Unlike every other NCIS spinoff, "NCIS Sydney" has no connection to any other established NCIS team... it's just a rough Aussie drama with the "NCIS" tag added to it to pull an audience with trickery. The pacing and edits make me wonder if the writers or producers have even watched an episode of their namesake. Sure Vance got a mention, but without at least including a video call from Duckie to confirm a finding are they even really trying!

And of course we had to include a bunch of Australian idioms to make it truely Ausified. Surprised we didn't have a mob of kangaroos bouncing around the Sydney Opera House.

Then there's the blatant disregard for ANY kind of rules, be it chain of command (at any point) or the stealing of a helicopter from the deck of a US warship all accomplished with zero consequence.

I love every other iteration of NCIS, so I'm sad this one is less than moderately good. There's also the weird choice to show this episode then have a gap between it and the next.

Glamorous is a bit of fun.

Not everything has to be a deep existential look at the human condition, sometimes we just need a bit of fun, and Glamorous gives us that.

Are the storylines very predictable... yes, are there too many clear references to things we saw and heard on RuPaul's Drag Race... yes, are we saddened every time the gorgeous Michael Hsu Rosen's Ben, is passed over for Parker... yes. But we're still having fun.

Suspend your need for intrigue and suspense, open yourself to the fun Glamorous gives us and enjoy the fact we have a bunch of representation (even if very stereotypical) and Kim Cattrall on our screens.

This show is great, not sure why there are so many negative reviews.

Those looking for a typically Marvel movie-like action adventure are looking in the wrong place.

Ms Marvel is an origin story, this season is all about the character coming into her own, we especially know that now that Episode 5 is complete. Kamala Khan now understands more of her origins, and we do too. Is it different to the comic books, who cares? They've changed every superhero for the big and little screen, even big names have been reimagined multiple times in different iterations of the comics.

Ms Marvel, the TV Show, isn't about "the villain of the week", it is about family and self discovery and it's done quite well.

I look forward to seeing where Ms Marvel goes and I'd feel pretty bad if her story was cut short because of a bunch of people complaining it doesn't have to action of a blockbuster movie.
