I put this on in the background just because, I expected it to be just as cheesy as Death in Paradise, or Beyond Paradise, which let's face it, are OK, they are mediocre at best. This is a little better, and reminds me of reruns of Murder She Wrote. The only thing I will say, is the acting in this is much better, I mean it does have Jane Seymour in it... it is well written and the dialogue, more often than not, is realistic, swearing etc. Just like any normal people do.

The individual episodes are nothing special, but, as I said, overall it's not a bad show and kind of sucks you in to watch it. You don't know why... you just do. It's not a bad series and worth a look.

Hes some good moments but not enough to make it worth recommending. Overall the story is not new. Basically, just a ripoff of many other similar movies, where the employees are screwed over by the evil boss and they try to get back what they are owed... like I said, it's not a new story. The movie itself is not originally acted or shot. The three main leads are good. Not great. I lot of reviews here are glowing about the movie, but I found it to be nothing special. It's not even that funny. It's not even that empowering, unless you've never seen the 100's of similar movies. Watch it if you must or want, but don't expect much.

Let's discuss a few things about this: they fail to mention that pretty much all dating apps do the same thing - provide a venue for dating and affairs. Ashley Madison was simply open about it. All dating apps have more women than men on them, and AM is not any different. Why, if that is the case, did they focus on mainly men? Why did they focus on the idea of extramarital affairs etc. When the real issue was the hack and the reason behind it.

Basically, it is a highly biased and poorly put together 'documentary' that they want to use to portray the evil of AM, while failing to really do any real research into the overall online dating world. Frankly, the entire hack was clearly someone wanted to take down AM, they were, and still are, quite successful (I have no affiliation with AM). They should have looked at the hack and the social engineering component in more detail. They have discussed how, it may have had a positive impact on relationships (as was said in one interview - there is a difference between sex and love)... overall it was clear from the onset there was an agenda.

I started watching it because I was bored. I thought it was badly written, mediocre acting, but great views of Toronto and unashamedly refers to street's and areas of Toronto.

I liked Cindy Sampson in Supernatural. I was never really a fan of Jason Priestley, but he is very likeable in this show. To say the least the show has grown on me. Now I'm on season 3. I don't know whether to be concerned about my show watching or just enjoy it for fun show it is. I also started liking the two actors that play Maz and Zoe. Ultimately just a fun show to watch. Just don't expect any great writing or acting.

I do not expect great shows or movies to come out of Netflix any more. This is a great example of the mediocre crap that comes form them. Will Forte as the annoying American that has never been anywhere, likewise his equally naive assistant, and the Irish/British reporter that is cynical and jaded... played well by Siobhan Cullen.

Basically it follows them around trying to figure out an old mystery in a small Irish town. It is written almost as a podcast, where you can see things coming from quite a distance... one of the only things I learnt was that Samhain is pronounced sah-win or sow-in, properly. That was one of the few things I took away. Otherwise, it is just another mediocre Netflix show.

This game came out before "The Last of Us", and that game is just a more brutal adaptation of this game. Both series, as a result are quite good. After watching both, I can honestly say that I prefer this version. Its dark humour, its dystopian I love it. The choice of music is excellent and adds to the dystopian feel of the show. I can't wait to see what they do with the second series in the show. The ending certainly opens up a bunch of possibilities.

This show is really about a version of Edgar Allan Poe's "the Story of Dr. Tar and Professor Feather", or as they say in the show "what happens when the ranchers have more power than the sheriff". In the end, we still don't find out, really. We just see that they are just two sides of the same coin.

Overall a great story and great action. Not really seeing the John Wick thing. Maybe more of a die hard connection. Either way it's a good story, good characters. I do like Dev Patel and the things he does. He is a well rounded and talented actor, producer, writer. He has definitely moved beyond where he started.

Honestly, this movie could be set in any big city and still work. That he set it in a location he knows best is fantastic. He has insight into the locale. That is what makes the movie work. The struggle that everyone feels to get out from under their respective circumstances. The things that a person has to do to leave things behind. The sacrifice (wanted, unwanted and needed).

Definitely worth a watch.

I understand rebooting a show. You can't compare the original. Different eras. Different sensibilities etc. That isn't the issue, at least for me. The issues are 1) acting - it's mediocre at best 2) writing - predictable and just poor 3) the premise - poorly thought out and just not done well (see 2 and 1, above). Overall unless you are just not that bright and want everything spoon fed (or you're 10 years old), this show will hurt your brain. It has very little to redeem it and I tried. I tried watching it. In fact I gave it 5 episodes. Hoping it would get better. It didn't. Nothing happened.

It's not worth the brain cells.

The first of these was horrible and I gave it a 3. This movie, which I was hoping would be better, is not. It deserves worse... but I'm being kind.

Basically is just a crappy remake the Seven Samurai, or Magnificent Seven, if you prefer the American versions. The story is weak. The writing is horrible. I can't actually believe that this was purchased by a studio for anything. Since usually the movie is worse than the book, I can't even begin to think of goes bad the book is.

