Howa Bouthat

Heartbreaking and poignant. Police-egos, incompetence and media manipulation (special shame award to Geraldo Rivera and the participants of that grotesque mockery).

I watched 15 minutes of this - 10 of those minutes were because I was eating Doritos and didn't want to put my cheesy fingers on the keyboard to make it stop. No. Not even to just make fun of it.

This was awful. Everything about it was awful. It was so awful it was annoying. If you like awful movies, you'll love this.

Despite a truly great cast, this feels miscast, outdated and cliched. No amount of bling, balling or a clamor of skinny girl clones in short dresses will ever convince me Miami is interesting.

Gritty and emotional. You can tell it's gritty because Mila Kunis gets to look ugly (this is also known as being 'brave') and Glenn Close has a weird hairdo; and emotional because f-bombs galore! If you're looking for a film where the adult addict child and anguished parent are equally unlikeable and unsympathetic, this is for you.

A talented cast and a few moments of charm but clearly an AI generated script that rips off every successful teen movie from the 80s including character lookalikes. The resemblance of three of the male freshman to the cast of Stranger Things and throwaway references to non-binary, gay and trans folk reek of AI instruction profiles. The ending is an absurd mess. To call this lazy filmmaking is an understatement. Boo.

I remember Ellen on the Carson show - how original, funny and charismatic she was then and now. Her coming out was brave and groundbreaking and her talk show made her a global brand that people loved. She reveals enough of herself here, sharing her past and her present in her own way, in her own style. She has nothing to apologize for, she owes no one anything so critics expecting otherwise will be disappointed. For the rest of us, this is a bittersweet goodbye to a gifted and beloved woman.

The tale seems so unbelievable, you'll need patience and an open-mind to get through the first two episodes. The only shocking thing in the final episode is how close this couple came to having their reputations destroyed for the rest of their lives. Detectives hanging their hats on instinct rather than detecting is a shock to no one.

Strong, diverse ensemble that could use a bit of tinkering. Meredith MacNeil's characterizations as a 'dork' come a little too close to slapstick for my liking and her 'insecure' chatter is tiring. She's far more believable and interesting when she plays it straight. Leave the comedy to the understated and always sublime Karen Robinson. Adrienne C. Moore's Duff is serious to the point of almost being a drag. Hopefully it will hit its stride in season three, if there is one. Now that Elliot has gone off to college, fingers crossed we'll see less of him and Jackie!
