Damsel (2024)
Suspend your disbelief
Often when watching movies, I reach for my phone, check emails, tiktok or Instagram. Not once did I do that during this film. It was everything I wanted. Yes it was a little cheesy and predictable but it totally held my attention. I have enjoyed everything Millie Bobby Brown has been in and this is no different. It was action packed, cinematography was good as was costume. I'm surprised at the low score, Ive seen lots of other movies with higher scores and they have not been nearly as entertaining. I often wonder if the scores are predominantly made by men on this app and they probably would score low as it would not have been gory enough for them and it had a female strong cast. Not enough women taking the time to rate, or maybe I'm generalising. Oh well, I really enjoyed it.
Based on a True Story (2023)
So much potential
I enjoyed the plot and the characters but felt the imaginary scenes spoiled it, as when something shocking happened it mostly turned out to be in their imagination. Then when something happened that was shocking you thought it was another imaginary scene. And really the imaginary scenes were a protracted and a waste of time.
I did like that it was a little in the vein of Santa Clareta Diet in some ways but would have enjoyed it more if there was more dark humour.
The characters have so much potential but need to be less serious and keep the killing going. It's ludicrous but insane humour. Don't know if I would recommend it to my friends as there are to many flaws but theyy could be fixed on season 2. Oh and they need to improve on the hairstyles.
Detectorists (2014)
We need more of this.
What a beautifully written piece, well crafted and cast. Character development was thoughtful and not forced. The plot was sneakily gripping. Couldn't wait to get home to watch more of this on Netflix. Watched the 3 series over 2 days. Ended just as I would have wanted. This was a gentle but addictive drama/comedy. I hope there is another series as there is so much scope to continue with this and to explore more of the lives of the other characters but to keep Andy and Lance at the centre. Well done Mackenzie Crook. You are so talented. I was delighted to see that you wrote it. More of this please.
Pieces of Her (2022)
Book was fab. Tv series not so much
Loved the book. Loved the first episode of the TV series then... It lost its way. 8 episodes was too much and drama was spread too thinly. So disappointed. I can't believe Karen Slaughter thought this was a fair reflection of the book. Could have made a good movie if it was as good as the first episode, with maybe a better producer/director.
Frayed (2019)
Binge watch this. It is excellent!
Just finished this series. Started and stopped half way through the first episode. So glad I stuck with it. It is fab. Fingers crossed there is another series. I could see this run and run.
L.A.'s Finest (2019)
I'm glad I read the reviews
I'm glad I read the reviews s I wouldn't have watched after the first one. It hit so much better after episode 3.
Killing Eve: I Have a Thing About Bathrooms (2018)
Wish it'd only been one season
This season was good but not great. The storyline was weak and I didn't really invest in it. The first season's story was gripping and hard to predict. Throughout this one I often reached for my phone to do a bit browsing. This was a bit protracted and predictable. The writer or producer or editor or all three are different. There was too much emphasis on the sexual tension between Eve and Vilanelle. I felt Comer's acting outshone Or's. The series was trying too hard with the gore and shock tactics. Wish they'd stuck to one amazing series instead of going for a money spinner and now there's to be a third.
Home (2019)
Did not mean to binge watch this..
Did not mean to watch the whole series but I did. Intelligent, thought provoking television.
