Cash Trapped (2016)
needs rework
Took a while to figure out how show works. Not really impressed. It is too easy to win larger amounts by guessing in the head- to -head round, then the person with most money has too short a time to win final round with 5 other contestants who can't win, so all they have to do is press their buttons fast and give wrong answers to prevent them winning. I saw the run of episodes where one contestant left and I had actually thought more of them would have left after more than a week . For 5 contestants that's a whole week away from their family/work with absolutely nothing to show for it.
New Blood (2016)
refreshing
There has been such a glut of violent, seedy, in-your-face, downright depressing shows that this would come across as too mild for a lot of viewers . That is what I liked about this series. If you want a lot of swearing, gore , sex and drug influence stick with GOT or the many prison shows. This series is refreshing in not having any of those elements whilst still having enough story and character to be interesting and enjoyable. I am hoping there will be a series 2.
Der Bestatter (2013)
very good
Highly original. Script, acting and production all excellent. I got hooked on subtitles recently through netflix, as being rather a good way to "read" in bed. Didn't quite believe the love interest between Luc and Anna Marie and didn't like the way she was portrayed as constantly relying on him for assistance .
Although almost each episode was a stand-alone mystery, all the characters evolved throughout the season. It wasn't just about Luc, or solving crimes. There was a very human and very realistic basis to the whole series. All-in-all very satisfying to watch.
Gran Hotel (2011)
Enjoyable
Loved watching this series. The subtitles were sometimes rather amusingly bad. The fascination for me was in the Spanish language , the characters were well-portrayed and actors did their best with script. The story line though - what a joke. It just got worse and worse, until it stretched any credulity at all. Mills and Boon on the screen. If that's what you enjoy reading then you will greatly enjoy the series. Otherwise its a good way to enjoy learning Spanish.
Rita (2012)
worth watching
Half way through season 2 on netflix . Enjoying the series. Its amusing , well-written (even the subtitles are good) and well-acted. I have noticed, however, that it's always a lovely summer's day , and since Rita seems to never change her jeans , perhaps it was all shot in just one week?
