After watching "The Meg" twice, and being pretty impressed by the computer generated graphics I've given this 6 out of 10. Originally after one viewing I was prepared to give it 7: watching it again made me aware of the crummy lines and supposedly funny quips, which were basically pretty stupid, so I downgraded my rating. The Meg is great, a worthy predator, but the humans leave a lot to be desired unfortunately. I suspect there'll be another follow up movie, which if made will have equally inane dialogue. It's definitely worth watching - just don't expect much in the way of human intelligence.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
(1999– )
It's more "The Olivia Benson Show" than Law and Order SVU!
19 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen all 19 seasons of this police show and am disappointed that season 19 places so much emphasis on Mariska Hargitay"s character, Olivia Benson.
I also have purchased all 19 seasons on DVD and found in Season 19 that a couple of episodes on the second disc are out of order, which makes it hard to follow. Obviously during the editing little interest was taken in putting the content in the correct order. After Brooke Shields' character "loses" Noah while shopping the next episode has him as if nothing transpired. Its only in the following episode Noah's kidnapping evolves with all hell breaking lose to find him!
All in all quite disappointing. I hope that if there's another season the show focuses on victims of crime rather than Olivia Benson and her son Noah!

Excellent police procedural show

This French police show leaves its US and British counterparts for dead.
The team dynamic is sensational,though at first they seem quite an unusual bunch of misfits.
Each episode is different unlike US shows like Criminal Minds where the "unsub" is always a white male between the ages is 25-40.
I highly recommend this TV series and look forward to seeing a lot more of it.

Simply brilliant

This French spy thriller leaves the equivalent US shows for dead. US shows like Criminal Minds, etc. are just the same old drivel each season.
This series was riveting right from the start, though slightly slower in the first couple of episodes as character profiles were established.
Most characters are very likable and none became annoying like they do in the US shows.
I only hope the creators make more seasons as I fear that a trilogy is all we are going to see.
Absolutely brilliant series!! Magnifique!!
