The series started out great but then as the seasons continued, the plot conveniences overshadowed the intended character growth and story arcs. Hence it became completely un-relatable and felt fictional and didn't draw you in to the story.

The first season was good and I enjoyed the season 3 but somewhere as the seasons progressed it deteriorated. The character quirks which added a bit of humor soon became a gimmick and the plot convenience in each episode that intends to portray character growth or the pacing were not so seamless.

But that said I had fun binging on a couple of seasons before I realized it didn't hold my interest anymore.

I haven't seen all the episodes or the season, I just happened to catch Season 4 episode 4 as it was playing. They talk about how unsafe an exploded building rescue is but immediately afterwards the protagonist MacGuyver, Riley and Desi all enter without any safety gear or helmets whereas all the other rescue workers are following protocol and wearing safety gear. These lack of attention to details was irritating.

I loved the Pilot and the first few seasons were interesting but then the plot got too convoluted and turned into a soap opera rather than an interesting whodunnit set amidst some extraordinary scifi setting.

The show began with a lot of potential but it didn't quite live upto the mark. The season 4 especially was the worst ever. The hype of Moriarty being back pulled you in but it ends up being nothing! The reboot of Hound of Baskervilles is an example of how an amazing story could be mangled. Literally, Sherlock's mind runs through these random words until he comes up with some H.O.U.N.D project name off of some obscure connections that only his mind can make. The audience cannot observe his brilliant deductions and inferences as they never get a glimpse of the context or a perspective of the evidences that Sherlock observes.

Both the plot and the characters were mind numbingly boring.

This movie is reminiscent of Netflix's movie 'Set It Up' with the same plotline except with a little change in the ending compared with the original. The h's mom lisp and her constant nagging jars the viewers but I could see why the h became desperate enough to turn matchmaker.

With his eye makeup and constant flirting and his unsexy version of the British accent Lucifer comes across as trying too hard and gay rather than irresistible.

It wasn't a bad movie but it was really annoying to watch a movie with Captain America wearing a mask that makes him look cross eyed. With so little attention being paid to the costume of the protagonist, it was irksome thing that just bothered me the whole time. But both stars for the movie goes to the actors who despite the ridiculous costume worn by the Captain managed their dialogues and emotions very well rather than ridiculing the costume and director.

The version with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis was awesome and this was like a parody. Goes to show how even a concept that is been tried and tested and successful can be an epic failure in the wrong hands!

This is the first of a kind graduation where no one had any cell phones or digi cams recording the events! So of course KC can get away with the whole fight sequence without it going viral. No one of course dared to put in a 911 which even a kinder garten graduate knows he needs to if a mad guy walks into school waving a gun!
