47 Meters Down (2017)
Ok But full of inaccuracies and the ending !! Enough said about that !!!
The film was just watchable but could have been much better if it wasn't for the loads of inaccuracies, which where all the way through the film, sharks just don't behave like that and how could the two girls communicate with the ears exposed to the elements. Surely they would have needed a full head helmet which also covered their ears so that they could hear each other while communicating.
The film did get a little boring at times, with not enough of the actual behaviour of the sharks shown or showing what was happening on the surface to try and assist the girls.
It's one of those films where you just want to find out what happens at the end.
Unfortunately the ending was just laughable and completely spoil the film, don't waist your time and pitch something else to watch.
Ted (2024)
A Real Laugh Out Load Show !!!
Loved every episode, it's very funny and with some great characters, it's very crude at times but that's the joy of the show.
I constantly found myself laughing out load, loved the development of all the characters, I thought the acting was very good with an excellent script and great comedy timing.
When I first saw the series advertised I thought as it's been sometime since the films where released it may be too late but as I lived the films I thought I'd give it a go and am so pleased I did. I really think the show as opened up Ted to a new audience.
The story's in each episode where different enough as not to get boring or repetitive.
I really hope there with be a second season and would look forward to seeing it.
Squid Game: The Challenge (2023)
This is Bad Just So Bad !! Avoid and Don't Waist Your Valuable Time !!
This show is so bad !! Netflix pushed it as a follow up to the original Squid Game but it's not, it's a poor excuse for a reality type game show.
I stuck it out till half way through the second episode and it just got worse, none of the characters are likeable, the show is a total mess, I just don't see the point of it as it's just actors pretending to be in a gameshow and very badly done.
It's just so boring, the only connection to the original is the title SQUID GAME and that is where it ends, if Netflix had promoted it as just a reality game show and not letting subscribers think it's a season 2 of the original I think they would have got a different response.
If Netflix have increased my subscription to pay for garbage like this I think they'll just loose more subscribers, I'm. Seriously thinking of cancelling my subscription.
Netflix use to be good value for money with good quality shows but now it's just getting too expensive for the content provided and is just not as good as other services now available.
Heat (2023)
Eastenders Meets Australian Bush !!!
The acting from the main characters is ok but not so good from the rest, Danny Dyer looks like he's walked out of the Queen vic straight into the Australian bush, playing exactly the same character.
The story is old and predictable and been done many times and done much better than this.
Matia Marks who plays the 17yr old daughter isn't too bad apart from looking 27 and not 17.
Some really good shows have come out of Australia lately but this isn't one of them as it's slipped back to their cut aways where the characters are either in slow motion, sitting thinking or hugging and a singer performing a horrible pointless ballad, this happens far too often and was very common in Australian shows in the past.
The fire scenes are also pretty poor and just don't look real, they look like what they really are which is little controlled fires dotted around the bush, the house fire doesn't look real also.
We watched every episode to give it a chance but on reflection we feel we wasted 4hrs of our lives and we where very disappointed.
Beyond Paradise (2023)
Really Good Spin Off !!!!
I have watched and enjoyed the original Death in Paradise series for many years, when I heard about this spin off I thought I couldn't be anywhere as good as the original. To my surprise it's really good, have watch all episodes and I must say it's not riding on the back of the original Death in Paradise it's an excellent show in its own right. Kris Marshall is very good in this as he was in the original series, there also appears to be a really good growing rapport between him and Sally Bretton, they both are really good in this.
It is different enough but also something very familiar and cosy about the show.
I hope they make a second season, so we can follow the development of the characters.
Colin from Accounts (2022)
Really Enjoyed This Show 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Liked the idea of how the couple met, it's funny and light hearted and an easy watch, good chemistry between the main characters. The main characters development was really good to watch, good banter and funny moments and they appeared to bounce of each other and with the addition of some quirky workmates, friends and family members added to the enjoyment of the show. Colin was so cute and fitted In perfectly with the style of the show and the main characters. The age difference between the main characters was dealt with really well. The show was well written and the actors performed very well, I thought the acting was really good.
Let's hope they make a second season as I for one would definitely watch it, some really good shows coming out of Australia lately.
Inside Man (2022)
If you view it as a Farce and NOT a serious Drama you'll get it and love it.
Really enjoyed this, the people who have given it a negative comment and low score just don't get it was written as a FARCE and not a serious drama !!!!
We binge watched it, love the constant twists and turns, the acting was good, plenty of good laughs, drama and violence. The way the plot just shoots of in unexpected directions was brilliant !!!
David Tennant and Stanley Tucci where very good as you would expect with good support from Dolly Wells, Lydia West, Lyndsey Marshal and Louis Oliver.
