Homicide (2024)
Production value is there, content is lacking
Decent true crime but also feels like a well funded ad campaign for New York and its police department.
Stories are kinda long winded with good but also over the top and unnecessary "character development" of the officers and overdescribed background or family histories.
One also wonders what made them write in the guy "catching" a fly mid-interview, it was a little funny but takes away from a supposed documentary with this added story/acting just to try and make an interviewee more interesting.
All my respect to the hard working officers of NY though, stories are and will be interesting enough even without this much extra fluff.
Resident Alien: The Alien Within (2022)
Downwards trend
Decent episode with a good twist. Sahars "intelligence" needs to be toned down it's becoming annoying instead of just unbelievable.
Episode is mostly about other things instead of the main point of the show, the alien, who is keeping this show interesting and funny with the actors brilliant job.
Good character development overall for the main characters, Astas actress is consistent in doing a great job. Filling the show with small town life is great and all, could do with a little less of the individual marital problems of a side characters who are not that interesting.
Ending saves the episode from being a 2 to a 4.
