I thought that this series was a spectacular example of how you can write, direct, act and produce a series that really delves into the most meaningful question in life. That question is - of course - how the heck can I get a job where I can write, direct, act in or produce something that is a collection of short stories with no endings? I just had an epiphany!! I shall create, write, direct, act in and produce the series "and Found". And then write, direct, act in and produce the series "and Lost Again".

Well, I only watched the first 5 minutes. It generally doesn't take too long to smell something bad, if you have a sense of smell. American television. Still trying to find the lowest common denominator. I have to admit that they are getting very close.

Watched like 15 mins of the 1st episode and 10 minutes of series 3, ep. 3. Clever idea for half of a "made for tv" movie but not enough legs to go very far. American TV. Sigh.

Ouch! Well, that's 25 minutes of my life I will never get back.

Not impressed. If anything they took a step back from last year. A bunch of rah rah team stuff, this should have been individual competition. The chin-ups were supposed to be only counted with good form, that means chin above the bar, not JUST eyes. Should have separate man and woman competitions. Competitors were eliminated then given 2nd chances. What happens next season, do they get 3rd chances? Can hardly wait till the 100th season. I feel like the real loser, having gone half way through show 6 before quitting.

I watched this show for 5 minutes and by then the lead character had annoyed the h*** out of me. I can't imagine watching a show this pretentious longer than 6 minutes.

To tell you the truth, I have not watched the new movie and I only watched some of the "first" movie. I read the book. Why am I writing a review about a movie I've never seen? you may ask. The same reason that there is a quantillion reviews that compare the 1st movie to the second. Who cares what you think about the 1st movie compared to the second movie? The story is incredible but the book sucked. On a range of of 1 to 10, Dustin Hoffman's acting skills are a 1. His range of expression goes from stunned to very stunned. I am giving 1 star to the reviewers. I only write this stuff because I like to write. I am now one of the quantillion reviewers who are never read but write anyway. ; 0

I haven't watched the show yet, I just wanted somebody to read my comment. I generally go through the reviews before I start watching a show, especially a series. Believe me, this isn't my first day at the rodeo. So saying, I spent a lot of time either under the microscope myself, or conversely using it to examine "TV". "Cultural appropriation" "Isn't as good as the original" and "They sure don't make ' em like they used to" are not phrases I use. My belief is that you hold everything up to the light and see if it is pleasing to you. The fact that so many people feel that it is necessary to give this show a negative review just to say "Don't believe those negative reviews" is both telling and somewhat charming. Thanks. Place happy face Emoji here.

OK, I admit I only watched the first 20 minutes. Is this enough to rate this show? Probably not. It just made such a bad first impression that I don't have the patience to watch anymore. "Anything you can do, I can do better." "No you can't!" "Yes I can!" "No you can't!" And repeat. There is (was?) an author named James L. Summers who wrote books for teens. In one of the books he talked about a couple of students who were academically gifted but who had no social skills. The term he used was "Smart IN school, dumb OUT." If you are so competitive that you can't let someone pass you while you are jogging, you are dumb out. I don't have enough patience to watch this couple get smart OUT, fall in love and live . . . .

Only watched the first show so far. Visuals were good but audio was bad. Uneven levels, bad mix with music too loud and the commentary in the mud.
