Treason (2022)
Can't even get through the first few episodes.
There isn't a single plot line that is understandable, and the wife's behavior, like hundreds of other reviewers have pointed out is complete crap. Not even slightly believable. You're married to someone who has a job where they have to keep secret for your whole life, then all of a sudden, you can't trust tour husband umm, why, because he's not telling you about his job, you know, just like he didn't for the last 15 years or so... what do you do? You commit treason, risk your husband's life and career, oh, and yes, you risk your daughter's life. Yep, that's what all mothers would do.
What astounds me, is that so many people read this script, I can't beleive for a minute that NO ONE had the same thought process, NO ONE at Netflix could figure out that this is so insulting. I've been a Netflix customer since getting discs in the mail... but at this rate, they seem to really be missing on the content... they spend the money, but their shows are horrible. They either push an agenda or just can't create a solid story. Can a 4B company fall apart and disappear. I think we may watch this. Real shame since shows like this could so easily have been good.
Suspicion (2022)
10 minutes in and just can't believe how poor it is
Once the police arrest 4 citizens with NO cause, NO evidence whatsoever, I'm done. Another horrible piece of crap from Apple. Maybe Apple should stick to making cell phones. I'm done with this, and done with AppleTV.
Reacher (2022)
Big fan, have all the books, this was most annoying TV show I've ever watched
I'm only half way through first episode, and it is so ridiculous, so unrealistic, so insulting to the viewer that I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to finish. One correct thing, they have a larger person playing Reacher, and yes, Cruise playing Reacher was an insult to all of Child's fans. But, following the book so closing and having the police do ridiculous, and ILLEGAL things is childish. I feel like this production is just a joke. Nick Santora should be embarrassed, if I was him, I'd change my name and move out of the country.
StartUp (2016)
Writers who obviously know ZERO about digital currency and the investment world
This show had such potential, but just falls completely flat when it insults the viewers. The ridiculous lack of any structure or plan when they get investors is just childish, and in today's world far more than a 3rd of your audience obviously knows more about digital currency/blockchain than the writers. The entire concept of the theft of their funds by a crooked cop who hires a freelancer feels like it was written back in the 90's. Really just sad and pathetic. I want my time back watching these first episodes.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Agree with other reviewers, depressing and too much stolen from BBC content.
But, that's not why I stopped watching. When Mare, commits a felony, it's obvious the writers think this is acceptable. Personally, I find it disgusting to be so indifferent about a crooked police officer. If I were to continue watching it would be to see Mare put in prison, but I know it isn't going there. For the writers to put the drug planting in the storyline just tells me that I have no further interest in what they have to say. It's obvious to me that this show will continue to have major plot holes like this, it will become even less believable, until it fails completely.
Let Him Go (2020)
Ridiculously horrible movie!
I love both performers, but they didn't bring their A game to this movie. Hopefully they were just constrained by a ridiculously unbelievable plot where the Ex Lawman doesn't act like a Lawman, the loving wife doesn't give a darn about her husband, and 5 people can break into a hotel room assault someone cut off their fingers and it's self defense. What a joke. This is an insult to your viewers and just shows lazy writing. This is what a professional writer comes up with? Assault them on the side of a road, attackers can wear masks so they can't identified, that could fly, but don't have a policeman say, "hey they said they broke into your hotel room and had you five to two, but had to cut your hand off in self defense, you know how the law is" I couldn't even bother to watch the rest of this slow moving insult. Watching Costner play like a half dead guy just added to the torment. One of the few movies I paid for, and won't even brother to finish.
Spontaneous (2020)
Had such potential, went nowhere
The entire plot and story line lost it's way. After watching the movie you're left wondering not only what you watched, but why.
Undercover Billionaire (2019)
100% Hands down worst show, and worst concept I've ever seen
What complete garbage, and complete fraud. There isn't a single real minute in this show. The core message of the show is insulting and hurtful. The supposedly successful business experts... what a joke. Hucksters and coat riders, and NON billionaires. So sad what entertainment has become.
Disturbing the Peace (2020)
Couldn't get past the first 5 minutes
What utterly ridiculously insulting garage. 2 bikers come into town and commit a felony and it's treated like they littered. 'You better leave'. Done. Seriously, if the plot can't move beyond a 14 year old's imagination, they GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS. The bikers are all just waiting around outside of town to rampage for no reason except they are just evil bikers.... snooze. Seriously, author couldn't come up with some reason that they were pissed off at the town, some even remotely logical reason to justify this story even 5 minutes in. Snooze. Off, move on to another move.
Shithouse (2020)
Hopefully I'm too old...
