Good Cop (2012)
Great story with no ending
I almost turned it off so hard the first few episodes.. then I remembered how I was treated as a new female within the US military. Just like this, lots worse, and imagine what they said behind my back.. like the officers do within the show? Probably lots worse. And this is why I will only watch British police procedurals. They're feminist in a non overt way. Here it's beautifully and horrifically done. Women are strong enough to be soldiers and police officers and do blue collar work. But we must fear men because they're the ones doing the majority of crime. We need strong men like the male lead in this to just have our backs. Anyway.. Really wish it had a clean closing.

Wow!
This is such a fresh and unique concept. I absolutely loved it. Once you realize it's all somehow connected (by the second or third episode probably but I can be slow to do that) and get the full crazy butterfly effect as it goes on - wow. There's a lot of tension! I would like to say though it should be a flash warning at the beginning of every episode because it was a bit much for me and I imagine anyone else sensitive to flashing on the screen it would be a bit much too. I need to write 122 more characters so this is it - if you like built up tension drama with an artsy concept this is for you!

Thoroughly disappointed
No hate for Gough but wow, she made this film terrible. She was not likable at any moment. This movie would have had way more potential and been more enjoyable with a different leading lady and more backstory. I found zero chemistry between Gough and Stan and it's totally unbelievable he would have fell for her or gone to the airport to stop her after her rude and unnecessary little blow up on the ferry - for which we had NO context as to why she would react that negatively towards him. The only positive I can say is that they didn't sugarcoat the relationship - it wasn't all butterflies but the true ups and downs relationships can have.
