Warning: Spoilers
This was an excellent season 3 opener by jeremy and the boys, with the ford mustang RTR standing for ready to rock driven by Jeremy clarkson that cost 40 grand and had 720 horsepower. James may was in the Chevy camaro called the excorsit tuned by Hennessey to 1000 horsepower with no work on the brakes or bodywork just the engine. richard hammond drove the dodge demon an 840 horsepowehr monster and showed some off it feature in the final shootout overall a good show highlight been the sound check in henry ford original plant.

One Tree Hill (2003–2012)
7/10
one tree hill
8 February 2017
start off pretty good with the Scott family, battling over the basketball with Dan wanting Nathan to do better than his other son Nathan by his EX girlfriend.

also the rivalry with his brother Keith Scott, was good for a while but it got silly around season 5 onward.

cast was fine and in patch writing was good, but it lost it way and spoil a solid cast including Moira Kelly and Chad Micheal Murray.

good start wasted by scriptwriter, one tree hill should have gone on and been one off the best US teen drama instead became a Teen melodrama.

pity that why score is only 7.

Outlander (2014– )
8/10
outlander
30 January 2017
outlander is a gutsy show from Starc TV company, as it depended a lot on writing and action to make it feel important in my book.

Californai Balfe and Sam Heughen are excellent lead and help carry the show for me back up by beautiful scenery.

the supporting is good as is the writing and directing, as they put it together and have a good show here.

my advice to the crew is do as many series as you can as it a one in a lifetime chance to do a show based on a series of books like outlander.

that why it an 8 out of ten show for me something if i was an actor i would sign up for.

Dexter (2006–2013)
10/10
Dexter
28 January 2017
Dexter was a wicked dark TV show, that for periods off it was brilliant some off the best script TV to come out off the USA in the decade.

Michael C Hall performance, as Dexter Morgan was brilliant as well was Jennifer Carpenter who played his sister was excellent too.

everyone who worked on this show was good, from writing to editing and directing that what made it for me.

sad to see it end, but all good thing come to an end eventually hope they do not comeback and leave it as it is a very good show no need to reboot.

overall a ten show for me, a great show that had everything thought it run sadly missed by everyone.

Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001)
8/10
walker Texas ranger
24 January 2017
always like Chuck Norris since Good guys wear black days,and his made for DVD days that included the first Walker Texas ranger i remember.

Chuck was good in his role, as it suit him Walker Texas ranger an ass kicking last frontier lawman that pull no punch back up by the excellent Shree J Wilson.

my favourite bits were the bits, were Walter went undercover to break up different gangs.

it a shame that the TV movie idea, only last one film as one of these Walker show made for TV specials every couple of years was a good idea finshed before it run it course in my view Walker Texas Ranger.

Top Gear (2002–2022)
8/10
top gear version 2.0
23 January 2017
Top Gear started as a regional show in 1977, under Angela Rippon who now host rip off Britain for the BBC it been a show about torque more than cars.

Top Gear version 2.0 took that to the limit, under Jeremy Clarkson leadership it was more about torque than cars as it was a challenge based show.

that why Top Gear version 2 worked, it had enough car content in it to be car show but was entertainment based and that why it was a global smash hit version 3.0 was a disappointment in my view.

the torque come from the script, that written by clarkson after his co writer Richard porter set the challenge and studio links simple format. Andy wilman producing got him a well earn international Emmy and other awards a talented TV producer in my view.

Friday Night Lights (2006–2011)
9/10
Friday night lights
23 January 2017
i was a fan off the movie this series was based on and the TV series did justice to the movie and Texas love of football.

it also deal with issue around everyday life, that affected the team very well and in Kyle Chandler they had an excellent lead for this series.

the young crew around him did there job well, and the football scenes were well put together and were good backdrop to the story off the team.

the women in Friday night lights had good roles as well, Connie britton did a good job as the coach wife working around her husband job and bringing up the kids.

overall an excellent sports drama series based on one of the better sport movies i seen.

yes minster
23 January 2017
this is one of the best ever script comedy show, the British Broadcasting Corporation have ever produced wonderful writing.

the performances of the three leads are excellent, and sir Humprey speech that he run off are brilliant and the late Great Sir Nigel Hawthrone best work.

the Late Paul Eddington is excellent, as Jim Hacker and underrated Sitcom actor of some note Jim Hacker was his best work also work well of Nigel Hawthrone.

Derek Fowld does well as Bernard Jim hacker assistant,he does not look out off place alongside Two excellent lead in fact he help them by being top notch himself very good actor Derek Fowlds.

Sherlock (2010–2017)
5/10
Sherlock season 4
19 January 2017
after watching Sherlock season 4 it seem season 5 will be it last to me, as it getting to silly with it plot twist and story lines.

it seem that Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffatt, plot script are too hard to connect with as they are trying to hard to keep it going and make it challenging for the viewers.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are fine, as is the cast overall but it missing a spark and that the long breaks in between season in my view.

overall a disappointing season 4 of Sherlock, cap off by record low UK rating of 5. 9 million overnight for the season finale the end is near for Sherlock.

24 the keifer sutherland years
18 January 2017
what made 24 work under Keifer Sutherland reign for me was simple, he was an action hero but not muscle bound he could fight to a decent level. he take a beating if it he get the advantage, that why it works Bauer was pragmatic and did what it takes including torture his foe to keep USA safe.

also the way it was set up, following the action in 24 hours was ground breaking and made the action feel special and Keifer performance was spot on as was the cast who worked off him. Chloe O Brain was jack good side a voice of reason who could help him stay sane you need someone like that in jack line off work.

hope the new cast keep the core off the show real, but put there spin on it and if Jack Bauer made an appearance that would be the icing on the cake for me.

grand tour holy trinity review
15 January 2017
from the moment Jeremy Robert Charles Clarkson leave the building in the rain it right on the knuckle as he open some wounds over it by dressing his departure from the British Broadcasting Corporation.

when he lands in LA and drive the mustang the divorce is final and it beautiful shot by Grand Tour Executive Producer Andrew Neville Wilman leading to the hothouse flower singing I can see clearly now excellent.

the shootout with the Holy Trinity is well done as all three cars are important and it well done by the grand tour crew excellent.

good show overall well put together by Mr Wilman one of the best TV Producers working in TV Today good script by Clarkson and porter too.
