Arsène Lupin (2004)
Gave Up After an Hour..
Wasn't sure if this was meant for teenagers or adults.. it was so silly.
Was it meant to be a comedy? It was certainly a farce
I mean at one point they set sail in a small sailing boat that becomes a massive canal barge by the time they arrive in Paris..
.
Just one of so many inconsistencies in the editing and plot that no wonder people were confused..
Best part was Pascal Gregory and he disappered way too soon ... gave up after he died.
Les Honorables (2019)
I'd Like to Give this a Minus Score
I have no idea why I actually watched this right to the end of 10 episodes but perhaps I hoped it would improve at some point.
I'm amazed that some people gave this a 5 star rating and thought it was brilliant... I should've read the other reviews first I guess!
Long and drawn out.. utterly predictable plot, miserable acting and a total waste of time.. and that's being kind!
I saw there's a season 2 in the pipeline... God help us!
Thirteen (2016)
Well acted but some massive flaws..
I have to admit I was pretty sucked in by Thirteen except for one aspect that really irritated me and which I found far from credible...
Please tell me that a young girl who's been kept in captivity and recently escaped would not be interviewed by police officers who have NO experience in psychology or kidnapping of this ilk. I feel certain that all interviews would be observed by a trained professional and at the very least the recordings would be scrutinized by someone capable of interpreting the body language and silences...
Safe Harbour (2018)
Mediocre to the Max
Stuck with it to the end in the hopes it would get better but in vain...
So there's a bunch of people on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Then they're in the water drowning.. then they get to Australia and the plot weaves around that. Except there are some glaring gaps which would help to make this story more credible. How did they get rescued for instance?
Then one could maybe get past the average acting, the long meaningful looks and the holes in the plot...
I'm sure that the concept is very pertinent for those of us in Australia but for me it fell way short.
Tjockare än vatten (2014)
Compulsive with (mostly) excellent acting
I love Nordic Noir and this is one of the best of the recent slew... while many plots are a wee bit too predictable, this one, (while hardly keeping you 100% in the dark until the final denouement) certainly has plenty of twists and turns ~ Enough to keep me hooked anyway!
Acting and casting above average (although the mournful Liv was a bit of a sap IMHO).
Well worth the watch!
Arvingerne (2014)
Like watching a train wreck... compulsive and mesmerizing
Having watched all 3 seasons of The Legacy you'd think I'd give it a higher score, but despite the great acting and weird plot twists I always come away wondering if people are honestly REALLY THAT dysfunctional? There's probably only one character over the age of 20 (Robert) who shouldn't be in therapy. ... oh wait... that could be the spin off series.
Despite my criticisms it's obviously very watchable if only to see if anything noteworthy is ever going to happen so 50% of the time I feel like the protagonists all need a darned good shaking and the other 50% like watching a train wreck I can't turn off...
