Big Little Lies (2017–2019)

High Expectations

[6/10 · 24 February 2018]

I was late to watching this show which meant i'd heard the hype, reviews and unfortunately a few spoilers prior to watching it.

I think the acting was amazing, especially Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard. Their scenes always made me extremely nervous as I didn't know which way it was going to go.

Aside from this, I found the series a bit boring and predictable (that is perhaps because of the spoilers I had half heard beforehand) but I think even without the spoilers, the big twist at the end wasn't that much of a twist and wasn't that exciting or shocking.

Worth a watch, but not a re-watch.

Angel (1999–2004)

One of my all time favourite shows

[10/10 · 24 February 2018]

I watched Angel as it first aired in early 00's and loved it immediately. Almost 20 years on and it still remains one of my favourite shows ever.

David Boreanaz is brilliant as Angel and his "side-kicks" Cordelia, Wesley, Gunn, Lorne and Fred just make the show complete.

Cordelia and Wesley have fantastic character growth in Angel compared to their characters in Buffy and end up entirely different people to who they started off as, but the growth was slow, genuine and believable.

There are still a few low points to the series which can't be ignored. Season 4 as a whole wasn't great, especially what was done to Cordelia's character. Connor was annoying for the entire length of season 4 but they redeemed his character in season 5.

All in all, an amazing series that you must see if you love sci-fi, vampires, buffy or just looking for something new to watch!
