In this episode of Streaming Wars, host Colin Chisholm implores you to skip the heavily marketed Nine Perfect Strangers on Amazon Prime Video.

The show, which has an incredibly stacked cast, can’t establish what it’s going for, what it’s about or simply pick a lane. It trips over its inability to focus and suffers for it. There are better things out there.

Making the most out of a less-than-perfect show or movie.

Streaming Wars columnist Colin Chisholm came to realize that the duality of good and bad is too limiting, whether that’s referring to characters like Disney’s incredibly charismatic Loki — or the content itself.

Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar and Wonder Woman 1984, films available on Crave with Movies + HBO, being perfect examples of this — both are rough as a whole, but still have some redeeming qualities.
