The Rising 1x06
Neve is a POS. How can Neve dirtbike? Neve's mother acts like a crazy woman. Neve is selfish and primed for confrontation. This is utterly baffling. There is no character motivation. Why does Neve need to use doors? Will the dirty tramp father stop drinking? There is histrionics, false talk and manipulations. There is eye rolling, petulance and arrogance. There are hard living and deeply violent locals. The scummy drunk tramp father annoys.

Lea has to create calm out of chaos in this limited series. There is time travel in this subtitled drama. This was not a beautifully observed masterpiece.
Best Line:
“Never felt so alone.”

Memento Mori
There is a Starfleet Rememberance Day and a Gorn attack. Gorns eat warm blooded species. La'an is very La'an. The Gorn did something to an entire colony. The Gorn are unrelenting hunters in search of prey. Spock melds with La'an. They escape the Gorn, for now. This was okay.
Best Lines:
“Exploration can exact a heavy toil.”
“Rain on fire.”
“Gorn breeding planet.”
“As food for their hatchlings.”
“Walking feedbags.”
“We are prey.”
“No bodies just blood.”
“Throw luggage at them?”
“No ship left to save?”
“You're gonna bleed a lot.”
“Who says something like that?”
“Push the bondaries of what is known.”

Candy (2022) 1x01
Friday The 13th
Jessica Biel plays a real life axe murderer called Candy. It is the 1970s and there is sexism. Candy is liked, her victim Betty isn't. Candy who would be acquitted of the brutal axe murder of Betty after claiming self defence is now a therapist! Betty's own husband didn't care his wife was axe murdered. This was okayish.
Best Lines:
“I don't like when you leave.”
“May the fork be with you.”
