I love you! I need you! Help me!

Adam Sandler: Love You — 2.5/5

The Safdie Brother, whichever one, has infused this with a sense of falseness. I haven't been able to finish watching the last season of How To With John Wilson ever since I read that the stories aren't as true as they feel. I know comedy is a lie. I know that comedians lie. But I need the illusion. There's nothing Sandler says here that plays with truth or lies to then warrant the way the Brother handles it. Sandler may fit into his world, but the opposite does not serve as true.

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet.

Welcome to Wrexham, S3 — 3/5

I think in its latest season, it's become what it's always threatened to be: fine. Previous seasons have been able to avoid this by having one to two stellar episodes that seemed to bring all the stories together, highlighting the emotional underpinning of the whole endeavor. No such luck this time.
