Splitting Up Together
(2018)

Wasted Potential
I understand the premise that these 2 divorcees fall back in love because of their divorce however, I feel this doesn't do the topic of divorce justice. Instead of showcasing a familial dynamic of a healthy divorced couple with the divorcees finding love in others while still caring for their children, the show centers on the idea that divorced couples can get back together and that all they need is 'perspective'. While this may be true for some divorced couples this is not the truth for the majority. It may also cause some younger viewers to believe that their parents could get back together. That being said, I only give this a 5 star review because of the wasted potential but, it is a decent comedy with some laughs.

Escape the Night
(2016)

Simply Mediocre
Extremely cringe worthy.

While some would argue that the nature of unscripted shows is to give the actors more creative freedom and genuine reactions often times it comes across as larping being taken too seriously. Furthermore, the roles that were given to each character (acknowledging the fact that it was simply done for comedic purposes) do not match characters. This becomes more apparent when specific actors will take their roles very seriously and with a combination of clunky dialogue it leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. The whole time I watched it, I cringed. Fans of the creators may like it but, its not my cup of tea.
