In the past few months the entertainment value of The Talk has risen to Emmy Award level!!! The current hosts are upbeat, kind, funny and I stay tuned in day after day. Now that the producers etc. have gotten it right it is a shame it is being cancelled. Two favorites - using Bill Wither's "Lovely Day" as the shows opening music. Love it, Love it Love it! Today's Lipsync October show was hilarious, the winner is about to be announced but my top pick is Akbar as MJ Hammer - he was great!

Have been spellbound for 3 binge sessions. I was a fan of Prince of BelAir for its comedy, and mostly Will Smith, but this production is excellent as a stand-alone drama with a serious approach to the emotions of the characters and their core goodness towards each other. My heart breaks every episode when Carlton is hurt, angry, struggling. The storylines approach current day issues subtly, without being preachy. I rate shows based on if they keep my undivided attention and if I tear up here and there. This is a great one!

For those experiencing similar situations, this movie did not tell the story of pain and helplessness addicted people and those around them feel. It left me with -- so what? what are the lessons we can learn? Are we only to feel sorry for the son and father? That is all the story seemed to say. It did not address the pain of the addicted nor did it offer resolution more than the obvious. This is a difficult situation for too many - rich and poor, loved and unloved. The conclusion of the movie was as I expected -- there is nothing others can do for the addicted who refuse to help themselves, and we can only hope there is a positive outcome, which in my experience happens rarely.

I believe I saw this movie before, but watched it again today. As it plodded along, the scenes were familiar, but I never got drawn in or interested. I chose to do chores while it remained on in the background. Not a fan of JL, a big fan of MP and EH, so I tried to watch it. The negativity of the characters in the first 45 minutes, waiting for some sort of story to be unveiled, turned me off. The reviews are saying it is a reflection on the ruins man is making through climate change???? Could have fooled me. I took away it was another selfish man and rude strangers. Jennifer's character was so weak that I never reached a level of empathy.
