Started Bad Monkey. Looks good.
Finished it yesterday. Fun.
But...
I didn't like the deus ex machina explanation of what happened to Eve. A lot of sub-plots that end up not going anywhere, and not really adding to the story, particularly the relationship between Yancy and Rosa.
Obvious set-up for a 2nd season, should it happen.
2 ½ stars.

When is a Batman show not a Batman show?
I'm really enjoying this. I had to go back and watch The Batman for the backstory. It's more Corleone than Cobblepot.

Exactly what I objected to about Monsieur Spade. Lots of subplots obliterated in the final episode by a brand new character. Blah. Worse than a Stephen King ending.

Indeed. It had such promise, and the setting was great. Then, when the kid plot starts, it gets weird.
I was disappointed.

Started watching "The Lincoln Lawyer" today. Caught 2 episodes of Season 3.
Typical of Michael Connelly, there are a bunch of characters, some loosely related to the main plot, and some coming from previous seasons.
I really enjoyed Season 2, by the way. The twist at the end....
But what gets me is the style of the show. I find the soundtrack annoying, the extreme closeups a distraction, and the overall style has a "Suits" quality to it. Those are the downsides.
It's a shame that Netflix has the rights to Lincoln, and Amazon has Bosch. Because of copyrights and stuff, neither can cross-reference the other character (though I think there was a sub-plot in the earlier seasons of Bosch where he met his half-brother, Mickey Haller).
Still, fun.

Lincoln Lawyer S3
I enjoyed it, moderately a lot.
Good stories, good acting. However, as I said, too much of the "cool" music and directing that gets in the way of telling a compelling story. If you've ever watched "Suits" you'll know what I mean, as I said.
Kind of sad that there's no crossover between Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch. That would be kind of fun.
But I've repeated myself on both counts.
I would like something a bit less "flirty" and a bit darker.
Started "Alien: Romulus" the other day. I'm about ⅓ of the way through. So far, well done, but I doubt I'll finish, simply because it's too predictable, too heavy on action. Nevertheless the homage it pays to the original "Alien" is fun (the drinking bird, "Game over"). The sets are great, and true version of the original movie. Acting is goos, but totally forgettable.
This is one of those, "Yeah, I saw it, and enjoyed it. BUt...I don't remember much of it."

Also the guy who played Joe Pickett.
I enjoyed Dorman in "Patriot." Kind of weird, but fun.
Pickett's been cancelled, from what I hear. I enjoyed it.
I did too. Good characters and stories.

I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine on a plane. A bit embarrassing as I LOL’d more than once and may also have snorted.

Yes, it was hilarious.
