Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)

Not Penny Dreadful just Dreadful

[1/10 · 27 April 2020]

The teenagers at the New Wave studios have not met a UK nor EU series they could not turn into a comic book travesty. We have veteran tough-as-nails LA cops (Nathan Lane???) who has to show how tough he really is by constructing every sentence with f-bombs at beginning, middle and end of every utterance, Sometimes in all three places when he is really acting. We have very cheap FX field burns. We have condescending depictions of "foreigners" We have a complete catalogue of NRA approved vintage correct guns. Naturally, the cops have the guns & the Mexicans have sticks/clubs/stones, ensuring a good massacre plenty of bloodshed Surprisingly there were no T & A displays but one can be sure there shall be many in future episodes. Usual count every other episode, complete with women being thrown against any horizontal furniture and ravished. It is a known fact women love to have the edges of furniture rammed into their stomachs during sex! Ms Dormer and/or her agent must have mortgage/car payments due for her to appear in this drivel. If you wish to see Penny Dreadful the original, download it S01 & S02 Don't waste time & bandwidth watching this rubbish.

Death in Paradise (2011– )

All things must come to an end.

This used to be good worthwhile escapist show. The first two transplants were great, as were the local "girl" detectives. But then it stated to go downhill with the departure of ALL the lead characters. It is rather cruel to not put this show out of it's and our misery. Acting now is riduculously bad, could blame it the scripts but I think not. Guest list is down to the supporting actor/actress level.

Had a good run but needs putting down.

The War of the Worlds (2019)

Mrs Poldark should have stayed in Cornwall

If you thought Tom Cruise' effort at this classic was bad this revision is worse. Why modern producers think they can all improve upon stories told by classic wordsmiths is beyond me.

Read the book and make a product that honors it. Stop trying to "update" the stories with your take on current mores. If think you are that good, write an original story and have it produced. Leave your betters alone.

The City and the City (2018)

Interesting

Watched all four episodes in one sitting. After the strangeness of the twin cities concept goes away it was entertaining, a little slow but that makes a change from all the wham bam tripe that gets forced upon us as trendy. I swear as much as the next non pc person but for some reason writers today feel they have to someone f'ing and blinding as part of every sentence in every show; having women do it seems to be even more enticing for them. Don't agree but whatever. I started to think cities thing may be a take on Palestine and Israel, ancient & modern, without the intercity conflict but maybe just writers original creativity I think it is a worthwhile watch. Enjoy
