The King's Man (2021)
Decent!
Ignore the low star reviews, this is not a bad movie. It aimed to be a romanticised, mash-up of revisionist history, and it does just that in very fine form. A cool addition to the Kingsmen world.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Waltz (1998)
Terrific drama.
I rarely rate individual episodes, and this one has been sorely underrated. Star Trek is a wonderfully diverse series; sci-fi action, comedy, and as this episode demonstrates, quite capable of top-shelf drama.
The Comey Rule (2020)
Accurate and sensitive
Raised my estimate of Comey, and my appreciation for the difficulty of his available choices.

Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Tragic but brilliant
In the grand scheme, this episode's developments were, despite some assertions, very logical. Here's why: what the dragons actually represent throughout the whole series, are weapons of mass destruction. It speaks to the real dangers that we actually face in the world today. The danger of using the threat of WMDs is that at some point, a leader may feel pressured to follow through with their threat. And the danger of having one person solely in control of these weapons, is that they can be driven to madness. Yes, this is not your average episode, where we have become accustomed to expect and enjoy relishing the scheming and machinations that shift these power dynamics. But this episode represents the culmination of the geopolitical struggles we have been watching all along; it led to outright destruction. And I argue that it is likely very true to Martin's vision. It is and always has been a tragedy in the making, both Shakespearean and Greek in magnitude.
Welcome to Marwen (2018)
Underrated, sensitive and compassionate tribute.
This is a quaintly touching story and derserves far more credit than the reviewers have deemed. It is a pity that such works as this are made to suffer the institutional group-think of pundit Hollywood reviewers. Robert Zemeckis' digital animation is unparalleled. He will be remembered as a pioneer for his motion capture innovations.
