Boys from the Blackstuff (1982)
An indictment of capitalist society
I was a teenager when this came out and never watched it. I'm watching it now in my 50s. It is not easy going but it is amusing in parts and Bleasdale is brilliant in showing people's humanity even against the odds.
A series that beautifully captures the heartlessness of an unfettered Capitalist system, not to mention the disgrace that was the Thatcher years.
Maniac (2018)
Fabulous, intricate series
I think I must have watched this series 4 times already and it does not get old. A marvelous investigation of AI, depression, drugs and relationships. Stone and Hill are well matched and the storyline is gripping.
Laughter Talks: Netflix movie review for Concrete Cowboy (2021)
Loved this film
Gotta say I really loved this film. The characters were believable and the way the boy became a man was excellent. A beautiful film about struggling with the situation you've been put in and being surprised by how wrong you're assumptions are.