But my GAWD is college kids were this pathetic in my time, our country wouldn't be here. An 18 year old man crying about missing his family? Seriously? He crushes on a girl, we see her interested, looking up all they discussed, but then 2.5 years go by. Neither of them had any meaningful connections in 2.5 years of college?? He makes 3 friends his freshman year and it's still the same 3 in his last year? Seriously, I really feel badly for this producer/writer/actor since I have to assume his personal experience was similar? The movie just didn't connect with me, didn't seem realistic.
News of the World (2020)
Best movie I've seen in a while!
People looking for more obvious 'bonding' between the Captain and the girl didn't catch the under current. It was a slow process because of what they both had to work through, horrific life lose that most of us today can't even imagine. Hanks and Zengel did great work!
The Runners (2020)
Frustratingly bad
Wow, I'm always at a loss when I watch a movie and it's obvious that the director and or writer had NO intelligent friends that could just point out the utterly stupid and unrealistic story line. Bad guy leaves brother a live... um, why? Of course, brother won't remember where the bar is so the police will never be there?, oh maybe they're just leaving it behind since selling two girls into white slavery much pay so much more than owning the strip club right? On what planet? Then brother has proof, a photo, calls in the FBI right? No, of course not.
See, tight about this point, I want to see the brother killed and the spoilt sister raped and brutalized. If you create stupid heros in your story, then we will NOT cheer for them, we just don't care anymore. But don't worry, the audience is supposed to just be stupid, it doesn't matter if the story seems idiotic, unrealistic, would never happen in a 1000 year! Yeah, we have a strip club, a CARTEL making hundreds of millions a month, and we'll risk it all for a couple girls! SNOOZE! If a writer or director doesn't have either enough intelligence to male a plausible plot, then why should a viewer watch it? If you're going to spit in our face, and have no self pride, then we're just not interested.
Swing Low (2019)
One of the worst movies I've never finished
The plot and writing are just insulting to viewers, another movie I didn't even bother to finish. When you create a hero in your story only to have them do utterly unrealistic and stupid things to just advance a poor plot, you're not only spitting in your viewer's face, you're trashing your own career and industry. This movie is a INSULT to film production.
A Feral World (2020)
Suck potential, some things so good...
Biggest problem is that the story seemed like it was written by kids. Plot holes the size of a mack truck! They could have just killed Jasper at any time, which made the entire plot of the movie an insult to the viewers, and a waste of time. If you're going to take years to make a movie and you're that dedicated, why the hell didn't you just have someone read your script and tell you where the story was going off the rails? Seriously these producers and directors had NO FRIENDS? The actors had NO OPINIONS? Camera operators didn't even speak up? It was painful watching after the half way point. Honestly, I think this site should stop anyone involved in the move from leaving reviews so that there is a more honest rating.
Star-Crossed (2014)
So embarrassed for this director and the writers.
Seriously, how can all these professionals not even be able to do simple math? 4 year old, plus 10 years makes a 14 year old. The story is supposed to be about a group of high school students? But you cast a dozen people in their 30's? They didn't even try to find actors that looked young, they ALL look like their in their 30's. The plot line has holes the size of a Mack Truck... it so embarrassing for the people that worked on this project. The extreme shame is that with just a little effort, it could have had some potential.
Vengeance: A Love Story (2017)
One of the worst movie I couldn't bother to complete.
The ridiculous portrayal of the legal system obviously written by someone with complete ignorance if the concept of eye witnesses and DNA evidence is just so insulting to the viewer that I could even continue watching. How does an actor of Cage's level not have input into a script? How does he not read the script, realize that it is insulting and childish and threaten to walk away if not fixed. This movie is an embarrassment to all involved.
The Widow (2019)
A ridiculous plot that ruins the entire series at the end
It was ok to watch, I'd give it about a 7, but the entire series rests on the fact that the husband is such a pathetic wimp that he pretends he's dead and abandons his wife. Seriously, it's like the writers couldn't come up with anything better. Ridiculous. If I was Kate, I'd put a bullet in his head. The writers want everyone to believe that Kate and all of us viewers have just forgotten that good people died because of his behavior, that his buddy tried to kill her... 100% garbage. Sure they through it in a line when she's jealous and angry. I want my 8 hours back!
Stranded (2014)
Huge plot issue
The entire story rests on the fact that the younger brother was killed and he revenges his killing... problem is they wrote the younger brother as a complete pieces jerk that I for one was happy to see killed. They made the whole family come across as a bunch of pathetic, obnoxious losers. I got the impression that the writers had absolutely NO IDEA how to connect with an audience. Out of curiosity, I'm going to have to look up the writers to see if they've actually done anything of merit.
End result, about 10 minutes into the movie I lost ALL interest in the story. Paid for the movie and didn't even bother to watch rest of it. Last time I did this was years ago.
