The organization is very much a rag tag group. The issue is that there are so many conflicting stories from those that have left vs. those that are still in. The women who were born in this religious organization have been convinced what they see, what they have been part of, is normal.
TV
I know that people are mad about this show because it doesn't match The Samerillion or something along those lines. I haven't read any of the books. I tried once in middle/high school and just got lost in the descriptions. I will give it an attempt in the next decade or so.
Action
This movie was either entertaining or frustratingly stupid. This problem starts with the story and the writing. So the main premise of the story, UFC fighter turns bouncer, is fine makes sense. The bigger story of an ultrarich boy trying to take over this small town is outrageously stupid.
TV
Where I think this show did a disservice to the books and character is not continuing the idea of the loner that he is. In the books, what makes him a what he is just a guy doing the Lord's work because he is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
TV
Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch do an outstanding job of playing operators and you can see the work they put into learning the tricks. There is a scene in the last or second to last episode where Chris does a great right to left shoulder transition that just shows tons of practice.
TV
This is one of my favorite shows. John Krasinski is an outstanding actor and this show is really one of the primer examples of that. The entire team does such an amazing job that it is really a disappointment that this show has ended.
TV
It is a UK show, so a FULL 1 hour episode, not the typical 45-minute ones that you see in the US, so be ready for some longer, slower, and more story driven parts. If you want to compare this to Dr. Who or Sherlock, don't. This is not the same caliber as those, but it is worth watching.
Movies
Can Michael B. Jordan play any other character?! Between this, Black Panther, and Creed, the character is just a different back story for the same dude. Its good, but damn he is a one-trick pony. The movie is a standard Tom Clancy film. Action, subplot, suspicion, and trade craft.
TV
This show starts crazy and ends weak. The story is interesting and does a great job pulling you in. It’s just off, though. This show has been labeled a comedy and while there were some funny bits, Scooby-doo has better comedy than this. It isn’t that the jokes didn’t land, it’s that they are there.
