    WOMAN OF THE HOUR: 8/10

    Good movie based on the true story of a serial killer who kills women and actually went on the game show known as the dating game.

    This was a very good movie, I thought the acting, story and dialogue were all very well done. In fact I was surprised this was a Netflix production due to the high quality.

    A friend forced this on me and I was glad he did. I think it's the kind of movie anyone would enjoy and get caught up in.


    ADOLESCENCE: 7.5/10

    This was a 4 episode miniseries. Stephen Graham played the father of a 13 year old boy accused of murdering a female classmate. He wasn't in it very much until the final episode where his acting chops and range were finally put on display and he did not disappoint.

    The show was a good drama but not something you'd want to rewatch. I believe there was an issue with the time as this was probably too long to be a movie yet too short to be a real miniseries because there were quite a few times you could tell they were trying to add minutes to this story. They'd walk you through unnecessary sequences such as them showing the police fingerprint the kid. That doesn't seem strange but showing them hit all ten fingers? Seems a bit unnecessary to me.

    A show about a set of towels? That doesn't sound very interesting unless there are lots of sets in different colors and materials.

    The embroidery piqued my interest

    Looks like another woke production where Hollywood continues to feel the need to put females in the lead roles simply for the sake of pandering.

    Its based on a book so apparently the author felt the need to further that agenda despite any promise of it getting picked up as a series for netflix. You're an amusing lad tho!

    Bam! Got me! Lol. Still that doesn't change the fact Hollywood feels the need to constantly put females in lead roles, race swap characters for no reason and constantly shove gay characters in almost every show too.

    Actually though, it's not for nothing. The fact is movies that don't do some of these things won't be allowed to win an Academy award.

    Personally the DEI stuff wouldn't be so bad if it hadn't also infected the writing, director and other behind the scenes hires.

    The movies are so bad today you can see it in the trailers and the writers, actors and studio heads are so egotistical they blame the fans and call the fans toxic and racist all because the fans didn't watch their movie. It's ridiculous.

    Did you know Yellowstone, 1923, and 1883 are all on Netflix? You'll need a VPN to watch them though.

    I found them by accident: I was rewatching The Hateful 8 but didn't finish it. A few days later when I tried to finish it, it had been removed. So through my VPN I started checking Netflix in other countries and I found it in Germany. That's also where I found Yellowstone and them.

    Nah. I haven't heard much about that one. I haven't even started any of those 3 series I mentioned.

    I did watch season 1 of Barry and Banshe and thought they were decent enough but not good enough for me to do follow up seasons on.
