Star Trek: The Lights of Zetar (1969)
Peak Misogyny
So odd that in a show famed for its progressive ideals, and in the same season that saw "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" try so hard to deal with the dangers of racial hatred, that such flagrant sexism is so casually displayed...
Just goes to show that whilst the US might have been ready for white people in face paint to discuss the inequalities of the time it still wasn't even aware of the women's movement.
New Amsterdam: Talkin' Bout a Revolution (2022)
US Fantasy Turned Up to Eleven
I love the aspirational ideals of the show usually.
But for there to be a scene where a waiting room of Londoners all clamour for US style healthcare is about as believable as one full of Martians or Elves...
What on Earth were the writers thinking?
Hilarious.
The Rookie: Hit and Run (2021)
Headache inducing...
The constant, nonsensical, shaky cam cuts make this an absolute horror on the eyes.
It doesn't even make any internal logic...
Who's watching this cam footage? And why do the in car "ShopCam" cameras manage to have multiple camera angles despite a single identification code on the footage? It's like the Director/Editor couldn't be bothered to follow through on their concept.
Please no more of this...
FBI: International (2021)
Oh dear...
Dumb, nonsensical and actually damaging to the franchise's established lead.
FBI has spent almost 60 episodes establishing OA as a highly professional, intelligent and skilled agent. This turns him into a hot headed buffoon in an effort to make the new lead agent look good.
The concept that the FBI don't have foreign field offices full of highly connected and intelligent agents, fully up to speed with local Intel but instead have a team of five "super agents" to roam the world is utterly ludicrous.
Hopefully can course correct as some talented actors are going to waste here.
