This just a personal reminder of comedians I like watching the most, and the list will be updated over time..
Rakhee Morzaria as Camille Pham in Run the Burbs
Lauren Ash as Lexi in Not Dead Yet
Guillermo Villegas as Teniente Edson Prieto in Harina
My list of favorite modern comedians..
Moody O'Neil played by Tina Lifford..
The scene starts with Moody O'Neil relaxing on her porch, knowing that death coming her, she doesn't try to hide or run away, she says she wore the best dress she got to welcome it and even waiting for it, not only that, she's holding the weapon that she used to commit the murder..
Damn I love this scene and Tina Lifford's acting is perfect for such badass character.
Willy played by Ivan Mbakop
Willy is the personal cook of Bass Reeves, he accompanied him when he went to arrest Moody O'Neil, finding that Moody O'Neil shouldn't be executed, he decided to do the honorable and right thing, not the safe thing by sitting doing nothing, for him, law and justice are two different things, following your moral when it goes against the law is the ultimate test for him, and he was ready to pay the price for what he did, waited till Bass Reeves woke up, facing him, showing him how his action, despite being lawful it's immoral and despicable, and when Bass Reeves describe him being coward, he confronts him on how he's playing safe, going against what being moral just to appease to those who have power and making his life easier on living hell, while Willy is the one going against what he finds wrong to matter the consequences, for him if Moody O'Neil shouldn't be in prison, he would give his life to set her free.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves: Just found my favorate charcters in the show
In 2023 show Back To Reality AKA La vida después del reality Marcela played by Margarita Ortega, a perfect mother that take care of her family and her health, and apply to a reality show where athletes compete with each others to win a contest.
As Marcela had to go away, she told her best friend Laura played by Natalia Betancurt to take care of her son Manolo played by Leonardo Angelone as he always get himself in trouble, Manolo got a crush on Laura and went to her home asking her to let him stay the night claiming that he had a fight with his father, and ended up having sex with his mother's best friend that was supposed to look after him lol.
Now in the reality show, the show faces trouble, as it loses viewers, not because it's horrible or the players are bad-looking, but because they are perfect, perfect body perfect characters, basically they are too good that they became boring, no one talk or care about them to check them out, so the show-runners came up with horrible idea of taking clips out of context to show that there's a love a story between unfaithful 45 years old wife and her young partner in the competition.
Back To Reality: the perfect show isn't perfect
Found is NBC drama show staring the beautiful actress Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely, Gabi Mosely is played by two actresses, Azaria Carter as teen Gabi, and Shanola Hampton as current Gabi.
The show tell us the story of Gabi Mosely abduction in flashback, and shows us that she manged to held her kidnapper as her own lapdog in the basement or something lol.
My problem with the show is that it's hard for me to fear for Gabi as a teen knowing that she eventually survived and triumphed, so, why would I care about things could've happened but I know it wouldn't happen anyway, maybe if they focused on another character that was kidnapped with her and we don't know how they ended, maybe then we can get attached emotionally with such character, but no, Gabi is the main focus in past and present.
Gabi end up with opening her own firm to find lost kids, some of her group suffered from losing their children too, but since it happened in the past too, and we don't connect with such character and feel the magnitude of the loss they faced, it also came up as flat, I mean, we can barely connect with the characters on the human level to care about them, let alone caring about their loss.
The problem with the cases Gabi take to find lost people, is that we only know about the victims after they get kidnapped, it we feel what the one took the case feel, not what the victim feels, which also water down the situation, it would be way much better if the episode started with the victims doing something we all do, like shopping, hanging out with their friends, then disappear, and replace the parts of Gabi as a teen, not because it's bad, but because it's ineffective as a flashback scenes, and would be much better if it was in real-time, it's good that they used the flashback scenes to serve the story go forward tho, where the past effect the future.
There is a scene from episode 7, we see the grandmother of the victim speak about how her granddaughter disappeared, like why don't you show us what happened instead of telling us afterwards?
I mean, at least they gave us an old photo of the victim, now it will feel personal!!
It's not really hard to make emotional story about such topic, all you have to do is to speak to people in real life who went through such tragedy, know the circumstances of the case, then show it to us on screen, other than that, we see such cases the same way cops see it, as a case number, someone come to report a missing person case, while if we see what happened before they won't became a number, they will be a relative or a friend the cop interacted with, and finding them is personal to him.
So, my question is, who should I care about? is it the main heroes who barely face any danger, is it the family of the missing person who we barely know, and report their missing loved ones in dry emotionless way, or the victims who we barely see towards the end of the episode!!
Now with the fake tension situations, like in the episode they question Charlie Rutledge played by Daniel Baldock, who is suspect in kidnapping his pregnant girlfriend Denae Wagon played by Emily Alabi, and the one question him with like, you have to talk or you gonna face the heroes, I mean, what are they gonna do? drown him in the toilet till he speaks, or Gabi gonna take him as human pet too!! It just seem like an empty threat that absolutely means nothing.
And BTW, the evil guy helping Gabi isn't that smart, he speaks more like a psychic and less like a psycho lol.
The ending of episode 7 was really good tho, I liked it, you should check it out.
I hope the show be more engaging over time, as the premise is actually good, I like the actors in the show too, they are making a good job, they just give more room to the people who they should save from danger, they are what the story about after all..
