This is actually terrible.
3 stars for the all-in game ness of the players, despite a script that should be pulped for recycled toilet paper.
Near the beginning of episode one, the new doctor onboard tours the Odyssey, a lavish 5 star cruise liner. We tour right along with him. It's a sumptuous, fantasy of a ship. At one point, the doctor is led down a hall of burnished walnut, walking in a kind of formation and I thought "Bones!!!?!'" . And 'oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if this show took a turn toward Star Trek or even The Orville?'.
Not only did Doctor Odyssey choose the path more commonly taken, the single first script was packed with every cliche, trope and bit of bad dialog it could scrape from the bottom of Ryan Murphy's shoe.
Ugh.
I watched the entire first episode and I promise you, it just gets worse and worse.
I feel badly for the talent caught up in this mess.

The Hater is a love story, but not the love story you are led to believe by the blurb and photos. It is the story of a radical left woman who returns to her Republican Texas hometown in shame and through circumstance, falls in love with the community she once resented.
This is an odd and lovely story, unique to the USA and unique to our times. It has a Lifetime-low-budget feeling, but the script, deft direction and sensitive performances make for an entertaining, thought provoking hour and a half.
The point of this film is that the Constitution is the thing that allows our Nation to exist. Our differing ideas about the Constitution is what makes the USA a great Nation.
This film is a beautiful love letter to the United States.

Is wrong with people? This is a fantastically funny movie. Filthy, incredibly smart and extraordinarily funny with humor that runs the gamut from gutter to pure, inspired genius.
Maybe it's just my generation- I'm old. I must have been eight years old the first time I ever saw Gene Wilder. I was supposed to be asleep in the 'way back' of the family station wagon at the drive in; back then, a double feature would consist of a relatively innocuous family(ish) film and the second feature, once the kids were asleep, was often risqué. I have never forgotten the shot of the demoralized Wilder, homeless and drinking woolite straight from a bottle after being spurned by his soulmate sheep in 'Everything You Always Wanted to Know about S$+ *** but Were Afraid to Ask.'
Again, Movie 43 is smart, funny and most of all, human (warts and worse). It's also utterly silly. What's not to love?
