Nevada Wild (Animal Planet) Rated NR

 The show follows Nevada wildlife and game wardens as they protect resources, laws, and emergencies. Starring Nate LaHue, Kari Huebner, and John Anderson.

I love that Animal Planet has gotten on the bandwagon of law enforcement of wildlife. It’s the best of both worlds: animals and the law. You get the humans breaking ithe rules and the animals that need rescue. While at times the law does seem absurd and can be annoying, the moments when they rescue the animals are heartwarming. The show covers all aspect of wildlife protection, and you never know what might happen. This series is worth the watch.

New Orleans: Soul of a City (2025) Rated NR

A documentary about New Orleans 20 years after Katrina, highlighting its culture in music, food, and traditions. Starring Wendell Pierce, Louis Armstrong, and James Carville.

CNN isn’t the best place to get your information; however, this series does provide some valuable details, while at times it’s biased, which isn’t surprising. The information doesn’t go in depth on the history of New Orleans, so if the series has a time limit, it won’t highlight everything. It’s interesting to see one of the most historical cities of the US highlighted, and it’s a joy to watch it come back after destruction to be just as vibrant as it was before. It hasn’t changed much since I last visited, which was before Katrina. This series is worth the watch.

Next Level Baker (FOX) Rated NR

 A holiday baking competition where contestants compete on levels to become the next level baker. Starring Chloe Sexton, Zoha Malik, and Deirdra Lambright.

Having been a fan of Next Level Chef, I was happy to see this show bringing the same level of competition with the mix of holiday treats. I always enjoy Chef Ramsay, but it is nice to have Carla Hall as well. Both of them make a great judging team while Candace Nelson is still learning the ropes of judging. They all give great advice to the contestants with encouragement on their baking needs. I hope this show will be a constant show during the holidays because it’s worth the watch.

NFL Classics: After Further Review (Vice) Rated NR

 NFL stars and celebrities rewatch iconic Football games giving insight and stories about the game. Starring Kyle Brandt, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Cedric the Entertainer.

This show is made for those who love football and all the greatest games and plays you can remember. Kyle Brandt hosts the show with both celebrity guests and NFL players (current and former). The series includes stats about the game and players. This show is ideal for anyone who loves the football and reliving the NFL moments that make the game. I, on the other hand, am not a huge fan, but I did enjoy watching the first episode with the Packers and reliving one of the best games. I can say that this show is worth the watch for those who love football, but for those who don’t, it’s a bit boring, making it not worth the watch.

No One Believed Me (2025) Rated TV-14

 A woman escapes a kidnapping, but once she returns home, no one believes her until she’s kidnapped again. Starring Meghan Carrasquillo, William McKinney, and Jessica Morris.

What true event inspired this film? I don’t think this really happened as it would have made the news. As usual with Lifetime films, the writing isn’t the best, and people don’t make logical decisions. In fact, I really thought Amy was the one with the brains in this film until she was kidnapped the second time and started showing signs of Stockholm Syndrome. Wow, not so smart. The film also never gave the reason why her kidnapper wanted her. The film just didn’t seem to have a reason for anything. This film was not worth the watch.

On Brand with Jimmy Fallon (NBC) Rated TV-PG

 A marketing reality show, where a group of marketers vie for a title. Starring Lauren Karwoski, Bianca Fernandez, and Mahiri Takai.

This show isn’t a bad show. It brings in marketers to showcase their talents. Although, the show hardly includes any process of the marketers planning of their pitches. I wish they included this since I’m not always sure of the reason the companies pick the idea they go with. There isn’t a voting procedure either. While I believe there is a niche for this show, it isn’t an original format. It would’ve been more interesting to watch the creative side of the pitch and concept rather than just the emotions. This series is not worth the watch.

Date My Dad (Up TV) Rated TV-PG

A widowed father makes it his goal to be the best dad to his three girls while the daughters’ goal is to find their dad a girlfriend. Starring Audrey Smallman, Raquel Welch, and Barry Watson.

This is like the shows of the 80s and 90s. It has a strong moral message. While the story and acting aren’t bad, the show has the feel of old-time sitcom. The network knows what will work for their channel, but the show does have its problems. Its pacing, which would have worked 20 to 30 years ago, could be faster. The story needs to move more quickly. Then you have characters – they are caricatures of personalities and are annoying. This show is not worth the watch.

Amazing Winter Romance (2020) Rated TV-G

 A journalist heads home to find inspiration for work while reconnecting with her childhood friend. Starring Jessy Schram, Marshall Williams, and Zoe Fish. 

This film had a lot of potential. For instance, I enjoy Jessy Schram as one of the Hallmark darlings. She is a “girl next door” type, and Marshall Williams is more of the “boy next door” type than the boy out of your league. It’s obvious that his character likes Schram’s character more than she likes him throughout the film. We do get a glimpse of her jealously during the film, but I’m not sold on her love for him. That’s due to the writing more than the acting. Aso, the chemistry between the two isn’t really there – I think Williams tried, but it just wasn’t there. This film is not worth the watch.
