Melissa Peterman and Tahj Mowry are outstanding in this!! Their comedy plays off each other like a championship Wimbledon tennis match. They are brilliant every season, 1-6, and but for them, I would have stopped watching. Their love-hate relationship and matching personalities continually finds them teaming up in some kind of scuttle-butt-scheme which is always entertaining. I gave the show 3 stars instead of 5 because: 1. The camera shots in seasons 1-2 continually cut short the finest baby antics - a laugh, a smile, a giggle, a funny face, a movement. Right at the moment you start to laugh, poof it's gone. They cut the scene off in a split second and don't hold the focus. You just begin to laugh and the shot is gone, and you're like, "What?" That was a frustrating let down. 2. Around season 4, the episodes all start to seem the same. Each episode always consisted of these elements: a dating conundrum, some kind of breakup-makeup-breakup-makeup fiasco, the desperately sought after one-night-stand, and someone apologizing - all mixed with some kind of big calamitous comedic high-jinks. I loved seasons 1-3, then midway through season 4, I found myself saying, "Come on, just get to the finale already." 3. The biggest disappointment with seasons 4-6 was that they faded Emma into the background and out of the main story. We see her basically in the background, looking like a "toddler robot," with a few staged "quips" here and there. By mid season 5, the twins who play Emma look absolutely miserable on set. They were always looking down, were expressionless except for having constant distressed and confused eyebrows, and looked like they just wanted to do their scene, say their one line, and get out of there. It seemed like those little precious ones were unhappy being there, and I really disliked that. 4. So much comedic potential of a single dad, let alone three guys together raising a little girl, was lost to the screen writers. The comedic material available that stems from the stages of baby hood through the toddler years could have kept us constantly laughing, but was non existent, because the show wasn't ever really about a single dad raising a baby girl. That was a huge disappointment. Anyway, I liked the idea of the show, and it did well early on. I just wish it would have held true to it's inception idea and not ended up just being about sex and guy gets girl, girl gets guy stuff.

As someone who has read The Lord of the Rings over 250 times, (I stopped keeping track after 250 as that was my goal), as well as all of every other book Tolkien graced us with in his time, this rendering of the Dark Years by Amazon is epic, and absolutely true to Tolkien. Ignore the naysayers. I am thrilled beyond comprehension that someone is filling in the gaps of years unwritten between the Dawn of Time and the Third Age. Except for the Elves, Tolkien left that entire span of time for us to ponder and imagine. Well, I think the creators of the Rings of Power have brilliantly imagined it...indeed.

Totally P2W (pay to win) game. You will NEVER advance if you don't pay and pay and pay. And I mean lots of money. I was willing to fork out money for a good game, but then...once you start paying, the algorithm seems to tag you as a "payer," and the game seems to get more and more insidious to play without forking out $100's of dollars on a weekly basis. (I played for years so I know) So people save your cash and go do something ACTUALLY constructive. There is NO GAME worth paying for more than once. Go to the toy store and buy a family board game (remember those?) or a difficult model of a ship, or a paint-by-number, or some other hobby that cultivates actual skill. THIS ISNT IT! P2W games are gambling games disguised as video games and nothing more. If you want to gamble, go to Vegas! Your chances of winning in Vegas are much greater! At least you'll have a memorable vacation in return for your losses, and hey, you actually might not lose! With this game, you pay out, and pay out. Come on people, heed my warning. You're way smarter than to be taken advantage of by an intricate computer scam. Just like we've all learned to not answer the unknown phone number, its time to learn to not fall prey to the P2W video game scam.

Really good show. Actors are fantastic and the story is a mythology lovers dream. I totally disagree with the New York Times pretentious review. This series is amazing. I gave it only 3 stars instead of 5 bc of the amount of needless gore. The show moves continually from one battle to another which is great, but what isn't great is the in-your-face bloody gore. I'm a connoisseur of fantasy and mythology and oozing gore and guts just isn't needed to make a film a masterpiece nor is it enjoyable. Battle scenes can be epic without it. Tone it down a bit eh?
