After the Flood (2024)
Better than most things out there.
That may be a bit of faint praise but I'm on episode 3 and still watching. It would be better without her husband. There is no chemistry there. He's annoying I think it would be better if she wasn't pregnant quite frankly it just detracts from the story line of her being a detective. I like detective dramas not soap operas which this could become if they're not careful.
I appreciate that climate change is making its way in to a production! Better late than never I guess and it will be interesting to see as I progress through the season how they continue to acknowledge it and try to address it in their little town.
Elysium (2013)
Okay but...
Like so many movies and television series it just could have been so much better with so little work.
Spoiler alert
It started off interesting then became mediocre and the ending was a big disappointment. The storyline had a lot of potential wish they had gotten up to the orbital space station much sooner in the storyline. Developed characters more and relied on techno battles less.
There were subplots like the role Jodie Foster plays that could have been developed so much better and her talent utilized. Some background on how the development of the haves and have nots developed would have been interesting. So many aspects would have been more interesting than how the last third of the movie went. They should give me a call.
Torpedo (2019)
I love a good submarine movie but....
It was really pretty lame It could have been so much better seemingly without a lot of effort. First off, there's a woman on a submarine on a secret mission! Yeah that'll happen 😆
Then they get rammed and sink to the bottom. But hero swims out the torpedo tube and saves the day kind of stupid nonsense.
There were other subplots that were silly and it was just a complete knockoff of every other submarine movie you've ever seen.
I don't know how anybody gave this eight stars!
It always bothers me when with a little bit more effort, a very marginal movie could have been decent. This is one of them. The ending was particularly bad.
Jett (2019)
Great and engaging show!
I don't give high reviews to very many TV shows. Jett was a well acted and intelligent thriller.
I found the casting to be excellent. It was just quirky enough without being too quirky. It only sometimes had to tendency to go on a bit too long with some scenes.
I have no doubt that if it hadn't been on bloody Cinemax it probably would have done very well on a larger platform like Netflix or Amazon.
It is so sad that It was not picked up by a larger network as engaging television series with strong female leads are nearly impossible to find.
Not to mention the cliff hanging ending to season 1 will never be resolved in that always annoys me!
