Waking the Dead: Substitute: Part 2 (2009)
Even for this show
I love this show but one of the drawbacks is how so many of the guilty parties never get caught or get killed in some twisted ending.
Arresting the guilty seems a rarity in this show,it is almost like the twist at the end has become a cliche.
However the shows overall still were brilliant for the majority, the start and ending to this muddled show was nonsensical at best, the DNA test at the start, and the ridiculous end makes this show the only episode worth completely skipping if doing a binge watch as I am doing.
Even the episode Deus Ex Machina, which was the worst up to this point suddenly seems better.
Broken Law (2020)
Every so often, we get a hidden gem
Out of the countless Irish films being slung out, every so often we get a hidden gem. This was NOT one of them.
This is abysmal, the acting atrocious, and music from that pretentious Damien Dempsey, was almost fitting.
The only character that was believable was connors playing a scumbag.
I gave it one star, as they dont allow minus sores.
Redemption of a Rogue (2020)
A hidden surprise.
I was not expecting much, but quite enjoyed this, it is dark, and funny if that is your thing, which is mine.
Good soundtrack, and some witty moments .
Was getting Nick Cave vibes of some of the dreams, and once you throw in Cavan and the rain, its a film you will like or hate.
Ricky Gervais: SuperNature (2022)
Refreshing, honest and funny
If you are watching this and looking for something to be offended over, then comedy is not for you.
My wife and I loved this........keep them coming.
The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
A return to form
After the abysmal and atrocious rubbish that was Anatomy of a scandal, David E Kelly seems to have returned to form.
I did initially set the bar lower than usual, but this was far better than I had hoped, moved at a decent pace with some clever parts.
Overall a very enjoyable watch.
Hidden Assets (2021)
I wished this show stayed hidden
Typical RTE rubbish with woeful actors.
The actress and I use the term loosely playing Nora is possibly the worst actress ever and for RTE that is no mean feat.
The main female lead Emer is equally as bad.
The plot holes are simply ludicrous, as in why did the guilty party go to the police to identify the photofit in the first place.
As an Irish person I set the bar low for RTE, and it was still worse than expected.
I gave it 2 stars because the scenery was good, and the Belgian lead actor was decent....but other than that a complete waste of time.
As for the ending, time I will never get back.
Slow Horses (2022)
The wait for season 2 is too long
I absolutely loved this, Oldman steals the show, but that takes nothing away from the rest of the cast who put in great performances in a riveting show.
I do hope each season is based on each book
If this show was twice as long it would have been still compelling.
After watching the first episode I was hooked and binge watched all six and the trailer for season 2 now has me already anticipating its return.
Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)
A waste of time
I saw David Kellys name and thought it was promising and I like Dockery. And Rupert friend since homeland, but this show was awful.
Sienna Miller's character was worse than a cardboard cut out, as a cardboard cut out is less irritating.
By episode 3 I was fast forwarding it.
