Manifest (2018)
Mundane soap opera
Drones on season after season with no redeeming features except to keep you tuned in to the next episode where nothing actually happens. Every scene is filled with a contrived intensity concluding with a buildup of loud music that tries inject a sense of drama, but ultimately you realize - nothing happened. After getting through the first season and one or two episodes of the second, I fast forwarded and watched the last episode of the third season and guess what? Nothing had happened. Even more baffling we are then informed that "it's official, there is another season coming!". I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict nothing will actually happen in that season either. It's too bad, I love sci-fi and the premise of this show seems like such a great concept, but in the end it's just another glorified series / soap opera.
British Made (2019)
Dreary and uninspiring
Suspected after 2 minutes it was going to be a complete waste of time. The "soundtrack" pretty much gave that away immediately, a one note drone that started from the get go and carried on throughout the whole film, trying in vain to create some kind of tension or cover up the sheer emptiness of anything engaging or I dont know what. I wanted to jump out the window after an hour and a half of that. The movie was altogether dreary and lifeless with not a single interesting character to care about, it just drolly dragged on and on without meaning and ended nowhere as we knew it would.
I would like to say it was depressing but it was too pointless to even be that.