Overall, the actors are good and I expected better from them. But, there is only so much you can do with a crappy script.

The only downside to the movie was Conor McGregor. His acting is not great. But, I'm not sure if that is just the way he moves or the director just couldn't get him to act.

Jake Gyllenhaal was great. He did a really good job at playing the lead. He was likeable, and tough. Everyone else in the movie was good, just not Conor McGregor. It kind of turned me off.

Overall the movie was a good updated version. It was different enough that you can appreciate both for different reasons. Honestly, I kind of like the update.

Yes, times are different and most remakes suck. This one didn't suck. It is not a perfect movie, just a great deal of fun.

Love the series. But, honestly, I've never seen a bunch of more selfish individuals that are essentially just wimps. The interesting thing is that there is one truly amazing character amongst the main character's and he is initially presented as the weakest. But, he turns out to be the strongest of them all. The others are just wildly annoying and painful to watch.

I had heard of the books. I knew of the 3 Body problem from maths. The series, as I said, is really well done and's I love it. But they really could have made the main characters more likeable. Benedict Wong and Liam Cunningham are great as always.

This is a mediocre show, but it's not bad. Basically Death in Paradise meets Murder She Wrote... both equally mediocre shows.

Overall it is enjoyable, with some annoying characters, and typical brits, mostly overweight. The acting is better than I expected. But, overall, it is just a so so show with not much mystery. Most of the 'mysteries' are easy to solve, even not watching and having it in the background as noise I can figure it out relatively easily. Some of the actors are better than others, some are overacting like crazy... I blame that on direction... but as I said... it's not a bad background show.

Ok, the movie is a bit of a mess. It isn't all that great... The writing is predictable, but overall, it's not as bad as some of the reviews would have you think. I can't help thinking that the writers just didn't get the concept. The 4 main characters were good, and you were able to see where they were coming from and where they were going. It was a messy ride though.

To be fair, I was never a fan of the Madame Web character, if in the graphic novels/comics. But, I thought I would give it a go, since I never want to believe really bad reviews, as I always think that (especially where there are female leads) the reviewers have issues with female heroes. As I said, is it great? No. Is it worth a look? Yes. Just understand that it is a good concept, but it could have been better.

Were there some plot holes? Yep. Glaring. Was it boring at times? Absolutely!

But, was it, overall, a fun movie? Yes.

The movie is basically about the usual: revenge for what humans did, and the deal they made to keep themselves alive while sacrificing others.

Basically, it is a story of how greed, lies and fear will be the ruin of anyone. The girl that faced her fears, and realised that it was all a lie survives. Not a particularly original concept, but a good story overall. As I said above, it is not a perfect story by any stretch of the imagination. Which is generally my problem with many modern writers: a lack of imagination.

I still think it is worth the watch.

This movie tries too hard to be a comedy, more to the point a romantic comedy. It fails. There is little chemistry between anyone. Honestly, why would you have Rachel Griffiths playing an American?!

I started out being doubtful about the quality of the movie and it really did not disappoint. They tried some physical comedy, they tried some romance... about the only really interesting thing is how they inserted the quotes from the actual play "Much Ado About Nothing" into the movie. They are interesting in that they can act as chapter headings for the movie. Aside from that they rest of the cast is blah... if you get a chance to see this movie... don't.

This movie is just a mess. They tried. But, overall the entire movie makes no sense. It feels very much like a filler 'episode' in a series. They wanted to fill some gaps and introduce other characters, but in the end, they simply did nothing more than make a confusing movie. You know it's a problem when the cats are the best part of the movie. Sadly they are only on for about 20 minutes in total. The rest of the movie you are simply sitting there wondering when it will get better, or when this thing will start to make any real sense in the entire MCU - hint, it never does. Frankly, if you never see this movie you will not miss a thing.

The original movie was not bad. It had a dry humour that appealed. The two characters in this are put together awkwardly and this series watches them as they evolve into the team they are in the movie. Both of them, Danny Glover and Maya Erskine, are good in their roles. They are feeling each other out, as well as figuring out who they're working for and why.

Is it the best series on prime? No. Is it better than Citadel, which is a huge piece of crap. These two are likeable, interesting to watch. The writing is good. If a bit slow. It's immensely watchable. I don't know why all the really negative reviews.

Is it me or is this just a space opera remake of the seven samurai, the magnificent seven, if you prefer. Ultimately it's seven 'outlaws' against the evil empire or whatever. The idea sounds great. The seven samurai is a classic after all.

That said, the movie, or more specifically, part one, doesn't really grab anything. They made everyone too generic. Killed off the actors or characters that had real potential to save the ones with known names. There are many ways this could have been done better, not use Zack Snyder, possibly may have been one option. His movies are stilted and lifeless. This is a mediocre movie at best. Not nearly worth the hype.
