New Girl: Cece's Boys (2017)
Best enjoyed in silence...
Gosh... this episode is fantastic! The most laughs. The bonding between the boys after a short discussion about losing touch with Coach is awesome. A trip to the Spa could only be Schmidt's idea.
Reagan is growing on me although there's nothing amusing about her character. She's definitely a straight man to the comedy of all the others.
The development of CeCe's modelling agency is hilarious. With the help of Reagan and Jess she ends up with a hodge podge of clients that cover so many demographics.
So many laugh of loud moments in this episode. I actually watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Enjoy!
My Policeman (2022)
Beautiful and slow
This certainly isn't an action filled adrenaline rush. It's a slow paced, character study of three flawed people that just want to be loved for who they are, in a time where who the were was forbidden.
An tear-jerking telling of a story, sadly, not uncommon.
The entire lead cast was delightful. There's been criticism that Harry Style doesn't work here, but I think he does. He emotes, he delivers his lines with passion and gravitas, and there's clear chemistry between the players in the 50s timeline.
The 90s timeline cast are wonderful and draw the heartstrings back with vigour before letting them go with a sting.
I'd recommend. Have tissues handy, you might need them.
Pursuit (2022)
Oh no...how disappointing.
I paid A$7.99 to see this on Amazon. I wanted to see the latest from John Cusack having just watched the gem that is Americas Sweethearts and I like a change of pace in a good action thriller.
This, sadly was not a good anything. The plot was confusing. Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. Is the Grandad a bad guy? What about the hacker? He's just trying to find his wife. What about the gay guy? Surely the cop is a good guy? Opps looks like they might be bad guys too. Is it about drugs? Kidnapping? Or revenge, maybe it's all of the above...crammed into 2hrs of off kilter sound (dialogue hushed, music loud and over dramatic), phoned in acting (sorry guys and gals), terrible choppy editing, and direction that looks like the Director threw his hands in the air and said...do whatever you want!
The steak is over cooked and those vests do not even remotely fit!
Ten Percent (2022)
Quirky and fun
I hope there's a second season. I want to know what's next for bunch of weirdos. They're all so flawed and make spectacularly bad decisions, but I love them. So human.
Dexter: New Blood: Cold Snap (2021)
Perfect first episode for a new beginning.
They set up Dexter's new life nicely and take care to show Jim living a slower pace but *he's* still in there, rippling under the surface. Little things he says are carefully measured. This is what creates the humour and tension peppered throughout.
I'm so excited to watch how this unfolds.
Stumptown (2019)
Lockdown gold
I happened upon this during yet another lockdown. I binged the entire thing over four days and it's absolutely wonderful. Dex is a flawed character with PTSD who's trying her best to stay afloat and support her younger brother (who has Downs). Her complicated, and diverse, love life is just one of the many delightful and refreshingly honest storylines.
It's only 18 episodes do yourself a favour and watch them all.
Lucifer: Spoiler Alert (2020)
DeckerStar is back!
I'm loving Season 5 and the chemistry is wonderful. The police cases seem to have taken a back seat and are acting as a vehicle to move the stories of the main players forward, more than in previous seasons.
The focused episodes on Maze and Linda are great, but please, can we cut Ella some slack, he was perfect for her until his passion for hydroponics is revealed.
Looking forward to part 2