A great performance from Atkins Estimond, who added great comedic content really clever writing adding this character.
Just give it a try and don't take too seriously.
Bad Sisters (2022)
Great Show !! Really Enjoyed It !!!
Really enjoyed this show, I recommend everyone give it a watch, really good acting, casting and directing. Great story well adapted, great banter between the sisters with good touches of comedy and all the emotions you would expect.
At first I wasn't keen on the constant going back and forth in time which seems to be the norm now but it was not over done and added to the enjoyment of the show.
We couldn't wait for the next episode each week, the only negative is may be it could have been done in eight episodes instead of ten as at times it appeared to be a bit drawn out, but having said that we did enjoy every episode and couldn't wait for the next.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
Got To Episode 6 which is just awful !! No more !!
Originally reviewed this after first two episodes and gave it five stars but now have got to episode 6 and it's dreadful, what are Marvel thinking, no character development, not very funny, I didn't watch till the end of the episode and will not be watching anymore.
Marvel seem to be fixated on pushing quantity and completely dropped quality, some of their latest shows are simply awful.
I think Marvel have pressed the self destruct button over the last few months.
Disney appear to be hell bent on pushing THIER narrative on to their subscribers, I am sure this will drive quite a few away a specially with the cost of living crisis, people who want to save money and looking to get rid of subscription costs I think Disney will be first on the list ??
I no it's first on my list !!!!
Marriage (2022)
Total Bore Fest !!!
Watched first episode, we where going to switch channel after about 30 mins but kept thinking something MUST happen but it didn't, we just think we waisted an hr of our lives, will not be watching the remaining episodes.
The BBC wonder why a record number of people are cancelling the Tv license fee, keep turning out programs like this and the BBC licensing website will crash with people wanting to cancel.
Sneakerhead (2022)
This show is just awful !!!
This is the type of show Dave are getting known for, badly written, poor acting and just not funny, I have not seen a show commissioned by Dave that is any good.
Just stick to what you are known for and that is repeats of good shows and please don't commission anymore.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Loved This Film !! A Real Blockbuster !!
Don't usually like sequels but both myself and wife really enjoyed this film, full of action and drama, the action scenes where brilliantly filmed. Believable characters and well acted, my wife said after about an hour she starts looking at her watch but not with this film, she said can't believe how quick the time went.
Highly recommend this film and it must be watched in the cinema on the big screen to fully enjoy it.
DI Ray (2022)
I Found This Enjoyable, Interesting and a Good Watch, Recommend !!!
I found the first episode a little slow as we got to no the characters but gave the second episode a watch and am glad I did, the show grew during the second episode and carried on getting better.
Really enjoyed it and the last episode was really good with a great twist at the end (which my wife guessed).
Just give it a go, I hope they make season 2.
Zachowaj spokój (2022)
Txt messages ect in polish ?? So how can we follow it NETFLIX ?
Tried to watch this seemed pretty good, it is dubbed very well with English dialogue but when it showed them receiving and sending txt messages they where in polish with no translation ?? How can we follow this show and Netflix wonder why people are leaving their service.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Watched it in 4 Chunks as it's so Slow and Boring !!!!
The longest I watched it was just over half an hour as it's so slow and boring, each time I watched a bit more I thought it must get better but no it didn't.
The whole film just seems pointless, don't think I've ever watched anything so slow and boring as this film.
Visually stunning is the only positive I can make from this, I just cannot understand why it's up for any awards, do they get to see a completely different version to us ???
This must be the worst western I have ever watched.
With so many subscription services wanting our hard earned cash, Netflix you must do better than this if you wish to keep your subscribers, if the increase in subscription fees was to pay for garbage like this you must do better parity quickly.
Do yourself a favour to save a couple hours of your life and give this a miss as my two stars are just for the cinematography and nothing else.
No Time to Die (2021)
WORST BOND FILM OF ALL TIME but good action movie !!!
THIS IS A BOND FILM IN NAME ONLY, the direction is a TOTAL DISCONNECT FROM THE BOND SERIES. Where are the gadgets Bond is known for ?? Where are the one liners ?? Ian Fleming must be turning in his grave at this trashing of the Bond theme as Ian Flemings character is nowhere to be seen. It appears that THE DIRECTOR HAS NEVER SEEN A BOND MOVIE IN HIS LIFE.
The custodians of the franchise should be ashamed of themselves, if this is the future of Bond then let's hope this is the last one as they clearly no longer have the budget, the will, the talent or the guts to make them as they use to.
Why are ALL new productions just box ticking exercises, this movie must signal the END OF THE BOND FRANCHISE.
