Full Circle (2023)
I love Guyana and the idea of seeing more of it. But with 100% less of this show.
The United States of you-know-where has prospected over 66 billion barrels of oil off the coast/in the jungles of Guyana. What's Guyana? A country with a DISPUTED, non-existent border to Venezuela. The same currently destabilized by you-know-who oil rich Venezuela.... And now it's time to be subtly introduced to the second poorest country in South America, because they're planning to go in and turn it (but not its people) into one of the richest countries in the world. Swell eh?
So SHOEHORN Guyana (a country the US ignored for decades following the Jonestown Massacre) into TV shows, one liner references in comedy, movies and media, so EVERYONE KNOWS it like a household name and not a final resting place.
I know a lot of Guyanese people and I couldn't watch this at all. BECAUSE these "actors" have the WORST ACCENTS I've ever heard!!!! Ever watch something with Welsh, Russians, Asians or Aussies in it? People with thick accents AND slang specific to their culture? Was it hard to follow? Great! Then it was most likely real. Was it easy to understand them while they used slang you know, but did it with cute sounding voices? Boo-urns! It was dumbed down, watered down and down with the syndrome of silliness.
The scenery is great! If you love the kind of brown water that this country on the Northern coast of south America has to offer lol! And if you watch it with the volume off.
The whole thing is an excuse in frivolity for the sake of introducing you to a country that's about to be (further) corrupted by oil exploration and exploitation.
Luda Can't Cook (2021)
Ludacris In A Cooking Competition, But He's The Only Contestant
The best part of any reality show for me is the unscripted bits. Probably because they're real.
This funny, heartwarming, spicy shows's key demographic is probably ladies Luda's mom's age and anyone who listened to his music since the 90s.
Lots of culinarily knowledge fun guests, fascinating food facts, historical bites, cultural samplings and scenery. It's not *too* cheesy. I'd watch this for the cooking tips alone.
Plus Luda's personal brand of WHOO! He might "act" like he doesn't know people don't eat onion skins, or "forget" about the chicken in a smoker but he DOES make an effort to *really* cook and he's got some tasty ideas eh!
(Or the tv crew/producers do 😄)
Cherry on top: if you're lucky you'll see his mom serving some *serious* side eye, RAW.
