I agree about the cartoonish schemes. I was disappointed as soon as I realized that setting Howard up was going to be such a big focus, and I don't really agree that Kim's hatred of him makes that much sense. My general issue is that they went too far with the characters. With Jimmy and Kim it was the over-the-top cons. Mike started out as a retired cop who was crafty, meticulous and good at weighing up situations. By the end he was an expert on literally everything. He always knew exactly what to do and what the other person would do no matter the situation. Between this and Jimmy predicting such specific reactions in cons it just became too much of the same. I can't think of a single time where Mike wasn't right other than maybe when he fell for Lalo's ploy to leave Gus unattended, but even then he was the one that said they should keep eyes on Jimmy's apartment and told Gus to stay at his house.
Speaking of Lalo, you saw a badass character but to me he was the real cartoon. Or I guess maybe more like a cartel version of Jason Bourne with how they used him. He somehow tricked the court system into believing he was someone else, escaped an ambush by trained killers and killed all of them, ended up tracking down specific people in Germany to get secret information, then managed to trick and kill his way through elaborate protection into being one on one with Gus. They even had to include the touch that Gus was shot in his body armor to show that Lalo was such a badass that he would have killed him otherwise. It just felt like a different show with his character. I had the same problem when the Salamanca brothers just walked into a warehouse and killed everyone with zero preparation. It seemed like lazy ways to create "cool villains."
But she said she heard shots and claimed there was a new bullet hole when he was there the entire night. So we're left to believe that she was either scared/paranoid or some people in this thread think she was purposely trying to manipulate him into helping her move. I don't think there was any evidence in the series to make me think it was the latter, but either way we know that it wasn't really happening.
I can't imagine anyone watching this movie and not realizing the son is supposed to be blind.
I disagree that there's nothing to indicate that he was lying to protect her. He told the story about his father after Marge said he needs to decide what to believe. Before that he needed to do the "experiment" with his dog because at that point he wasn't sure what to believe. Even after the initial relief in his face when he finds out she was acquitted the reality seems to come back to him. He has his mother back but he still doesn't know what happened. In his last scene he's saying he was afraid for her to come home. Not literally afraid of her obviously but afraid of never knowing for sure.
I'm not saying any of this means she is guilty but I do believe he made the decision to save her.
I understand why you're saying that since it was a weird decision to have Olivia Cooke in a role that doesn't really go anywhere and then die off so quickly, but that scenario also wouldn't make sense. Taverner has plenty of people who will do whatever she wants that aren't clinging to life after getting shot in the head.
I agree it doesn't necessarily mean anything about the quality of the movie, but I don't know if I'd say "most actors" don't watch their own work.
Then why do you care if this movie gets awards or not? It'd be one thing if it was getting them over something you think deserved it more, but you apparently just hate everything.
Also Aleida is too emotionally damaged to go back to work at NASA but within what seems to be a matter of weeks she's pretty much running Helios herself. It's like how Karen somehow went from a housewife to a CEO. I don't know if it's wokeness as much as trying to force all of the main characters and their families into every situation. I'm sure if they keep making more seasons then Aleida, Kelly and Danielle's kids will somehow factor into every mission. They'll have Ed's corpse flying to one of Saturn's moons.
You actually have it backwards. Aleida asked to stay with Margo and she said no. So she was completely on her own all of those years until we see her again.
You might actually like the third and fourth seasons. You're still getting some of the soap opera stuff but a lot more space than the first couple of seasons.
