Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (2020–2021)

Started as a novel show, now immature acting

[4/10 · 3 May 2021]

I enjoyed Season 1, found the song aspect quite and quirky although at times the signing became a bit much especially for those actors who are not so great a breaking out in chorus.

However mid into Season 2, I've become bored with the storyline but especially main character Zoey who has the ability to read people's thoughts. Show is not aimed at mature people. Might be intended but falls short.

Zoeys character, dialogue and mannerisms in the show are extremely immature and horribly irritating.

She's a grown ass woman. A boss of an entire division but her work ethic and leadership is that of a 16 year old boy finding himself at Disneyland. It's almost embarrassing and definitely not stimulating - there's no substance.

The show has such potential. It's a great concept but needs some maturity added into the scripts and acting.

Thank goodness for Mo and Max who bring some substance to the show.

Venom (2018)

Fabulous

[10/10 · 11 March 2021]

Tim Hardy adds a sassy, humorous and thoroughly mesmerising spin on both his Eddie Brock and Venom characters. A great storyline keeping you interested and throughly entertained. Well worth watching. Would love to see a second installment.

Honest Thief (2020)

Outstanding.

[10/10 · 11 March 2021]

Great cast. Loved the storyline and very well executed.

Action and shooting scenes were not drawn out to a point of being unrealistic. Not Liam's typical hard core action film but found this one thoroughly enjoyable - still action but with a lot more suspense. Loved the movie and Kate Walsh, being predominantly a TV series a tressX played this part really well.

SEAL Team (2017–2024)

Riveting

[10/10 · 25 November 2020]

Best military show I've ever watched. Congrats to the producers as the attention to detail is superb which makes the show so much more riveting. Love the characters and following their lives both as a Bravo team and in their personal lives; Jason, Clay, Sonny, Brock, Cerebus, Mandy, Lisa, Ray.

Wishing they will show more more of a storyline around Brock and Cerebus as well. And hoping Stella plays more of a role as she brought something good to the show as well. Now that Clay has decided to step back from Bravo Team, sincerely hope he still plays a main role in the show.

Tremendous show giving you a small inkling of what war is truly like and insight into vets post war. An incredible show, here's hoping for many more seasons to come.

Enola Holmes (2020)

Delightfully entertaining and witty

[10/10 · 24 September 2020]

A movie for everyone. It was a production of intrigue, entertainment, clever writing, a great plot that keeps you enthralled. And loved the clever little illustrations thrown in. Enola, Sherlock and the Vicount Dueksbury; superb characters. Brought some real depth to the show. Truly hope there's another instalment on the horizon.

High Seas (2019–2020)

Captivating Series

[10/10 · 22 February 2020]

I watched this on Netflix in subtitles. Which was a little frustrating as first as your eyes had to be glued to the tv to read every second as I discovered every minute of both Seasons was absolutely captivating. So much drama and mystery.

It was a thoroughly intriguing series. Very well written. The costumes and settings were superb and the acting was amazing. Feel quite lost now that season two is over. Wish there were more. Highly recommend the series. A superb show.

Private Eyes (2016–2021)

Captivating

[10/10 · 7 February 2020]

To start off, I love the remake of the theme song 'private eyes'. Light and fresh and captures the essence of the two main characters, Angie and May.

The show has whitty humour, light hearted everyday trials and tribulations so well portrayed by father and daughter. Jules' character is sublime. Love the sometimes role reversal of who is actually the adult between father or daughter.

The storyline/cases are intriguing, fun to watch and try and solve and have some good suspense se.

Overall such a great show. I hope it keeps getting renewed for several more seasons. I'm addicted to it mostly because of the roles played by Jules and Mat. They bring a little bit of magic and awesome character to the show.

47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)

Amazing. On the edge of your seat

[10/10 · 29 January 2020]

I enjoyed the first instalment but absolutely loved the second one. I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout the film. Great storyline. Incredible effects. And a good cast.

The Bold Type (2017–2021)

Awesome

[10/10 · 9 August 2019]

Incredible story with characters of substance and great storyline's. Love Sutton and Richard and Jacklyn. Characters with such depth. They make the show what it is for me.

The Rookie (2018– )

Wow !!

[10/10 · 9 August 2019]

The show has only just aired in australia, Aug 2019. I've been waiting for a few months in anticipation since they first advertised it. Nathan Fillion, incredible character. He makes the show. Wouldn't watch it without him as the lead character. Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. Can resist till next week.

Bull (2016–2022)

Spellbinding and captivating

[10/10 · 9 August 2019]

I Look forward to every episode. A great cast but of course it wouldnt be the show without Michael W. Provides great drama, fascinating cases and some down to earth sorry mines. Love this show.

SEAL Team (2017–2024)

Compelling drama

[10/10 · 9 August 2019]

Such a great cast and love having a mature real series to watch. David As the leading character. Superb. A great show. I look forward to every episode and feel gutted when it ends.

Her Infidelity (2015 TV Movie)

Amateur and disastrous acting and bad script

[1/10 · 2 January 2016]

Was surprised to realized this is a recent movie produced. I was browsing through my movie list and the plot sounded good. A cliché but still a good plot for a really great psychological thriller. However 20 minutes into the film, oh dear. What started out as disbelief at the really bad acting or rather over acting from Rachel Hunter in her pathetic attempt to create tension. The bad script didn't help either. And Rachel making one bad choice after another in trying to create the drama, seriously pathetic.

The whole time I'm watching, it's extremely frustrating to watch scene after scene of amateur, pathetic acting. So so disappointing. Glad I didn't pay money to watch this.
