Rules of the Game (2022)
Maxine Peake disappoints for the first time
20 January 2022 - 4 out of 14 users found this review helpful.
After an intriguing first episode this quickly descended into a preposterous collection of unlikely events and gaping plot holes. How small is the town that everyone seems to live in each other's pockets? Why don't the police investigate sudden deaths? Why does a murder suspect keep the one bit of evidence that links him to the death of a girl? Such poor plotting and poor scripting.

The Amazing Mr Blunden (2021)
An Inferior Copy
25 December 2021 - 19 out of 24 users found this review helpful.
Adapted almost scene for scene from the original but with pantomime villains and a loss of charm and mystery. Whilst the young actors do their best and Callow is an acceptable Blunden the move to modern perood detracts from the timelessness of the Lionel Jeffrey's version. Watch the original and give yourself a treat.
