, addiction and abuse cycle, etc. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and judge someone else's decisions but entirely different when you are in the situation yourself. I liked how real all the characters were- especially Sean.
Tayo the Little Bus (2010)
Sometimes annoying but my kiddo loves it
My 3 year old loves buses so this show is great for him. Some of the plot lines and characters are silly but it's not so horrible that I can't sit through it. The theme song is catchy and always playing in my head.
This Is Us (2016)
Slow, preachy, tries too hard
So boring idk why I have kept at it this far. They try way too hard to be dramatic and it falls flat so often. Season 5 is particularly bad and feels like a never ending lecture on leftist politics.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Eh... Boring
I hadn't heard any of the hype around this series before watching - I just saw it on Netflix and thought sure why not. Started out interesting but I quickly found myself watching it just to finish it. The pacing is slow and the scares are few. The acting isn't great and their lines/monologues get soooooo long I started tuning out or walking away and not caring if I paused it. I don't regret watching it through to the end but I wouldn't tune in to a second season.
