Inside Man
The acting is great though. Outside the writing, I feel the cast dove into their characters and it was really good to see. There isn't anyone that I feel cheated the role or anything else. They all are dedicated to it.

Don't Worry Darling
It is not often that I don't see the twist coming, but damn was I wrong, kind of, about the ending of this movie. They story itself is wildly incoherent at times, but it is intentional once you see the end. I think in general the story itself is a little confusing even at the end.
Movies
Gladiator
This is an oldy but a goody. Russell Crowe does an amazing job for a completely historically inaccurate movie. So I was watching this and guess it was the extended version because I saw some scenes I have NEVER seen before. I agree they should have removed them as they just really slowed down
TV
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
This isn't a crazy good show. It is highly entertaining in the fact that it is easy to jump in and out of the show. There are some reoccurring jokes, but you can pick up on the theme pretty quickly. The jokes are pretty low brow, but they are for sure fun.
TV
Fallout
If you like the Fallout games, you will love this show. There is a lot of dumb humor that you would get in the game, outright gory weapon violence, and some surprising emotional beats.
TV
Mr. Robot
While I think this show was some of the worst writing that could ever have been done, the best acting occurred in the 4th season. Remi Malek and Christian Slater could be on a clinic for the midseason monologues and dialogues. It was emotional. It was powerful. It came 3 seasons too late.
TV
Shogun
The start of this show is slow. However, Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki are simply putting on a clinic to whomever aspires to be in Hollywood. I cannot express to you how amazing their performance was.
TV
The Office
This show is beloved and for the first 6 seasons, that makes sense. However, Season 7 and 8 are just a drag with half of season 9 being pointless, the first half obviously.
TV
Young Sheldon
What is really crazy is watching these kids grow into these characters. The entire cast just makes a concerted effort to really play into these characters and knowing that this show is 7 seasons long you really forget how little they were when this started.
TV
For All Mankind
This show killed itself with the incestuous relationship that occurs earlier in the series. Their decision to have this as part of the story line forces them to continue to recover in future seasons as those characters were forcibly removed from the show.
TV
Presumed Innocent
The show is good. It tells a good story with suspense, and it is really well written. The acting team is superb. The kids do well with there acting and are super believable. They play a great role and give some additional depth to the story that I think played a big part in me enjoying the show.

Darkest Hour
This is part of an unintended trilogy that all cover the same event, the evacuation of Dunkirk. I recently saw and old Graham Norton Show interview were Hugh Jackman gushed over Gary Oldman's performance on this movie and having never seen it, I felt I had to
