Redemption (2022)
Who forgets they have an entire DAUGHTER???
This is not a spoiler because you find out in the first minutes of the first episode but will include as such just in case: the protagonist has a daughter, who dies, that she utterly seems to have forgotten existed. She kicked her daughter out when the daughter was 17 and later 'looked' for her but in 20 years was unable to find her, mind you the mother (protagonist) is a police detective with the tools at her disposal. What sort of sociopath is this woman?! Appalling premise. Other than that, the usual BBC sort of detective show which is fair enough.
Frayed (2019)
Hilarious
I am an American who lived in Australia in the 80's so I had wanted to see this. I was not disappointed, both seasons are hilarious, absolutely loved each character and the ludicrous comedy that fits my sense of humor. The storyline is also interesting, and surprisingly, there are some twists and turns and episode-ending cliffhangers. Highly recommend.
The Dry (2022)
Entertaining but that music...
It was entertaining enough; the humor is dark which I always appreciate. There are the usual cliches, old love interest, family drama et. Al. But kept me watching and each character was interesting. However, the music was excruciating and pandering, a failed attempt at poignancy as it were; I had to fast forward through that, it distracted from the show and some of those 'music' scenes went on way too long.
Malignant (2021)
Plagiarism
Nothing new to see here. The movie plagiaries from some decent ones, and I am remiss that whoever was a part of this production, thought that was OK to steal. That said, just a terrible movie, I give it a 5 star because at best, there was a tad of experience as far as production therein.

This show was an absolute find on a rainy Sunday. I am glad I gave it a chance because it is absolutely hilarious, I watched the entire season in one sitting. Each character has their own personality without being overly clichéd. The more you watch, the more you realize the lead character, initially 'clownish' is actually rather complicated and well- meaning. I laughed out loud more than a few times.
