Top Boy (2011–2023)

A perfect series

[10/10 · 20 September 2019]

This show is flawless in every way.

The story, acting, music, atmosphere, just blew me away. The ending was emotional and must admit, I hated Dushane at the close but hands down, the best thing I've watched in years.

Outstanding performance (especially Sully and Dris).

A truly brilliant show.

Game of Thrones (2011–2019)

Like a good relationship gone very bad.

[1/10 · 14 June 2019]

It starts off beautiful, exciting, nerve wracking even. Your learning about the character, the depth, the complexity. Your heart flutters every time you see her (the show) and you long for more. SEASON 1-6

Then cracks start to show, somethings changed, somethings going wrong. You question is this the person i thought you knew? Their different, less genuine, rushing you when you want time, less patient and caring, like you are bothering them. Then you realised everything you thought you loved has decayed and been replaced by something that looks and feels like her (the show), but deep down something is really not right. SEASON 7

Before you know it things are awful. Everything frustrates you. They have become so annoying and irritating, it pains you to watch it happen but you realise they just don't care. All the things you felt are eroded. You begin to hate them and yourself for enduring but see it through to a horrendous end. At that point the once great love you had is replaced by loathing. That's game of thrones. Don't bother unless your a glutton for masochistic disappointment.

Black Summer (2019–2021)

A realistic zombie apocalypse

[10/10 · 17 April 2019]

I though this was superb!

Binged the full season in one day whilst pretending to work. Yes, the character development is zero but that's the point, it's a zombie apocalypse not an episode of friends.

And " critics" saying where are their weapons or shoot them in the head? If I was getting chased by a rabid brother in law who wants to maul me to death, I wouldn't be a brilliant shot either especially when I'm used to an easy going suburban life of tv and PlayStation.

It isn't walking dead, it's not rick grimes running the show killing zombies with a pencil, it's terrified people running away rather then becoming hardened post apocalyptic survivors in 8 x 20 minute episodes.

Good opener all round and hope for a second series.
