Severance (2022)
Refreshing
A long time since I've watched something this good on streaming sites. A nice slow burning dystopian show with great acting. Each episode builds momentum all the way to a climactic finale. We need more of this and less Marvel please.
Your Honor (2020)
Meh
Started off well and quickly goes downhill. It was as if they are just making it up as they go along with more holes than a polo factory. Characters become annoying.
Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (2021)
Why make it 4 episodes??
First two episodes were ok but even by the second episode they are repeating footage and stories. Episode 3 & 4 was just pathetic and turns out by the end of the 4 episode I had just wasted nearly 4 hours of my life. My advice is ...Don't start it as you will feel obliged to finish it and hate yourself for it.
Joker (2019)
Joaquin Phoenix 10/10
First half of the movie is very 'get on with it', second half is excellent. Joaquin, well, you could watch the man paint a wall and it would be an incredible scene so it really is his movie and his performance that makes everything.
Robert D is a let down which you come to expect these days.
Game of Thrones (2011)
How do you end the greatest show of this generation?
If the answer you want is 'you don't', then no matter what happens you will be disappointed. I don't diss or hate a show because it has the odd bad episode the same way I don't dump my girlfriend every time she annoys me. The complete series was a masterpiece and everybody should watch.
People who don't appreciate that are the same people who give out about something you did that one time years ago.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
All about the ending
The episode will not appeal to everybody given the way it was shot but the ending was the best ending if any episode in GOT so for that alone it deserves credit.
Pistorius (2018)
Don't get the reviews saying it's pro OP.
Read a lot of reviews before watching and was expecting some biased story but didn't get it. The man achieved great things as an athlete and while the doc shows that, it is all part of contrasting the athlete v the person and man who shot his girlfriend. I enjoyed this a lot and while we may never know what happened that night, he ultimately got what he deserved, didn't feel it sympathised with him at all... just gave the facts. OP was a great athlete with underlying issues, neither of which are excusable for his actions that night.
Dark (2017)
How do you write this??
I'd like to have a nice glass of wine with the mind who put this together. Incredible writing and the story is so strong you do not even pay attention to the questionable dubbed performance at times. Have left off one star as still one season to go.
La casa de papel (2017)
If Disney made a heist movie
Poor, lazy and predictable writing. Heard good things so I gave it a go but very disappointing. If your idea of a good show is bad characters, scenes full of coincidence to suit the story, terribly predictable attempt of 'cliff hangers" and a cringey love story thrown in then this will be the show for you. I expect these things when I watch certain shows and can get on board.... not a heist movie.
