La Brea

 

Natalie Zea (Justified) is a mom who gets sucked into the middle of the earth - I guess - when a sink hole opens up in LA. Turns out her estranged husband was also there when he disappears in battle. They have a link. There are dinosaurs and of course every person in the hole with has a secret. Who can be trusted? It felt predictable and was uninteresting. All in all, I say: SKIP IT

Mix-ish

 



The is a prequel to the tv show Black-ish which focuses on the childhood of the mom. Her family deals with being "mixed" in the 80s. I watched a couple of episodes. It was okay. I never really watched Black-ish, so I wasn't invested. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you're a die hard fan of Black-ish.

CSI: Vegas

 

New group meets the old group to help free a colleague from being framed, and all their past cases from being overturned. I tried - I gave it about 1-2 episodes, but it was too different. And...I was bored. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you were a die hard fan. I wasn't.

Doug Days

 

Yup, it's Doug from Disney Pixar's Up. He is now in a one pet household and it's his job to protect the yard. In this series he battles fires, squirrels, and life in a quiet neighborhood. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Foundation

 

Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) is the Emperor and Jared Harris (Mad Men) is the prophet in the series on Apple based Isaac Asimov's series. There are time jumps, spies, religious zealots, believers, non-believers, and alien in the vast galactic tale. I never read the series, but so far it's complex and interesting. The special effects and acting are awesome. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Blush

 

An astronaut and an alien fall in love in the animated short on Apple TV. It's cute and sad. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Finding Alice

 Keeley Hawes (The Durrells) stars as a window trying to figure out her recently deceased husbands secrets - of which there are many. She is a good actress, but all the break downs are a lot. I know her character is a widow, but I got annoyed with the crying and complaining. It's on Acorn. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
