So after a few minutes of watching this I realized that writing wasn't the best. The description of the show was intriguing but that is where it ended.

For some unknown reason we decided that the show was going to improve, but it obviously did not occur.

First off the writers couldn't decide the theme of the show...was it a high school drama, a scary horror show, a Hallmark movie or a family drama. Well they decided on all of them and gave us a very disjointed movie. The main family of five, each seemed to have personal social issues and they were each resolved in a very sloppy manner without any decent narration. Finally, the character with the issues that needs to be resolved appeared to have been acted by a robot...she was terrible. Of course, we had to have the stiff acting cop who is the smartest police detective ever and every other cop is either inept or crooked...how surprising.

I truly do not understand how this show was trending.

I recommend avoiding at all costs.

The Jeffery Dahmer story was a very disturbing story to hear as it happened and I was hesitant to watch this series because I was resistant to relive this reality. Unfortunately for the viewers, the writers decided that dragging the story out was better than giving a concise narrative of actual events.

From my recollection, every storyline was accurately told in this series. However, I my opinion, repeatedly telling the side of the victim and their families takes away from the fact that Jeffery Dahmer was a demonic person. The victim storyline, while extremely accurate, gave the writers to attempt to show Dahmer as a sympathetic individual...which he was not.

The writers/producers at Netflix need to realize that fewer episodes with a good story is better than extra episodes with a dragged out storyline. The Dahmer story could have been told in 4 well written episodes...with better reviews.

So, I saw the trailers for Father Stu and I was skeptical of this movie. I simply couldn't see Mark Wahlberg being a priest, but we decided to give it a try.

Well the movie starts slow in the typical Hollywood vein of bad guy turning good...but it kept me interested in seeing the outcome. Thankfully I had no knowledge of Father Stu's story so I had no expectations of what was forthcoming.

The family tension within Stu's family was the typical stuff and the tension with his love interest's family was entertaining. But when we see Stu wanting to become a priest and with street smarts earnest I didn't know how the story would proceed.

Well what made the movie good for me was not knowing, so I hope you watch this film until the end and I hope you enjoy it. It's funny and emotional.
