What I thought about: Emily in Paris
A charming comedy romance with breathtaking views of Paris, I was really enjoying this one up until its somewhat chaotic end, whereupon it suddenly felt, well, a bit of a sausage fest. I hope a second season, if there is one, focuses more on Emily’s marketing prowess. What’s it about?Emily is a young but successful… Continue reading What I thought about: Emily in Paris →
Quickfire Round: The Social Dilemma
I’m glad this documentary exists, as it’s made a lot of people wake up to the fact that massive social media companies like Facebook are hardly being generous by giving free access to their platform. Alas, corny acting prevents it reaching its full potential. First, the good bits: this film presents first-hand accounts of how… Continue reading Quickfire Round: The Social Dilemma →
What I thought about: Ratched
Offering a look into the life of Mildred Ratched before she began her tyrannical reign as Head Nurse in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the excellent production values and superb acting went a long way to mask this show’s otherwise quite disappointing plot. What’s it about?Have you read One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?… Continue reading What I thought about: Ratched →
What I thought about: Criminal (UK) (Season 2)
I couldn’t wait to get started on the second season of this gripping police interview drama. It’s a testament to the quality of acting in this show that I remained captivated for the entire runtime despite all the action taking place between a few actors in a small room. What’s it about?A special unit of… Continue reading What I thought about: Criminal (UK) (Season 2) →
Quickfire round: Loaded
Four life-long friends become millionaires overnight as the closing money comes in from the sale of their gaming business. Unable to handle their new found wealth, and facing pressure from their new US mega-corp owners to make a soulless sequel of their hit game Cat Factory, hilarity (and woe) ensues. This show was cancelled in… Continue reading Quickfire round: Loaded →
Back for more: Good Girls (Season 3)
The Breaking Bad meets suburban-housewives dark comedy is back for a third season which takes it in a slightly different direction, although fans of the first two seasons surely won’t be disappointed. It looks like everything has gone back to a relative normal for the three working mums following the drama of the last season.… Continue reading Back for more: Good Girls (Season 3) →
Quickfire round: Love Guaranteed
This film was rubbish. A shallow, childish, and ultimately very weird film about a man who sues a dating website for failing to find love. I mean, it sounds interesting, right? But it wasn’t good. The trailer looked so impressive. Man shows up in lawyer’s office, asking for help to take advantage of a clause… Continue reading Quickfire round: Love Guaranteed →
What I thought about: Mary Kills People (Seasons 1-3)
Thought-provoking and dramatic, if a little rough around the edges, this drama about a doctor who assists suicide whilst balancing home and work life and being under constant peril from police investigation, is a great watch for fans of shows like Dexter. What’s it about?Dr Mary Harris is a doctor who saves people. She also… Continue reading What I thought about: Mary Kills People (Seasons 1-3) →
Quickfire round: Trinkets (Season 2)
Much worse than the first one, this final season of the show about an unlikely trio of friends who bond over court-mandated visits to Shoplifters Anonymous was full of terrible writing and sketchy plots. Still, the cast are amazing and the finale was strong. Trinkets is essentially a story of friendship. Three characters from school… Continue reading Quickfire round: Trinkets (Season 2) →
What I thought about: Teenage Bounty Hunters
This show about, well, bounty hunters who happen to be teenagers, has the same energy as Netflix’s Insatiable. That is to say, it’s random, doesn’t make sense, and is probably, technically, not a very good show. And yet, somehow, being drawn so much to the characters makes me want a sequel. What’s it about?Actually, you… Continue reading What I thought about: Teenage Bounty Hunters →
