From: Oh, the Places We'll Go (2022)
Amazing!
This series is amazing from start to finish. I don't have anything negative to say about it. It had me tense and on edge through all 10 episodes with some time to breathe with the gentler character (development) scenes. Well paced throughout. Great acting & Harold Perrineau is awesome!
The Season Finale did not disappoint. Really looking forward to Season 2!
Definitely do not understand the low rated negative reviews. They always sound so whingey and close-minded.
From (2022)
Spine tingling & Atmospheric !
Just great!
Not every series captures your senses straight away. This one did! It had me intrigued from the moment it started.
I have watched three episodes so far and just had to say this series is so good! Literally cannot stop watching!
The Good Doctor: My Way (2022)
Embarrassing.
Dr Glassman gave good advice to Jordan & Lea. Fine, one would think, we can ruminate on that and see how best it fits to enhance the product. But, nooo. The women began to behave irrationally. Jordan, Lea and especially Reznick were all unreasonable, over sensitive and disrespectful to Dr Glassman. They were the sexist ones. They "woman-splained".
The Neighborhood (2018)
Love this show!
Every episode a gem! I like all the characters, and all the actors - everyone is great! Max Greenfield is awesome and gives me a Jerry Lewis vibe many times! This show is laughs all the way, yet keeps it real and doesn't back off from the tougher issues (which obviously upsets some people).
I binge-watched the first three seasons on catch-up so I could watch Season 4 when it started on tv! Looking forward to Season 5!!!
Only Murders in the Building (2021)
Really like what I've seen so far.....
...but Selena Gomez's speaking voice is really putting me off. I like Martin Short and Steve Martin, I'm ok with Selena Gomez. To be fair, I have only seen one episode so far. I don't want to give it a 1 like most reviewers who get put off by a little summin (on any show) and after 10 mins of watching they rate a show 1. That's just ridiculous.
I'm on the fence because of Selena's voice. Same thing happened on a movie she was in - Woody Allen's A Rainy Day in New York - but I got through it because of Timothee Chalamet.
But this is a series. Can I manage to get through it? I don't know.
The Postcard Killings (2020)
Good thriller
I enjoyed this movie. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is always worth watching.
However, in a thriller it doesn't make sense to have no subtitles for when other languages are spoken as in by the police, the villains and others. It's a black hole. It is probably relevant to the plot but the viewer has no way of knowing unless you are multi-lingual, which I am not.
West Side Story (2021)
Real cool!
Steven Spielberg's re-imagining of West Side Story is so well made and authentic with a good cast and great acting. Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort sparkle as the leads; Ariana DeBose shines bright as Anita, and we have a wonderful connection to the original with the lovely Rita Moreno. Nice!
The cinematography, the setting, music score, singing, dancing and costumes are all brilliant. We are transported to the West Side! It is emotional and exhilarating like the original.
Steven Spielberg has made something special as only he could. His re-imagining complements the original and iconic West Side Story.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
You cannot be serious.
A bad, rushed ending. Dexter (and fans) deserved better. Dexter is the important character, not Harrison. Many things were problematic with the series. I can't even.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Felt bland
I have seen all seasons of Dexter which was an excellent series. I was excited to watch Dexter: New Blood but Episode 1 has left me under-whelmed. It didn't feel authentic and felt too staged. Supporting cast vibe was out of a Channel 5 movie - nobody made any impression. Dexter seemed a lesser version of himself - that's more down to the story and script than Michael C. Hall's portrayal. I was able to predict what was going to happen the whole episode. Awkward scenes and too much 'wokeness', as people say. It does detract from the actual story, which could be deeper, but we get a diluted version. We do not need to keep seeing 'woke'. We know it exists.
Lovely setting though.
Will keep watching only because of Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter.
The Harder They Fall (2021)
Finally, a new western made right!
This movie is a class act and worthy of merit. Great cast! The length wasn't even an issue when every scene was so rich in every area -acting, story, cinematography, action and so on. I loved it from start to finish.
For those concerned with 'not historically accurate" - it began thus:
"While the events of this story are fictional..."
Fictional...
"These. People. Existed."
Infinite (2021)
Great action and stunts!
