The Lovers (2023)
Instantly likeable characters and story!
Brilliant! Funny! Endearing! Apart from the two main characters the supporting cast are an absorbing mix of individuals who are so funny and an instant success! The fact that the episodes are only very short (25 mins) means that each one has very little time to bring the story to life, but it succeeds 100% and keeps the interest and intrigue as to where the story will go! The various emotions and twists and turns only help to build the wonder as to how it will all end, with a mix of serious issues from the past and how it affects people in current times all with a clever use of humour and singular personal issues. All in all a well directed, produced and acted series.
The Newsroom (2012)
Start a Campaign to BRING IT BACK,
The Newsroom was the most exceptional program for a decade with brilliantly written storyline's and top acting from all the cast involved! Sadly it was cancelled, why when it was so popular? Simply because it upset too many influential politicians plus the billionaires who buy them and their votes. It also exposed how media are dominated and controlled by owners business and political interests.
BRING BACK THE NEWSROOM NOW! TV needs quality, intelligent programs now more than ever at a time when "so called" reality shows dominate the screens, we need shows that challenge the mind rather than trash it! So to all those who loved this show, make HBO bring the show back with as much of the same cast as possible!
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Very Disappointing end to the legendary series!
Just such a mess, with the farcical return of Palpatine who even more farcically turns out to be Reys grandfather (with no explanation who her grandmother was, or who her parents were and which one was palatines son/daughter!). So many things that mirrored the return of the Jedi big finish ie the rebel fleet facing destruction (again), the evil sidekick Ren (before Vader) turns good to help kill the evil emperor, lots of rushed scenes, lots of silly stuff (horses attacking a star destroyer etc etc. On the whole badly written un-George Lucas storyline, just a rip off of his original! The series deserved so much more! It needs a re-write and new release!
Another Life (2019)
Ok so it has it's issues..but it has promise!
Downsides .... silly characters on board spaceship, none are believable with so many stupid issues, they would never have passed the psych test! Likewise the ground zero with artefact is stupid, the father has his kid there...seriously, and he not only talks to a journo, he lets her loose when she has been taken over by an alien!! That being said I hope that they make a second series and sort it out!
