The Blind Monkey (2016)
Spoit by the loud background music
Don't the producers of these documentaries watch their own product? Can't they hear that the background music is drowning out the narrator. The programme was really spoilt for me by the unnecessarily loud music. It was foreground music, rather than the gentle background it should have been.
Nurses: Achilles Heel (2020)
Could have been really good........
....but who knows? I find the American way of talking nineteen to the dozen with lips that hardly move makes it too hard to understand what they are saying. I managed to watch the whole of Episode 1 of the first series, but don't know if I will bother with the rest - it's just too much hard work - and that's not the reason I watch TV - I watch to relax.
Thirteen (2016)
It might have been good........
.........but who knows. It was shot almost completely in the dark, making 'watching' it unbearable. Why are British made films and documentaries made like this? Or is it maybe the translation between British made to suit their technology whilst ours (New Zealand) is totally different and not suitable??
Anyway, I didn't get past part way through the 3rd episode.
A Young Doctor's Notebook & Other Stories (2012)
Unbelievably Unfunny!
Why anyone would consider this humourous entertainment is beyond me, it certainly is not to my taste. You have to watch the first few minutes of the first episode and then make up your own mind.
Blown Away (2019)
Worth it just to see the beautiful glass blown sculptures
Unlike many reviews before mine, I'm not going to tell who won even before you see the series. Shame on those reviewers who didn't indicate that their review had spoilers. I enjoyed it for the sheer talent on display, the beauty that was produced, and depth of feeling displayed by the artists. I look forward to a further series, hopefully in the not too distant future.
Well, Season 2 has come around and it's so much better than the first as regards the attitudes of the competitors. The talent on show is remarkable but I have just one complaint. Near the end of each episode the judges discuss the pros and cons of each exhibit. Then they call in the contestants and reveal who has won this week and who is going home. BUT we are not shown the winning piece!! I don't know about you, but I can't remember who did what and would love to see the winning AND losing pieces at the time the week's winner and loser are revealed.
King of Thieves (2018)
A Good Story.......
And a great cast but each of the main characters had to learn only half the script - the other half consisted of the 'F' word, which completely spoilt the film for me. I'm not a prude, but the use of the word could have been toned down without losing any of the story-line or humour.
