I like it, but silly plot holes
I generally find this good. Reminds me of Under the Dome Vs Walking Dead.
One massive plot hole I don't get. On the one hand electricity is coming into the town but they can't workout how, on the other they chain-link nearly dead car batteries to power the tower/antenna and discuss problems of powering it. Just plug it into the mains FFS!
DMZ (2022)
Big questions "Why?" and "Who?"
So it starts and there's been a civil War - why?
Fighting between who? America and?
There's a DMZ, why exactly?
So fighting is going on outside DMZ between who?
If it is a DMZ why is life better outside it?
I have many more questions but am finding these holes difficult to get over.

Nice start, but annoying plot hole
It was a great start to a show but why do people think that in an emergency when car tyres are flat you can't drive at all!? YOU CAN!! Car still moves FFS! In the real world that whole last scene of first episode and start of the second could have been avoided if they just kept driving after tyres were spiked.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Perfectly terrible accents, poor acting, so many "British" mistakes
While the storyline and plot is quite ok, there were so many mistakes, cringy over-British accents with language nobody uses, and poor acting.
If there was ever an example of how using American actors to play British roles, and not filming 1 scene in the UK is a mistake, this is it!
Here is a list of obvious mistakes that stood out to me:
1. Over the top British accents and ridiculous language nobody uses. If it was a 18th century period drama then it could be passable but not this!
2. Telephone ring tones in the UK go "ring-ring". US single ring tones used throughout.
3. In the UK flags are never put in classrooms. Again a US thing.
4. The scenes where they say "do the math" is a massive giveaway actors are American. Always say "maths" in UK without exception.
5. I felt sorry for the little girl given a script using language that no child in the world, no matter the century, would speak like. It was so damn irritating I actually wished she would be murdered during the series. Perfectly awful.
6. What is it with Americans and their obsession with Brits only drinking tea? The scene where Jamie says "you Americans and your coffee" as though nobody drinks it just made me laugh.
I spent more time being shocked by the mistakes, accents and language than by the "horror" itself
I actually found myself laughing quite a few times too.
It is slightly redeemed by the plot which isn't bad hence my 2 rating.
Big shame as I was a massive fan of series 1
