Mr. Mercedes (2017–2019)

Loved the first series but oh what happened in series 2 ?

[4/10 · 26 October 2018]

After watching the first series last year I couldn't wait for the second to start but what a disappointment it is so far. I loved the characters and the screenplay was exciting with the cat and mouse interplay between the ex detective and the psychopath both brilliantly played by Gleeson and Treadaway. However we now have the psychopath lying in a hospital bed attempting to get even with the good guy by taking over various weak hospital workers by the power of thought ....Really ? Not for me and very disappointing

Negative (I) (2017)

Don't worry about spoilers nothing happens with this dross

I watch a lot of movies and I like to give them all a chance just in case there is something interesting or exciting to warrant a viewing Unfortunately this movie has none of these features it is pointless and offers nothing in the way of story line,acting or direction The plot is non-existent with the actors just going through the motions and the dialogue is sooo boring its embarrassing. I wish the previous reviewers had posted earlier as this would have saved me 95 mins of my time

Extortion (2017)

Pretty good thriller that delivers despite a few plot holes

[8/10 · 2 July 2017]

I really enjoyed this movie which I assume was a low budget straight to Netflix production The movie is based on a true story which is interesting in itself and provided you can turn a blind eye to some dodgy plot twists it is a fast paced thriller with lots of action that keeps you guessing until the end. The cinematography is excellent with beautiful shots of the Caribbean islands just off the coast of Puerto Rico where the film was made and the actors including Danny Glover give good performances. Special mention must go to the director Phil Volken who has only directed a handful of movies so far however I was impressed by this effort and look forward to his next offering

The Americans: The World Council of Churches (2017) Season 5, Episode 12

Soooo Disappointing

OMG !!! I have been waiting for this season to spark into life yet here we are nearly at the finale and its become a damp squib The writing for this season has been awful and the new characters are just plain boring and as for the wheat story plot its embarrassing I just love this series and more effort is needed for the next one or I will be an ex fan.
