Murdered by My Father (2016 TV Movie)

Needs another episode.

[8/10 · 28 February 2024]

This was a harrowing watch and you hope for a happy ending. Boy loves girl, girl loves boy. Girl is torn by her heart and tradition and very much tries to follow the path set for her and to honour the promise, but her heart just can't. It's 70 minutes long and ends abruptly, leaving you shell shocked and full of questions. Perhaps that is the intention but I could easily have watched another hour. So much tragedy happens in the final 10 minutes, there were moments where the father asked her to leave and you hoped that she would and then chaos ensues, it's prolonged and difficult to watch. You're left with questions and wondering whah happens next. It's a good drama, well cast but be prepared for the rawness.

After Life (2019–2022)

Masterpiece

[10/10 · 15 January 2022]

Believe all the high ratings and praise. It's funny, heartwarming and beautiful, from start to finish.

There is so much to say about this show, but I will simply ask that you watch and see for yourself.

A masterpiece.

The Pact (I) (2021– )

Why the poor reviews?

[8/10 · 14 June 2021]

Came to leave a healthy 8 star review to find so many 1's and 2's. Not deserved IMO. Enjoyable little mystery drama.

Too Close (2021)

How are the streets not full of wrecked people?

[9/10 · 21 April 2021]

Hard hitting drama showing how easy it could be to be pushed to breaking point with the right set of circumstances. Also how we can pre judge without knowing the full picture. It's a slow burn but outstanding from start to finish.

Your Honor (II) (2020–2023)

Twists and turns

[8/10 · 9 March 2021]

Very enjoyable and gripping. I don't feel some of the low ratings are fair at all. The kid is unpredictable but, that does make for some open mouth what's going to happen next moments.

7500 (2019)

Not bad at all.

[8/10 · 7 February 2021]

Enjoyable, realistic and intense. As others have said, it feels genuine. Quite a few will they won't they moments and now it makes me think that glass wouldn't trigger a metal detector.

New Amsterdam (2018–2023)

New Amsterdam is THE new medical drama.

[9/10 · 2 February 2021]

There's a new medical drama on the scene and New Amsterdam has become my new favourite. Loved Greys and Chicago Med amongst others. NA is really enjoyable once you get to know the characters and their back story. Throw in the occasional disaster, medical mystery and troubled Dr's lives and you'll be hooked.

It's a Sin (2021)

This is hard to put in words.

[10/10 · 23 January 2021]

This was an education. It's brilliant, it's fun, there's an outstanding cast and it is absolutely heart breaking. I hope everyone involved in this show is so so proud. Sorry this isn't much of a review, it's hard to put in words how I feel after watching this. Just give it a go, with an open heart and learn and respect. You will laugh and you will cry.
