Mr Bates vs. The Post Office
(2024)

Heartbreaking and Infuriating
We binged this series today as we found it fascinating. I read the reviews and was impressed with this story I had previously heard nothing about. The fact that these postal bureaucrats and executives obviously lied when they were aware of programming issues and falsely implicated this staggering amount of people is hard to understand or forgive. There are executives who were in charge at the time that deserve jail time for this egregious miscarriage of justice. I am glad this series is jump starting this dragged out process, but the continuing delay paints an ugly picture of British justice and government.

Five Days at Memorial
(2022)

Don't Recommend Binge Watching the First Four Episodes
You might binge watch this, but the story is very intense and you really need a break after an episode. I watched the first two together and the others separately. My comments are only on these first four. The acting is excellent. The Direction is excellent. The story is heartbreaking. Local authority is unprepared and non existent. The lack of local, state and federal assistance is criminal. A hard lesson that hopefully improved every hospital emergency plan as well as individual, family, corporate, local, state and federal emergency plans dealing with any disaster. You feel drained after watching each of the first four episodes.

Waste of time
I usually will not watch anything under a 6 rating and this was a little over that when we started watching. Either the translation to the subtitles was bad or the writing was bad. I expect both.

Yellowstone: Half the Money
(2021)
Episode 1, Season 4

The Best Program on Regular TV
I enjoyed the first three seasons and had been eagerly awaiting the fourth. The first two episodes did not disappoint. I was glad to see all the main characters return, but I was perplexed that Jamie did not have more of a part. His betrayal and relationship with his real father is the most unbelievable part but it does add a little JR to the story. He was an obvious suspect behind these ambushes and I thought that would have been explored sooner. In a typical Western fashion all of the gunmen were dispatched and disposed of, but someone who professed to have set this up was identified and will be heard from soon. This is hands down the best program on television.

NCIS: Hawai'i
(2021)

Being Generous With a 3
I wanted to like this program. It starts with bad writing and continues with an unconvincing cast. The scenery brings it up to a three.

Outer Banks
(2020)

Waste of Time
The pandemic is the only reason this survived to a season 2. Bad script does not rescue these mediocre actors.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond
(2020)

Must have been financed by a relative
This is the worst program I have seen in quite some time. It might get better in future episodes, but I don't think there will be enough people around to watch it to justify any businesses spending money on commercials. I could only watch 20 minutes of episode one. The only thing that was missing was putting on a talent show. I was expecting better.

Yellowstone
(2018)

Best Show on TV
The story line is excellent. The acting is excellent. I do not think it gets nearly the recognition it deserves as the best drama on television.

C'era una volta il West
(1968)

My Favorite Western
I have seen this movie maybe 8 times since the original release. It is a bit slow, but it is still my favorite Western. The music score is fantastic and my favorite of any movie. I think this was Charles Bronson at his best. All of the cast members were great.

Evil
(2019)

Good Television
This is the best new show of the season. It is well written and well acted.

Carol's Second Act
(2019)

Awful
The only reason to even suspect this is a comedy is the canned laughter. This program survives on the reputation of Patricia Heaton. I do not think the cast is as bad as the writing. This is junk.

A Star Is Born
(2018)

Will Win Multiple Awards
An absolutely great soundtrack adds to the excellent acting from Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott. Directing and cinematography were also excellent. Should win multiple Oscars. Absolutely the best movie I have seen this year.
