Not really all that awesome (although I've had a crush on the female lead here since the new Battlestar Galactica), but if you grew up in the mid to late '80s, you'll appreciate all the pop culture references they crammed into this one.  Incidentally, I never thought I'd say this, but Chris Katan is in fact totally awesome here.

I turned this off after 20 minutes (about 10 minutes real time since I was in 2x).  I looked it up just to see if I was missing something.  Nope.  Everyone on the internet agrees with me; it's in the IMDB Bottom 100.

You're only going to make it up to this disc if you love this series already, so I'm probably preaching to the choir here.

I'm surprised that the quality is holding up here when you'd think the series would have gotten stale.  It was never great, but somehow I've never been able to turn away even when there weren't gratuitous lesbian love scenes.

Unless you're following along with sheet music they don't bother to include with the Netflix rental here, you aren't going to learn jack just watching this.

Better than the first one, but that's not saying much.  They did at least start to mold the characters according to how they've always been written, something so classic in comicdom that it hardly seemed like I was seeing the FF in the first flick.  If they get that right next time around and have a decent story, then they'll really have something.

Meh.  Sometimes interesting lives don't necessarily translate into interesting life stories when they're put on the screen.

Picks up where the previous one left off, so it's more of the same only bolstered by some minor upheavals resulting from the end-of-season cliffhangers, but you know what I'm talking about since your history book is full of spoilers.

You know that great show Monk?  So do the producers here, and they try to capture its magic and fail in most regards.  The cast never gels and the premise (he's really a great detective but pretends to be a psychic because they'd never believe he's just a really really detective... huh?) is so worn after just a few episodes that you can tell it walks with a limp that it tried to disguise so as not to attract attention when fleeing the scene of the crime.

Still pretty good.

End of the season.  I loved it.  LOVED IT!  I'm not going to tell you how it wraps up, but I loved it.  LOVED IT!

This lures you in.  Be careful.  Mace won't help you either.

I only rented it because Judy Greer was in it and I want to marry her.  I can't say this movie was terrible, but it was so far from good that it (unintentionally, I'm sure) resembled the level of quality and cycle of artistic compromise it tried to lampoon so much that it shot itself in the foot.

Pretty good.  Pretty pretty good.
