Palm Royale (2024)
Fun, but over the top and bad ending
I've gone back and forth between liking and not liking this show. On one hand I really wanted to like it, as the cast, wardrobe, and sets are so good. And I do think the show can be hilarious at times. The show can be a bit over the top, which can be off putting. But I can usually can over silly little plot oddities, but the ending to this first season was just downright awful. It's like the writers of this show wanted to make an Uber Shonda Rhimes drama laden version of the white lotus, with over the top humor. It's bizarre, but I did enjoy most of it. They're just trying way too hard. And again, what an absolute dumpster fire the final episode is.
Foundation (2021)
Has its moments. But poor writing.
Way too long to develop or go anywhere in the story. Every episode ends in a cliff hanger. Which is fine, if they would release a full season at a time. But it's infuriating to feel like the story should have progressed way further than it has, instead you have people sitting around doing nothing for long stretches at a time. I feel like I'm just wasting my time watching this show. I bet in 5 years, it will be worth watching, but right now, save your time and watch something else. I don't have a problem with weekly releases, but when the story never goes anywhere, it becomes far less interest.
