The Bite (2021)
It stinks!
I don't know who the twit was at CBS that gave this show a green light, but I do know this show stinks in the worst possible way. It's like one of those cheap amateur productions that splurged on great looking sets and lighting but forgot to spend decent money on good script writing. It's not funny, the story line is juvenile, the acting ho hum and you have to wonder why anyone would waste their time creating this abomination.
The Stand (2020)
Jumbled up mess
If the first episode is anything to go by, this is pretty much a jumbled up mess. I don't know if the editor(s) were high on something when they created this but unless you saw the original version of The Stand starring Gary Sinise, it would be very difficult to understand what is going on or to even care. The acting is flat and character development is non existent since the story jumps back and forth in time every two minutes. Maybe if somebody comes back and re-edits it into a straight linear story it might make sense, but until that is done, there is not much hope for this disaster.
Fat Fiction (2020)
A documentary that nails the obesity problem.
Fat Fiction explains, in detail, how money from big food companies and big pharma has been used to steer us away from healthy eating. Their goals have been to increase profits but they are doing it at the risk of us having a heart attack or developing diabetes and becoming obese. We have substituted high carbs food for more healthy food and the food industry is behind the whole idea. This documentary shows you how they did it and the faulty studies that made us believe the lies.
Den blomstertid nu kommer (2018)
Interesting story and interesting characters
This rather amazing story starts slow and gradually builds to an unexpected ending (assuming a sequel is not made). For once, the characters are real, flawed and they don't do the politically correct thing. It is first and foremost about the relationship between a father and son, their failure to understand each other and how they fail to communicate their real feelings. The son becomes much like his father without realizing it. The story is set against a mysterious attack on Sweden and the strange things that seem to follow. This is a first class movie with high production values. It is well worth your time to watch. I recommend it.
Queens of Mystery (2019)
Not near as good as it could be
This series might have been really good if they had not tried to make it a comedy drama. There is really nothing particularly funny about it. The drama could have been a bit more serious. The voice over narration gets to be very annoying after the first five minutes and you keep wondering when they are going to get on the with the plot. This has all the bones for a really good mystery series but they simply miss the boat with the phony effort at trying to be witty. If there is a second season, the writers should drop the comedy act and get serious about writing really good mysteries.
Deadly Class (2018)
Bad series, terrible sound quality
It does make you wonder why the SyFy channel would waste its time and money on a really bad TV series like this. It is full of cliche bad guys, amoral characters and childish script writing. The story line is laughable and implausible. Worse, production values are poor at best. Poor lighting is obvious from the start and sound quality is just terrible. It is very hard to understand what anyone is saying. Nothing can be done to save this sorry excuse of juvenile delinquents encouraged and educated to be even worse than they are. Skip the series and find something else to watch.
