Tyler Perry's Ruthless (2020)
SpecialEFX 8 points 3 years ago*.

Tyler Perry’s writing is absolute shite. Everything I’ve seen so far seems like a “film school” experiment. How TF is this man so successful when his shows are such crap? Case in point the abysmal Too Close To Home. Clearly his demographic audience can’t be this gullible. Madea may have put him on the map but since creating his own studio and production company he’s proven it’s quantity over quality and it shows.

What a great show. Absolutely love seeing each potter’s creativity come to life in clay.

You’re terrible Muriel!
and by terrible I mean Toni Collette is a masterful actress!

I love Katey Sagal but another run of the mill network tv lawyer show? No thank you. Guess she needs the money to pay for her hubby’s failed shows.
She deserves better.

Kurt Sutter is a lot more successful than you give him credit for. Aside from The Bastard Executioner, he seems to have had a pretty good run with Sons Of Anarchy, Mayans M.C., The Shield and his film Southpaw. I agree though, Katey Segal does deserve much better projects than what network television has to offer.

The Umbrella Academy (2019)

Ellen Page’s receding hairline is very distracting this season.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (2015)
SpecialEFX 3 points 3 years ago*.

These hosts are more irritating and cringe-worthy than Ant and Dec. Her jokes are so juvenile and poorly delivered. I could poke Julia Morris right in the eyes! C U Next Tuesday, Biatch!

Billions (2016) S6 E1

Not quite the same without Damian Lewis. Will be interesting to see if Corey Stoll can pull off the lead roll this season.

I’m surprised that they just didn’t toss those pompous guests off the side of the boat

SpecialEFX 4 points 3 years ago*.

Blech! A horrible excuse for a human being. I don’t know why Bravo gave these miscreants 3 episodes. They actually deserve their gold digging boyfriends!
Bleed ‘em dry boys!

Landscapers (2021)

Fantastic way of presenting this biography. Susan and Christopher Edwards fascination with Hollywood films are intricately woven into the story! The production, acting, sets, and story telling were top notch.

Saturday Night Live (1975) S47 E6

I can’t for the life of me understand the infatuation with Taylor Swift. She can’t sing in-tune live to save her life. Nothing but an over produced fraud.

The Masked Dancer (2020)
SpecialEFX 3 points 3 years ago.

Talentless dancers being critiqued by D-list talent. “Ain’t nobody got time fa dat.” If you enjoy a good train wreck… have at it!

the Rudy Giuliani reference was just as hilarious as the real thing

Mum (2016)
SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago.

Aside from Cathy and Michael the characters are rather annoying. Someone needs to dropkick Pauline in the fanny.

The Crown (2016)
SpecialEFX 2 points 5 months ago.

I’m really starting to believe Harry and his side to the story behind this horribly dysfunctional family and the whole British monarchy. Granted this is an interpretation of their story and lots of dramatic liberty has gone into the writing but seeing how cold and calculated the Queen and Prince Phillip were makes me wonder if he’s been right all along.

In for a Penny (2019)
SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago.

This show is a perfect example why there is absolutely nothing funny about Stephen Mulhern except his belief that he is actually funny.

The New Look (2024)
SpecialEFX 2 points 9 days ago*.

I found this very boring and tedious to watch, especially that fake accent from John Malkovich and his “phoned in” performance or lack thereof.

The Celebrity Dating Game (2021)
SpecialEFX 2 points 2 years ago*.

Wow, that’s a lot of “celebrities” desperate to stay current and in the public eye. If your thirst to remain relevant is the goal, then volunteer rebuilding houses for people less fortunate than you. This show reminds me of the old jello molds of the 50’s and 60’s….
make it once for a laugh, but no one will want to see it again!

How can you be a CIA agent and NOT know you have a tracking device on you? I would think that’s the first thing you sort out BEFORE taking one step out of your house!

OMG Franks Rosey Grier comment broke me!

Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler (2019)
SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This is a great prequel to the Batman story. Never really thought much about Alfred Pennyworth’s (Jack Bannon) back story but this series has really caught my attention. This truly is a stellar cast. Paloma Faith is one crazy psychopath! Ryan Fletcher playing “Dave Boy” is also great casting!

True Detective (2014) S4 E3
Piglet 1 points 3 months ago.

As I was watching the opening credits, I noticed that Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are executive producers. So, I assume this was for the 1st season or have they been executive producers for all 4 seasons? Oh, Jodie Foster is an executive producer for this current season.

SpecialEFX 2 points 3 months ago.

Try Google and IMDb….. Great resources for the answers to many questions about the entertainment industry.

Tyler Perry's Ruthless (2020)
Arcangel2020 1 points 3 years ago.

