68 Whiskey (2020)
Great TV show looking forward season 2
Well this is a great show. Acting was good and I love the story line with medics getting into all sorts trouble. This has a hint of modern day MASH to me and with a bit more seasons under its belt and some more scripting to the plot this will be a great hit. Can't wait to see season 2
Locke & Key (2020)
Can't wait for season 2
I loved this show, has a hint stranger things. At first I thought I would skip the show as it looks to much like a kids show but I am glade I did not. It has magic, suspense thriller story line and potential for a second series. Not sure what people are saying about poor story, i thought it was very good and the characters are great, you get to know them well and fall in love with them. Looking forward to season 2
Normal People (2020)
Emotional story
I thought Outlander was emotional and romantic then came Normal People. This is a beautiful and powerfully emotional roller coaster of a story. It's hard to watch at times without getting frustrated with how two people who love one another and obviously should be with one another cannot get that communication across. If you watch this through to the end this will bring a lot of joy and sadness throughout the series. Well written and beautifully acted by the two main characters.
Treadstone (2019)
Why so many subtitles
I was looking forward to this but they have ruined what was going to be a good series and will probably now be cut and never made again.
The biggest thing from America lately is to put in lots foreign language and subtitles. This show has a lot and when reading subs your vision/viewpoint is taken away from the show and characters so you do not get the connection with the show and loose interest.
got to episode 3 before i got fed up with all the subtitles and ditched it
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Very disapointed
Well most people have already said it all, what a bad film this is. This really is just a money film for a director that does not want to do any work. When they had a good film franchise title and guaranteed box office seats with a good budget to spend you would at least think they could be bothered to write a different story rather then just reproducing the same story with hardly any changes.
To top this off we start the film in Mexico so you need to be reading subs for the first part which distracts from the film, why bother we know it in Mexico.
Sarah Connor now in her 60's we are suppose to believe she is still killing of terminators and getting thrown around and still gets up, at one point I thought she might get her zimmer frame out and throw it at the terminator. Even nicking the one liners which the first Terminator used was a joke, "I'll be back", I wont. Really this was so unbelievable it was cringing to watch.
Then comes Arnold's script a terminator which has now grown a consonance and want to setting down with a family haha, I thought this was an action film not a comedy.
Really with this franchise in hand the director needs to be sacked and stop producing films in the future. They have ruined this franchise and this really is the end to the terminator
Euphoria (2019)
Need to watch it all to appreciate the plot
A lot of the low rating critics on here are from people who have watched one episode and made their mind up without watching the full story. Like reading the back plot of a book and them making a review on the whole book.
Granted the first episode was slow and a bit hard to watch, the plot was strange, and I thought it was more about how they can shock the audience with nudity and sex scenes. Some of this could have been removed but it seems some TV shows now days need to punch above the line to get head line news good or bad to get attention.
Any way I've just finished season 1 and think this show really gives a good insight into living with depression, drugs and bipolar. I think Rue's character was excellently played and makes you feel happy on her highs with Jules but real sadness with what depression is really like and how you can spiral down a whole with no ending.
I for one liked the show and will be looking forward to the second season. If you are sensitive to nudity and sex on TV then you might want to give this show a miss.
Instant Family (2018)
Wow great family film
I went to see this last week with my 18 year old daughter and 15 year old son. We all left the cinema very happy after experiencing what I would say was the best comedy family film for years. This film is an emotional rollercoaster from happy, sad, to laughing out loud I even shed a few tears on this one thanks Mark. Being a true story made this so much more moving and before you get up at the end credits sit back and see the real people shown as they are today, nice touch. I love the way Mark Wahlberg has gone from action movie star to comedy he has transitioned very well and makes this movie great. I though he was very good in daddy's home and he brings this excellent comedy acting into this film.
This is a film to put on your watch list and I expect we will watch this more than once, twice....
On a serious note this puts across the adoption and foster story well and I expect this will help some families have serious conversations about this topic.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
season two excellent
I was not too impressed with season 1 the show was a bit cold characters especially the captain at the end was not great un very uninteresting, also redoing the same old war with the Klingons along with subtitles made me almost not want to watch season two. Same old same old very boring.
But if you can bring yourself to overlook the fact this is rewriting the star trek story and cannot explain why the other past shows did not have the technology that was invented in this show then you may fall in love with season two.
First of the captain change was excellent (great acting by Anson Mount), almost like bring back captain kirk and we have the younger spock back. The story has changed for the better, with out giving away the plot this season brings what I think skyfi should be. Great plot keeping you on the edge of your seat and excited to watch the next episode.
I agree with most poor reviews on here for season one but season two so far is excellent and I hope they keep up this story writing. Great to see start trek back on tv again I love it.
