Have decided to give y'all a chance to contribute to the Curmudgeon List!
Yes, it's an opportunity to put personal opinions out there on the internet . . . which never happens.
Hah!
For more than a decade friends and family have made suggestions for viewing on the various streaming services. Am fortunate that a lot of my associates are from the film industry. Their recommendations, while not bullet-proof, stand a more than 50% of being enjoyable.
But when they whiff, they whiff.
Let's get this started.
Here's my personal Top Ten list of absolute misses:
- Game of Thrones. Don't care about dragons. The Hobbit did it best.
- The Stranger. Please stop basing TV on Harlen Coben books. Please.
- Call the Midwife. Don't call the midwife.
- Doc Martin. Better as a shoe.
- A Man Called Otto. Please give the cat to someone else.
- The Mindy Project. The project should be to make Mindy go away.
- The Citadel. Don't give the cat to Priya.
- Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar. Ishtar? Are you joking?
- Avatar 2. Beyond stupid.
- The Gilded Age. Wait for it to get better . . . uh, don't.
Given enough patience, there are at least 50 on my list that are best described as unwatchable tripe.
What are yours?
