Lupin (2021)
What are all the high scores for
Ridiculous. Just watched season one. All the characters are stupid. None of their decisions make sense. There turns of events make absolutely no sense. The last episode, a guy holding a loaded gun is apprehended by police and released within half an hour?! Seriously?! No one can put two and two together. Save yourself the trouble. Don't bother watching this. All the positive reviews are false or just french nationalists.
Clifton Hill (2019)
What is wrong with people...
Second film I've recently watched that the rating on IMDB was wildly off. The film isn't too long, it isn't confusing, nor does the mystery not conclude.
The last five minutes sum everything up but leave a nice twist at the very end to open up the opportunity of a sequel.
Acting was good, main character was likeable. Ignore all the dribble comments, and give this film 10 mins and you'll be hooked.
Joe Lycett's Got Your Back (2019)
Most mind-numbing show I've ever watched.
Automated glitch on an airline booking system dragged out for 15 minutes. Airbnb sketch ridiculous and then implying that he made them spend millions in anti-fraud initiatives? His voice. It's not funny, nor are the other "comedians" he has with him. How was this show ever commissioned?
Requiem (2018)
Don't understand the negative reviews
Well filmed (has a Scandi feel to it - even though it's based in Wales), no real loose ends (that other reviewers alluded too), just enough to allow for a second season, which is always the case. Actors, adult and child are good.
There are know jumpy bits, but it can be immensely unsettling at points. The most complimentary thing I can say about it is that I am as regular as clockwork when it comes to bedtime, always at 22:30. But for this, I stayed up to 01:00 to get from episode 1 to 5 in a day, and watched the last episode the following day.
If you are reading this review having enjoyed the show, I recommend you watch The Chalet or Tabula Rasa next.
