To Appomattox (2015– )

This listing is a hoax posted; failed Kickstarter

[1/10 · 22 May 2018]

At Rhode Island Comicon and a Supernatural convention, I asked Richard Speight Jr. and Billy Zabka about this project, for which they are both listed. They said they never heard of it and had absolutely no involvement in it. This is a fantasy casting by a deluded man who started a failed 2014 Kickstarter campaign. This IMDB listing was an attempt at legitimacy.

The Redeeming (2018)

Rave reviews all from new accounts with one review

[1/10 · 1 May 2018]

Seriously, every single positive review is from a new account with only one posted review, which all are somewhat similar and posted with days of each other. I tried to watch the film but it's so amateurish, it became unbearable. IMDB really needs to figure out how to manage what are obviously shill reviews from people involved with a production. Suggestion to those who post shill or fake reviews: cover your tracks by reviewing more than just your film and attempt some diversity with account names.

The Detail (2018)

Scott & Bailey remake minus the talent

[4/10 · 24 April 2018]

A middling Canadian remake of UK's Scott & Bailey minus the charismatic actors and strong writing. The original's creator - the brilliant Sally Wainwright - has a purely contractual executive producer credit and a few of her scripts are given downgraded re-writes, but it's the terrible casting that really hurts this new production. Wendy Crewson - in an undeveloped supporting role as police captain - is fine, as is David Cubitt, but the two leads are absolutely forgettable, even if they are under-served by the show's writing staff. (Yes, the mostly female writing staff is just as hacky as any mostly/all-male writing staff.)

Lost in Space (2018–2021)

Great, family-friendly throwback to hopefull sci-fi of '60s & '70s.

[10/10 · 13 April 2018]

A wholesome family show that is rated TV-PG, the new Lost in Space is a big-budget throwback to the hopeful sci-fi of the '60s & '70s. I know that readers often accuse IMDB reviews of being shills or crew members, but it works the other way as well. I gave this show a 10, when it's probably a solid 8 to balance out the obvious alt-right haters who claim to have watched 20 minutes and turned it off. This show is hardly PC. Updated and modern, but not PC. I noticed a ton of similarities in the absurdly negative reviews, leading me to believe that many are written by the same person with a weird grudge against a TV show that no own is forcing them to watch.
