Professor T (2021)
Series Three, really good!
Just binge watched series three on ITVX, and its the best series to date. Professor T s story has gone in a direction I could not foresee, and that's a good thing. Its simply brilliant, which of course a lot is down to Ben Miller. And ,yes, I am a fan. From his early days in comedy, Armstrong and Miller,to his first semi serious role in Primeval, to his piece de resistance Death in Paradise. I thought ,how could he top that. But safe to say he has. Of course Bens had a lot of help with his supporting cast, they've all been excellent. But, sorry, its the Professor s story, and I've worked it out. Its all about bringing him into the real world, having to deal with lots of drama, outside the sanctuary of Cambridge University and being allowed to abuse his students, haha. Can not wait for Series Four, its coming! Recommend.
Killer at the Crime Scene (2021)
Riveting true crime series.
I am a true crime fanatic. And I've watched hundreds of series, documentaries, and movies on the subject. If I had a top ten, killer at the crime scene would be in there. Very well made and presented series, that takes you from the evil deed right through to the capture and jailing of the perpetrator. Mainly crimes that happened in the UK. A lot around or in London. There are a lot of vile crimes shown here, perpetrated by the vilest people. Its always an unanswered question for me that how can one person do unspeakable things to another person. Yes, there's the motive, sex or money, their the big one's. Then there's the excuses, mental health, another big one. But I still don't understand it. Anyway, if you are fascinated by real life crime,I strongly recommend this series.
In Isolation (2022)
Turn the volume down.
Lot of reviewers complaining about the terrible dubbing. Turn the sound down, and try not to look at the actors (if they were actors) mouths too much. As for the rest of the movie, it isn't the worst movie in my worst movie list. I liked the premise of the story, society breaking down amidst a deadly virus. Covid? Although it isn't specified, but you know, why not. People were being affected by the isolation. As well as this you have the main character, and the one I mainly rooted for, suffering from a phobia. The action sequences were done well, and I think the cinematography was fine for a low budget film. Definitely low budget,because I didn't know any of the actors or director. But,hey,it was a good time filler,and gets an average score from me for effort.
Bird Box: Barcelona (2023)
Worthy addition.
I thought the Sandra Bullock Birdbox was okay,and I just love apocalyptic movies anyway, so when I found this one set in a devastated Barcelona I thought why not,give it a go. Wow,was I surprised, this is actually a clever spin on the previous film. With the main protagonist a conflicted character, it made the story pretty tense, stick with it, because it got me thinking which way is this going to go. All bad or all good. To coin a phrase from the film, you have to SEE, lol. I thought the production was very good, and the location of Barcelona is beautiful, even though its obviously messed up, its the end of the world right. The acting was good all round, and I liked how the writers are trying to develop the story about the entities with an obvious push to a third film. Like I say ,stick with it, its not all bad.
Who Is Erin Carter? (2023)
Surprised.
This turned out a nice surprise. Ended up binge watching. What can I compare it too,a female James Bond maybe. Yes,I agree it takes time to really get going,but after episode four it blows it out the park. I see now why they made it that way to draw you fully into the story. I think the production and location setting was well done,the action and stunt work are almost the same level as any Bourne movie. Great music too,yes,very happy with the production. Now the direction and actors. Overall the director did a good job, the main actress I did not recognize but by the end she had my admiration, the rest of the cast did a good job too. A lot of reviewers have mentioned Douglas Hensells involvement, and although he is a very good actor I thought he looked a little of place, I think a Spanish actor would have been better placed. But overall, a pleasant surprise.
