Red Eye (2024)
Oh dear
First episode I thought this was going to be a good thriller but boy was I wrong. The characters are so unbelievable, the acting is really bad. The turbulence scene shows a plane violently moving but you can tell that they are just moving the camera up and down. And the shot of the plane in the sky looks like it came directly from the set of the Thunderbirds!
By the end of eps 2 we have two people and a dog that are dead on the plane.
What has become of a good TV series that grips you from start to finish? Unfortunately this one is nearly unwatchable and the end I was thinking it was a comedy!
Griselda (2024)
It's good don't believe the negative reviews
Ok, so I really liked this. It was entertaining and Sofia Vergara was excellent (fake nose and all). The supporting cast was pretty good and the script on point. However, and this is pretty minor but very annoying the lead female detective.... for 3 + years which was every episode she wore sunglasses on top of her head. Every scene, what was that about?? Don't get me wrong if it was to demonstrate the 70's early 80's I get it, but every scene? This was really strange.
Her son, Michael has come out saying that the Netflix drama wasn't exactly true but hey it was a a strange story to begin with. Look, overall it was entertaining (despite the depiction of so many murdered).
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!
May December (2023)
What is this annoying soundtrack!?!
Ok, so I started watching this after all the hype. I was going in with an open mind as some of the reviews were pretty bad. When the first piano soundtrack started I thought, great this means that something is going to happen. But no, nothing. Then the same piece of music started, again nothing. No climax, just the same boring story. By the end of the film that piano piece could be used as a torture device to get terrorist to talk. I mean if I had to hear that again I would give up national secrets!
What a waste of such incredible actors. I don't get the positive reviews this is simply a rehashed story that wasn't that interesting to begin with.
Best. Christmas. Ever! (2023)
Oh this is bad!
Wow! Netflix really? The acting, the plot, it's like watching a car wreck. We can't be that desperate for Christmas movies surely. I had to watch till the end to see just how bad it was. These are some serious washed up actors that need to retire. I am struggling to use enough word count for this disaster of a movie. , obviously the actors thought the writing was atrocious. Look I took this on face value as a cheesy Christmas movie but seriously I can't understand why Netflix would play this garbage. Please, give it a miss. Actually watch any other Christmas movie ever made except this one. Seriously.
The Changeling (2023)
Started strong...
Started strong with a great storyline but oh dear it's lost it's way. It is so boring now, especially episode 7. Seriously what was that all about. Filler episodes with dialogue for the sake of dialogue. It better have a fantastic ending otherwise it's been a complete waste of time. It feels like it should have been on theatre rather than a TV series.
The acting is OK, but the writing is hard to follow, drawn out and at times you fell like fast forwarding to see if anything actually happens in the episode.
Apple has lost the plot with a few TV series lately, time to think about what they are producing rather than just pumping out ridiculous content.
The Morning Show (2019)
Did someone say 'jumped the shark'
Oh dear, well the first 2 seasons were so good but unfortunately we have a case of 'we jumped the shark' for season 3. I'm not sure how a stellar cast took the table read for this season. Is it suppose to be a comedy now?? Not good, not good at all. May I refer you to Happy Days....please bow out gracefully! Whoever was the writer of this season needs to take a hard look at themselves. No doubt this will be the final season because there is no coming back from this one! Of course Reece Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston are perfect with the dismal dialogue they have to work with. Oh well it was good while it lasted.
Inventing Anna (2022)
It was OK
Look, it is what it is especially from Shondaland. It's an easy watch and yes the accent is hard to take at the beginning but you get used to it. The absolute stand out for me was Arian Moayed as her lawyer. He had the best lines in the show and was brilliant in this character.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Mind nummingly boring
Wow, this is THE most boring 'horror' show I have ever seen. Is it supposed to be haunting or just some bad acting soap opera. 4 episodes in and I am done. Do not waste your time. Ridiculous
Away (2020)
Don't waste your time!
Wow this is bad. The storyline had the potential to be riveting but alas it failed big time. How do I sum it up in one word...boring. Hilary Swank has always overacted but in this pointless show she completely outdid herself. Every cast member is so stereotypical. Please don't waist your time, I got to episode 5 and it was 5 episodes too many.
Ted Lasso (2020)
Love it! Feel good comedy, great casting
Love this show and it was completely unexpected. The writing is excellent and the story delivers feel good moments throughout. Wonderfully cast. A must see!
The Outsider (2020)
Yes great start but that's where the greatness ends
Have to agree with the other reviews this was a cracker of a start to a new series. Sadly, it dwindled into a somewhat idiotic and boring series. Episode 8 was the nail in the coffin, so sadly I won't even bother watching the remaining. Waste of time.
