No Time to Die (2021)
Boring Bond
Far from the best Bond. Too long, too stretched out and too dark both in terms of lighting and story line. Let's hope the next incarnation is better. None of Daniel Craig's Bond has inspired me. The only passable one for me being Skyfall. Producers seem now to like on-going threads through a series of films (Doctor Who is the same) and try to be too clever ending up in a muddled mess. There was in this Bond no humour and few gadgets - blink and you'd miss the use of the only one. Sparing Blofeld in the earlier film was out of character but since the series was a reboot this aided the the whole Spectre thing. In No Time to Die the producers kill him and his organisation off. All pointless. And then with Leiter and Bond killed off where can the franchise go? It's had one re-boot so perhaps there will be another. I hope so as I would love a return to the lighter Roger Moore era.
The Madame Blanc Mysteries (2021)
Bright, sunny and enjoyable
Really enjoyed this. Great location. A bright sunny and refreshing change. The ongoing mystery is intriguing and the self contained weekly case to be solved keeps things ticking along nicely. A lovely change.
