a comical, shallow romp with Eros and Psyche, "Don Juan DeMarco" (1994) never catches its breath of life.

"Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993) seemed to really hit its stride in episode 7 of its 1st season. (Nonetheless start at the beginning!)

"Dead Ringers" (1988) is a paper boat stuck in an eddy; we keep waiting for it to break free and go somewhere, eventually losing interest.
