Instant Reviews: Minority Report/Scream Queens/Limitless/Life In Pieces

Minority Report (FOX) Review:

This whole gimmicky pre-crime I-want-to-save-the-world type shows are overdone. This series brought nothing new to the table and by the time the episode was halfway in, I was out.

3/10

Update: As of 13 May 2016, FOX cancelled Minority Report

Scream Queens (FOX) Review:

I heard so many fantastic things about this series that I couldn't wait to try it. Apparently I am the only person in the world who thought it was a disaster. It claims to be a "horror comedy" but the only horror I found in it was that someone actually gave this series a green light. I am a fan of both horror and comedy genres from the classics right through to current series however this series isn't funny nor is it scary. Another thing to consider is the fact that they picked the WRONG network for their target demographic. They should have either went with MTV or CW or ABCFamily, any network that targets teenagers and young adults. The other Scream series (Scream) which aired on the MTV network ran for a successful first season and has already been renewed BECAUSE they used a network that targeted their demographic audience. If doesn't matter that Scream Queens has a ton of talented and well known actors/actresses because it's on the WRONG network. Not even Jamie Lee Curtis can save this doomed series.

Limitless (CBS) Review:

I didn't hate the pilot episode but I don't feel like the series can last very long (which is why it was originally made into a movie). The premise is basically a guy is confused, guy takes super pills that make him very smart, focused and gets things accomplished, guy comes down from the pills and get sick and realizes that he's an idiot without them, guy takes another pill to get back his focus and the pattern continues...

5/10

Life In Pieces (CBS) Review:

There is an acronym to sum up this ENTIRE pilot episode, TMI. This whole episode was a bunch of real life situations pushed so far to the extreme that I started to wonder if the world had lost it's mind. I'm not a prude by any means but talking about sticking a cold frozen glove finger up a ripped vagina after birth and a father telling his college-bound son a story about losing his virginity when his penis ended up between two couch cushions instead of in a girl were just uncomfortable and awkward to watch. The only ironic part in this whole episode was when the father climbs into his casket to "try it out" and gets trapped in there because dead and buried is what lies ahead for this series. 

1/10
