Few thoughts on the first episode of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2
-
Current state of streaming is hilarious - Though it is a Paramount show. It is not on Paramount+. It is not on Peacock. Where you can stream the rest of the series. You have to watch through a provider on Paramount Channel. 🤯
-
The plot line to write out Kevin Costner was dumb. It felt beyond unnatural and so immediate. I know the showrunners are probably upset at him, but come on.
-
At least the progress bar is a boot. So we have that…

📺 See (2019) - ★★★☆☆
Seasons One and Two are very strong. Even grittier and more violent than Game of Thrones. Interesting to see how characters navigate without sight. Then Season Three is a quick wrap up with a very disappointing, predictable ending. The last three episodes really drag on to a snooze fest.

🍿 Men in Black: International (2019) - ★★★☆☆
I had low expectations to be honest. Though I think biggest crime was it was seven years too late. It had typical Hemsworth Thor comedy. Also felt true to the other three. I can say I watched it now.
Trying to find a movie not a 100% kids movie though not R rated when we hang out as a family is easier said than done. The gap between 5 and 17 is a huge balance.

📺 Wellmania (2023) - ★★★☆☆
Sad there won’t be a season two. It did have very funny scenes in every episode.

📺 Pokémon Concierge (2023) - ★★★★☆
Such a cute felt style. I like it is about Pokémon relaxin versus always in battle.
I have found my new career path.

📺 Deadwood (2004) - ★★★★☆
It is almost criminal this show was not a few more seasons and wrapped up well. Already amazing it could have become much more. So many charming secondary characters that often steal the show from the mains.
Yes, there was the movie in 2019. Though it didn’t give us anything deeper than saying it is done.
Still four stars for a must watch series.

🍿 The Stranger (2022) - ★★★☆☆
Pretty good murder mystery. Interesting story telling with weaving timelines.

🍿 Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) - ★★☆☆☆
The movie is like someone stole the sea creature part of Luca put together with the teenage discovery of Turning Red from Disney and none of the charm or humor.
Only +1 star because spending time with the little that seemed to enjoy it.

I mean come on… it’s Uncle Buck. John Candy and Hughes classic! What’s not to love?

🍿 Like Father (2018) - ★★☆☆☆
It’s a cutesie movie. There are some funny moments of course. Though you know how exactly how it will go. Workaholic daughter meets absent father so both can learn a lesson on life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
HBO
Three episodes. Three tragedies.
Though this episode it was bittersweet. It was redeeming to find out that even during an apocalypse that love and life still finds a way. It has been quiet awhile since a television show has impacted me this way.
I was so happy that Bill found Frank, even in the situation everyone found themselves in. I think it was a love he was looking for even before things fell apart.

Spoilers Ahead
Episode two was exciting for me. It was the first glimpse outside the QZ to see what the new world looks like. Also to see what dangers lie ahead. My question from episode one was what occurred in the beginning? How did we get here? What did Joel do for the 20 year gap? (Which Ellie asked about but was shot down for a reply.)
The clickers are going to be a creepy enemy that goes above and beyond of whatever you think a zombie is.

Rating ⭐️⭐️
It honestly upsets me a bit to give this game a lower review. I wanted to like it way more then I actually did. The idea of a game where everything is a mystery forcing you to figure it out on your own, is something new. Doing in an instruction manual format is original on top of that. Though often I was left needing more direction. Some hint of where to go.

Parenthood TV Series 2010-2015 IMDB ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can be corny at times, but over all really good. I enjoyed the characters. Fun thing to do is guess based on their previous actions how they will handle the next situation. (Wife and I call our game “Because we write theses things…”) Often referred to as This is Us light it has a lighter drama more comedy writing. By the end I felt like a Braverman
