TV
Esmeralda is so obnoxious, irresponsible, and manipulative, and in an age where the rest of the characters are relatively woke, no one recognizes being gaslit to the uptenth degree. I cannot stand her to the point that I fast forward EVERY seen she was in.

I understand and could agree with IMDB giving this a 6.7. It isn't great. There is a lot of weird blood splatter, impossible shots/fighting, and other things that just make you shake your head. It isn't great.
Action
This is where Chris Pratt came onto the map and honestly in such a good way. I know that people will say Parks and Rec, but they are wrong. His comedy might have brought him to the table, but this performance put him on the map.
Movies
Honestly the acting is outstanding. Stanley Tucci's dad role is so funny. The joke about the kid NOT being adopted is outstanding. I have seen this movie a few times and laugh every time. It just hit me right in the funny bone.
TV
This has got to the most basic TV show I've seen in a long time and is a miss for Apple TV in my opinion. The major issue story wise is that it just follows EVERY clique possible. From beginning to end. From dead-beat dads to Gen Z agendas.

I would place a huge bet that was all ad-lib. One of the ones that I still remember weeks later is "I need to tell you this. In a past life, you were a donkey and I was your owner. You were a stubborn ass donkey. I guess nothing changes." It caught me so off-guard that I really laughed.
Movies
Actually, I am not sure who they made this movie for now that I write that last sentence. It is rated PG-13 which I think is too high for the audience that would be interested in, and I doubt they were aiming to make this for moms and dads trying to connect with their kids going to college.
TV
Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham are absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I think every single person really does an incredible job of growing into their roles. Between seasons there is some amazing character growth and I wish more shows and movies put this much effort into it.
TV
The comedy and drama have a pretty good balance. There are times however, where they have pushed the characters to just be at the limit of acceptable and mainly that is Missy. Actually the more I think about it, the more it feels like all main Young Sheldon cast are just being written out.
Movies
Will and Martin are again outstanding in their comedy. I really like the return of Reggie as it is one of my favorite scenes from Bad Boys II where they make a scene when he picks up Martin's daughter.
TV
Let me start by saying something slightly controversial. I have never been a big fan of Harrison Ford as I think he is overrated. However, this show puts him where he belongs for everyone else. He was funny, he was emotional, and he was believable. This honestly goes for the rest of the cast as well
TV
Speaking of the story, most of the episodes are stand alone with some small exceptions which allows you to jump in an out. Obviously, the paintball episodes are the best, but there are some really good episodes. Then there are episodes that are absolutely catastrophic.
