The Jury: Murder Trial (2024)
Could be better
I appreciate that the intention of this program was to determine whether two independent juries could come up with two different results. However, surely the experiment needed more control procedures to try and reduce (elimination not being possible) the impact of factors that would not be present within the original trial.
What I felt was that the experiment showed how two groups of differing people could come up with different results based upon interaction that would not be present within the court and trial system.
The fact that the people chose to go on a TV program, rather than the non optional reality of being put on jury duty, also shows that ego and playing to the camera were very present factors. I appreciate that the real pressure of being on jury duty could not be replicated, but the process and procedures could have been better simulated.
For me it was an interesting experiment but value degraded to make it a more watchable program.
The Watcher (2022)
I started an account just to warn people not to watch this
I have never been driven to write a review before, but felt so compelled to do so in the hope that I could save just one person's time from this utter claptrap.
There is suspending belief, poetic licence etc., but this is just utter garbage.
Save your time, read the reviews, even the 7 out of 10s are very critical and are much more entertaining.
Ridiculous plot holes that you could drive a coach and horses through. Characters that have no redeeming features whatsoever (ferret excluding, it looked quite friendly), are just two of the many major faults.
If you do watch this after reading this and other reviews then you only have yourself to blame 🤓
Doctor Who: Orphan 55 (2020)
Preaching at its worst
A standard Doctor Who jeopardy set up used often in both original and modern series. The issue I have with this episode is that this series was meant to be less preachy than the last but this couldn't be further from the truth and all sense of subtlety about the message gone. Directed by a G. Thunberg of Sweden.
