Palmer
Palmer can be somewhat predictable, but this cast gives it something more that makes it worth watching and makes the viewer wish it was longer.

The Little Things
While Hancock’s script ends with a few plot twists, it simply is choppy and laden with subplots that are left unformed.
Season One, Episode One
Tudyk is a seasoned actor who has chameleon-like skills allowing him to morph into numerous characters and these skills are readily apparent in Resident Alien.
Saint Maud
While Saint Maud is categorized as a horror/thriller, I found it to be more a drama about a delusional and mentally ill woman who turns to religion as a way to cope.
Snowpiercer
Connelly is well cast as the often necessarily hard but all too human head of the train.
WandaVision
As expected, the production values are excellent, and the writing is solid, even cheeky at moments, and witty.
One Night In Miami
King offers an intimate view of this fictional, fated evening while also offering the audience a broader view of the country at that time.
Locked Down
HBO Max brings a little bit of humor and a “look on the bright side” of quarantine life to Locked Down.
The Craft: Legacy
Zoe Lister-Jones pays homage to the 1996 movie with Easter eggs sprinkled throughout however, the story never gets fully fleshed out leaving the audience a little unsatisfied and somewhat confused.
The Midnight Sky
As a director, Clooney has some strong moments followed by some less than stellar ones (pun intended).
