Unstable (2023)
Sian Clifford is a gem! Reminiscent of Better Off Ted
The show is fast paced, witty, and an easy watch. It reminds me of Better Off Ted.
After watching 6 episodes, I've found the characters are really starting to find their overall stride, which can take a few in super fast paced comedy shows. Father and son Lowe duo have instant chemistry, which should be expected but doesn't always happen. It's a little fun to spot the actual familial body mannerisms between them. Rob Lowe is his standard offbeat funny guy. Owen is showing his own comedy chops too. Can't help but wonder how many of those "getting out of my dad's shadow" zingers come from reality.
The true gem of the show is Sian Clifford! Her comedic timing that was obvious in Fleabag is on full display in playing a main, full-time character. She and Rob Lowe blend well together, with contrasting character personalities but clear trust in the other. They balance well. Rachel Marsh is also a fun actress to watch.
Absolutely worth a watch, especially if just looking for some easy laughs.
Doesn't hurt to have the appropriate one liners on how we've been destroying the planet and the opportunities to MAYBE make change.
Hmmm...should that be funny? Love the belief-trust in science!

Spirited (2022)
Great Chemistry -Cast
This was a refreshing, new take on A Christmas Carol. I'm sad people are reviewing it poorly because they don't like musicals. It's a musical, don't watch if you hate musicals.
Reynolds & Ferrell have great chemistry as the leads, but all the cast was excellent. The quips were funny but not overdone, I didn't feel like I was watching a "Will Ferrell" movie. The pace was great.
Yes, a lot of musical numbers. So again, maybe don't watch if that doesn't intrigue you. The first few are not as good but the second half really picks up steam and quality of music.
Loved the messaging and it was really appropriate for todays world. I'm sad some will miss the message because they can't get beyond musical, but I would recommend and rewatch.

Reacher (2022)
Stand Out by Maria Sten
Overall enjoyable series. Plausible and not overly complex plot line, good pacing, and interesting characters. A stand out for me was Maria Sten, as Neagly. I believed her character as a smart, well-trained special unit solider. (It bothers me when women are cast in some "bad ass" role and I just don't buy it).
There are a few holes in the last couple episodes, but nothing that detracts from the enjoyment of the series. Easy binge watch and will for sure catch the next series.

The A-Team (2010)
Is Exactly What It Should Be...& Well Cast
After watching this again, for the umpteenth time myself, with someone who had never seen it , I stand by that this movie was exceptionally well cast and done as it should be. It's fun, comical action with some twists.
Since there will clearly never be a sequel, I'll leave it as simple as above. Gave it a 9/10 because a couple parts are a little too ridiculous, but otherwise a great action flick. Always fun and Bradley Cooper is outstanding as a comedian.

The Kominsky Method (2018)
Changed Rating from 10 to 7 at S3
Exceptional show...seasons one and two.
First two seasons: Great writing, fabulous acting by all, and interesting storylines. Funny, sad, slightly political...a pot of exceptional TV show ingredients. Douglass and Arkin are gold!
Season three started terribly. And I'm referring to the entire episode character shifts, not just what happen with one character. They took good characters and made caricatures out of them. Phoebes storyline was real and she showed growth in the first two seasons. Then...they just trashed it by bringing in her goofball son and how she's behaving after the events of Episode 1 of season three. By midway through the 3rd episode of season three, I just shut it off.

How to Get Away with Murder: The Day Before He Died (2018)
Episode 14, Season 4
Laurel Sucks
What an annoying, horrible person who consistently messes things up because she thinks she knows everything. Just want her killed off. (The series is already over when I rated this but I just never want to see her on another episode).
Otherwise, great reposted and series!

One Mississippi (2015)
Another Show Found Too Late
What a fantastic representation of love in so many ways. A true "Love Actually" for today's world. Humorous, real, and completely relatable.
The chemistry of all the actors is on point. Yes, a dark comedy for sure but with an honest feeling to it. It's not spiteful or biting, the characters accept each other for who they really are and where they are at in life.
Will likely rewatch at some point.
