Is Al Pacino short of cash?
11 January 2021
This is the most clichéd program I've ever seen. it's a shame really as it could of been a good story, but ruined by the daft characters and poor writing.

Hard Sun (2018)
A waste of licence payers money
20 January 2018
No plot no substance, the characters are dimensionless. I'm 3 episodes in and can't wait for the world to end. It's well produced but that doesn't matter as the content is rubbish. Not sure if I'll carry on or Gouge my eyes out.

True Detective (2014– )
5/10
OK not worth all the praise in my opinion.
13 August 2017
I have just finished watching season 1, this was my second attempt as I tried to watch it when it was originally aired however I found it boring and couldn't stick with it. Anyway this time a persevered. The show got off to a painfully slow start I found the first 3 episodes slow going and it wasn't until the 4th episode that the story actually got going. I found the story line very predictable I was waiting for a twist which never happened. Reading the reviews of season 2 I'm not sure if I will continue.

Broadchurch (2013–2017)
4/10
Not great and it raises many questions
30 May 2017
I just finished binge watching Season 1, as I actually gave up with it when it was originally aired as it was too slow for me at the time.

I had figured out who the killer was by the third episode I was hoping to be proved wrong but wasn't. The things that I found frustrating was that this small town of 15,000 had its own state of the art police station with CID and a local newspaper etc, you would be hard pushed to find anywhere like that, furthermore since when to investigating journalists get involved with crime investigations it was total drivel as in as the press would ruin any active investigation.

The acting was good but I found the scripts where poorly written, its know wonder that DS Miller didn't get the DI position as she is clueless.

I thought the way they caught the killer was a joke him just giving up like that.

After watching season 1 I don't see how they can drag it out over 2 more seasons. I found this to be a half arsed attempt of what could of been a good crime drama.

Great show I hope it gets renewed for another series

I've just finished watching this show and I was impressed with the attention to detail, it really does transport you back in time, the acting was good as was the storey line. I never actually watched the original Prime Suspect show with Helen Mirren so I watched this show with fresh eyes and can not compare it to the original show.

I hope this gets renewed for follow up seasons.

Oh dear, what have CBS done....
16 May 2017
I am a avid watcher of the original Criminal Minds, and when I saw that they where doing a new spin off I was looking forward to it, but oh dear.

This program is terrible I am glad to find out that it has been cancelled after 2 seasons. The plot is basically US is great and the rest of the world is just incompetent mindless idiots, what makes me laugh is the opening credits where it says millions of Americans leave the safety of our own boarders each year. The show consists of the team invading a foreign country guns blazing and full jurisdiction putting the locals to shame and solving the crimes in a super quick fashion.

I read a comment that said this show is Team America World Police and I think that sums it up completely, furthermore the shows researchers are absolutely appalling in fact I would go as far as saying they probably didn't have any researchers , the show in Turkey they where speaking Arabic!?!?! and each episode just offended every nation they supposedly visited.

No no no no no!

Words can not describe how terrible this film is, I would go as far and say that this incarnation of Ghostbusters destroyed my childhood memory of the classic Ghostbusters films. Everyone involved with this film should hang their heads in shame for ruining a film that could of had such potential and rebooted the series.

Acting is terrible, the plot is none existent, I genuinely hope I can erase my memory of watching this film, and just remember how good the original films where.

Prison Break (2005–2017)
3/10
What are people thinking!?!?!?!
16 May 2017
I missed out on Prison Break when it was on first time round, so as there was a new incarnation of the show I decided to catch up. Right from series 1 I found the show laughable, the story line is terrible and the show goes downhill from there, season 3 was tedious and boring and season 4 is just a joke, If it wasn't for the fact I live in China and don't have a large selection of English TV programs I would of given up with this a long time ago.

to sum the show up, everyone stabs each other in the back over and over again but then forgets about it and remains friends until the next dispute, by season 4 it seems to happen 3 or 4 times an episode. I am baffled why the show was renewed for a 5th season.
