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.

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.

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.

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

The Last Rifleman
I have so much to say and at the same time so little to say. The long and short is that Pierce Brosnan is outstanding in his role and tells a wonderful story. I am honestly not sure what to say other than watch it.

The Great Escaper
This movie is a testament to love, courage, and the lessons that never leave us. Showing you the beauty of 70 years of love and knowing each other can bring out the best in you, even when you don't know it still needs to be pulled out.

The Courier
You can’t mess up a true-life spy story and they sure did not. No gun fights, not war stories, just 2 men who changed the world and stopped the Cuban Missile Crisis. Benedict Cumberbatch is a superb actor and I love watching his movies. I can’t think of anything that he has done that he hasn’t fit

A Few Good Men
This is such a good movie. There are few movies that really get the feeling and cult like dedication the Marine Corps instills in you like this movie does. While the two young Marines are a little over the top at times...

Blade Runner 2049
The shots in this movie are awesome. From the desert storms, the big cities, the San Diego trash sites, and to the giant digital display of Joii is just so good. This is a masterclass of blending CGI with practical effects.

Blade Runner
My major complain for a similar movie, Alien was that the quiet pieces were just too quiet. This movie doesn't have that issue. The music feels and adds so much to this movie that I am 90% sure it fueled music for games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Movies
Prisoners
The story is excellent and while I had a feeling about how it was going to end, I was thrown through the loop and had to second guess the ending. It is so well written with no real sign post that I loved. This is another of Denis Villeneuve fantastic movies.
