Matilda: The Musical (2022)
See the musical!
This lost more of the musical than I would have liked.
I also found Emma Thompson one of the weaker bits. Loved the kids but the story has just been played around with a bit too much for me. Stephen Graham was great casting as Dad, couldn't decide if his teeth were supposed to look so fake 'trying to make himself look good and doing it wrong' or just poor fitting.
Didn't like the 'revolution' and the 'phys ed' class.
There was also a bit too much grey areas and possible redemption which isn't in the book/musical/original.
I also felt they were trying to appeal to the American market whilst keeping it British which jarred slightly.
Doctor Who: Rosa (2018)
Uncomfortable watch...
But a fantastic piece of drama. Yes I missed the light hearted bits but we've had plenty this series already.
This was particularly hard hitting considering today's society still shows those racist attitudes. Well done team!
