Immigration Nation (2020)
A must watch for nations where nationalism and anti immigration policies are on the rise
While this documentary is based on ICE in the US over a number of years during the trump administration, there are parallels in attitudes that can be seen in policies across the globe in recent years. Other nations need to watch this and recognise our own wrongs in our own policies and law enforcement.
This is a documentary that makes you acknowledge law and humanity do not always align. As citizens It illustrates sometimes we need to lift our head above the parapet and really question what benefit certain legislation really provides and most importantly, to who!
The Stranger (2020)
Farfetched, amateur and awful
The show has lots of promise at the beginning but quickly turns into something totally unbelievable. The concept of the show could have been good if it was shortened into a movie, but it would still be nothing you haven't seen before.
For a thriller, it more often than not had me laughing at the preposterous storylines than any other kind of emotion. Characters were often injected into scenes where they just didn't belong giving away a lot of the shock twists that revealed themselves in the final two episodes.
The post production on this leaves something to be desired; with overly long scenes - which detract from the pace, a terrible score - which instead of building suspense give you a headache.
The only positive thing I can say is Siobhan Finnernan is as good as ever, carrying the rest of the cast who often left something to be desired.
