Fool Me Once (2024)
WHY do the characters say each others names every second sentence??
Think about it, if you're speaking with someone, are you constantly saying their name 10 times per short conversation? It's unnatural, unnecessary and weird- and only one symptom of this awful script.
The lead actress wasn't suited to the role either.
I'm not sure why all the Harlan Coben TV series are so awful, is it the books themselves, or is it the process of adapting them to TV?
All in all, disappointing. I really wanted to like this.

The Couple Next Door (2023)
What a waste of good actors
What an absolute waste of good actors.
It was poorly executed, poorly written, poorly directed.
It felt like they didn't want to know which direction to take with the plot. Oh, and what is with the script? Describing it as pedestrian would be an overstatement. It was so flat, so banal, so basic.
I really wanted to like this, I like a few of the actors and other shows they've been in. But this show did them a massive disservice.
I think I read this was adapted from a book? Not sure if that's true but hopefully the book is a better read! :D
Oh- and that location is supposed to be Leeds? Hahahahaha.
The Silence (2010)
What is with the script???
Such wasted talent! Superb actors, working with a god awful script, such a shame!
It is an interesting story, and interesting premise, and could have been done really well.
The bizarre anger the uncle has, targeted at literally everyone- what is that all about??? And constantly saying the same lines to Amelia over and over again, "are you telling me the truth"- it just comes across as odd and misplaced.
The whole thing is messy.

Derry Girls (2018)
Absolutely cracker
There needs to be more. Please!. This show is so incredibly done, and every single character (and actor) is perfect. I've rewatched all episodes so many times and will continue to do so :)
