Ziggy and the Zoo Tram (2016)
Not sure what to make of it...
A bunch of animals working in a zoo keeping other animals behind bars (Wouldn't this now be technically a Prison). Driving around aimlessly in a tram on rails which can be changed on a second by second basis into a hoover craft, helicopter, walking biped, and a myriad of other things whilst encountering things and stuff happens. Some quite contraversial topics coveres like ziggy finding another crocodile in the sewers and adopting him leading to some issues before he returns the croc to his family (who presumably flushed him down the toilet as a runt/ or paid so little attention they didn't realise he was gone). To let you know and benchmark how cynical i am, I love "Hey Duggee" which is 10/10 across the board, so hopefully my credentials established you can have a crack at this and see if you can make head nor tail of this show.
Rillington Place (2016)
Great promise - failed to deliver
The subject matter and atmosphere, are excellent but the story is plodding and flat. It is to a degree impressive that Tim Roth is unrecognizable and credit should be given for an excellent convincing accent, which often proves to be the downfall of many an A-lister trying to do serious Drama. But therein lies the issue, there never feels like there is much serious Drama, it is a dark and brooding subject matter but it comes across as meandering and lethargic. The audio is variable, often needing subtitles as the set pieces of dialogue were often breathy or quiet.
Interesting, but did not live up to, or make the most of it's potential.
