The Blacklist: Hannah Hayes (No. 125) (2019) Season 7, Episode 7

WTF was this????

[2/10 · 25 March 2024]

I have Been entertainer by this show from the start. Yes there were some ridiculous episodes here and there, but that´s how it is with shows that has this many episodes per season. Its tolerable. With that Said, Season 7 has Been a very Poor season so far. This episode was just rubbish.

So here are my 2 cents so far with this season...

1. Katarina Rostova character and actress SUCK!!!! Absolutely can´t stand her! (Lotte Verbeek who played the Younger Version is small/petite. So in her older Days she grown taller?!) 2. Absolutely hate agent Park! What an annoying and dislikable character from the very start of her scene introduction. Kill her off please!

3. The girl they cast as Agnes(no hate to the actress) is miscast in my opinion. When Agnes was a baby, she has Blue eyes. And the older Agnes has Brown eyes. 2 blue eyed parents usually get a bule eyed baby.

Lioness (2023– )

Not what I thought

[5/10 · 8 December 2023]

I have Been putting off watching this, but finally had to cave because there was nothing else to Watch.

One of the reason for putting it off is brcause of Nicole Kidman. Can´t stand her!! I really dont see the appeal in her at all! Throughout this whole series she looked so stiff, too much botox that inhibited her face from expressions.

Zoe Saladana did an OK Job, not her biggest fan though.

WHY did they need to put in an absolute pointless angry teenager?? Did´nt do anything for the storyline at all! Such a waste of time, irritation and bloodpressure: I really hate when they do this!!

The rest of the cast did an ok Job with what they were given.

Justified: City Primeval (2023)

Actually disappointed

[4/10 · 17 September 2023]

The original series tas much better! My issues with this series are, like many of the other reviews I agree that the daughter-character was unnecessary and annoying. Did´nt add anything remotely interesting to the storyline.

Secondly the "love" interest was a rather awkward choice. No chemistry and felt forced. They could´ve cast someone more attractive then they did.

And thirdly I felt there wasn´nt much Raylan screentime but everybody else was in focus.

If this is given a season 2 (since they ended with Linda of a cliffhanger) I probably will have it on as background noise. But hope they wont waste the money for a season 2.

Major Crimes (2012–2018)

Could´ve been great but....

[5/10 · 22 July 2023]

As many other I came from watching The Closer which was brilliant! And Major Crimes could´ve been great except from Rusty & DDA Rios!!! OMG what annoying characters!! They are not likeable at all! As I have read through other reviews, I see I´m not alone hating on whiney Rusty! Everytime DDA E Rios(Nadine Velazquez) is on, she ruins the whole show for me! Brings nothing to the storylines! All the original cast from The Closer are Great! The casting was perfect! And I´m currently only on season 2(!) It´s too bad the writers on this show could´nt keep up the great writing from the Closer... As I said, could´ve been great....

The Rookie (2018– )

Good stories about everyone but the rookie

[5/10 · 26 April 2022]

The show started out good for seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 got too woke and political... and season 4 has improved a little but don't get me started on the character of Bailey Noonan (Fillions characters girlfriend) Lack of chemistry and credibility of all the things this woman is supposed to be ( firefighter, national reserve etc) is too stupid. This actress (Jenna Dewan) can't act to save her life! Absolutely hate her!

Fillions acting is nothing new. He's the same persona in most of his work. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved his character and show Castle!

The storylines and acting of the supporting actor are so much better.

And they keep inviting really unlikable guest stars in very implausible roles! Like Niecy Nash! Jeez she is so annoying! The 2 episodes she was in were really excruciating to watch! This is what ruins the show for me!

Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)

Well....

[4/10 · 20 April 2022]

I had higher hopes for this, but sadly it wasn't.

The writing and acting was meh.. they tried too hard to make it good. I bet the book is much better.

I think it would've sufficed with 4 episodes rather then 6.

The casting of the younger version of M. Dockery, was a miss. She was short when she was at uni, but suddenly has grown quite tall as a grown up. It might just be me nitpicking but details matter!

