Sexy Beast (2024)
Completely Ignore the negative comments
I am absolutely loving this series, a fun roller coaster ride backed up with some good music. I read some of the bad reviews, they clearly don't get it, the era, the part of London it's set in. One alleged "writer " gave it one star and then I looked at some of his other reviews and he gave the dreadful Mr &Mrs Smith an eight! No credibility.
The acting is great, Tamsin Greig who is a comedian is great as an East End Moll. Her brother Don, is also brilliantly acted, because you hate him, and you're supposed to.
The main character Gal is great, he's charming and the person playing him James McCardle is perfect in the role.
Ignore the losers, this is series worth watching!
Amazing Grace (2021)
Not too bad
Great cast of Australian actors and great shots of Sydney, albeit a lot of artistic license as to the location of the hospital and birthing centre.
Whilst I appreciate the world is full of obnoxious revolting teenage girls, they managed to find best of that ilk to play Sophia. Horrible, horrible person, and unfortunately the show is let down by excusing her behaviour, rather than addressing it.
The rest of the cast were great and it's a shame it was cancelled.
Tokyo Vice (2022)
Ruined by the last episode
Really enjoyed this until the unbelievably clichéd last episode. Such a waste of a good series. Possibly setting it up for another season, but having to concentrate with all the subtitles, I will not bother to watch if it does eventuate, which is a shame.
Queer as Folk (2022)
Vacuous as Folk
This is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen on TV! Unrealistic characters (or if they are I'm never going back to America) completely vacuous and unlikable. Kim Cattrall and Ed Begley Jr, what the hell are you doing in this rubbish.
The UK series, is the original and the best of the three and this crap does not deserve the same title.
Ten Percent (2022)
Started so well
This show started so well, and then turned into a complete farce, and yes it based on a French farce, but this became awful. The awkwardness is pathetic, the secrets and lies are tiresome, Dan is pathetic, some of the scenes are completely unbelievable, so disappointed after a brilliant start.
NCIS: Hawai'i (2021)
Get rid of Lucy
Whilst the plot lines are dubious at times, and why the hell NCIS are investigating most of the crimes, with the connection to the Navy an enormous stretch, it's not too bad.
The big thing wrong with the show is the annoying pathetic little character Lucy. The other annoyance is Ernie, who is nerdy which h is cliched and unbelievable. But Lucy needs to be either killed off or transferred. Producers take note.
Our Flag Means Death (2022)
Very clever
Reading some of these reviews it's clear that they are written by Americans who wouldn't know good humour unless it slaps them on their faces!
This is a great series, high camp, very Kiwi humour and a great ensemble cast and cameos. Taika does it again, and Rhys Darby is hilarious, as are his misfit bunch of "Pirates ". Who cares if it isn't following the facts, it's a comedy. Well written and even better acted.
Who would've thunk it, Stede and Blackbeard in a Rom Com.
One of Us Is Lying (2021)
Great show ruined by pathetic ending
I didn't think I would enjoy this show, but I did a lot right up until the ending. Whilst I predicted the killer about episode two, I still wanted to watch it. Ending was cliched and poorly done. Not happy.
Ted Lasso: Beard After Hours (2021)
Filler episode
Hate these filler episodes that have no relevance to anything. The rest of the series is 10 out of 10 this episode was garbage. One of the best written shows that doesn't need this crap.
Deceit (2021)
Poorly Directed
This could have and should have been great, but the direction was rubbish, particularly when it came to the Lizzie, the main character.
Over acting, bad acting ruined this.
This Is Pop (2021)
US Crap
This show is made for the American market and should really just play in the American market.
The Blacklist: Godwin Page (No. 141) (2021)
Tedious
This revenge storyline is tedious. Should have concluded weeks ago.
Them (2021)
Enough already, we get it
I am sure if you can watch this all the way through it is probably good. As a non American these shows are way too confronting, we've had Lovecraft Country, Watchmen, and others recently taking the Black Lives Matter cause to the extreme. Yes white America has been appalling to Black people and the history is damning, but the plethora of shows highlighting it lately are getting too much.
Four Weddings and a Funeral (2019)
Really bad
The further the show goes on, the more you dislike it and every character in it. The only characters remotely likeable are fringe characters Bryce and politician Andrew
Enola Holmes (2020)
I really wanted to love it
So many stupid implausible plots considering the characters and their "talents".
Still watchable but could have been better
The Flight Attendant (2020)
Dreadful
I should have known better considering the lead actress was in another awful tv show. Her character is too over the top in an American way, no cleverness just in your face dreary slapstick.
