Stay Close (2021)
A soapy no stone left unturned mess.
Set in what has got to be a made up idyllic always sunny place where no one works for a living yet can flutter in massive open plan kitchens with entire roof skylights! Some acting talent absolutely wasted on a extremely lazy dialogue. I've never seen worse from James Nesbit and Sarah parish... So much is happening throughout yet the constant question is what are they actually doing. It's takes the mind some catching up to put the pieces together and even then it's not really that eventful. Team Rockets Jesy and James from Pokemon making that spectacular entrance is just the cherry on this giant mushy cake LMAO
Ill praise it for reaching so far it's touching the Southern Hemisphere and congratulate everyone who's completed this 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
Fear the Walking Dead: Padre (2021)
Disconnected.
What to even say at this point... I mean, if the season had lead to this episode it would have made it so much greater. Then again if last season had lead to the nuke storyline instead of it being boxed into 3 episodes it would have made loads more sense. I feel like a whole season has happened off screen and we the audience has been put on random episode shuffle! It's a mess! Most of the cast aren't even present anymore but morgan seems to be everywhere at all times!
All I can say is I hope the return of Madison restores this back to what it once was. I'd be completely down for a 4b reboot to be honest! I can easily forget the last 3 years. How did that Virginia rubbish get nearly two seasons?!!!
Coming Out Colton (2021)
It's deeper than you think...
Certainly wasn't expecting a lesson in my own self by by watching his story. He's made some monumental mistakes and you can easily say he doesn't deserve this platform, however, there's an amount of sympathy that I can lend to his situation having gone through similar in my own journey (not to that extent!) This is a show that I can imagine helping people in their own path especially people torn with religion and being who they were born to be.
Fear the Walking Dead: The Beacon (2021)
He had potential
This new guy had serious potential to make this show interesting again. As much as I don't like strand, he's more tolerable than morgan but I am starting to lose it with the focus on his character now too. Alycia has been hard done by since Kim dickens left. As an actress she should be mad about that. It should be her show.
Fear the Walking Dead: Six Hours (2021)
Just horrible
Seriously HORRIBLE. How much longer do we have to tolerate Morgan and this lazy script episode after episode. Madison had better come back at some point this season. It's on its last legs. If it gets a season 8 it absolutely needs needs the original show runners.
Fear the Walking Dead: Cindy Hawkins (2021)
I deeply miss the old days S1-3
Nothing much to say just waiting for something to change. Maybe it's time to finally give the crap up
What the hell is this show now... it used to be so epic.
Another Life: D-Day (2021)
This season was a huge improvement with a satisfying conclusion
I'm one of the many people who stayed on this train because of Katee Sakhoff and the love of the genre. I was bitterly disappointed with season one for all the reasons everyone is already said. With that, it was abundantly clear that a cast shake up was ordered with all those character deaths in the first two episodes! The right characters though?... beside the point. The season had no filler! S2 played out to what I see as a conclusion of the series as I think it's highly unlikely Netflix will renew it again. The final episode was actually great. Everything wrapped up nicely.
Midnight Mass (2021)
INCREDIBLE !!!!
I have never seen a show that's dialogue hits so deep... it was simply stunning. Like someone actually came up with that. It's mind blowing.
I'm so mad at the people who chose to write a bad review of this show, you are the absolute worst type of critic! If you want to jump go watch the conjuring for the 20th time and leave the reviews to people willing to give this show the praise it absolutely deserves.
American Horror Story: Winter Kills (2021)
A Waste of 5 good episodes
37 minutes to finish a story that really should have been at least 3 more episodes. This is typical Ryan Murphy who's done this with multiple AHS seasons and Ratchet. The first 5 episodes were about to make this one of AHS best seasons but after that finale, it's one of the worst.
Fear the Walking Dead: Sleigh Ride (2017)
A Masterclass In good television.
FTWD season 3 was ultimately one of the best series of any tv show I have ever watched. Unfortunately this is where the series ended. Unless these same show runners decide to take back what's theirs for the upcoming season 7, do not watch on from this point. Cherish these 3 good years so you remember this show for how great it is (was)
The Voyeurs (2021)
WHAT AN ENDING!!!
Albeit I was a little skeptical of the plot after watching the trailer and a big eye roll thinking to myself 'this has been done already... to death' however, the impressive cast drew me in to giving this a chance and MY GOD I am glad I did. What starts off as a 2021 erotic remake of rear window very abruptly turns into something in its own class. A visually impressive take on the danger of obsession and it's direct consequences. Do not sleep on this one. That ending! My holy Jesus that ending.
Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror (2021)
Harrowing
I'm not sure I understand the reviews from individuals calling out this documentary for favouring Obama and the liberal agenda. It very precisely points out the grave mistakes made by America at the time and through the decades including Obama's authorised drone attacks and George bush's needless decision to invade Iraq and botch's decision to keep Guatemala open as a torture camp. I don't find this to be in any way bias toward any party. Instead, it tells the viewer exactly what they did. It very much focuses on the devastating consequences of said actions. It's extremely painful to watch. A full circle scale of events from America effectively creating the Taliban to 9-11 and after.
