This show is trying to be the next Surviving R. Kelly, and though some of the revelations are shocking (I'm thinking of the incidents involving the bunnies who worked in the clubs - some awful stuff there), in general the women involved, like Holly, were adults who should have known what they were getting into. You don't move into a notorious sexual predator's mansion and accept all manner of gifts and money without knowing that something is expected in return. I'm not excusing HH's behavior, it was appalling, but these were not economically disadvantaged, often underage young girls recruited from the surrounding neighborhoods, as in the case of R. Kelly and the girls he abused. There really is no comparison.

I have been dutifully watching CSI: Vegas from the first episode. I wanted to give it a chance because I loved the original CSI and I thought it would be great to see some of those old, beloved characters. Well, it is great to see them. The problem is with the new characters. I have no problem with the multicultural aspect of the cast - it makes sense that in a forensics lab in 2021 Las Vegas, there would be people of various races and ethnicities. I don't mind the "wokeness" - but what I do mind is lousy acting by people who have zero charisma. I've found myself fast forwarding through all parts that aren't directly Grissom/Sara/Hodges/Brass related. The original show had an ensemble cast with each character so well drawn, so complex and not always likable, but interesting - these people are boring and one dimensional. And as for the will they/won't they dynamic involving the two main CSIs - who cares??? (I will say that I don't mind the head of the lab - she's alright but she isn't enough to make this show worth watching, IMHO).

This has got to be one of the most hysterically funny comedies on TV. Just as funny as the movie, which is a rarity. For that half hour or so that I'm watching this, I forget all my troubles, it's that indescribably hilarious. I can't decide who is the funniest, everyone is a star. (But Colin Robinson belly dancing for Nandor's ascension day celebration - well, don't get me started. And every time Laszlo says the F word I absolutely lose it. He's a comedy genius).
