I am so mixed about this show. I was confused so I read the reviews. And I concentrated on the 1-Star and 2-Star reviews, to see what they said. I didn't agree with all nor everything they said but I understood where many came from. Nor did I agree with all of the glowing stuff from all of the 5-star reviews. So then i went and did a lot of reading about different aspects via a lot of questions I posed in Google and read A LOT of the answers: Who was Regus Patoff supposed to be? The ending explained? Unanswered questions from The Consultant? Etc. And after reading from MANY different sources and reading a LOT of barckground, I see that there was much more to The Consultant than the series itself actually portrayed in the actual TV Series. The problem I have is, if I have to research and read the true meaning of things from the tv show, online, then there is not enough included in the actual TV series. I see now that the show has aspect of brilliance to it, but unless you have read the book (perhaps), read the background online like i did, or maybe are super, super, enlightened and brilliant, you're not going to get the TV Show by itself. Most people won't invest enough to go to this extreme. So I definitely understand all the many 1-Star and 2-Star ratings. I am only giving it a 4-Star Rating because I took the time to research the meaning of so many things from the show online after the fact, and now understand and see the brilliance behind it, and 'get it'.

Joker - 1/5 I’m sorry. This was just a bad movie to me. The entire movie was character development of the strange, mentally ill, main character, and nothing more. It was slow and boring. The movie never started in my eyes. It was a terrible waste of money. This must be the reason there was only 25 people in the theatre that could sit over 200. I normally love comic book movies, and am the one defending them to others, but not this one. This movie is full of itself. Joaquin Phoenix did a fine job playing a deranged, mentally ill, person. But this movie is not entertaining. I wish I could get those two hours of my life back.
