The Sandman: The Sound of Her Wings (2022)
Beautiful
Simply put, one of the best episodes of television I've seen. Moving and totally engaging with great performances. Can be enjoyed as a stand alone episode. The score for this show is sublime, will be investigating more of David Buckley's work. Really hope The Sandman is released on DVD soon.
Fear the Walking Dead: Gone (2022)
No no no no no
Can't believe how much this show has gone down the toilet since 4. Had just given up halfway through this abysmal season and saw Madison on a still so jumped to end and wish I hadn't bothered. What a way to ruin her send off in the stadium. Throw all the writers in a pit with the walkers!
Evil: E Is for Elevator (2021)
Nightmare inducing
I already had a problem with lifts/elevators. Now I really don't want to get in one! Entertaining episode though season one generally much better. I understand what viewers are saying about the politics and yes the child actors are annoying but I think Katya Herbers is great and hopefully she gets more to do as the season progresses.
A Discovery of Witches: Episode #2.6 (2021)
This episode belongs to James Purefoy
What a fantastic job by James Purefoy. Thought it was going to be another straightforward nasty character to add to his list but by the end he had me in tears. Lovely performance, both layered and moving. Loved the message storyline. A standout episode.
Castle Rock: Let the River Run (2019)
Not a patch on season 1
S1 was excellent and I had high hopes for this but don't know how I made it to the end, had to force myself. Despite the excellent Lizzy Caplan this was terrible. What happened to the writing? Watch s1 and stop.
Good Girls: Synergy (2020)
Losing me
What happened to this show? I used to laugh out loud and enjoy the warm moments between the lead characters but now its too dark, too slow and has uninteresting side stories dragging out across multiple episodes. The new characters are boring caracatures and unnecessary. Really disappointed with this season.
Tales of the City (2019)
Lost its charm
Aside from great work by Ellen Page, the new characters are on the whole pretty dire, self absorbed millenials. I found Mary Ann super annoying this time around too. Thankfully, Brian and Mouse are welcome returns (great casting choice in Murray Bartlett and thrilled to have Paul Gross back as Brian). The wonderful Anna Madrigal is the only reason I watched to the end. The flashback episode was for me one of the best hours of TV I've seen in a long time, what a fabulous lead performance. Very moving. Overall, not great so I'm going to finish the books and disregard most of what I've seen here.
