Omicron Persei 8

Baby Reindeer

Not for me. I watched the whole series, but it was overly long and I got bored. To each his own.

I can see why a lot of guys would find this film disturbing! LOL I thought the role reversal was great for a change. Strong performances from both leads. Great low budget revenge film.

Secrets & Lies

Well crafted story. BB does such a great job.

Backcountry

Pretty grim scene when the bear turns up, but the movie is well worth a watch. Succeeds in creating fearful suspense. MP is pretty good.

Silent Witness

This show really has run it's course (probably a few seasons ago). The characters are just SO dull!, and their involvment in the police work is unrealistic. My partner insists on staying with it till the end ... uggggh.

Men

I get it, but it is rather heavy handed. Nonetheless, it succeeded in being creepy, so worth a watch.

Going against concensus here and giving it just 5. Firstly, the movie weas overly long . The first haIf in particular, focussing on the relationship between the leads, was boring. I feel Zendaya brings nothing to the role; her Chani is quite unlikeable and, as someone has mentioned, lacks any chemistry with the lead. I found the cinematography uninspiring., there were very few shots that showed any stunning scenery at all, despite the exclamations of the leads as they look over the dunes. The shots of huge audiences and masses of people were overdone, and looked like a cut and paste job. The special effects for the worms were minimal, with all efforts being focussed on blowing stuff up ... very tedious. On top of all that, they have left out / altered important elements of the story!! Was looking forward to this, but unfortunately, was very disappointed, Wish the TV mini-series had been given this one's budget!

The Tenant

Comments about a predictable plot for a film released in 1976 can't really be taken seriously. The film successfully achieves a claustrophobic, creepy feel, typical of Polanski's paranoid themes. Great film.

Speak No Evil

Dopey premise but entertaining enough.

Blood: Season 2

Really enjoyed S1, but this sequel really did push the realms of credibility way too far. So much going on with one family ! Jesus Mary Joseph! LOL

Solid performances and good drama centering on family dynamics rather than the crime itself. Recommend.

Silent Witness

Awful! Predictable plot and terrible script. Avoid.

Das Mädchen aus dem Bergsee

Some poor acting, and the dubbing is pretty bad of course, but not the worse thing on Prime either (called Tightrope there).

Missing

A rather convoluted story told via screenshots. Too many plot holes to be convincing.

Babylon

Chaotic but interesting! Definitely worth watching.

Uggggh ... I can't believe I invested over two hours to this!
Started off OK, quite interested in what was going on. Moving to the 2nd part it rapidly became quite boring. ... too much irrelevant personal interaction stuff. Finally, in the last part, it became ridiculous! Are we to believe that the USA is so over un by RWNJs that they start destroying the city within a couple of days of the internet going down? LOL No need to answer that question ...

Cruel Summer: Season 1

A real pot-boiler that just goes on and on and on and on and on .... no idea where those high ratings belong, but not here! and there's a S2????? OMG LOL

DNA

Cross-Europe crime drama with a few holes here and there, but quite engaging none-the-less.

Wolf

Haven't read the book, but not sure why the poor ratings. The story involves the telling of three crimes, with UR doing a good job as the troubled policeman. Don't let the initial gory scenes turn you off, that's pretty much as bad as it gets - it's more crime thriller than horror. Interesting plot with plenty of new reveals throughout, IR maybe overdoing his part,, and the ending is somewhat rushed, but it's all good. Recommend. and look forward to S2.

No Escape

Or "How to ruin an idyllic life by allowing total strangers onto your yacht" ... like we all would, right? Completely implausible story involving a bunch of totally unlikeable characters. No rhyme or reason to what they do, apart from prolonging the agony of this show. Cannot recommend.

Fall

Very silly story, but does manage to create some tension. Easy watch when you're feeling lazy.

Is his the sequel to 'Crazy Rich Asians'?

The Pope's Exorcist

Questions - What renovations was that woman planning on a mostly derelict cathedral without any money? and did he really ride that scooter from Rome to Spain? LOL I couldn't take the rest of the movie seriously after that! Really lazy screenplay .... wished they'd worked harder. Best thing about this movie ... the young girl playing "I'm Stranded" by the Saints!

Inside

Great movie - it's a pretty slow burn to the punchline, but successfully builds tension throughout. DeFoe is amazing. Recommend for those who like something a bit different , just ignore the bad reviews - it's not an action heist film (thankfully).

The Diplomat

Bit of a mixed bag here. I wouldn't call it a serious political thriller, but it was quirky and reasonably entertaining once you suspend disbelief. Always good to see RS. :D

The Strays

I'll go against the majority here and say I really liked it. Simple story, but entertaining throughout. Like the lead.

Inhuman Resources

The story itself is totally unbelievable and full of holes; nonethless, I empathised with the main's desperation, and we enjoyed the series, partly due to good acting (really liked Cantona), and relatively fast-pace.

The Rewrite

Well I really liked it - lots of funny moments, a nice story and Hugh Grant ... all good!

Don't understand these positive ratings - I found this show very slow, and the girl quite obnoxious. Maybe it appeals to the gamers, but was a waste of time IMO ... gave up after first episode.
