When Woody Allen was asked at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival about his Amazon TV show Crisis in Six Scenes, the filmmaker was blunt: “It was a catastrophic mistake for me.” One could easily shrug Allen’s statement off as just a bit of trademark self-deprecation — the filmmaker has stated that he’s never happy with any of his films, after all. But it turns out Mr. Allen wasn’t joking: his six-part Amazon show is, indeed, a catastrophe: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/tv/tv-reviews/crisis-six-scenes-will-disappoint-even-die-hard-woody-allen-fans/

I think his films lately have been a mixed bag aside from "Blue Jasmine," which was excellent, but this series was refreshingly good.
