It was slow & boring & the characters were not interesting at all & the movie fell flat Yochanan reviewed the 20 episodes of the animated 'Star Trek: Prodigy' season 1, rescued by Netflix & he found the stories to be 'SO good!' with engaging characters & a great Star Trek show & highly recommended. Rick followed & says it was a surprise & delight, all season long. see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9795876/ and Yochanan reviewed 'Doom Patrol' on Amazon Prime as very different, with a lot of profanity. He liked it even though it rambles a bit over its 40 episodes. He found it to be a good show & recommends it. see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8416494/ and Yochanan reviewed a Netflix show called 'Scavengers Reign', as an animated show with 12 episodes. He really enjoyed it & is very glad he watched it. see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21056886/ Ken reviewed North Dakota as ... 'a state'. It's flat, very flat & they were visiting an oil town, so not an electric car or charging station to be seen. He described their hotel as a water park with a hotel built around it.
