TV Review: The Neighborhood

By

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps Calvin in line.  Some of

Documentary Series Review: Somebody Feed Phil

Somebody Feed Phil Netflix SEASON 5 PREMIERE May 25, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Philip Rosenthal's (creator of Everybody Loves Raymond) personality is incredible.  What a positive human being.  He’s always happy.  I love it.  In his documentary series, Phil eats random food worldwide and loves it.  He’s not an expert but he's highly entertaining and enjoys meeting new people.   In Season 5, Phil travels to five different countries to try their food and learn about their culture.  Each episode is delightful and easy to watch.  You might even want to travel after watching the series. Directed by John Bedolis Presented by Philip Rosenthal No. of seasons 5 No. of episodes 22  Season 1 Bangkok S1, Ep1 12 Jan. 2018 My Rating: 8/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating 78% Saigon S1, Ep2 12 Jan. 2018 My Rating: 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating 75% Tel Aviv S1, Ep3 12 Jan. 2018 My Rating: 7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating 70% Lisbon S1, Ep4 1

TV Series Review: Deadloch

By

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre. It’s a compelling mystery with The Kates’ signature humour, and explores themes of truth, misogyny, gender, and race. The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama (Utopia),

Burning Body Netflix Release date September 8th, 2023 Description May 2017. The charred remains of police officer Pedro (José Manuel Poga) are found inside a burnt-out car at Barcelona's Foix reservoir. The discovery quickly arouses the public's interest, especially when the investigation begins to reveal a network of toxic relationships, deceit, violence and sexual scandals involving Pedro and two fellow police officers: his partner Rosa (Úrsula Corberó) and her ex-boyfriend Albert (Quim Gutiérrez).

How I Met Your Father Bays Thomas Productions/The Walk-Up Company/20th Television Disney Platform Distribution Hulu #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) In How I Met Your Father on Hulu , future Sophie (Kim Cattrall in 2050) is telling her son the story of how she met his father.  It all started in 2021 Sophie played by Hilary Duff and her friends are trying to figure out love and life.  In my opinion, it's best to treat this as a new story instead of comparing it to " How I Met Your Mother ".  Social Media #Hulu #Disney #HowIMetYourFather #HowIMetYourMother #HilaryDuff #HuluSeries Created by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger Inspired by How I Met Your Mother by Carter Bays & Craig Thomas Starring Hilary Duff as Sophie Christopher Lowell as Jesse Walker Francia Raisa as Valentina Suraj Sharma as Sid Tom Ainsley as Charlie Tien Tran as Ellen Gilbert Kim Cattrall as future Sophie Composer Jeff Cardoni Executive producers Isaac Aptaker &

American Fiction Orion Pictures, MRC Film, T-Street Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Release date September 8, 2023 (TIFF) November 17, 2023 My Rating   8/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating   75% Running time 117 minutes Description AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Written for the Screen and Directed by   Cord Jefferson Based upon the novel ‘Erasure’ by  Percival Everett Genres Comedy/Drama Starring Jeffrey Wright as Thelonious "Monk" Ellison Tracee Ellis Ross Erika Alexander Leslie Ugga

Buster made a promise to Crystal that he will produce a sci-fi show featuring legendary rock star Cal Calloway (Bono).  He has not been seen in 15 years. Can Ash (Johannsson) and Buster convince Galloway to perform at the show?