Interesting concept in this sci-fi fantasy. I enjoyed it. Well paced. Acting, action, stunts, cinematography all great. Good closing message. Cool ending set-up for a sequel.
Tom and Jerry (2021)
Just Brilliant!
I loved this movie from start to finish! Tom and Jerry as we know and love them! Loved the animation and live mix, the soundtrack, the acting, the characters - real and animated. Laugh out loud funny with emotion and heart too. Wonderfully captivating!
Northern Rescue (2019)
Nice location.
I agree with most of the reviews giving a low rating and some parts of the 10 ratings. I started watching because of William Baldwin, it's about family and the kind of location I love. This is neither a 1 nor a 10. It's not all good and not all bad. It has some funny, and some touching, tender moments, rescue drama, relationship dynamics. I wasn't sure if I should continue and it took me 5 episodes in to feel I could continue. It usually takes me one or two episodes on some series, and the really great ones, just one episode or less to hook me.
The biggest distraction throughout is that the actors in the role of the teenage children are too old.
15 yr old playing 12 - Taylor; 22 yr old playing 15 - Scout; 25 yr old playing 16 - Maddie.
I think I have the ages right as it's dated 2019 -.
It does not work. Maybe Taylor, but not Scout and especially not Maddie. Most, possibly all, of the high school cast are in, or near, their 20's. It would work better if the actors were the correct age; actual teenagers. We can clearly see we're watching adults. It's quite annoying and detracts from the whole show.
Maddie's inappropriate outfits are another negative.
Trial by Fire (2018)
Powerful.
A well made movie from start to finish with brilliant acting all round, especially Laura Dern and Jack O'Connell, who is outstanding and leaves a lasting impression with his portrayal of Cameron Todd Willingham.
Hard to watch. Hard to forget. I am incensed and saddened at the INJUSTICE of it all.
Todd was pre-judged by everyone and their prejudices. He had his faults, may have been unlikeable in some ways, but he did not deserve to be executed for something he did not do.
As the movie progresses, it is evident that their was a depth and maturity to Todd than was previously perceived.
An awful tragedy took Todd's little girls. Sham investigations, people lying on the stand under oath - how is it all allowed to happen?! At a late stage, Johnny Webb recanted his testimony - his letter was stuffed in a drawer by the prosecution. A blind eye was turned on all new evidence produced. His own wife (though by then ex-wife) betrayed him at the final hour though she knew Todd was innocent.
I feel for Elizabeth Gilbert and what happened to her as she so desperately tried to help Todd.
An innocent man's life was deliberately taken by the state of Texas. How do all those involved live with themselves.
Beckett (2021)
GOOD Thriller
People are lying. NOT the worst movie. NOT the worst actor.
Somebody said incredulously, "the ending??!" - the ending was good.
Somebody said they can usually tell within 10 minutes if a film is going to be good. CLEARLY, they cannot.
I don't know why people write such harsh reviews and start being personal and disrespectful.
This was a solid, good thriller. The Fugitive came to mind. Vibes of thrillers of the 60's and 70's.
By the end of the movie I had to consciously exhale and I was right there with Beckett with all his tortured emotions. And that is down to the acting of John David Washington.
Mr. Corman (2021)
NOT boring at all.
Hanging on every word. Brilliantly written, directed and acted. Poignant. Has humour along with the drama. Serious yet hopeful, with uplifting moments. This show captures the multiple facets of life, and characters, very intelligently. Not everyone will get it, or like it. But, hey, isn't that the way with everything.
Resort to Love (2021)
I loved it!
Beautiful people. Beautiful setting. Good story. Flowed well. Funny, also emotional. Great performances. Christina Milian - so beautiful, as always. Great music and singing. A feel-good movie that makes you smile. Who doesn't want that - to feel happy.
The Water Man (2020)
Wonderful movie!
From start to finish this movie is captivating and filled with emotional depth. A story of love and hope. Lonnie Chavis as Gunner is brilliant, and also Amiah Miller as Jo. The whole cast is stellar. It really touched my heart and had me crying in many places. Great cinematography and directing. I loved the animation art.
Intelligence (2020)
Really funny!
