Ok, so first, I have to admit I live under a rock. I’m assuming that’s the only way you’ll believe that second, I had never heard of Pose and knew nothing about it before watching the season 1 opener today. A few minutes in, I was worried it was going to be campy and a waste of time, not to mention aimed in a direction I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch. After awhile, I noticed I was enjoying it, but I thought it would be a guilty pleasure. By the time I was near the end, I had been moved to tears, cared about the characters, and had an interest in their issues. I no longer planned to enjoy Pose in secret. I wanted to spread the news about the well written, fresh new show I was so happy to have found. I don’t know what the buzz has been or is about Pose, but it handles weighty issues without being preachy. It isn’t “in your face” but doesn’t shrink from the difficult either. I was born in the early 70s and though I consider myself pretty liberal, I’m not very familiar with the LGBT (if I left anyone’s initial out, it is due to ignorance, not disrespect) community and probably wouldn’t have watched Pose had I known the subject matter in advance. I received quite an education and am a better person for it. Thanks for an enlightening show that’s equally entertaining.

LA’s Finest is almost unwatchable. I’ve made it to episode 6, trying to give it a chance. It’s over-acted, under-written, and totally predictable. I love this genre and to compare it to the top cop dramas that came before it is laughable. I am sooo done with this show.

Horrible. Just awful. Jason Momoa as Aquaman is the only reason I wasn’t bored to death. He’s a bright spot in an otherwise silly (do we really need to fear a war w/people that can’t breathe air?) plot that’s poorly acted (wet paper bags will not be intimidated by Amber Heard) and way too reliant upon special effects reminiscent of a bad acid trip. Ugh.

In reading the other reviews, I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong w/me. This movie bored me to tears. My 10 yr old asked if he could fast forward after about 20 min. The songs were sappy and w/no real chorus, not very catchy. It is nice enough I guess. If you had to take a nun to the movies, you’d be safe. So bland that the contrast of ice on snow offers more interest. On the spicy scale, Smallfoot comes in just behind milk. Ugh. I want that time back. Sorry folks. Just not for my family.