Manifest: Mayday: Part 2 (2021)
The religious undertones of this season are front and centre
I've had so many thoughts on the many flaws with this show. What started off (and still is) a very intriguing idea, very quickly turned sour with the constant melodrama filler. 3 seasons in I feel too invested to stop but season 3 has lead me to this review. If it wasn't bad enough in the first two seasons, these show runners have introduced god to the cast... not a mention of religion in the prior seasons yet all of a sudden, gods the main character. I felt like I was watching a church approved kids entertainment show for Sunday school. Like what the hell! I'm used to to the terrible acting at this point but the lack of consistency in tone has thrown me this season. With that, the finale was ok. Even though the one good actor was seemingly killed off! Netflix better had stomp this religious crap for the final season and give this characters some grit to go out with. 20 episodes of passenger of the week is not what this show needs but after what's they've done for 3 years I'm not sure it even deserves a satisfying end!
Fear the Walking Dead: The Beginning (2021)
A bit of a mess but at least watchable
I really wanted this season to be consistent with its strong start. I feel like Virginia should have gone with season 5 and the whole nuclear missile mini storyline with the amazing John glover was a whole seasons worth crammed into a few episodes. It was a mess if I'm honest. I can't say I've not enjoyed the whole thing but we cannot pretend that just because the show runners stepped up a small (tiny) notch, that the show is back to its season 3 brilliance. It's not. Man I wish Morgan would just stay dead.
Fear the Walking Dead: Things Left to Do (2021)
This was a good episode!!!
Without spoiling anything, I am completely ready for June to lead this series now and for Morgan to disappear so we can start forgetting about his relentless dullness!!!! This would have been another type of review had it not been for Her. Come through June!!!!
Skylines (2020)
It's Ok. not as diabolical as some of these reviews
I love Lindsay Morgan as an actress and was excited to see this after being more than impressed with 'beyond skyline'. Whilst this third instalment continues its impressive visual effects (for its budget), I'll be very honest, it's not the final part I would have hoped for. Maybe it was the absence of frank grillo or the huge amount of flash backs (which could have been whole other movie) it's just wasn't all that consistent. Still, it's enjoyable if you liked the first two. I can't be mean and rate this super low as there was a decent effort for quality here - as with the other two. Acting is actually good. Just a flat conclusion and quite forgettable. It's a shame.
The Mosquito Coast: The Glass Sandwich (2021)
This is a season finale!
It was an awesome episode, I personally like the slow burn of this one and knowing that this is going into season two makes not fully knowing what they are running from easier to digest. Seriously Loved this episode.
Cruella (2021)
Best modern live action yet
Emma stone was amazing in this I was so surprised with how much I like this movie. Especially the mid credit scenes!
WandaVision (2021)
Come on, it deserves a 10!
I've seen everything marvel, and the movies again in chronological order... I'm not a huge fan boy but I I've found the whole thing entertaining. Not amazing just entertaining. Now wandavision is something else. It's very different to what everyone is used to, and for the better. MCU is at this point so predictable, the movies have lost any spark that phase one brought. I'll go as far as to say this show is the best outing of any MCU effort.
Wrong Turn (2021)
I would have rated it a 10 if they called it Something else!
Went in with low expectations and I was completely thrown with how good this movie was! Lets get it's straight, THIS IS NOT WRONG TURN, the only similarity to the 2003 movie is the setting but other than that, it's another movie and a complete cop out to call it a reboot! This is a movie that deserved recognition in its own right. Very highly recommended, please do the put off by the name.
Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
This was a very nice surprise
I've read reviews complaining about the length but seriously who cares how long it is when it's this much fun... I chose this on a whim and was completely entertained throughout. Great movie.
RuPaul's Drag Race: Grand Finale (2021)
2/10 is probably too generous
There's so much I could complain about on this episode. I'm not going to disagree with the winner as it was deserved HOWEVER the runner up was a kick in the face for every fan of this show. We are done with these pre-recorded manipulated finales, Just make the show live it's beyond fake! The acted reactions are so cringeworthy. ONE highlight of this mess was the helicopter that popped out of symones beehive. I honestly thought it was a drone and was gonna carry her wig off but was again disappointed when that never happened!
Relic (2020)
Beautifully shot
I really did like the cinematography here however despite the few really tense scenes, there's too many plot holes in this movie. I was left with so many questions. The my great grandad was a loon making us think there was something eerie about him and the old house he lived in. A couple of flash backs and a drawing them nothing. Literally a whole other house hidden in the wall, not explained. Dark stalker shadow person not explained and grandma turns into an black alien, not explained.
Them: Covenant I. (2021)
The hardest thing I've ever had to watch
As far as acting and continuous gripping storytelling goes this episode is a solid 10 but... I'll never be watching this again. This one scene was the hardest thing to watch and I felt like I needed to turn it off but then I'd feel guilty for not sticking with it knowing that this is part of the despicable American history. These are fictionalise versions of real people who had to go through this and to some extent continue to do so. I'll never be able to forget this.
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
let's just be honest now people!
Whilst this wasn't the best show I've ever seen, I know I am not alone when I say that ending completely threw me! There's no way anyone of you saw that coming! It deserves a watch if you're on the fence.
