I enjoy true crime, and this show is not an exception. The content and interviews are interesting, albeit sometimes repetitive. My biggest issue, is that like once every two minutes or so, there's a black screen with important information that's just text, with no audio. So, basically, if you're on your phone, cleaning, or doing anything other than looking at the television screen constantly, you'll miss information. Why they do this, is beyond me. It doesn't add anything dramatic, it doesn't make you want to watch the show, and it is nothing but annoying. Pass this one by for the multitude of similar shows out there that don't try to force your eyes to the screen every few minutes.

I'm a Madonna fan, although not hugely so. What really makes this movie fun, is seeing Griffen Dunne in such a fun role. His character is charming, sweet, and quite sexy. Madonna is typical, not winning any awards for acting, but this movie fits her better than other roles that she had in this time period. She's playful, a little conniving, and clumsily sexy. The plot is fairly predictable, but not too dumb to enjoy. Plenty of late 80s style rounds out a generally cute movie that doesn't challenge your brain or ethics to any degree without being too ridiculous to enjoy over and over. It's no Citizen Cane, but it's not forgettable, either.

The actors just feel so far removed, both in looks and movements, from their suject characters. They just don't really look anything like any of the real people, and the acting feels so forced, it's hard to believe and get through. The FDR character, especially, looks absolutely nothing like Franklin Roosevelt. He doesn't sound out move like him. I'm sure he's a good actor, that's not it, it's just the wrong role for him. The same is true of Elanore and Teddy Roosevelt. It's a distraction to try to force believing it could be them.

Still, I finished it and enjoyed the actual documentary parts.

This show highlights generational differences in such a fun and sharp way. I adore this comedy on every level. It's smart, tender, edgy, and hilarious.

Jean Smart really shows her versatility and Hannah Einbinder is a delight. The themes are relevant without being corny. Most episodes are that rare blend of both comedy and true heart and soul.

The aesthetic is also truly enjoyable. So many great outfits, rooms, and areas to keep the eyes just as engaged as the mind.

This show also takes current events and issues and shows how both younger and mature generations can learn from one another and it need not be mean or ugly. It can be fun and make us all better people.

This episode was not only bland, but downright condescending to the viewer. It was soaked in odd elitist snobbery while still managing to make literally every woman character feel clingy, dumb, or just strange. I keep hoping this series will get better, but it's just not.

Miranda's role keeps getting more and more muddled. Aiden and Carrie feel totally disingenuous. Charlotte lacks the confidence that allowed her to previously get away with being both prude and cute, and Che is still almost impossible to warm up to, in spite of having been softened some. I do think Che is adorable, though.

I'm enjoying outfits and hair and not much else.

This movie delivers a believable plot, lots of action, with good acting all around. I was pleasantly surprised by it. It's in the ilk of the 90s to 2000s thrillers with decent effects and characters that are imperfect, but likeable.

Gerard Butler brings his steady hand with action movie skills to the table in a way that I've personally missed. You'll also see a few other familiar and reliably good actors in supportive roles.

Not overly bloody, but likely too violent for little ones. There's some subtle details, too, that give this movie its best chance at being fully enjoyed if you give it your full attention. Would recommend.
