Alyssa Milano should be embarrassed to be associated with this movie. It was so bad that I began to think that it was supposed to be a campy movie, but even for a campy movie it was atrocious. ATROCIOUS. The Chief of D's kept indulging her with running the investigation!!! Seriously have they ever seen Law & Order????? Th3e only reson I kept wayching was it was only 90 minutes....90 long minutes , long. At th end when Alyssa Milamnos character takes on the Dominatrix Persona of her murdered sister to "catch" the killer she has her boobs spilling ut of her ludicrous costume and moves like she's 90 years old. Pitiful. Alyssa, fire your agent this movie didn't do you any favors.

Didn't love it. Let's start out with the shallow reasons it annoyed me. The hairstyles of the female actors. Biels was the worse of the bunch, she spent 90% of the series pushing it out of her face. It always looked like it was one step away from needing a good washing and it wasn't the least bit flattering. Bank's hair was just awful, the color was washed out and the cut looked like an elongated mullet, it really enhanced her whole alcoholic, skank vibe, and finally the two black woman, (can't remember their names,) both looked like they were wearing bad wigs. It was so distracting to me,(see I warned you it's an observation of a shallow person) As to the whole story line and acting, ridiculous, everyone took turns being a suspect and the whole law firm scandal was never flushed out and literally wrapped up in 2 minutes at the end of the series. Also who killed Jake and why? Lets just show his (?) dead body on the beach and surmise it must have been Matthew Modine who ordered the hit , cause firing him wasn't gonna cut it???? And what about the ruthless (?) corrupt FBI agent, what was his deal?? I hated every character in the show. No one had any redeeming qualities, made worse by the distracting , awfull bad hair....

In the interest of full disclosure, I love Matthew Goode. He is a cross between Dr House and Sherlock Holmes on this series. There is something so appealing about someone who is so good at their job that they don't have to take the BS from anyone and can say what they wish, albeit in a funny, sarcastic, irreverent way. I also love each and everyone of he other cast members. Each distinguishes themselves early on and builds their characters as believable human beings, with just the right amount of quirkiness. The plot is believable, sorta. Highly recommend, if you are like me and love across the pond detective/slash murder mysteries.The Scottish accent is just a bonus

Full disclaimer to all the one star reviewers: I am not getting paid to review The Pitt. Also I worked as an RN/APN for over 42 years, the majority of the time in urban , inner city hospitals and ER's. This show is so well done, it makes me want to un-retire. The dichotomy of the show is that it has outstanding doctors, not all ER's do unfortunately and the wait times and inability to transfer patients to inpatient is right on the money, for all the reasons Dr Robby outlined to the administrator.Boring, I think not. Not the right accent for Pittsburgh, irrelevant. DEI propaganda, have you been to a hospital lately, it's like a league of nations and there's nothing wrong with that. I guess you want all your doctors and nurses and custodians to be white? As far as promoting COVID which one reviewer states was a hoax, well nuff said about that person's medical background. I love the show. It depicts humanity and apparently some people have a problem with that.

ok I don't know where al these 4 and 5 star reviews are coming from, but this movie did "Fall" alright, right on its face. I AM A FAN OF EMILY BLUNT AND RYAN GOSLING, but these two had zero chemistry. Emily, known for her quick wit and banter was as bland as warm bottled water and Gosling seemed to be phoning in his dialogue. Even the stunts were predictable, he's no John Wick or Tom Cruise.The story line was ...what was the story line exactly? Original actor gets kidnapped and they send Gosling to find him and car chases and beatings ensue...yawn. I never made it to the end, so to those of you who say the ending was da bomb, I say how so? Did they get back together.?..how original. Sorry for the dis, but I was looking forward to this movie and it just lacked synchronicity.

The Original movie with Harrison and Greta was spot on, this is a poorly acted, (sorry Jake), horrendously cast remake and a series to boot. Rusty is so unsympathetic, and such a whiner.And the actress who plays Carolyn is no Greta, who you could see why she was so successful at seduction. I miss Raul Julia who was superb. I'll watch the next episodes , but it's gonna be tough slogging. Also his wife is such a bore.

So bad and here's the reasons: Awful casting. Lincoln looked like a shrunken, cartoon of himself.He was 6'5" and commanded any room he was in. They had him disheveled, wrapped in a blanket(?), and about 5'10" with an annoying, squeaky, grating voice. The rest of the cast bore no resemblance to the real historic figures either in appearance or behavior. Stanton without his beard???, Stewart as a goof ball and Mary Todd, seemed almost normal, even her grief about the shooting of her husband was on point with what a wife who just saw her husband shot in the head would act like. so the justification of removing her from his bedside seemed cruel. Also historical , inaccurate dialogue. Stanton supposedly said,"Now he belongs to the ages" not "now he belongs to the angels". Also was Dr. Mudd the slave beater he was portrayed as? The shifting back and forth in time was like the director had ADHD. Why couldn't we just follow the events as they unfolded and get some character development. I will not be watching anymore episodes, one was enough.

caution; spoilers ahead. I know it's a series of fiction, but some of the roads supposedly these intelligent people go down could have been handled much safer and smarter. Like when she "accidently" pushes Ben off the roof. Had they just called 911 and said he beat up her friend because he was trying to stop him from "jumping" cause he was depressed about losing his job, all of the subsequent problems would have vanished. But then again, there goes the plot. Also, what about the dirty cop????!!! No explanation was ever given for why he did what he did. Obviously money played a part, but still, he got away with it cause his partner was too lovesick to notice? Speaking of which, was she the only homicide detective in ALL OF LONDON???? I agree that Hannah was the most interesting character, her accent alone makes for great listening, but she was crazy and I cannot see that relationship recovering nicely. Also why was Rebecca not attracted to Fabio as well, just like the detective was attracted to Sophias brother. Just to let him die was colder than the Arctic during a blizzard. The DNA matching concept was a good one, but it was secondary to this soap opera drama.

The only thing remotely comedic about this movie (it's billed as a comedy/drama), is the number of time Natalie Portman's character says "Thank you", in that annoying cloying voice. If I were sitting around with a group of friends and we played take a shot of tequila every time she said it we'd be wasted in 12 minutes. I found the movie to be tiresome, with all the characters creepy and unsympathetic. Portman was the worst, almost pathological in her quest to morph into the woman who sexually abused a 12 year old. However if that was the directors goal, then kudos, but it makes for a one dimensional movie, with one dimensional characters, phoning in their lines. To be fully engaged in a story you need to have some sort of dichotomy. All of the characters just seem borderline evil to me, evil and pathetic.

caution: spoiler alert: It was the absurdity of this story that kept me watching. That and my daughter and I just had fun making fun of it. For starters: Why was the detective taking pills? Why didn't the healthcare practitioner ask him what meds he was on? Talk about shoddy healthcare. Why would be put himself in harms way knowing he could pass out, have a seizure, die. Driving, going to isolated places in search of murderers, climbing up roof tops. Worse detective ever. and apparently talking frequently to a "hallucination" that no one who observed him thought was peculiar. Maya: now that I know she killed her husband, it makes even less sense the way she behaved as she was "gathering clues". I mean this woman blabbed to everyone but the police. Never kept them in the loop. She did need psyche help. I never saw her eat, drink use the bathroom, or care for her child. Basically she was Keifer Southerland in an episode of 24.Why did she care about the Dark guy in the freezer? And lastly , what was the point about the storyline of her sister's long ago pregnancy and finding the half brother. What did any of that have to do with the price of potatoes. 8 hours of my life I'll never get back.
