The Hunger (II) (2020)

A must watch if you are Irish.

[9/10 · 18 September 2023]

This is an excellent documentary about the British government at the times role in neglecting to help a starving people whom they governed over. As an Irish person I found it very sad viewing. It was basically genocide as there was plenty of food to feed the starving Irish but the british continued to export all the food.

Liam Neeson does a great job of narrating. This documentary should be compulsory viewing in all secondary schools throughout Ireland.

The famine had a hugh affect on the Irish people for a century +

1883: Lightning Yellow Hair (2022) Season 1, Episode 7

Terribly bad written episode

[3/10 · 3 January 2023]

This series was going downhill, but this episode has dropped it off a cliff for me. It was so bad.

On top of the never ending Elsa preaching we get a terrible gun fight. Like the thieves must be awful stupid to keep riding straight at three guys on the ground with riffles and just let them pick them off one by one.

Oh ya and abuse the cook had to take for using a bad word. Especially by the obnoxious mother (threating him) And then hubby comes along to back her up- Total crap writing. Later the mother procedes to demand a cowboys horse rudely, and he just gives it to her. Its turned into a load of drivel. This episode was probably written by a 14 year old feminist.

The Bear (2022– )

Realistically bad restaurant

[6/10 · 13 July 2022]

If this is a realistic restaurant as many reviews say.

Then alot of restaurants are really badly run.

As entertainment this is crap. I watched season 1 and its just so negitive and boring drival. The writing is so bad I feel sorry for the actors.

If you want to watch a proper kitchen drama. Watch Boiling Point.

Ted Lasso: Rainbow (2021) Season 2, Episode 5

How pathetic is season 2 so far

[3/10 · 21 September 2021]

Season 1 = 8.5.

Season 2 = 2.5.

So predictable and cringey.

It has gone down hill with every eposide until rock bottom with this one.

And dont get me started on the fake reviews. 10/10😄😄😄

Ted Lasso: Carol of the Bells (2021) Season 2, Episode 4

Pure Cheese

[2/10 · 21 September 2021]

This season is a big dissapointment so far

Very lazy writing! Each episode goes nowhere and makes you care very little.

That was not rhe case in S01.

This episode is the worst of all.

Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller: Fentanyl (2020) Season 1, Episode 2

Fake!

[1/10 · 14 August 2021]

Had to laugh at the stupidity of this.

As if they would allow this much access to how they make and smuggle the drugs.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

Bring back James Wan. That was crap!

[2/10 · 17 June 2021]

Very poor horror, if you could call it that.

No tension at all. Story is terrible.

Acting poor as well. The first 2 are in a different league altogether.

Batman (1989)

Totally Overrated

[2/10 · 11 February 2021]

Boring! No plot! Miscast mess! Missed this as a kid. My mates were going to see it in the cinema and stopped at my house to get me to come along. I wasnt as home. Thank god! Only after watching it now 31 yrs later. Wish I didnt bother!

The 100 (2014–2020)

Teenage drama drivel

[2/10 · 20 December 2020]

This is a high school drama not a sci fi. Please be kinder to your brain and dont watch.

Fatman (2020)

Nice surprise!

[7/10 · 28 November 2020]

Interesting dark take on santa for adults. Fun movie but dont take too seriously.

Sharp Objects (2018)

Don't bother!

[3/10 · 14 November 2020]

Dont waste time on this like I did, hoping for it to get better and more engaging. It doesn't! It takes slow burn to an all new level. Basically its just boring.

The Witcher (2019– )

A waste of a lot of money

[4/10 · 25 December 2019]

Terrible story telling. Boring and seems all over the place. OTT rating. I give it 4 stars for the visuals but thats just money not talent. Also editing is terrible.

Black Mirror: Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too (2019) Season 5, Episode 3

Worst Episode so far

[3/10 · 13 June 2019]

If it was a movie it would be a bad B movie. I should have known m cyrus would bring the samr crap with her.

The Bouncer (2018)

Terrible Acting. Cliche story

[4/10 · 27 April 2019]

It was like the script was written to cater for Van Damme's inability to act. The scene where he kidnaps the drug cook is ridiculous altogether -Shots fired from 15 feet away with a shot gun miss its target. And why the dubbing of some characters which was done v poorly and distracts you from the movie.

Calibre (2018)

Highly Underrated Movie

[9/10 · 7 April 2019]

This was an unexpected gem of a movie. A movie that really sucks you in and makes you feel the worry and panic of the 2 main characters. An excellent gripping triller.
