Moon Knight (2022)
More like MID Knight
Most of it was pretty mid. Oscar Isaac is great, Ethan Hawke is straight up bad. Some inconsistencies with the writing. Will update as the series goes along but so far it's nothing special.
The Blacklist: The Skinner (No. 45) (2021)
Uncle Fester is back!
Elizabeth is gone, great.
Writing is still bad.
Ressler's terrible wig gets -1 score.
The Skinner is probably the worst actor in the series, yes, he is much worse than the actress for Katarina Rostova.
Production value is terrible, scenes take place on a parking lot, warehouse, or in a car.
Laughed the entirety of my a*s off when Reddington was revealed. Dude looks like a lollipop.
Basically, one of my favorite shows became a funny-bad show. Great.
The Blacklist: Konets (2021)
...and nothing of value was lost
A pretty bad season finale.
Writing was, as usual, garbage. Some manipulative "You should feel sad now, sad piano music is playing" segments.
Zero reveals (as if you already didn't know that Reddington is Katerina Rostova).
Ressler got out of a hospital bed with a gunshot wound and ran a marathon.
Elizabeth killed by Randy McRandomson.
Not surprising in the slightest, knowing she publicly announced leaving the show after this season and Spader will remain for the next season.
Did you expect him to die? The sole person responsible for why the show is almost watchable? He will die in the end, as the only way terrible shows (like this one) can evoke an emotional response is to kill a character. And they gave him an incurable condition...
Goodbye to Jon Bokenkamp as well...Thanks for the great 4 seasons, before NBC and "executive story editors" destroyed the show.
The Blacklist: Nachalo (2021)
I waited 8 seasons for this...
Red's identity is something that I had guessed back when the whole Kaplan thing with the bones was happening. I suggested it to my girlfriend who laughed in my face. We considered to be the most comedic and outrageous thing they could have done... Well look at where we are now...
So, in fact, it DID turn out they had no idea what they are writing about. This was one of the most ridiculous, cliched and creatively-bankrupt plot points in any show I've seen.
Until the last 5 minutes of the episode I was hoping for some glimmer of creative writing but there was none to be seen.
This episode was essentially a PowerPoint presentation of previous flashback episodes, with retcons because the writers are genuinely lost in the sauce.
This was single-handedly worse than the abortion episode and the cartoon episode combined.
What a terrible plot line. I'm very happy Elizabeth is leaving the show, even though I don't intend on watching it after this season ends.
The Blacklist: Misère (2021)
Garbage
You know your writing is terrible when a disproportionate number of people show up to leave bad reviews...
Survivor BG (2006)
Parody of Survivor
Survivor Bulgaria is a terrible show. It has watered down the elements that make Survivor a great show and it's full of filler.
In Survivor, there is 1 episode a week, where a contestant is eliminated. In Survivor Bulgaria there are several episodes a week, and 1 contestant is eliminated at the end of the week.
There are 12 episodes to a regular season of Survivor.
SURVIVOR BULGARIA HAS 52 EPISODES EVERY SEASON.
There is so much dead air and filler in the show, that some episodes are unbearable to watch. It's so padded, and the contestants are so boring to watch...
The contestants are terrible most of the time, they do not know what Survivor is and how to play. They are unwilling to play the game as it's designed and instead chose to play it in the most boring way to watch.
There is no intrigue, besides the typical bulgarian bickering and pettiness. Sometimes you know who'll be voted out in the beginning of the week.
The host is nowhere near as entertaining as Jeff Probst, but Vladimir Karamazov is an improvement over the absolutely horrible Evtim Miloshev.
Contestants have been caught cheating, arranging payment to other contestants if they let them win, sneaking out of the regulated areas of Survivor and so on...
The editing, and especially the sound design is awful.
Also the only case of a death in any Survivor format ever occurred in Survivor BG.
Overall, after seeing over 20 seasons of Survivor, Survivor Bulgaria is the weakest version of the format I've seen.
The Blacklist: The Wellstone Agency (No. 127) (2021)
This episode was...very good.
