Paranoid (2016)
Terrible - but I enjoyed it.
Dreadful script, some really clunky lines, especially for poor Nina. The excellent actors did their best with it. Chris Crowley was superbly creepy and I loved the German duo but the wonderful Indira Varma's character was unnecessarily annoying. Denis looked like a superb character but never got the chance to get his teeth into anything.
It didn't quite know whether it was a thriller or a comedy or a romance - bit of a hodgepodge of everything.
While the story had me hooked until the end, it didn't feel satisfyingly tied up. Unexplained bits and unnecessary bits and just plain annoying bits.
So it was pretty awful, but enjoyably so.
The Lost Daughter (2021)
Started strongly but went nowhere
With a fantastic cast, and some great performances, this started strongly, and I was keen to see where it went.
Unfortunately, that was nowhere.
The tension was building from the beginning, and there was a real sense of foreboding. I was intrigued to find out more about the characters, what their stories were, why they behaved the way they did.
By the end, I knew nothing about any of them other than the lead character, and what I knew of her didn't add up. I realised that almost every character was selfish and unlikable, and I didn't care what happened to any of them. Such a wasted opportunity. I felt cheated out of a real experience by this self-indulgent twaddle.
Offspring (2010)
Excellent apart from the singing
Really enjoying this, love all the characters and they're all a bit mad-cap, so it keeps you on your toes, but so sick of Mick singing in every episode. Enough already!
