1) It may be the dumbest film I've ever seen. Every ten seconds I was screaming at the screen: you gotta be -ing kidding me / that would never happen / stupid! / seriously? / oh. my. god. / this is ridiculous…. In a cycle. Over and over. Just dumb. Shocking, considering how brilliant I thought The Sixth Sense was. I even liked Unbreakable.
2) Found out while watching that the singer portrayed is M Night’s daughter, and the rationale for making this ridiculous film was then apparent. It’s a vehicle to promote her, I guess. And in that, maybe it’s successful. Surprisingly, the music isn’t that bad. Better than a lot of pop stuff of this era.
3) I kept watching because, even in its stupidity, it’s not boring, but more importantly, I just had to see how all of it resolved. I kept hoping the dumbness had a rationale. I just couldn’t accept that M Night made such a piece of crap.

I'll have some down time between Christmas and New Year's. Still have a few more seasons of What We Do In The Shadows. Black Doves is in on my list. Heard good things about Thelma (movie). I'll get one month of Apple so I can binge Shrinking S2 and maybe Bad Monkey and then cancel.
Binged the first season of The Sticky last night. Really liked it - quirky and funny. Based on a true story, but doesn't really follow what actually happened.
Season 1 ends with a cliffhanger, but season 2 hasn't yet been green-lighted by Amazon Prime yet. Hope they order another season.
The Sticky: Created by Brian Donovan, Ed Herro. With Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos, Guillaume Cyr, Gita Miller. When maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry finds her livelihood under attack by greedy competitors who were once her friends, she concocts a scheme to exact revenge and shake up the...

Binged S1 and S2 (finishing the latter this morning) of Shrinking.
Really enjoyed it.
I’m not usually in this thread, but just wanted to give a shout. I enjoy most of Bill Lawrence’s shows (Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Cougar Town) and this is no exception.
Tom of great performances, including, unsurprisingly, Harrison Ford. He crushed it in the S2 finale.

Personally, I think it’s one of Harrison Ford’s finest performances. I also think Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, and Ted McGinley are excellent in their roles. Really enjoy the depth of the show while also having some hilarious scenes.