Everything you wrote is spot on and I agree 100%.
Although I did happen to like the movie “Alex Cross” that came out several years ago…it was a failed attempt to re-start/re-boot the Alex Cross franchise which Morgan Freeman was in and played an older version of Detective Cross back in the 90ies era

SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago*.

I applaud Tyler for having/creating the ability to hire so many actors of color. Yes there has been a huge gap in the visibility of many fine actors of color in film and television. It’s the quality of writing, production and acting that is weak. It’s all flash and no substance. His projects remind me of a MacDonald’s commercial that makes your mouth water and crave a Big Mac… but it never looks as good in person as it does on t.v.

FFS!! How many wanks under the covers does it take to realize the chic is a skank and you are a man whore?

The Traitors (2022)
SpecialEFX 2 points 7 months ago.

Traitors is the best reality show with a final man standing walking away with all the money. It’s a shame there isn’t a Reunion show after the finale. I would love to hear the reactions of the cast to the final outcome.

Arisa Cox is so brave with her fashion choices :) Congratulations to the winner.

Lessons in Chemistry (2023)
SpecialEFX 2 points 6 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

6:30 is freaking adorable. His voiceovers add a refreshingly different dimension to the story as well. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes to drop.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E1

Last season who set up the Waterfords to be captured at the Canadian border? Didn’t get the chance to rewatch the last season. And why was the husband made with his wife?

SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

It has everything to do with Serena and Mark Tuello’s meetings. He lured them across the border where they were arrested for War Crimes.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht (2020) S2 E4
SpecialEFX 2 points 3 years ago*.

Another episode of Poofters Gone Wild. These are the type of people that give the LGBT community a bad rap. Barry is the stereotype of a bitchy, gay fame whore. Get over yourself dude. The world doesn’t revolve around your rainbow unicorn! I give that May–December relationship 5 years tops.

Love Island (2019) S5 E3
SpecialEFX 2 points 9 months ago.

I can’t believe how juvenile, vacuous, and petty these people are…… but it’s a train wreak I just can’t stop watching. It’s quite entertaining watching people make complete fools of themselves on national television.

Your Honor (2020) S1 E10
SpecialEFX 1 points 3 years ago*.

That was the best ending I could have hoped for this shite show. Luckily it’s only a mini-series and hopefully won’t be getting a second season! If I’m being honest the writers should have taken that bullet. Way too many improbable scenarios throughout the entire series for it to be taken seriously. I’m just so glad it’s f*cking over. Regardless of the horrendous writing I do believe Bryan Cranston deserves his Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor.

When you wear a bikini top emblazoned with a politicians name and then claim you’re not making a political statement is the clear definition of being delusional. The only thing missing in this wacko group is Caitlyn Jenner.

My favorite episode ending so far this season. All because he wouldn’t lick some chocolate. Good riddance.

Finally, I won’t have to hear that whiny, hypocritical, ungrateful bitch ever again!! Byyyyeeee! Couldn’t be happier with the Final three teams. I’m rooting for all 3 as each team deserves the win!

America's Got Talent: Extreme (2022)
SpecialEFX 1 points 2 years ago.

WOW! AGT winners receive 1 million dollars, for singing, dancing, telling jokes, etc. Even one for simply reciting his poetry. lol These people are actually risking their lives for just half that. I guess that’s part of what they mean by “Extreme” as in an extremely unfair pay gap!

Animal Kingdom (2016)
SpecialEFX 1 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I really miss Smurf and her baked lasagnas. As for Pope, I wish they followed the films storyline and wrote him off in season one. His character is annoying and Shawn Hatosy’s portrayal of Pope is even more annoying.

Below Deck Down Under (2022) S2 E9
SpecialEFX 1 points 8 months ago.

I thought Joao, aka Jezabob got sober after his last stint on Below Deck 5 years ago. NOW he looks like he’s throwing back margaritas with the rest of the crew. Could be a virgin Margarita. Hope so because he is a really horrible drunk.

Wha, wha, wha! Whine, whine, whine. Fake tears, fake lips, fake boobs. FAKE PEOPLE!!! It’s even worse than the British version.

It’s a shame this cinematic masterpiece derailed Elizabeth Berkley’s career because she’s such a great actress. (eye roll)

Really Nella??? Another big abw playing the victim card. Shite at that trial too. Hopefully she doesn’t last long.

Abbott Elementary (2021)

This show is hysterical. I love every character but Janelle James as principal Ava is amazingly funny. The whole cast deserves every Emmy nomination they get.

Just as They spun around in that negligee I knew it was time for Them to go. These past few years seems like is just an audition reel to boost everyone’s TV careers after Big Brother.

Really liked this show. So bummed this was cancelled.

Sometimes the Brits can be very funny. This is NOT one of those moments.