Enjoyable throwback to classic Blacklist days with a touching tribute to one of the most loveable characters on the show. RIP Jelly Bean.
The Blacklist: The Fribourg Confidence (No. 140) (2021)
Boring and predictable
No Elizabeth, that's good. However, you can tell exactly what will happen in the episode after the first 5-10 min. Bland writing and boring storytelling.
We got some of the old Blacklist action, however, with the whole team collaborating in classic fashion to solve the case. That was OK.
The Blacklist: Elizabeth Keen (No. 1) (2021)
It will never end...
The show has been renewed for season 9. Maybe because they saw how cheap it was to produce, taking place in apartment buildings and parking lots. Therefore, the climax of the story will not take place this season. Maybe not even next season.
You can leave all your hopes that everything will be revealed and resolved this season at the door. There will always be another lazy plot device, one more scheming cabal of international criminals, each more evil than the one before, thicker foreign accents and mysteriously sounding villain names.
A complete waste of a wonderful opportunity to develop Keen's character so that due to the consequences to her own actions, and her stubbornness to pursue he truth she becomes just like her mother - a fugitive running for her life and abandoning her daughter.
Instead, horrible writing happens, she betrays and lies to everyone who believed in her and loved her (betrays some of them multiple times), which the show somehow has the audacity to try to justify.
Remeber back when The Blacklist had a creative premise, with interesting villains, each of which had an interesting motivation and sometimes a tragic backstory behind what makes them tick, with an overarching plot about betrayal, secrets and family?
A show held up by its wholesome cast of lovable characters, each with their quirks and personal struggles, with the mysterious presense of the always charismatic James Spader...
None of this is here now. Red is now reduced to a quip dispenser, who is dying whenever the plot demands it. The supporting cast (hey, agent Park is still here!) are buffoons, degraded to their most basic character traits, and serve exclusively as a tool for Elizabeth to get what she wants.
Welcome to The Keen Show. She's always right, she's always strong, She's better than you, she will win, and goddamnit, she'll be justified, despite being the most gullable character on TV, the worst FBI criminal profiler in TV history (Criminal Minds would be ashamed), and committed actual terrorism literally the previous episode.
At this point it's not about being a show that's not as good as it used to be, it's not about the fact that we're in a pandemic and their resources are limited, and it's not about the story running its course, the actors not having any desire to keep working or problems with the production
It's about a show that is poorly written.
I'd rather watch the animated episode.
1/10
The Blacklist: 16 Ounces (2021)
So basic and stupid.
A show written by children with one of the worst protagonists in TV history.
The Blacklist: Roanoke (No. 139) (2020)
Unwatchable
About as well written as a grade school play. I don't recognize the characters I grew to like in the first 5-6 seasons. They're all gone and replaced by androids.
The writers obviously have no idea what they're doing or where they intend on taking the story, the revelations that they tease every episode are an excuse to run in circles and introduce even more important-sounding bad guy name. Wow, the Townsend Directive, Sikorsky Archive, give me a f* break. KGBs, FBIs, Serbians!
Everyone is involved, trust no one.
The plot is stretched farther than a gymnast on a torture rack and so unnecessarily contrived.
I recommend watching this drunk with friends, hopefully one of them will understand what is going on and will explain to everyone else so you can all laugh.
Bratia (2020)
Almost incomprehensibly bad
A massive waste of time which, in all honesty, could get some laughs out of you but looks like something produced by YouTube or an attempt of tax fraud...
Floor Is Lava (2020)
Cringe factory
Pros
---
Funny to laugh at how bad it is with friends.
Funny falls and flops.
Cons
---
The worst host in the history of TV shows. Tries so hard to be funny and fails worse than the contestants on the obstacle course.
Very low production value - looks like it was made for tax evasion purposes
Lame contestants that try to be funny way too hard.
Edited in a way that makes everything anticlimactic and it feels like there's no competition (it is obvious who will win a long time in advance).
The rooms are really not creatively designed, and the show brags about "thousands" of ways of getting across, when logically you have 2 or 3 and most people use the easiest ones, so you end up seeing the same obstacle time and time again.