R. I. P BOND SERIES 1962 - 2021.
On the Verge (2021)
Too Sugary Sweet !! Just Awful !!
Everything is huggy huggy and sugary sweet and sickly, managed two episodes that's me done. Everything is just way over the top, it just doesn't travel well to us in the uk. I can't see the point of the show, no one is likeable the direction is all over the place. On character has a melt down and is a spy the next day, WHAT !! I think this show will just bomb in the uk.
Spitting Image (2020)
Just isn't that funny.
Loved the original, the new series has its moments but on the hole it's just not funny and quite boring.
The original series was funny and very cutting which this just is not,
The only positive for me is I watched it at a friend's and didn't have to pay a subscription to Britbox, if this is their new programming to get new subscriptions I'm just pleased I watched this first because it's saved me some cash.
If you're thinking of subscribing just to watch this DONT and save yourself some money.
Intruder (2021)
Awful absolutely Awful !!! Channel Fives Ground Breaking Dramas ?? No Thanks !!!
If this is channel fives offering of ground breaking dramas, I think I'll give the rest a miss. Who ever commissioned and agreed to put this on our screens should be sacked.
Why would an actress of Sally Lindsay's stature agree to be part of something this bad is beyond me.
The characters are unbelievable, considering they are affluent, successful people the choices they make are laughable and the acting is just so bad it was embarrassing to watch.
The idea and basic plot is good but the execution and writing is terrible, and the continuity was none existent.
The main character worked for London City Radio whose listeners where in Taunton and the cars have Northern Irish registration.
This is the worst drama of 2021 so far, don't waist your time just give it a miss.
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
First 4 episodes 1 star each, last 2 episodes nothing !!!
Loved the first four episodes, really good thriller, characters very interesting left us waiting for the next episode with intrigue. Unfortunately the last 2 episodes where utter garbage, just not into this fantasy crap. This could have been so much better without this mind crap. Also the scenes filmed in the dark where almost unwatchable as you could not see what was happening.
If your into fantasy type series you will probably like it but just not for me.
WandaVision (2021)
Not very Funny, First 2 episodes, 3rd better. 4 onwards Brilliant !!! STAY WITH IT. !!!!
Only just managed to get through the first 2 episodes, JUST !!. I didn't find them funny or engaging, just silly, hated the small screen black and white look of the fifties, I no that is what they are trying to achieve but I am not a fan, especially when you have spent several thousand pounds on a large screen tv, it just failed to hold my attention.
I gave the first 2 episodes 1 star each and the third 2 stars hence the score of 4 stars.
I will give one more episode a try as the third did improve towards the end but it must improve in leaps and bounds if it is to get me to watch anymore after that, just very disappointed as I expected much much better from Marvel Studios, well even they can have a flop I suppose.
Paragraph above was my review after 3 episodes.
From the 4th episode it's brilliant, love it, just stay with it.. All making sense. I think Disney should have realest the first 4 episodes together, then everyone would have got it. Hope there's another series to follow.
JUST STICK WITH IT FOLKS !!!!!!!!!!
The Serpent (2021)
Spoilt by Constant Time Shifting !!!
The story is good, the acting is good the location is stunning but the constant shifting forward and backwards spoilt it for us. We did enjoy it but could have been much better without the severe editing.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Completed Series One and Love The Program !!!
Seen this advertised and thought I would give it a watch not realising it was for season two, so I just completed season one as it's available on BBC iPlayer and just love the show, similar stories have been told before but love this take on it.
Really good acting and the special effects are very well done, especially the animals, overall very well produced, will now start season two and let's hope there is more to follow.
I Hate Suzie (2020)
To Frantic !! To Chaotic !! Not Funny !! What is It Trying to Be ???
Am halfway through episode four and it's just way to Chaotic, which makes it not enjoyable, not sure which is reality or fantasy am trying so hard to enjoy this but just cannot. It's just frantic frantic frantic just no let up which completely spoils it, it's just to exhausting to watch, surely as a viewer you need some let up from this chaos, not sure if I can watch anymore after episode four will just have to see if I have half hour of my time to waste on episode 5.
With all the build up and the hipe give the to this I just expected much better.
On the Rocks (2020)
Sooooo Sloooowww and Soooo Booooring !!!!
Billed as a comedy but where are the laughs, this film is so slow and boring and after about 30 minutes you could predict the ending, give it a miss and use the 90 minutes to do something worth while, Bill Murray is so better than this. If Apple think offerings like this are going to keep people subscribing they are mistaken, also why do directors keep filming so much of their films and shows in near darkness, when they're outside it's night time with very little lighting and when inside I think they either forget to turn on the lights or use 10 watt bulbs to save power, this makes some scenes very difficult to see what is going on.
