Frozen Planet II (2022)
Just ridiculously good camera work...
Each time I watch one of the BBC wildlife series, especially those narrated by Sir David Attenborough, I'm always blown away by the level of detail and camera angles the production of team achieve.
The latest series have just upped the game, an early sequence with Killer Whales is simply outstanding. Later footage of a bear attack and calves trying to survive, creates more tension and emotion than most Hollywood movies.
Its so important that various at risk species are documented and the general public are educated and informed about the world's wildlife. The BBC seem to have some of the best wildlife photography I've ever seen. Outstanding...!
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Wow, worse the second time round...
Just got round to watching GoT for the second time. A rewatch of the series finale only compounded my first conclusion, the writers went mad and utterly lost the plot. For whatever reason season 8 was a willful act of vandalism. It erased all the amazing story building of the first seven seasons.
The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022)
Great sci-fi and outstanding acting
This TV series took me totally by surprise, I know the book and mediocre movie from the 1970s. I saw the first episode available to stream and thought "why not".
When Chiwetel Ejiofor appeared I almost whooped aloud, he is an outstanding actor and delivers an incredible performance, from silly jokes to sober sincerity. The rest of the cast is very strong, and when Bill Nighy appeared I know we will be in for treat.
The cinematography and sounds is excellent, and I know split time storytelling is not for everyone, I think we need to give the show the benefit of doubt and go with it.
Looking forward to move episodes!
Good Omens (2019)
Love it
Terry Pratchett would have loved it.
Neil and Terry's adaption is excellent, the two protagonists are excellent. Supported by some great American and British actors.
