Bloodline (2015)
High tension slow developing psychological thriller
This series drove me insane. In a positive way, that is. I really really really wanted to know how the main character was going to come out of his predicament. My patience was tested because plotpoints develop quite quickly in the beginning, but then the pace slows down and the psychological tension builds up.
Characters not saying what they're thinking most of the time, is nervewrecking. But that reminded me how spoiled I am in getting quick fixes in movies and series nowadays.
The tension between the family members is huge and you want them to do something, to bring the story forward. But that is the strength of this series: sometimes problems take years to get resolved and sometimes they don't get resolved at all.
Other reviewers are quite negative about the last couple of episodes, but I think they were quite strong (even made me briefly wonder whether this had been a good way to fix the ending of the Lost series).
It just goes to show that the many lies that the family was built on has been a rotten foundation. What is rotten to the core will never become healthy.
Very good acting by Ben Mendelsohn!!
Yellowstone: I Want to Be Him (2021)
A slow episode but with a very important plotpoint
Every series has its occasional 'slow' episode. This one is definitely it. Nothing much going on, Jimmy doing his Texas thing, Monica and Kayce slowly heading into a new direction, Jaimy and Beth still not liking each other. But, without spoiling it, this is a very important episode. It has one scene that will last the series for some time, I reckon. Of course everybody wants to get closure about the killings. But that's not the 'Montana kind of pace'. This is also a series about nature, the spirituality of the place and the need for people to keep it in tact. That is a slow proces, so we have to endure that slow pace. Viewers impatience is not to be blamed on the writers in this one. Just sit back, relax and savour the spectacular plotpoint.
Chesapeake Shores (2016)
Uncomplicated with gorgeous scenery
The storylines are not too complicated, the scenery is stunning and the actors are good. It's excellent family entertainment, although it does get a bit too 'sweet and dreamy' sometimes. No shooting, no killing, no explosions, no coke dealers. That's nice for a change. Just a family with everyday worries and problems. I just wish they made more episodes per season. Excellent casting of the family members by the way!
SPOILERALERT
It's also nice that the problems do not take too long to get solved. Characters do not dwellin their problems, they fix their problems. And that too is nice for a change. A light series about fairly normal people dealing with 'normal' problems. One might wish to be part of this extended family.
Ray Donovan (2013)
Top casting
I'm watching the entire series for the 2nd time and again it amazes me how well the brothers and father have been selected. These actors really make a disfunctional family work. Superb storyline, keeps one wondering "how would he get out of this one?" The solutions are very creative. Well done writers!
The Good Lord Bird (2020)
Only for Americans
Europeans will simply get this. 40 minutes talking about "the lord" lost me completely. Incredibly boring. A lot f talk, little action. Reminds me of Pulp Fiction type of movies. Alot of talk, little action. If you can truly relate tonthis period of time, it might be something for yoy.
Bloodshot (2020)
Predictable plot but very nice CGI
If you want action and nothing more, you got it. The plot is extremely predictable and done many, many, times before. No surprises there. If you're into cgi however, then you'll be extremely pleased. This movie is a kind of Matrix meets Transformers meets Michael Crighton's 'Prey'. If you're just into cool looking action with super tough guy Vin Diesel, you'll be satisfied.
