"Sharp Objects" is one of the slowest, most painfully dull TV shows I've ever watched. I went in with high hopes for an intense, psychological thriller but was let down at every turn. The pacing is glacial, dragging on with little to no payoff, making it feel like a chore to watch. Each episode trudges forward with almost nothing happening, filled with overly drawn-out scenes that lead nowhere. By the end of episode four, I had some hope as it ended on a cliffhanger that teased excitement and progress. But this "cliffhanger" turned out to be a false promise - nothing significant unfolded, and the supposed excitement quickly fizzled out into yet more tedium. This fake-out was the final straw for me; I couldn't bring myself to finish episode five. The show is just so incredibly boring that I genuinely regret spending time on it at all. "Sharp Objects" may appeal to those with a lot of patience, but if you're looking for a suspenseful or engaging mystery, steer clear. This show is the very definition of style over substance, with no real story to back it up.

I regret to say that the new TV show "Fallout" was a major disappointment. The first five minutes showed promise, but it quickly went downhill from there.
The most glaring issue is the severe lack of dialogue throughout the show, forcing viewers to remain glued to the screen lest they miss a crucial plot point. This makes for a frustrating and tedious viewing experience.
The scant dialogue that does exist is poorly written, leading me to believe that the writers simply lack the skill to craft compelling conversations between characters.
I found myself utterly bored after just 40 minutes and had to give up on the show entirely. It's a shame, as the premise had potential, but the execution falls flat on its face.
I cannot recommend this show to anyone looking for an engaging or entertaining experience. Save yourself the time and skip "Fallout" altogether.

The premise for this show is great and I was excited to watch it after seeing the trailer but unfortunately it's written by people who are not good writers and don't understand comedy.
The few jokes are laboured and copied from other sitcoms - none of them are very funny but you can tell the writers were high-fiving each other about them - unfunny as I guess the writers are.
I got to episode 5 of the series, but it was hard work, it felt like a chore watching it at times.
There are also plot holes and inconsistencies all over the place.
And to sum up, they had a fantastic idea, but were too safe and dull in the execution - and it's badly written by people who aren't funny.
