White Men Can't Jump (2023)
Nice easy film that's a lot of fun and a enjoyable watch
Loved the original for its easy to watch-ness and funny quips, this film does the exact same but in todays time. Thought Jack Harlow played his part very well, Sinqua Wells was also great. It's not going to win any award's obviously but, just like the first one, it's a film you can put on, relax and enjoy. Obviously you know what's going to happen but that's the fun of it, just go with the flow and follow the 2 characters on their own little journeys. Don't really understand the bad ratings, when it does exactly what it is meant to! First one wasn't a blockbuster or an incredible film by any stretch of the imagination BUT it was an enjoyable and entertaining film to watch, imo just like this one.

Comedic Perfection
I regard myself as someone who is a true lover of stand and really respect it as an art form. Out of the hundreds of stand up shows I've seen, this is one Is right near the top.
As other reviewers have stated, watch his 4 part Netflix specials first. If you don't like them then don't watch this, simple. But if you appreciate comedy for the art work that it is then this is a masterpiece. Every second of this show is thought of and played out to perfection, except the little improv bit about someone opening a can of drink which absolutely killed me!!
This special is a lot more political and actually about him rather than him playing a character on stage but I absolutely love it. His points of view on society in the UK are spot on and I'm so happy there are people like him talking about it.
One of my favourite comedy specials of all time. Can't recommend it enough. Please please watch! Hoping it will one day makes its way on too a streaming site or DVD at least.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
One of the best series I've watched.
Without a doubt one of the best series I've seen. The acting, the story, the dialogue, the characters, everything was mesmerising and left me wanting more. Watched the first 2 seasons together a while ago and loved it, then the final season smashed it out the park. The ending brought everything together and felt like a huge crescendo at the end of a orchestral masterpiece. Superb viewing, I highly recommend. CGI is a bit janky and rough in places but doesn't effect the series in any way imo.
