The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (2024)
If you liked the Mighty Boosh you might make it through
Wow what a load of tripe.
"Dick Turpin" lures viewers with the promise of Noel Fielding's comedic brilliance, but ultimately falls short of expectations. Despite hopes for a delightful romp, the series feels contrived and fails to deliver genuine laughs.
The attempts at humor come across as forced and predictable, lacking the spontaneity and charm that Fielding typically brings to his projects. While fans of "The Mighty Boosh" may have been drawn to this new endeavor, they'll find little to love as the humor consistently misses the mark.
Rather than organically blending historical drama with comedy, "Dick Turpin" feels like a clumsy attempt to capitalize on a popular genre without understanding what made it successful in the first place. The result is a lackluster series that struggles to find its footing.
In the end, "Dick Turpin" disappoints, leaving viewers longing for the wit and creativity of Fielding's earlier work. While his presence may have initially sparked interest, it's not enough to salvage this lackluster production. Fans would be better off revisiting old favorites than wasting time on this forgettable misstep.
Thanks chat gpt.
Stay Close (2021)
She ran away and started a new life. In the same town?!
I'm sticking with it but so flawed and as for the dancing killers? Hopefully will all be explained soon but seems like a mess.

Encounter (2021)
1.5 hours you'll never get back
Love Riz Ahmed but what could have been good was an utter waste of space. Great concept then it just went south very quick.
Don't bother unless you want to get to sleep, or you love pain.
Close to Me (2021)
Pleasantly surprised, stick with it
So many mixed reviews I was waiting for it to turn into a cheese fest or a rubbish ending but really enjoyed this. Much better than I expected, stick with it!
Clickbait (2021)
The writer from Scooby Doo wrote the last episode
Great start, totally gripping and we binge watched the whole series but the final episode is ridiculous! Has to be the dumbest twist ever.
So disappointing!
The Upside (2017)
Excellent remake
I wasn't expecting much, the French version is brilliant but this is a great remake. Kevin Hart one liners are genius. Cranston slick as usual.
Give it a try!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Absolute tosh
Chris Pratt, you are so much better than these rubbish films you keep accepting.
I have to admit I only managed 15 minutes but my brain couldn't take it.
Who writes this drivel? And who signs the cheques off. It blows my mind!
The Gentlemen (2019)
Watch the Long Good Friday (1980)
Typical Guy Ritchie film, quite entertaining but bit same old same old. I liked the references to The Long Good Friday!
McDonald & Dodds (2020)
Cringeworthy TV
Wow people have this 7.4?! Must be fake votes.
How can they honestly make this more cringe.
If you like midsummers murders, like bad acting, and an awful plot you may like this.
You have been warned!
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Another wasted opportunity
I am a space buff but find so many space films miss the mark. Come on guys you've got a decent budget, now get a decent script.
Underwhelming, boring, don't waste your time.
2 Guns (2013)
What the hell!
Mark wahlberg does some sh** films and Denzel is fast catching up but this is soooo flawed and complete tosh.
I can't believe they read the script and think yeah let's do this?
Oh no spoilers, I switched off.
Detectorists (2014)
Please can you make more 🙏
Loved this series and binged watched it in 3 days.
Gangs of London (2020)
Really well done, but...
Really enjoying this but a 'big time' gang and they live in silly little house you couldn't swing a cat in?! Apart from that brilliant, just don't eat while watching!
After Life (2019)
Love it... but
Again brilliant from Gervais but have to skip the scenes with the therapist really cringeworthy.
England Is Mine (2017)
Heaven knows I'm miserable now ; /
I did enjoy this film but COULD have been soooo good, would love to have seen them making it, I am sure that's what the fans would want.
Instead we got Morrissey ringing a door bell. Heaven knows I'm miserable now.
Dracula (2020)
BBC - Can I have my TV licence money back please
Episode 1 was bearable, 2 I gave up. 3 my wife put on and i had half an eye on it, what an absolute joke!
Please don't waste your time on this, I never write reviews but feel I had to warn any poor people that maybe thinking of watching!
Dublin Murders (2019)
I'm soooo lost
First 2 series I loved. Now I have no idea what's going on now 🤔 sticking with it but games of thrones was less complex!