Young Wallander (2020–2022)

Would've been better in Swedish

[5/10 · 18 February 2022]

The series is in typical Swedish noir genre. I like these kind of series and I this was good, but would've been so much better if it was in Swedish though. That's just my 2 cents.

Rules of the Game (2022)

So disappointed...

[3/10 · 15 January 2022]

I really tried to like it, but it just became background noise... none of the characters are really likeable.

The acting was so so 😕 The two that portrayed the investigators are so not believable at all! They didn't even have to open their mouth to see that they weren't right for the part!

The storyline was flimsy and a waste of time.

Gåsmamman (2015–2022)

It was a good show...

[5/10 · 25 September 2021]

I watched all through season 4 and started 1st episode of season 5, but stopped halfway through it.

It just became too stupid and I fell completely off!

Season 1 was decent enough to move on to season 2. Season 3 was ok as well as season 4... It's repetitive and predictable.

SPOILER!!!

Taking on the new role as a head of top criminal organisation, you would think that they would be more professional and smooth. But sadly no!

All the "rookie" mistakes they make already in the 1st episode is just annoying and not believable, so I couldn't watch anymore!

Sorry but they should've stopped at season 4.

Nova Vita (2021– )

It had so much potential...

[3/10 · 22 August 2021]

It could've been good but poor acting and poorly executed!

I could go on but already wasted enough of my time on this.

The Five (2016)

Good show...

[5/10 · 30 July 2021]

I have read a few of Harlan Coben's books and enjoyed them!

I love English crime series! And this was a good one as well!

The one negative thing I can put my finger on is, the actor who played Stuart Carew (Jonathan Kerrigan)... can't do an American accent!! I literally cringed every time he appeared!!! Sorry but he was absolutely horrible!

Thank goodness he wasn't a prominent character on the show!

SAS: Red Notice (2021)

Stop casting Ruby Rose!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4/10 · 23 July 2021]

I didn't have high expectations for this movie and guess what? It didn't' deliver. I normally love action movies and don't expect Oscar performances. It's entertainment. But this was just nope...

There were no chemistry between Sam Heughan and Hannah J Kamen at all. Not a believable pair.

Ruby Rose can't act if her life depended on it!

I don't understand why she gets cast in anything!

She is a really really horrible actress!!!!!

A Million Little Things (2018–2023)

Why??

[1/10 · 17 May 2021]

The beginning of the show was good and then it started to be gradually more annoying!! Who do these writers think they are, to shove this political bs down the viewers throats?! George Floyd !! Really??!

So done with this show!

Professionals (2020–2022)

Really??

[1/10 · 23 November 2020]

Wow!! The idea was good but the execution is really poor on all levels! Very cringeworthy to watch... so if you value your time steer clear of this disaster!

Spenser Confidential (2020)

Entertaining 😃

[7/10 · 22 March 2020]

I love a good action movie! I like Wahlberg, I know what to expect if I see his name. Take it for what it is, a action/entertaining movie. And stop bit**'in about it's this and that! It's entertainment 😃

Liar (2017–2020)

Yes, but no 😕

[2/10 · 20 March 2020]

Sounded interesting, so I took a look It started promising, but after 2 episodes It went downhill fast. The main character, Laura, is so god damn annoying. Like nails on a chalkboard. Oh my word, this woman rubs me the wrong way. I like English crime shows, so I stuck it out hoping it would get better. So I'm in 2 episodes of the 2nd season. So far it's better, with a new lead detective. She kicks 😄. So now I have to see how it ends

Hunter Killer (2018)

Entertainment plain and simple!!

[6/10 · 27 January 2019]

I think we all know no one did this movie to compete for the Oscars 😄 This is an entertaining movie! You go see this movie for the action and entertainment! The actors in this did their job well! Jeez all you negative reviewers need to tale a chill-pill 😃 not everything is political and need to be taken so serious! Entertainment plain and simple!!

Valor (2017–2018)

WoW!!!

[1/10 · 2 November 2017]

Where to begin? This is one of the worst TV-shows I've watched! No chemistry between the characters,looks forced and mechanic.... TotallyNOT believable Only watched the first episode! Not a great first impression! This is 45 min I can't get back :( I wouldn't recommend to watch this
