Designated Survivor (2016)
Seasons 1 and 2 - 9 stars. Season 3,- 0 stars.
Started off brilliant, season one is fantastic. Season 2 is just as good. But the whole tone of the show changes in season 3, ruined it for me. As it was only ten episodes, I stuck with it, it just got worse. It was like some of the characters personalities completely changed in the third season. What's great about seasons one and two, is it's just as it would be if Jack Bauer ever became president, loved that! The acting is great in the first two seasons, and the storylines are great, quickest I've ever got through so many episodes of any show.
So to sum up, definitely worth a watch, but probably best to forget they ever made a third season!
Toy Story 4 (2019)
Wow, just WOW!!
I have loved all the Toy Story films, but this one takes a different approach. The others were about the Toys belonging to the kids. Toy Story 4 is mainly about the Toys themselves. The ending is just brilliant, I didn't see it coming at all. I may be 44 years old, but it put tears in my eyes!!
It was the perfect ending to probably one of the best family film franchises ever.
I'm not sure how they can follow on with a Toy Story 5, but I hope they do!
Detainment (2018)
Wow. This is perfectly made.
I wasn't sure whether to watch this or not, I guess I was curious to see it after all the media reports about it, and of course it being nominated for an Oscar.
The acting is superb, especially by the two boys and the parents. I guess the film made me realise what the parents of the boys must have felt when realising the evil things their own child had done, that was hard to watch.
Do I think the film should ever have been made, I am honestly not sure, but films are quite often made without the consent of all involved.
What those two did, is the most evilest thing I have ever seen in my life, it disturbs me that they are now free.
I have never felt so sorry towards anyone as i do to James's parents.
RIP James