"Level 2" courses are the same as the original ones, but with minor, almost always nonsensical twists.
The rules are poorly thought out and make the game uninteresting.
The Blacklist: The Kazanjian Brothers (No. 156/157) (2020)
Oh Jeez
This was the most entertainment I've got from this show in the last 2-3 seasons.
The animation was so hilariously bad that its a miracle this somehow got greenlit by a major TV network and broadcasted.
It is understandable why the producers were forced to do this, and I found the introduction video to be quite touching, but they completely tanked it in the creative aspect of the episode.
What could have been a great opportunity to showcase an animation studio's talent and creativity turned into a straight-out-of-the 90s video game engine rendered scenes.
Abysmal transitions between cartoon and live action take away any sense of investment or immersion in the episode.
It's embarrassing how in a world where independent YouTube creators have tons more in terms of creativity and quality of animation than a show produced by Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television Studios
Elizabeth is still as bad as we're used to, despite the pixelated graphics, and her mom is worse - as usual.
Plot is about as bad and generic as you'd expect.
2/10 - 1 star for all the laughs I got from the animation.
The Blacklist: Twamie Ullulaq (No. 126) (2020)
Not much to say...
Below average episode. The show is trying way too hard to push agent Park, a completely useless and purposeless cast member, through sympathy manipulation backstory.
Besides her relation to the episode, there was some clever storytelling, albeit very predictable. The blacklister was...there, with a creative backstory involving real-life events, that reminded me of earlier seasons. Not much more about him to say though - he was pretty irrelevant.
Change of scenery was refreshing.
Hoping for less filler episodes in the future and for the show to finally get to the point.
The Blacklist (2013)
The Mighty Have Fallen
The Blacklist used to be a good show, somewhat formulaic, which managed to shake things up every once in a while enough to be entertaining. With some sharp writing, great diverse cast of interesting characters and sympathetic villains with interesting backstories.
This all ended at season 6.
The writers have written themselves in a hole, from which they can't seem to get out of, regardless of how many switcheroos they pull and what retcons they make.
Elizabeth Keen, a protagonist who used to be likable and sympathetic the first few seasons, is incredibly gullible and gets lied to and manipulated by everyone. This would be OK if she wasn't one of the top FBI profilers.
This show is still being held up by the great performance of James Spader, who sadly turns into an anecdote dispenser in the later seasons of the show.
The Blacklist: Cornelius Ruck (No. 155) (2020)
Basic
Everything that happens in this episode has been done better by another show. It just seems like the writers want to copy some ideas, or had ideas in mind that they weren't clever enough to execute well.
The action scenes are a poorly made music video and the villain is a complete joke. Half of the dialogue is exposition, we get some irrelevant backstory, racial stereotype characters and by the end of the episode nothing of value happens. You might have as well skipped this one and missed nothing.
Plot is going nowhere, considering that the show was supposed to end after season 7 and got extended for another season for no apparent reason.
No Elizabeth, though, so that's where my 2 score comes from.
And for the love of God, find an actual Eastern European to play Russian characters, it's so, so bad watching an american guy bumble his way through a horrible fake accent.
The Blacklist: Victoria Fenberg (No. 137) (2020)
A shell of its former self
The only redeeming qualities of this whole season is Red, Cooper and Ressler, the latter two have absolutely nothing to do which is why they haven't been completely ruined yet. Aram is too busy c*cking a vegetable man with his obviously impostor of a wife who is most probably an enemy.
Predictable as all hell episode, weak dialogue, even weaker blacklister. A positive for this episode is the lack of Katarina Rostova, whose actress could not act her way out of a paper bag riddled with holes.
The Blacklist: The Hawaladar (No. 162) (2019)
Meh
Katarina is an awful character, both acting-wise and in the way she's written, Agent Park is a completely useless and unnecessary addition to the team, especially in the final season and all Red has become is an anecdote dispenser.
The Blacklist: Hannah Hayes (No. 125) (2019)
Horribly inserted political propaganda episode
This might be the worst episode of the show so far. It poorly incorporates political messages that are not debated or discussed further than what the show wants to convey is right.
