Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999)
I have reduced rating since Kelli left and new lady with ringlets joined
Hi, I have watched this series faithfully since day 1 but I have been seriously disappointed in it since Kelli Giddish left. There is no one who remotely is a match for Kelli Giddish. The two recently new female detectives are not interesting much. In particular the lady with the long ringlets, the one who came from Brooklyn I think, is awful. She is so abrasive and unlikeable, has no saving graces whatsoever. Tutiola is hardly in it, and he is one of my favs. Carisi is good but again isnt much in it anymore. It seems to be all about new people who are frankly rubbish. I would normally rate this 10/10, but have reduced to 8/10, and will reduce way lower if it doesnt improve. Why did they get rid of Kelli? She was SOOOO good, she lit up every scene she was in. She and Carisi, and she and Benson, were both good together. A massive hole left in the series. So sad.
True Detective (2014)
season 1 garbage but season 2 absolutely brilliant
Controversial folks !! I didn't like season 1 at all,totally boring as hell, however i never rate either woody or matthew as actors at the best of times. Both so full of themselves and the reality of their performances never even remotely matches up. Both boring most of the time in my view. Season 2 however was just amazing. Colin and rachel and vince were all excellent as was taylor. The story re Ray and his child was heart wrenchingly tragic. Poor Kelly Reilly didn't have a good role but she did the best she could with it i guess. She is normally excellent in British drama. Colin Farrell though did a career best with this one. I think he is an actor of such great breadth and capacity and sublety, sometimes he has had a wee wobble but overall one of my favourite actors, and indeed Irish as I am! So well done Colin! Indeed also well done Rachel and Vince. Rachel and Vince both also career best in my view. And the ensemble cast overall.I dare anyone to try top their performances in this amazing drama.
Transparent (2014)
i so loved this, i would love more of the same....
I so loved this one, didn't realise it was a pilot and was so looking forward to getting the remainder of the season 1, but there wasn't anymore. I searched for ages on all the streaming channels to see if I could find it...surely they wouldn't stop after just one episode? Great actors and great family drama, I particularly loved the story of the transvestite dad.....there is nothing else like this on at the moment, please do more of them......all of the actors' performances were very natural and it was great to see a drama that was just about a normal family without any glitz or glamour but at the same time showed how each family has its own challenges....does anyone know of anything else on at the moment that is like this? ....
