Rig 45 (2018–2020)

Competent murder muster

[6/10 · 14 July 2022]

This is a murder mystery set in a confined area - and it largely succeeds (although by no means perfect). It is set in an oil rig, but it could equally have been a submarine, space station... Those complaining about it not being a true to life oil rig are missing the point - it's about the claustrophobic nature of the setting. If realism is sought, watch a documentary.

The Rising (2022)

Ok for 6 episodes

[4/10 · 24 April 2022]

Then it degenerated into nonsense.

Which is a pity because it had the makings of an interesting series - but 4 episodes instead of 8 would have made the whole thing tighter.

Decent acting, but not recommended.

Close to Me (2021)

NOISE, NOISE, NOISE

[5/10 · 18 November 2021]

The background noise (music?) accompanying almost every scene spoils what might otherwise have been a decent series - but 4 episodes would have been more than enough.
