Cindy Busby is a big disappointment to me - she was actually good in
Lifetime thrillers, and she's generally *bad* in Hallmark romances, but
she's abandoned doing the former and only does the latter now.

I guess I'm done with her!

Heh - I like shawn's opinion on this. OTOH, it's only 70 mins long,

I like Bristow.

But UPtv (along with TeenNick, and some of my Showtime channels) are
*low-def* on my Spectrum cable, and on the new TV I have discovered
that the "low-def" channels are basically unwatchable!!

If they could promise me that the influencer dies a horrible, violent
death, then I'd be on board with this movie, but it sounds like the
influencer is the hero of this piece and will end up being the battered
but triumphant survivor.

She was some sort of roving host at an awards show, and went down to the
audience and asked Bill Cosby why he had been successful, but it sounded
like she was saying Mushu Mushu, cool shoe to shoe to which Cosby replied
“we spoke English“

No one truly hates Ian or they would have him watching the CW and only
the CW. 24x7 CW.

Note: Looks like Tubi slipped in another one under Robin's nose:

"Hidden Exposure" was released on Tubi either on Tues., May 23 or Wed.,
May 24 (I'm not 100% sure with, though it seems like it might have been
May 23).
