LEGO® Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy (2024)
The best star wars show since Andor
Seriously, you end up caring more about a pile of plastic bricks than most of the 'characters' in the last few efforts from Star Wars TV.
Without spoiling anything:
1. Hilarious 'cameo's' from all of your favourite characters including some original cast members from all three trilogies as well as a few of the tv shows. Also keep an eye out for some non-star wars characters popping up in the background too.
2. an actual story that is both entertaining and fun.
3. a huge amount of easter eggs, not only for star wars fans but lego fans in general.
4. Darth Jar Jar is as amazing as he looks in the trailer, but one of the Jedi is even more insanely cool.
The hype is real, not just space.
The Night Agent (2023)
How did this get made?
--Light Spoiler warning for anyone attempting to watch past the first episode ---
Some great actors phoning it in, a script that must have been written by 1st year film school students, a screenplay written by a 6 year old, and a plot which is just laughably bad.
Literally every spy/conspiracy trope thrown in for good measure, more ridiculous 'twists' than Shayamalanadingdong could hope for, 'hacking' where at one point the cybersecurity 'expert' tries to format an encrypted drive to access it - oh, a bluetooth wireless dongle in an air gapped secure white house FBI computer that is then allowed to install screen mirroring software? Surrrrrree.... The list of stupidity is almost endless.
Added to all of this is the complete lack of emotional range any normal human beings would possibly show to the events unfolding.
Don't even get me started on the 2 assassins and their ridiculous scenes.
Which brings me back to the title - how the hell did this show get greenlit while quality TV shows get cancelled?
Infinite (2021)
Meh
Exposition linking random action sequences. Some nice special effects here and there, plot/script almost unintelligible.
Just skip through any part they start talking in - you won't miss anything important.
Blindspot (2015)
Turn your brain off to enjoy
Let me summarize this show by this simple formula that every episode follows - mix and match the following for each episode:
Pure chance coincidence or random Deus Ex Machina sends agents on a mission to speak to 'someone' based on the mysterious tattoos found on the main character.
'someone' turns out to be an FBI most wanted or other random gang leader or heavily armed person, shootout ensues.
Random emoting between team members, teasing of a romance subplot or secret agenda.
'Twist' that everyone saw happening from the start in regards to this week's 'villain'
Exploration of implausible backstory for main character of some sort.
Attempted hook or cliffhanger into next episode.
This is a show by the numbers, with some pretty awful dialogue delivered by some cardboard cutout characters.
There is nothing original about this show, switch your brain off and enjoy the action.