This is hilarious and David Swimmer is brilliant! Are the low reviews fake? You can't watch a series for 13 minutes or less and base any opinion. It means you don't have the attention span to actually judge anything correctly.
Them (2021)
Multi-layered, disturbing, thought provoking.
"Someone had an axe to grind" a reviewer rating low said. A very dismissive comment of the painful history of racism and it's ongoing effects, the racism that still continues, the emotional and psychological effects......
This series is horrifying, disturbing, traumatic, difficult to watch, emotional & heartbreaking, terrifying, compelling. Once I had started to watch, I needed to see these characters stories through.
The supernatural horror element is eerie and frightening.
The real horror is the evil that humans do to other humans. There is an atmosphere of menace throughout the whole series that keeps you tense and on edge, right up to the end.
Well written and directed with great cinematography and soundtrack. Stellar acting from everyone. Each episode is strong and connects together.
There was a powerful reference to Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye".
The message is clear - the hate and violence has to stop.
I was emotionally wrung out by the end - I felt their pain, and the pain of generations. But I also felt their strength.
"Strength is what we can gain from the madness we survive." - Unknown.
Breach (2020)
I liked it!
I read the reviews - so negative - I still watched cos of Bruce, and I liked it. A fun, tongue-in-cheek sci-fi romp. People reviewing on here take themselves too seriously and also get caught up in their opinion/dislike of an actor. Actors are allowed to do cheesy films and have some fun. Stop disrespecting Bruce. I see many reviews on IMDB where people give their disrespectful comments on good actors when their comments have no merit. And not every movie has to be deep, meaningful and Oscar-worthy. It's nice to just chill and watch a fun movie.
The Walking Dead: Diverged (2021)
Emotional and deep
A great episode. It delivers on many levels and touches your heart. A study of two pivotal TWD characters, Daryl and Carol, and their relationship, with emotions that many can relate to. And Dog! So cute!
Episode 20, Splinter, was also an under-appreciated episode, but was filled with many levels, emotions and depth.
The haters irritate me so much. Those reviewing and rating low may not appreciate great acting, depth of characters, nuances or metaphors but some of us do. Neither do they have to accuse REAL reviewers who give a decent rating of being fake. People who can't understand something are only capable of attacking and demeaning. This is evident from the reviewers rating low. Look beyond your One dimension. You might see, and feel, something.
Those who say Covid is being used as an excuse are lacking insight. Even through this tough time TWD manages to deliver great story, tense scenes, emotion and heart.
One reviewer wrote: "Am I missing something?". Yes. You are.

Brilliant!
Great fantasy series. Stellar acting, interesting and compelling world and story with breathtaking scenery. Jason Momoa is outstanding!
Some of the negative reviews make little sense yet they complain about story and plot holes. And, if you can't bother to spell things correctly, or learn character names and spell them correctly, you cannot be taken seriously talking about bad writing from the script writers, plot holes, or directions of story or anything.
See: Fresh Blood (2019)
Jason Momoa!!
Oh my God! The scene where Baba Voss kills the slavers! Horrifying! So well done. Like a dance. A poetic dance. Jason Momoa is just beautiful to watch. You feel all his anger, love, fierceness, protectiveness, rage at what he has to become again all while he does this dance of death. Great scene! I appreciate the art of it. Jason Momoa makes the show! You cannot take your eyes off him in each episode, in each scene!
Mulan (2020)
Wonderful movie!
Great cast and performances. Beautifully filmed, breath-taking scenery and scenes, colourful, elegant, emotional, depicts honour, respect, loyalty, bravery, truth, the importance of family, strength, courage, being true to yourself whilst keeping a balance to be true to others, visually conveys dark and light through the characters skilfully, and much more is shown in nuanced ways. Action scenes are on point. I liked the inclusion of the Phoenix. An amazing shot of Mulan and the Phoenix behind her.
I didn't even miss the musical numbers. They weren't needed in this movie. Comedy was not needed in this movie. Humour is included. The film score is lovely.
The closing credits are artfully done. I enjoyed Mulan from beginning to end.
(I don't understand the harsh reviews with the low ratings.)
